We had a wonderful stay and would absolutely return. The location is fantastic -- so close to Vail…read moreVillage, and the complimentary bus service made getting around incredibly easy. We especially loved the spa and the complimentary tea service, which was such a nice touch. The front desk associate who checked us in was very kind and welcoming, and the concierge was extremely helpful and friendly, which made our arrival and stay feel very smooth and stress-free. A few small notes about the room: even though it was very cold outside, the room stayed quite warm at night and we ended up sleeping with the door cracked every evening. The vanity plug-in mirror in our room didn't work, and on the first night we placed the "no maid service" sign on the door, but housekeeping still entered and cleaned the room while we were out. Dining and service were overall great. At Bully Ranch, the hostess wasn't the friendliest, but our server was wonderful and made up for it. The staff at The King's Club were fantastic -- our waitress was from Costa Rica and was absolutely lovely. The German mulled hot wine was delicious, and her recommendation of the Tequila Mockingbird was excellent. I was hoping for a true chai latte, but the one at Trefe Café tasted more like warm milk with cinnamon rather than a traditional chai. On the positive side, the valet and room service staff were amazing, and the spa team was incredibly kind and welcoming -- they truly made the experience special. Overall, a beautiful hotel with great amenities, a perfect location, and mostly excellent service. Just a few small details to improve, but we had a very enjoyable stay.

They have lockers, showers, sauna, steam room, hot tubs, and pool. They offer shampoo, conditioner, lotion, spf, razors, hair brushes, makeup wipes, cold towels, robes and slippers. This was an amazing spa experience! My massage was the best massage I've ever had. I did a 50 minute Abhyanga massage and it was so relaxing! After the massage, I sat by the fire and enjoyed the peace and quiet. I stayed until about 2pm enjoying all of the spa amenities. They provide fruit infused water and teas. There is also an oxygen bar available for an additional cost. They do allow children under the age of 16, with adult supervision. There were a few kids in the pool so it's not an adult only area which is the only downfall.

This place is perfect for a weekend getaway location and property. We arrived and they have a…read moreparking garage, with easily accessible elevators straight to your room. The building is beautiful with a cabin type feel offering seating areas with a fire place to hang out and watch any weather going on outside. (At one point for us it was snowing and absolutely beautiful outside) The rooms are large with 2 bedrooms and two bathrooms, a nice sized living room and dining space and every appliance and kitchen utensils you need to have meals right there in your room. This saved us a bunch of money from having to go out to eat all of the time with 10 people. It was large enough for us to have breakfast and dinner all together in one of the suites. Worked out perfectly. We noticed that one of the remote controls was missing batteries, so we used the one from the living room and all went well. Notified the front desk and they were on it immediately to get us those batteries. Great service! We did take advantage of the hot tub a couple of nights. They have an indoor hot tub and pool and an outdoor hot tub and pool, along with a sauna and a steam room. So many options and all free with your room. This is a great place to also bring a family. They have a playground and a free shuttle every 30 minutes to take you in to town for shopping and dining. This is a great property and I highly recommend then for a weekend or a week stay.

This was my first time staying here, and I thought the price was good compared to some of the other…read moreproperties in the area. The parking was attached to my building. There could sometimes be a kind of long wait for the elevator though. I had a two bedroom, two bath condo, and it had all of the basic kitchen necessities I could've needed. I was a little unclear about housekeeping as they gave me a flyer which I thought said I wouldn't get housekeeping, but I actually did. The one frustrating thing was trying to add a name to the reservation. At hotels, you can just call down to the front desk and get that taken care of. Here, I had to go to an owners portal (I'm not even an owner.... Just booked it direct on the Marriott website) and fill out a bunch of information about the guest, including their email address and address. It took them a long time to process, and I wasn't sure if the second person was going to end up having issues checking in. So, make sure you have all of your names right on the reservation to begin with! The shuttle was very quick both heading to Vail and leaving Vail. I was a little confused as to where to pick up the shuttle though at the hotel. I stayed in Evergreen and they said the shuttle would pick me up in front of the building, but I didn't know exactly where that was. It turns out that the front entrance is between the third and fourth floors of the hotel.

