Lift House Lodge
About
Lift House Lodge is a small building of studio condos on East Lionshead Circle, one block from the Eagle Bahn Gondola and the Born Free Express lift. It suits couples, solo skiers and small families who would rather be close to the lifts than pay for hotel extras, and it is one of the few Lionshead addresses that takes dogs.
The studios are individually owned and rented through Vail Management Company, so furnishings vary from one to the next, but the layout is the same idea throughout: one room with a sitting area, a kitchenette, a bathroom and a private balcony.
Location and lifts
The gondola is a one-block walk from the front door, which is close but not ski-in/ski-out. The shops and restaurants of Lionshead Village are a few minutes away on foot, and the free Town of Vail bus runs to Vail Village, so a car is optional once you arrive.
The studios
A typical studio sleeps four on a king bed and a queen sofa sleeper, with one bathroom and a gas fireplace that runs in winter. The kitchenette covers breakfast and simple dinners rather than a big cook. There is no air conditioning, so summer evenings mean opening the balcony door to the mountain air.
In the building
The fourth-floor rooftop hot tub is the place to be after a ski day, with views toward the mountain. An elevator serves every floor, and there is a coin-operated laundry and free Wi-Fi. Lionshead Jewelers shares the building's address.
Before you book
There is no on-site guest parking, so plan on the paid Lionshead Parking Structure nearby, or leave the car at home. Dogs are welcome, up to two per reservation, for a nightly fee. The front desk keeps daytime hours, and late arrivals are sent entry instructions ahead of time. The FAQ below has the details.
