About

Vail Racquet Club Mountain Resort spreads across 22 acres in East Vail, beside Gore Creek and across the valley from the Vail Chutes. It is a condo resort built around a private athletic club: guests who book through the resort get free use of a 6,000-square-foot club with a 25-meter outdoor pool open all year, plus seven tennis courts and three pickleball courts in season.

It suits active families, sports groups and anyone staying a week or longer who would trade a village address for space, free parking and a quieter neighborhood. The lifts are a free bus ride away rather than a walk, and there is no elevator, so it is less suited to guests who need step-free access.

Condos and townhomes

One-, two- and three-bedroom condos and three-level, three-bedroom townhomes all have private entrances, full kitchens, a fireplace and a patio or balcony. Condos sit in three-level buildings reached by stair towers. There is no air conditioning; at this altitude open windows usually do the job. Stays of six months or more are offered too.

The athletic club

The club has Technogym and Peloton equipment, TRX, free weights and free fitness, spin, yoga and Pilates classes. Three hot tubs, one by the pool facing the mountains and two quieter ones inside, sit alongside saunas and steam rooms in the locker rooms. Seven tennis courts, three of them clay, and three pickleball courts are open from about May to October, with lessons, clinics and junior camps. Massage is available by appointment.

Getting around

The resort does not run its own shuttle, but two stops of the free Town of Vail bus are on the property, and the ride to the Vail Transportation Center at Bridge Street takes about 15 to 20 minutes. From the resort, East Vail's hiking trails, ice-climbing falls and the Vail Nordic Center are close by.

Families and groups

There is a playground beside the BBQ patio, Bighorn Park with a pond is a quarter mile away, children stay at no added fee and pack-n-plays are free. Groups of five or more units get discounted rates, and the resort serves as lodging for weddings, reunions and sports teams, though it does not host ceremonies. Parking, payment terms and the no-pets rule are in the FAQ.

On site at the resort

Après Cafe is East Vail's only restaurant and bar, on the resort grounds. It serves salads, sandwiches, entrées and handmade pizzas over two levels with fireside seating for about 100, and is open to the public as well as resort guests. It is privately and independently run and seasonal, open from early December through April and late May through October; call (970) 688-5437 for hours and reservations.

Mountain Shoppe is the resort's on-site shop for fitness apparel, swimwear, gifts and outdoor essentials, with brands such as Patagonia, Prana and Carve Designs, handy for a forgotten swimsuit on the way to the pool.

Shorter still, outside guests can use the club for a $35 per person day fee. Guests who book their stay through the resort use the club free.
Can you buy a condo at Vail Racquet Club?
The condos and townhomes at Vail Racquet Club are individually owned, which is why units vary in decor and layout. Residences do come up for sale through Vail Valley real-estate brokers, and owners have their own homeowner operation; the resort itself sells stays, not units. Ownership questions belong with a listing broker or the homeowner association, while rentals are booked through the resort.
Do guests get free access to the athletic club and gym?
Yes, when you book through the resort. Access covers the 6,000-square-foot club (Technogym and Peloton equipment, free weights, TRX), complimentary fitness, spin, yoga and Pilates classes, the year-round heated pool, three hot tubs, and the locker-room saunas and steam rooms. The club and front desk are open 6 AM to 9 PM. Outside guests pay $35 per person per day.
How do tennis and pickleball work at Vail Racquet Club?
The resort has seven USTA-approved tennis courts (four hard, three clay/Har-Tru) plus a practice wall, and three outdoor pickleball courts, open seasonally from about May to October. Resort guests reserve free court time through the front desk up to 24 hours ahead (club members book 48 hours ahead in the VRC app). Racquets and paddles rent at the desk, the ball machine is $10, and lessons, clinics and junior camps run in season.
Is the pool open year-round?
Yes. The 25-meter, 5-lane outdoor lap pool is heated and open year-round, with mountain views. Three hot tubs sit alongside it, one by the pool and two quieter ones inside the clubhouse, plus saunas and steam rooms in the locker rooms.
How do you get to the lifts and Vail Village? Is there a shuttle?
By the free Town of Vail bus, which has two stops on the property; the ride to the Vail Transportation Center at Bridge Street takes about 15 to 20 minutes. The resort does not run its own village or airport shuttle, and it is not ski-in/ski-out. The property is in East Vail, about 4.5 miles east of the village center.
Can you rent long-term at Vail Racquet Club?
