Great location in the heart of lionshead and steps from the gondola. Property however outdated and with low maintenance; Bathroom really old and in bad condition. Front desk crew were friendly but not helpful. I would not recommend room 305 due to its really old condition.

Location, location, location

Location was outstanding. Five minute walk to gondola. All of downtown Vail was within walking distance, which includes excellent restaurants and shops. Our studio was large enough for 3 adults. We ate breakfasts and lunches in. Kitchenette was surprisingly well stocked for the size it was. Lots of closet, drawer, and hook space for all our clothes, wet and dry. Balcony was perfect for wet skis and boots and clothes.

Great location!

Loved my stay there. Room was nicely laid out and cozy. The gas fireplace was so nice at the end of the day. The location in Lionshead Village was great. Close to the lifts, restaurants, shops......an easy walk to all. It is also close to the bus that takes you to Vail Village. Hoping to return some day.

This was an amazing location at a great price! You are right in the heart of Lionshead Village and can walk directly out into the village from the condos. The building itself is a bit dated but the unit was very clean and had everything we needed for a comfortable stay. Love that it’s pet friendly as my sister and I had our little fur babies traveling with us. There’s a kitchenette with a microwave small fridge and freezer and stove top so you can make breakfast or something stove top for lunch or dinner. The walk to vail village was about 10-15 minutes and there are buses that run for free if you do not feel like walking. The staff was also so friendly and helpful. I never met them because I checked out after 5 but they were very informative of how to obtain the room key and they answered all of my questions every time I called. Definitely recommend Lift House Lodge if you want the Village experience at a great value.

Nice place

Comment: the front desk is only there till 5 pm. We had a late dinner and when came back, the card reader didn’t work. Now imagine staying in cold vail and cannot get in. Called the emergency number and the lady wasn’t helpful and asking bunch of nonsense questions including the hotel address and name. We were lucky that one other guest let us in.
Overall: good place to stay. Beautiful view from the balcony and you can have your pup with yourself

Retro, but clean and amazing location

The location in Lionshead was second to none. Walk 20 metres and your at the ice skating rink, another 20 and your at the Eagle Bahn Gondola.

The room is very retro - looking like the furniture, fixtures and fittings had been there since 1990's - but in saying that the maintenance and cleanliness is excellent.

So if your willing to trade not having modern for great location and a mini kitchen to cook in, then the lift house is perfect.

Ski Vacation

The person at the desk upon our arrival was not very friendly and when there was a problem with one of our room keys she was very unhelpful in correcting the problem until another staff member pointed out an easy solution.
Rooms were clean but dark feeling--it is time to change the old coiled fluorescent bulbs to LED's and brighten things up a bit.
Beds were comfortable, but rooms need some updating.
The carpet around the hot tub was gross and moldy smelling and certainly did not make going into the hot tub inviting.
The location for the price was unbeatable and I highly recommend renting ski equipment from SkiBase just up the street on the right--great prices and service.
Also the Market at Vail just across from the parking garage in Lionshead has all you could need for to stock up on along with an attached liquor store.
We lucked out with great snow and weather and had a great time

Disappointing

The property left us to fend for ourselves to dig our car out of their uncovered, un-maintained parking lot (for which they charged Big City rates). We had to pay a large sum to a tow service. Completely ridiculous and unacceptable.
The room was heated with electric heat, which clicked and clacked all night long, making it very hard to sleep.
The bed was tiny. The linens were not soft. There wasn't so much as a down comforter.
Other than the location -- which was indeed convenient -- the condo was very disappointing. We would never come back to this property, and would never recommend it to anyone.

A wonderfully convenient and comfortable hotel

We are pleasantly surprised on how close that this hotel is from the gondola! It is closer than the parking lot I mistakenly parked the car and paid. The hotel clerk lady was very nice to give me a day off from the parking fee. It is a studio which is very quiet and convenient! We did not use the house cleaning because there is no need. The spa hot tube in the first floor is great!

Solid old school stay

Been coming to Vail all my life. The location is equal to the new class A hotels and condos. Dated for sure, but not absurdly. Great getaway with your significant other. If you experienced Vail in the 80s it truly brings you back to such an innocent time in what was old school Lionshead while surrounded by all the modern amenities. The parking is the best in Lionshead. Perfect value choice for those wanting a great location without having to break the bank. I will be going back without hesitation.

Quaint little lodge!

The Lift House Lodge was a very cute little place to stay! The town of Vail is adorable, especially in the newly renovated sector of Lionshead Village. We truly enjoyed our stay there - it was very clean, with comfortable amenities inside. The view from the back patio was great - you can see the Lionshead Village square. Our only complaints was that their parking lot was full, so we had to walk across the street and park in the garage for $5 more - which is our fault because we checked in late. But they were great about the late check-in and left a personalized envelope for us with very detailed directions on how to get in! We also didn't like how creaky the bed was - just turning over caused a loud squeak each time, so we did keep waking up in the middle of the night. But the bed itself is comfortable, the room is spacious and we love the quaint little cottage feel that it has. Thank you for a great stay.

Location can't be beat. Parking just by the place. Staff was incredibly nice, especially Pilar. Steps from slopes, ice skating, Blue Moose pizza, Garfinkles, etc..Spent some time in the hot tub gazing at the interesting mural. Kitchenette worked great for a quick bagel breakfast before we hit the slopes. Our son slept on the pull out couch and was fine, although he's 15 and can sleep anywhere. If you need luxury this isn't the place for you but for a place to bunk for the night it was great.
