Rentalo Offers Ski Vacation Rentals Starting at $140 Per Night
Though a short-sleeved fall makes it hard to believe, ski season will soon be upon us. This is the time, therefore, to book a vacation rental apartment or chalet in a dozen or so popular ski resorts. The leading travel lodging and vacation rental web site, http://rentalo.com, makes it easy to find the perfect vacation rental, from the Killington condo that sleeps eight for $140 a night, to the Steamboat Springs “cottage” that sleeps 16 for $950 a night.
Killington, VT This deluxe slopeside condo on Pico Mountain—one of the Killington ski areas—has all the comforts of home (a fully-equipped kitchen) and then some (a marble fireplace). With three bedrooms and two bathrooms, the first-floor apartment sleeps eight and children are welcome. The whole family can ski directly from the condo to the slopes and then ski home again for lunch, a great convenience and money-saver. Horseback riding, snow shoeing, snowmobiling and cross-country skiing are all nearby, as are the Killington area restaurants and nightlife. Rates are $140 nightly or $545 weekly.
Steamboat Springs, CO Gather all your family, friends and all their kids when you head to this ski resort. Bear Berry Cottage, a large fairytale “cottage” on Steamboat Springs Mountain has five bedrooms and five-and-a-half baths and sleeps as many as 16 guests. Living room windows that soar 30 feet high offer fantastic views of the snow-covered ski slopes and valley. This vacation rental house has a library/office with a HP printer, a 9-foot projection screen, five fireplaces and an eight-person Jacuzzi hot tub. A big, well-equipped kitchen provides room for three chefs. The nightly price is $950 but, divided by 16, that comes down to $60 per person for a lot of space and luxury.
Mammoth Lakes, CA Silver Bear Slopeside Condo, an attractive town house on the ridge facing the Sherwin Mountain range, sleeps eight. The living room features a big, beautiful stone fireplace, plasma TV, VCR and DVD player, and comfortable mountain décor. The dining room seats six for cozy après ski dinners and the kitchen is state-of-the-art with stainless steel appliances and granite counter tops. Two bedrooms have queen-sized beds; the third is a kids’ bunk room. The conveniently located vacation rental is just 150 yards from the chairlift at Eagle Lodge. Daily housekeeping is included in the price of $468 per night (or $725 over the Christmas/New Year holidays).
Vail, CO Vantage Point Condo, a luxury Lionshead two-bedroom, two bath apartment, has a sensational view of the ski slopes. It’s only 200 feet or so from the Eagle Bahn gondola and the Born Free Express Quad Chairlift. A free shuttle to Vail and Beaver Creek makes restaurants, shops and the area’s lively nightlife accessible without having to drive. An ice rink and the good restaurants in Lionshead are even closer. There are two outdoor hot tubes and the condo offers its own relaxing sauna. It’s $350 a night, with a minimum of five nights, from February 23 to March 8.
