With designer furnishings, incredible decor and amazing kitchen, baths and beds, your stay at Highcliffe will be truly magical and cherished.
Enjoy a private acre of land with stunning Gore Range and Vail Valley Views, opulent perennial gardens (during Summer and Fall), handcrafted, log craftsmanship and magical Western and European decor. Five bedrooms sleep 12 adults comfortably. On-site indoor amenities include a state-of-the-art Western-mine-themed cinema with 8K Projector and Dolby ATMOS digital sound, ping pong, foosball and billiards tables, and steam shower. Outdoor amenities include hot tub, balconies and decks, a stunning private acre yard with huge stone patio, gigantic moss rock natural gas fire pit, Wolf BBQ, and Summer waterfall. The property is landscaped with stunning perennial gardens, aspen groves, ancient boulders, and an enchanting masonry stone switchback path up our Highcliffe Mountain abutting the National Park, leading to three dramatic stone belvederes with truly mind-blowing privacy and expansive Valley and Nature views.
Highcliffe has an ideal layout for 1-3 families, featuring three large private bedrooms with king and queen beds, with either additional day beds or lofts with twin beds. Two additional bedrooms easily accommodate 5 additional children (up to 7 if children share double bunks). Smaller groups of guests, including couples, feel luxuriated and cozy despite available bedrooms due to Highcliffe's creative floor plan. Bathrooms are mountain themed with quality towels and Molton Brown of London toiletries. Bedrooms feature luxury Shifman mattresses and top quality, professionally laundered and pressed bedding, 4K flat screen SONY TVs with Comcast/Xfinity premium TV service and internet streaming. Closets offer plenty of storage space. Bedrooms have large windows with magnificent open views, and are thematically furnished with Old Hickory furniture.
Location affords many nearby outdoor activities, including white water rafting, fishing and even swimming in adjacent Gore Creek, and outstanding hiking and biking trails for which East Vail is reknown. The property is very near the East Vail Racquet Club with outdoor tennis courts and heated pool, and indoor gym and coffee shop, available for a nominal daily fee.
For Winter Ski Guests we partner with an exceptional family-owned ski equipment rental/retailer with a convenient facility in Vail Village adjacent to Ski Lift Gondola One and our Solaris parking garage parking space. Our partner will store your rented (or owned) ski equipment at their slope side facility for a reasonable fee! Highcliffe also offers on-site ski boot and clothing warmers, and ski racks if you want to keep your equipment at the lodge.
Christmas and New Year Holiday guests celebrate the Holidays with festive fresh wreaths on doors, stockings by the fireplaces and a fabulous home-decorated fresh Christmas tree in the family room -- a Holiday Destination for cherished memories.
