SCOUT REVIEW
The Wren, Vail is a well-loved condominium property that blends homey comfort with easy mountain access. Located just east of Vail Village along Gore Creek, it offers guests a peaceful retreat that’s still close to the action. The Golden Peak base area — home to ski school and lifts — is within walking distance, or you can hop on the complimentary shuttle that runs frequently to both Vail Village and Lionshead.
Accommodation at The Wren consists entirely of privately owned condos, ranging from cozy studios to spacious two-bedroom units. Each has a fully equipped kitchen, fireplace, and private balcony or patio — ideal for longer ski stays or families wanting extra space. While décor varies by unit, most are warmly furnished in a mountain style, and several have been recently updated with modern finishes.
After a day on the slopes, guests can unwind in the outdoor heated pool or one of the hot tubs overlooking Vail Mountain. There’s also a communal lounge area and on-site laundry facilities, adding to the convenience. The atmosphere here is casual and friendly — more like staying at a friend’s mountain condo than a formal resort.
While The Wren lacks some of the luxury amenities of Vail’s high-end hotels, its combination of space, comfort, and value makes it a standout for those who prioritize easygoing charm and self-sufficiency.
Who should stay here
Ideal for families, groups, or couples seeking a relaxed, condo-style stay with easy access to the slopes and the amenities of Vail Village.

About Vail
If Aspen is Hollywood then Vail is Wall St - popular with the money-never-sleeps-but-it-does-wear-Bogner set. Attracting tens of thousands of visitors a year, it’s quite the place to be seen, and to ski! Luxury is standard at Vail, the pedestrian-friendly village weaves around the buildings and has a wonderful European-style feel to it. The mountain terrain (one of the largest in the world) boasts perfectly groomed corduroy, powder stashes galore, and pristine tree skiing. Team this up with endless accommodation options, easy access from Denver, and one of the best après scenes in North America, it's no surprise Vail is a favourite among local and international ski enthusiasts.
