The perfect second home in Colorado

With towering pines providing the perfect backdrop for a variety of wildlife you'll see roaming about from time to time, these two four and five bedroom pieces of luxury real estate in Vail boast breathtaking views of the creek from which the resort is named.

In the winter, take a scenic sleigh ride or travel by snowcat to dine at the mountain-top restaurant, Beano's Cabin, and snowshoe or cross-country ski the trails at Beaver Creek's gorgeous McCoy Park. When the snow melts, head up the mountain for a hike or tackle the trails by bike.

These luxury second homes in Colorado exude a rustic elegance and boast indulgences, like a hot tub, gourmet kitchen, spacious living areas and a fieldstone fireplace. With easy access to Beaver Creek Village and the ski slopes, these mountain retreats allow you to enjoy the surrounding activities at your convenience.
