The Arrabelle, Vail (Exclusive Resorts)

The perfect second homes in Vail

These 12 mountain residences overlook the Vail Valley and some, the Gore Range Mountains beyond. Ideally situated at the base of Vail's Eagle Bahn Gondola, these homes have ski-in/ski-out access. Meanwhile, buzzy Lionshead Village is just steps from your door.

There's plenty to do in and around the area during a stay in your luxury home in Vail, Colorado. Tee off at Red Sky Golf Club, a private course just 20 minutes away from your cabin.

In the winter, take a scenic sleigh ride or travel by snowcat to dine at the mountain-top restaurant, Beano's Cabin. Snowshoe or cross-country ski the trails at Beaver Creek's gorgeous McCoy Park. Or cycle the scenic Leadville Loop.

End the day with an invigorating massage at the RockResorts Spa at the Arabelle.

In the winter, Vail is known for its colossal, powder-filled back bowls and great mountain-top dining at restaurants such as Two Elk and The 10th. Come summer, hike, bike, or experience the scenery the way the cowboys did 100 years ago on a cattle drive. Throughout the year Vail plays host to events such as the Burton US Snowboarding Championships and the Bravo! Vail chamber music series.
