Lift House 314, Studio Condo in Vail Lionshead Village
Guest rating: 4.7 / 5
Overview
Lift House 314 is a studio condo inside the Lift House Lodge in the heart of Vail's Lionshead Village, offering near ski-in/ski-out convenience just one block from the Eagle Bahn Gondola and Vail Ski School. The unit pairs breathtaking Vail Mountain views with a compact, well-designed layout, making it a cozy mountain base for travelers who want to be steps from the slopes without sacrificing village access. The building sits above Vail Ski Tech, Montauk Seafood Grill, and Bart and Yetis, putting dining and gear rental right at the door.
Rooms
The studio sleeps guests comfortably with a queen bed plus a queen sofa sleeper in the living area, alongside a full bathroom. A private balcony delivers mountain views and doubles as natural cooling since the unit has no air conditioning. A gas fireplace (winter only) adds warmth and ambiance after a day outdoors.
Kitchen & Amenities
The kitchenette includes a half-size refrigerator, stovetop/oven, microwave, and coffee maker, suited to light cooking and snacks rather than full meal prep. In-unit conveniences include cable TV, free Wi-Fi, an ironing board, and heating, while the building offers elevator access to all floors, coin-operated laundry (washer noted in-unit), and professional housekeeping.
On-Site Recreation
The standout shared amenity is the fourth-floor rooftop hot tub, a guest favorite for soaking under open skies after skiing or summer mountain activities. The property is smoke-free and kid-friendly, and 24/7 on-call maintenance backs up an easy self check-in process.
Location & Surroundings
Lionshead Village places guests within a very short walk of multiple bus stations (Lionshead Village - Eastbound at 119m, West Lionshead Plaza at 158m, and others within 260m), plus an array of dining choices including Vail Blue Moose Pizza (57m), Tavern On The Square (93m), and Vail Chophouse (96m), with more restaurants like Alpenrose Vail, Vintage Brasserie, Bully Ranch Restaurant, and Sweet Basil within roughly a kilometer. Eagle County Regional Airport is about 45km away and Aspen/Pitkin County Airport about 62km away for those flying in.
Best for
This studio suits ski-focused travelers, couples, or small families who want near ski-in/ski-out access, since it's one block from the Eagle Bahn Gondola and Vail Ski School and includes an on-site rooftop hot tub for post-ski recovery. It also works well for guests without a car, given free parking limitations aside, the wealth of restaurants and bus stations within a two-minute walk make village life fully walkable.
Travel tips
Parking at the building is limited, first-come first-served, and costs $50/night in winter or $30/night in non-winter months, so guests without a reserved spot should plan on the nearby Lionshead public parking garage. Several bus stops sit within 250 meters of the building, making it easy to reach other parts of Vail without driving. Because there's no air conditioning, request a lower floor or rely on the balcony and Vail's high-altitude cooler air during warmer summer days.
What guests say
Guests consistently praise the property's cleanliness and its convenient, easily walkable location near the ski lift. The rooftop hot tub is repeatedly called out as a highlight of the stay. Reviewers note the kitchenette has basic supplies suitable for light cooking rather than full meal preparation, and overall sentiment across the reviews is strongly positive with no recurring complaints mentioned.
