About

Vail Run Resort is a condominium resort on Lions Ridge Loop, on the north side of the valley above the Lionshead end of town, built more than 45 years ago as part of a larger ski resort. Every unit has its own entrance and a full kitchen, from studios for two up to penthouses with lofts and a gas fireplace.

It suits skiers and families who would rather cook, spread out and pay less than they would in the villages, and who do not mind a ride to the lifts. The resort says it was designed for groups sharing a unit, and that is still the best way to use it.

Units

There are five unit types: studio, studio loft, one-bedroom, two-bedroom and penthouse. Studios and lofts have a separate sleeping area and a kitchen with stovetop, dishwasher and refrigerator; the two-bedroom sleeps up to six with mountain views. Each penthouse is laid out differently, with a king bedroom on the main floor, curtained sleeping areas in the loft, at least two bathrooms and a balcony facing the ski area. Photos show the unit type, not necessarily your unit.

Location

Lions Ridge Loop sits across Interstate 70 from Lionshead, so the lifts are a ride rather than a walk, and the villages' restaurants and shops are the same. In exchange you get a quieter hillside away from the village crowds, and some units, including the penthouses, look across to the ski area. Ask the resort how guests get to the gondolas in the season you are travelling.

Before you book

Reservations are made through the resort's own booking engine or by email. The resort gives no refunds for cancelled or delayed trips within the guaranteed reservation period and recommends travel insurance, which it offers through Vacation Guard. The FAQ below covers what we could confirm.

In the building

Local Joe's Pizza & Delivery operates in Suite 2A of the Vail Run building, an independently run pizza place with beer, darts and games on TV, open late. It is the easiest dinner for guests who do not want to head back into the villages: eat in, take out, or order delivery in the evening.

Frequently Asked Questions

Is Vail Run Resort a timeshare?
Yes. Vail Run Resort is a timeshare condominium resort, not a conventional hotel. Its units are deeded condominiums governed by the Vail Run Community Association, and the association also rents units nightly to non-owners, which is how most guests book. Exchange guests also stay here through RCI (the Armed Forces Vacation Club lists it as Property ID 0005).
What do reviews say about Vail Run Resort?
Vail Run Resort is well reviewed for a value condo resort. On Tripadvisor it holds 4.0 out of 5 from 181 reviews and ranks #9 of 40 specialty lodging properties in Vail (as of October 2026). Guests praise the spacious units, full kitchens, and pool area, and most often criticize paid parking, dated furnishings in some units, and highway noise in units facing I-70.
Is there a shuttle from Vail Run Resort to the gondolas?
Yes, in winter. The resort runs a free shuttle in the winter season to the gondolas, Vail Village, and Lionshead (about half a mile to the Eagle Bahn Gondola). Year-round, the free Town of Vail bus stops directly outside the property. The resort is not ski-in/ski-out; it sits across Interstate 70 from the ski area.
Does Vail Run Resort have a pool, hot tub, or sauna?
Yes. The resort has a heated outdoor swimming pool, a hot tub, and a sauna, plus a gym with weights and cardio equipment and a game room.
What types of units does Vail Run Resort have, and how many people do they sleep?
Five types: studio, studio loft, one-bedroom, two-bedroom, and penthouse. Every unit has a private entrance and a full kitchen. The two-bedroom sleeps up to six, and the largest penthouses sleep up to ten. Penthouses have at least two bathrooms, a loft, a gas fireplace, and a balcony facing the ski area. Photos show the unit type, not necessarily your assigned unit.
Does Vail Run Resort offer parking, and what does it cost?
Yes, paid. There is heated underground garage parking and outdoor parking, both limited and priced per space: on the resort's current exchange-channel schedule, garage parking is $30 per night and outdoor parking is $20 per night, plus tax, with weekly rates available. There is no RV parking. Confirm the current rate when you book, because the schedule has changed in recent years.
What are the check-in and check-out times at Vail Run Resort?
Check-in starts at 4:00 PM and check-out is by 11:00 AM. The front desk is part-time, not 24-hour, so late arrivals should contact the resort ahead for the self check-in and key instructions.
Are pets allowed at Vail Run Resort?
No. Pets are not allowed. Contact the resort directly about its service animal policy before booking.
Can you rent a unit, or buy a timeshare, at Vail Run Resort?
Both. Nightly and weekly rentals are booked through the resort's own site, vailrunresort.com, by email at [email protected], or at (970) 476-1500, and through the usual booking platforms. Timeshare weeks also come up for resale, but transfers run through the Vail Run Community Association, which requires its estoppel and approval process before a transfer is recognized; ownership inquiries belong to the association, through the owner's side of the official site.
Does Vail Run Resort serve breakfast?
No. There is no breakfast service. Every unit has a full kitchen, the lounge offers complimentary coffee, hot chocolate, and tea in the morning, and Local Joe's Pizza & Delivery, an independent restaurant in Suite 2A of the building, covers lunch and dinner in the building.
