Nice condo, Outdoor space just Ok
Pls Note, did not do Yelp review or any Public review. Believe those can be unfair. However wanted to respond to mgmt and owners to help encourage upkeep and accuracy. We booked unit based on staying put and enjoying the season in the outdoor space. Online pictures reflected nice deck, view, nice river access, etc. While Inside was clean, nice and comfortable, the deck was not ready for guests. Table, chairs, outside of grill, etc was very dirty, appeared to be unused for quite some time. View of river from the deck limited by overgrowth of untrimed bushes/trees. Immediate neighbors to the left of outdoor deck smoking etc. Understandable but the proximity was another unexpected con. Ground level grass to river had clearly not been maintained for years contradictory to photos (but neighboring property was beautiful!). First level tenant was not happy with our being there with our dog (which we understood in the booking was ok to have). Bottom line, condo nice and would recommend but the outdoor experience was not.

Hi There! Thank you so much for taking the time to write a review for our property. It looks like you may have intended for this to have been a private message to us, but was posted publicly. That's okay! We greatly appreciate your feedback, and want to make sure that the property is meeting the expectations of our guests, and that the photos and listing overall are as transparent and as accurate as possible. We will certainly review what you've shared with us in detail, and take appropriate steps to remedy. I'm also sorry to hear about the neighbors - This is not typical, and you are definitely allowed to have the pets that we approved. Thank you again, and we hope you look for us again, should the mountains be calling your name! Wil & Grey Mountain Vacation Lodging

Creekside Condo
The place was very nice and clean. The best part is at night and you hear the creek. At first it sounds like its raining really hard then you realize it's the creek. Very relaxing. We had e-bikes so it was nice to ride a mile to the stores or a few more to the village.

Perfect for our ski vacation
We stayed here with our family of five, kids (11, 8, and 4), as well as my parents for a ski vacation. It was a perfect location for the Vail Ski resort as well as convenient to the free shuttle. The kitchen was perfect for making all of our meals, the rooms were spacious for sleeping or just relaxing, and the view from the living room was beautiful and peaceful. We were also able to bring our dog which was convenient for us. We did have to reach out to the owners during our stay, but they were quick at getting back to us and we would definitely stay here again. Thanks for a great place to stay!

Excellent place or families and pets
Our experience was excellent from before we arrived until we left. Ann and Larry both reached out before our trip for details and provided excellent resources for our stay. The townhome is located a short bike ride, bus or car ride from Vail Resorts. The home is near bike/walking path. Our dogs were able to enjoy the dog park located just a few minutes walk away. The home has a updated kitchen and spacious living room. The two of the bedrooms are very spacious, the 3rd has a great bunk bed, all the bed were comfortable. There was plenty of room to store our outdoor gear. This was perfect place for our dogs and family.

Loved our stay here. We booked a week stay for our family and our two dogs. Beautiful deck with a mountain stream below. Brand new kitchen. The unit was clean and very well stocked with linens and other essentials. Definitely can recommend a stay here.

Worst vacation accommodations & treatment in 35 years
Unacceptable accommodations- wish I could post pics -notified Larry(homeowner) we awoke to find DOG FOOD in two pair of our boots (sign of rodents). His reply/attitude was rude, unprofessional and dismissive. Rental management refused to send over a “troubleshooter” unless we could submit picture evidence of rodents. That challenge provided us with the following horrific findings: -lower KITCHEN cabinet had owners bag of dog food chewed in two places, surrounded by rodent droppings. Also a chewed bag of what appeared to be wood chips for grilling. Condo Kleenex supply also stored in same cabinet surrounded by droppings. Empty kitchen cabinets by stove were filthy and contained more droppings. -after sending above information to Larry (owner) he instructed us by text to search private closet and remove more bagged dog food. This bag was also chewed with dog food spread everywhere. The closet floor and shelves were littered with rodent droppings and chewed candy wrappers. -1/2 bath downstairs unusable due to rodent droppings around door and on bath mat. There is a large hole in sheetrock behind toilet appearing to be an entry point. -upon above findings submitted to both Larry and management Larry contacted the next door neighbor to enter the home and set out traps. -rodent caught in trap, other traps tripped -STILL NO CONTACT FROM LOCAL MANAGEMENT AFTER MULTIPLE PHOTOS SENT AND REQUEST FOR HELP!! Additional complaints: THERE IS NO LAUNDRY ROOM!!! Descend down narrow, steep stairs to stacked units. Must sit on stairs to put laundry in machine. Large hole in Wall beside units with evidence of rodent nesting activity. Curtain behind units hides a horrible filthy sight with more rodent droppings. (Welcome bags with guests snacks were labeled and stored there) Misleading booking information that prior negative reviews of filth had been resolved. -inside washer door still covered in black mold. Detergent dispenser also showed mold. Kitchen cabinets/countertops have not been updated as advertised.