St. James Place: Charming Beaver Creek…read more Construction and marketing time-shares in ski resorts has always required adroit thinking. The loquacious salesperson comprehends that winter inventory will virtually sell itself; however, several winter months of maintenance fees will not support the bottom line. This simple analysis has led to a market glut of time-shares in destination areas such as Orlando. Another factor is that the U.S. time-share market clientele is simply not attentive to the geography or demographics of The Rocky Mountains. Interval International categorizes every state from Colorado, Idaho, Montana, Colorado, Utah, and Wyoming as the "Rocky Mountains." These states may indeed share the Rockies, but these states have very ingenuous differences even for the client who is a skier. And specifically, there are market differences in Vail, Avon, and Beavercreek, Colorado. All three of these communities are grouped together on the Interval International website with no discussion of the vibrant differences that location provides. A client from the Midwest or East with an upscale property will unlikely be unhappy to learn that following several hours of flight and rental car drive that the family will be vacationing near I-70 or in a poorly located time-share. Beavercreek, Colorado is near Avon, Colorado, and the difference in ambience is equal to the vertical difference between the two villages. Several years ago, my wife and I viewed the construction of St. James Place in Beaver Creek; then we experienced a sales tour. The developers of St. James Place in Beaver Creek incorporated the aesthetics of a mountain property that blended in perfectly with the architecture of Beaver Creek. Zoning regulations are vital to a tony community such as Beaver Creek. The insouciant time-share owner may visit the Vail, Avon, and Beavercreek page at Interval International, and "discover" 16 properties. These properties are vastly different, and woe to the decision-maker who chooses poorly for his family. Beaver Creek has several very fine properties, and some research is necessary. Beaver Creek has become a true four-season resort village and is home to some very expensive second and permanent homes. The minute I saw St. James Place available, I traded for a summer week. St. James Place at 210 Offerson Road, P.O. Box 1512, Avon, CO 81620 970-845-9300 800-626-7100) is not in Avon; the property is in Beaver Creek. This property offers 1-4 bedrooms and bathrooms. The two photos on the website will provide only a glimpse of the appointments of this property. The website provides the following description: Located in the heart of the prestigious Beaver Creek Resort Village, St. James Place provides the ideal mountain vacation home. Shopping, dining, ice-skating, and the Vilar Performing Arts Center are outside your door. Both downhill and cross-country skiing are available, or you can visit the slopes at Vail nine miles away. In the summer, hiking, horseback riding, fly-fishing, golf, and a myriad of other activities are nearby. After a busy day, relax by the indoor pool, work out in the exercise room, or enjoy dinner at the restaurant on-site. Another website (http://beavercreek.snow.com/home/) provides the following: At the gate you leave the world behind. A luxury resort with the cozy feel of an Alpine village, Beaver Creek Resort is nestled at the foot of North America¹s World Cup Mountain. It is perhaps the very best of luxury family skiing, and has earned accolades of awards for its food, wine, and service. These websites are very accurate in an assessment of the lifestyle at Beaver Creek. We have enjoyed skiing at Beaver Creek as well as several summer holidays at this perfect mountain resort. Beaver Creek is a feast for the eyes, a delight for the senses. The influence of renowned resorts such as Switzerland's St. Moritz, Italy's Cortina, and Spain's Val d'Aran led to the creation of a unique mountain resort full of excitement and village luxury.... When George Townsend first settled in the valley in 1881, he knew he'd found something special- an exceptional mountain, lined with aspen groves and beautiful vistas that would become a world-renowned destination. In 1972, Vail continued his vision by purchasing the land and began designing a resort that combined western hospitality and European charm. Obstacles delayed resort completion, but on December 15, 1980, Beaver Creek finally opened to the public. Beaver Creek is a planned and fully developed residential community. Care has been taken to provide underground parking, and a true pedestrian village. Beaver Creek is charismatic, disarming, and enigmatic. The resort village is a delight to shop, to ski, to hike, or simply to appreciate the elegance of the mountains. Numerous restaurants (reservations) provide a variety of cuisine; however, if the tourist requires a supermarket, then a short drive to a different village is required.

I booked a reservation for one of their condos that is not refundable. Talked with their front desk…read moreregarding the property before making the reservation including dates for my trip. After I booked and can't cancel I received an email that the property is under renovation and the courtyard would be closed and there would be exterior work going on during my stay. Every one of their rooms is impacted by noise in the courtyard on a good day let alone crews jackhammering the whole time. I feel like their employee should have let me know. Very disappointed!

