Journey back through time and experience all that was good, familiar, comfortably sweet and endearing about country living. Forest Road 385 is a glowing example of a French Country Homestead and one of the first of its kind built in the Vail Valley. This stylish abode boasts an exemplary mix of rustic and refined, vintage and sophisticated. It exhibits a comfortable casual elegance that is never ostentatious, but feels authentically homespun. Whites brighten the decor. Quilts, drapes and even shower curtains seem ‘hand made and handed down’. But there’s nothing lacking in terms of modern convenience and everything has a bright, clean and airy quality about it. Bird pictures and black and white photos of forested landscapes create an atmosphere of naturalism that is distinguishing. The definition of antique is having value because of its aesthetic or historical significance. An antique treasure that isn’t antiquated, Forest Road 385 is the perfect country ‘home away from home’ in the heart of Vail.
Here is your chance to sleep comfortably in a historical landmark! This wonderful 4 bed, 3 bath single family home on Forest Road is a quick, scenic three minute walk to the fine ski slopes. Much of the fashionable furnishings and appliances are new. Off the back deck is a gorgeous forested area with a babbling brook, and the home is an approximately 8 minute walk to Vail Village. Overall, this iconic masterpiece is a wonderful value for those looking to be in the midst of all the action!
We are living in a time of monumental change. What is truly essential has been newly re-defined for each of us. Time is now more precious than ever. We value your time and how you choose to spend it. So, why not make your ‘time-away’ really count? No time like the present. No place like here.

We stayed six nights to ski at Vail. The house is comfortable, well furnished, and a close walk to the ski slopes. We enjoyed the comfortable living room, kitchen and large dining table. Outstanding overall.

Review by Matt S.
The property worked perfectly for your week stay in Vail. It met all the requirements with enough bedrooms and bathrooms for our crew. The kitchen was well equipped. It was a short walk down the hill to the Vail Village.
Location!! Ski in and ski out

Review by Jean P.
Location location location!! Walk to end of road to ski down to catch chair lift. Walk to Vail Village and Lionshead Village. Plenty of room for entertaining. The “bedroom “ on main floor is setup like a separate studio apartment with 2 twin against wall. Toe to toe. Bathroom on main level is through that room. Downstairs are the other three bedrooms and 2 bathrooms. The King master was roomy and also had a door to outside. The hall bath didn’t work for our stay. Which made things awkward for the tother wo bedroom occupants as they had to come into someone’s bedroom to use facilities. We were reimbursed for 1 night by Vacasa for this inconvenience. While this “historical” home needs some upgrading, it definitely was a great deal. And again the location!! If bathroom was working, we would have had a perfect stay and would go back.

Vail ski house

Review by Seth Z.
Great location; walk 100 yds to slope. Kitchen was fully equipped, new appliances. Bathrooms a bit dated, but fully functional, lots of hot water (everyone can shower right off the slopes). Be sure to get a 4WD vehicle; driveway is steep, and could be tough to get out if it's snowy or icy. More than met our needs & expectations.
Great house and location!

Loved the house and location. The house was authentic amongst the huge mansions, which we enjoyed. The house was also clean and welcoming. Thanks for a great stay!!
A dated gem tucked in an amazing area.

It is dated with many off limit closets. It’s functional. This is perfect for a family. There are plenty of sleeping options. The location ON the mountain is ideal. We’d definitly stay here again.
Fantastic location - Walk to the Villages!

Review by Megan T.
We loved our stay. The house was great for our group of 8 - spacious, clean, well-maintained home. Everything was seamless from booking to checkout. LOVED the location - easy and pretty walk to both Vail Village and Lionshead and nestled in the woods. Felt secluded but so close to the action. Would definitely return.
Great experience!!

A very nice place, with a fantastic location. I love to cook and this was the best equipped kitchen I have in all rented houses. Great experience.

Review by Jay W.
This space was fantastic for our group of 7 (5 adults, 2 children). Comfortable beds with good storage in each room. Lovely living area with attractive fireplace and gas fire to warm us up after each day's skiing. Bathrooms and kitchen were clean. Kitchen was sufficiently equipped for cooking dinner each evening over 6 days and a spacious dining area. Location for the ski runs was perfect - an easy 3-minute walk to the slope and an easy, short run down to the chairlifts and ticket booths.
Great place! Would definitely stay here again.

Review by Robert S.
Really enjoyed the unit. Great common spaces, very comfortable, ski-in / ski-out (with a short walk), spa access was clutch! Comfortably sleeps 9 (3 queens, 3 singles). Only downsides were 1) not in town, so need to drive if you want to go to dinner, and 2) finishes are a bit dated. But for what our group wanted, this place was perfect! Would definitely book again.
This unit was great

Review by Robert S.
This unit was great for me and my group of 6 people. The house is in a great location, surrounded by other absurd, multi-million dollar homes. But since this one is still the original unit from the 60s / 70s, it is a bit cheaper (finishes are a bit dated), but perfectly placed and very comfortable for our group. Could have comfortable slept 9. The access to the Aria Spa was amazing - really nice facility with steam, hot tub, pool and showers. A 10 minute drive from the condo, FYI. Ski in, Ski out was incredible! Would definitely book this place again next time I go to Vail with a group.
Excellent location

Review by Stephanie K.
Excellent location - right off the Eagle Bahn gondola / Born Free lift - 3 minute walk to piste and Lions Head village, and less than 10 minute walk to Vail village. House is roomy, yet cosy with plenty of space for the 8 of us, and well appointed with all kitchen necessities for us when cooking breakfast. Generous sleeping arrangements, toiletries and fresh linen/towels. Would definitely stay again - also great value given the MLK long weekend!
Cozy, comfortable and convenient

Great location for skiers; walk past 3 houses and you're on the slopes. Very clean and comfortable house. It was a great place for our family Christmas.
What a peaceful, low-key place - great location!

Review by Kay D.
This is an old mountain house with all the charm that implies, supported by good upkeep and modernization where appropriate. It's nothing fancy but the feeling it exudes of being settled and secure is wonderful.
July 2017 stay!