The comments in this review are an inaccurate description of the property and the situation that occurred. For many years, without issue, the property owner had been storing dog food within the property, for use when his family visited. The way in which the guest reported the issue, "we found dog food in our shoes," was confusing to the owner. So he did ask for photos and for her to check multiple places, to see if there was any other evidence of a rodent. Unfortunately, the process of looking in nooks and crannies, behind water heaters and such, caused this guest to form a strongly negative opinion. She sought a nearly full refund and threatened legal action, yet the problem wasn't severe enough for her to want to check out from the property. Perhaps that is because immediate action was taken. A very small field mouse was trapped and removed. All perishable items that were in deep storage were removed, and the source of the mouse's entry into the property was sealed. She chose to continue staying in the property until her departure date, and this should be the greatest indication of the nature of the situation. A major remodel was just completed, with additional improvements planned for spring 2021. The home is impeccably and professionally cleaned. The online property listing shows and describes the home accurately. The shared laundry room has modern clean appliances and is exactly as described - a shared laundry room that is accessible to the lower level 1-Bedroom lock off as well as the upper level 3-Bedroom. We are sure that future guests will see newer reviews that accurately reflect the property's quality. Book with confidence or contact us if you have any concerns.

Pet friendly option
Carpet is nasty-has to be replaced not cleaned-had to wear socks or shoes the entire time. Window broken in front upstairs bedroom so no way to close during the day. Washer/dryer is shared with basement tenant. Front loading washer was covered in black mold when I started our first load. Sharing a washer/dryer with covid conditions was not ideal either. No pictures from the front provided. 3/5 units have more then 3 cars/motorcycles to each unit. Common sight amongst locals stacking in each condo for cheaper rent. Very junky from the front. I-70 is right outside the front door. This unit is on the frontage road and you will hear semis all night with the windows open in the summer; not a huge issue if a heavy sleeper. The biggest issue is the jerk tenant who lives below. Constantly bangs on the ceiling when walking around. Within 15 mins of arriving the banging started and didn’t stop until I made contact with Larry about his behavior. My husband and I considered repacking the car and returning home the very evening we arrived. The same evening the renter approached our car and began by introducing himself as the guy no one likes who lives below. The harassment continued as he told us about all the footsteps he hears all while he CHOSE to live in the basement of a Vrbo. Go figure! I told him we have an 8 and 12 yr old AND they are going to make noise. Larry assured me the basement tenant was not to make contact with us again. Harassment started again on Wed with the banging on the ceiling. His behavior totally freaked my kids out! Ridiculous is all I can say! Yes, Larry is a great host but the information he provides to Vrbo tenants is not accurate. Andrew is not the current basement tenant and the current is not professional as stated in the info sheet, anything but. Both misleading. Our rental was almost 3k for 9 days including taxes. I’m furious we spent that kind of money and had the Vrbo experience we had. Larry wants the best of both worlds; a paying basement tenant and also a rented Vrbo all the while asking us not to write a bad review bc he plans to make changes. $3k is a lot of money and I would take my hard earned money elsewhere. It’s hard to imagine we’re the first Vrbo renters in this unit who had this unfortunate experience. Positives: The dog park is fantastic and the bus stop is super close. Vail is beautiful and has so much to offer just stay somewhere else.

We take all guest feedback seriously, and have passed along these comments to the owner of the home, who has taken the opportunity to make some improvements. The carpet has recently been replaced with LVP wood-like flooring, and the owner is replacing the kitchen cabinets and countertops before Thanksgiving. The downstairs tenant has also moved out, and it's now possible to rent the home as a 1 bedroom, a 3 bedroom, or the whole house as a 4 bedroom.

Beautiful Gore Creek
Very nice, pet-friendly condo right on Gore Creek. We could sit on the deck and listen to the beautiful sounds of Gore Creek all day. The Dog Park is a short walk away. Close and convenient location to grocery stores in West Vail as well as Lionshead and Vail Village. Great location.

Great stay
This is a great value for the price. We needed a place with a kitchen and that would also allow a dog. House is well set up with living on main (2nd floor of townhouse) and 3 bedrooms upstairs sharing a nice-sized bathroom. Small bathroom on main level was useful. Great view from the deck of the river below and we loved the sounds of the river. Free bus to town is very useful and convenient. Kitchen is very well stocked and the owner is quick to respond to any questions. We enjoyed our stay - thanks!

Close to bus, carpets need cleaning
Communication with owner was easy. Steps from the bus to town/mountain. Creek on one side, highway on the other. Overall, a comfortable, older unit. Shelving in kitchen was sagging and carpet needed to be replaced or deep cleaned. Check in and out was easy and flexible.

Easy stay in West Vail
Great, affordable townhome to stay in Vail. Extremely close to Intermountain bus stop with both West Vail routes stopping there. Great creek sounds and views and despite the proximity, you can barely tell I-70 is nearby. Larry is easy to talk to and stays in contact if you need him!

Easy to get to! Bus stop one house down, super convenient to get to the mountain and back. Gracious host, easy to get a hold of. Sweet property with lots of charm. Even our dogs enjoyed themselves. Recommend blackout shades for those two front bedrooms but otherwise super comfortable.