Visiting again today. I've stayed here dozens of times over the years as an owner in the Marriott…read moretimeshare system. The last few visits have been good and it seems the place is getting better. All the little things are working and even the TV lineup - which for years had been very spotty - has been working 100%. Right now with Covid, not all the amenities are available, but overall the place has made a lot of progress. The rooms are very clean and in good condition. The beds are comfortable. The gas fireplace is working. The towels are plentiful. The rooms have humidifiers available. There is a shuttle running regularly to take you to Lionshead or Vail Village, and then it's a short walk to the lifts. As a regular visitor (6 or 8 times a year), it's great to see the place well taken care of. Kudos!

Great location... right on Gore Creek... and mountain views!…read more We just returned from an awesome family vacation in and around Wyoming, Utah and Colorado. In Vail, CO, family friends met up with us, and we had a great time together over several days. StreamSide Summary: - much fun in the pool - waffle breakfast in the Activity Center! * - ice cream shakes in the Activity Center! * - paranoid bracelets and chains * - making sugar scrubs in the Activity Center* - great view of the mountain... our building was built such that the patio let you touch the grass as the mountain rose steeply behind the building... and an elk walked right up and looked into our room! awesome! - hikes through the Activity Center - DVD - we watched MacGyver! - BBQ right next to Gore Creek... quite the awesome dinner location... picnic tables next to grill... grass leading to the creek * most things in the Activity Center have a small fee Longer Description This property is definitely older. We own with MVCI... if you told us that the room doesn't have washer and dryer - just walk down the hall for multiple of each in the laundry room, or that the decor's a bit dated, we may have looked elsewhere. While the first impression was "ok, this is just a little bit older than we're used to," and it is, the location and fun at the property quickly overcame that. This is a very nice property... great staff, fun activities, etc. We had lunch and then went on the Trapper's Run hike, with the lady from the Marriott as our guide - 3 miles total, a half to and from the hotel and one mile up and one mile down the hillside. Being at 8,000 feet altitude in Vail, and with the hike up another few hundred feet, it was good exercise, but we were ok, as it was a relaxed pace. The guide fans friendly and helpful - she pointed out the Columbine, the State Flower of Colorado... they are beautiful. We saw lots of awesome flowers and tall trees, and some neat homes along the hike. We also had much fun at the pool, which is indoors and outdoors; there is a hot tub. We recommend Marriott's StreamSide at Vail, and do look forward to staying here the next time we're in town. Thank you, StreamSide staff!

The Evergreen Lodge has a fantastic location as it sits smack dab in the middle between Vail…read moreVillage and Lionshead. The walking trails are easily accessible and only takes less then 5 minutes to get to either side. It is also convenient to the bus stop for those needing mobility assistance. Go to the Visit Vail website to grab special rates. We were able to secure their Oktoberfest special rates, which made it a decent value for Vail. Definitely recommend the upgrade to Mountain View Rooms as it is a beautiful area and more quiet than facing I-70. Also note that the resort fees are $35, per room, per night. Breakfast is included, though it's served continental style in the lobby rather than in the onsite restaurant or sport bar. Each room comes with a (clean) mini fridge, two complimentary bottled waters, a coffee pot (with **quality** ceramic mugs) a hair dryer, and travel-size toiletries. The downside of my room was that the shampoo and body lotion were previously used and hand towels not so clean (one had makeup and toothpaste on it). Another drawback was that daily maid service wasn't provided, not even a simple trash clearing, which would have been appreciated. Evergreen Lodge is an older property , built in the early '70s. We were told by staff that major renovations are planned for April 2026, so hopefully that makes a difference (for repeat visits) Also would like to give a #serviceshoutout to the front desk staff. They were really friendly, welcoming, and helpful throughout our stay. They do have select toiletries available at the front desk (toothpaste, toothbrush, shave cream) in case anyone like me forgets something essential.

Check in and out was easy, and it's walking distance into Vail Village. Parking is even included. Despite the room smelling kinda funny and Wi-Fi not working for most of my stay, it was cute overall and prices were reasonable and work budget friendly.
