I have be staying at the Racquet Club every year since 1990 and it's like home away when I visit in the winter and summer. The staff and the facilities are outstanding.
Think about it. Health Club, Tennis Courts, Outdoor Swimming Pool, Hot Tubs and right on the Gore Creek.
First visit scout around and find the best condo, then request that unit for your next visit. The staff will do their best to meet your requests.

We loved everything about the Vail Racquet Club. It was a perfect stay
1. The staff was wonderful. Everyone was kind and eager to help.
2. We took advantage of the athletic club that's on site. The pool is beautiful. A great place to hang out for the day of rest after an extensive hike or bike ride. We took a swim lesson (w/Joey) and participated in yoga class. Upon check-in we received a list of free classes for the week. We don't play tennis, but the courts looked beautiful.
3 It was quiet, six miles from the center of Vail. We prefer to cook simple meals in our unit, so we didn't need restaurants right outside our door. There are MANY restaurants in Vail and parking is free in the summer. This would not be a good place for anyone looking for nightlife out your front door. Although they weren't needed, there are listed quiet hours from 10pm-7am.
4. The location. It was perfect for us. The trailhead of one of our favorite 'warm up" hikes was less than two miles away. Leadville, The Collegiate Peaks, Breckenridge, Beaver Creek and Glennwood Springs are all within an hours drive.
5. Our unit was wonderful. It was a one-bedroom condo. Very comfortable and well equipped. Each room has a safe, so the earlier comments about theft should not be an issue. There is some road noise, but most places in Vail has some due to Interstate 70 being so close.

Our first choice appartment looked like out of a flee market collection place. But after we refused to stay there, we received a reasonable and nice appartment . There was no hesitation at all to give us a another place but it cost us an extra hour back and forth. So I guess if peolple take anything they are served, can try it first of all. The appartments are individually owned so they are equipped according to the owners taste, and that is OK. What is not OK is for a 4 star facility to have even one such appartment for rent!!.
The service was all in all very acceptable. Maybe look a bit more "smily" in the reception. They were helpful and the whole facility was very well kept and the cleanning crew in the appartements did an excellent job. Like in a hotel: beds done, towels changed, garbage removed daily. The firewood was plenty and very much on time when you needed more. The recreation facilities could use a corner to relax. Have a huge room with training equipement but not one couch to sit after a sauna or jacuzzi. The buses drive often enough that there is not too much waiting time, if you miss your bus. But have to keep in mind "rush hour times". Luckily the facility is at the beginning of the bus tour so from there you are sure to always get in.

We really enjoyed the room we stayed in, especially its lodgy, cozy qualities. All rooms are different and we got the perfect one. I called early and reserved the loft on the top floor. The stay itself was very nice and comfortable. The best way to describe the room is cozy. We didn't really use any of the facilities, so there is little I can say about that.
The only thing that we didn't like was the fact that since the room was on the fourth floor, and there were no elevators, it wasn't very fun bringing our things in. An elevator certainly wouldn't hurt. Other than that, we really enjoyed the stay.
