About

Your perfect mountain retreat in Potato Patch is perched on a hillside in a scenic and exclusive area in Vail located directly across the valley from Vail Mountain and Vail Village.  This highly sought after neighborhood is highlighted by year-round sun and spectacular mountain views.  The spacious living room entices you to sit fireside while taking in sweeping vistas of slopes framed in the windows.  The large and lovely kitchen has a great bar area that opens to the main dining and then flows into the living room, ideal for the gathering of family and friends.  

Situated only minutes away from the slopes, this extremely spacious and open flow 3 bedroom end-unit is the perfect home base for your ski getaway.  Only 2 minutes from Vail Village, with huge all en-suite bedrooms, a coveted attached 2-car garage, and a large mudroom and storage closet that provides all the space you need for your year-round seasonal gear and equipment. 

Wake up with Vail’s ski slopes beckoning you from the spacious master bedroom suite that sits privately on its own level.  Enjoy coffee or breakfast from your deck with the same epic ski slope views.  The private deck is perfect for gathering as it has a separate entrance accessible from the common area hallway.  It is also wired and ready to add a hot tub to soak your muscles while overlooking Vail Mountain. 

This is one of the closest residences near the entrance to Piney Ranch Road and National Forest (3/10’s of a mile) and is ideal for accessing snowmobiling, cross country skiing, and snowshoeing in the winter to expand your winter activities beyond Vail Mountain.  For summertime excursions, it is only 11 miles to Piney River Ranch for the best of camping, hiking, paddle boarding, fishing, canoeing, and horseback riding.  This is what a Colorado mountain retreat is all about!  The best of all worlds, ideal access to the amenities of Vail Village combined with the perfect access to one of the best locations that allows a wide variety of activities in the White River National Forest. 

Unit #4 is also a dog lover's dream as it is a great location within the complex to conveniently let the dog out from the lower patio with a swing door in the railing that gives easy access to a spacious grassy area.  It is also one of the closest locations to the large community grass open space that has a great hang out area with seating.  When you want to really make your pet happy, you are 3/10’s of a mile from the road to Piney and National Forest for miles of dog walking space.
