Vail’s Mountain Haus At the Covered Bridge

We have stayed at Mountain Haus twice over the past 4 months and love it. Great condos, tricked out, LQA platinum! Great location too. Steps away for the covered bridge and the village core. Our condo had 2 humidifiers. They are needed. We ran them both. Vail is incredibly dry! Great and warm staff too. They are so welcoming and pleasant. No stress here! We plan to return to Vail again and again, and to Vail’s Mountain Haus!

Amazing stay. While expensive, totally worth it, especially if you’re spending your time in the area.
We got a one-​bedroom and were upgraded to the mountain view, best unit ever. The unit included hammocks in the patio. At one point we spent about an hour in the most perfect weather just laying in the hammocks. It was amazing.
Service was phenomenal. I spent a few weeks making our reservation and making sure everything was ready, including a bottle of champagne, check-​in times/​check-​out times, activities to do there, booking in-​room massages, etc. Sunny and Kirk were my go-​tos and made sure things were executed flawlessly.
Make sure to take advantage of the shops and restaurants nearby. We used the hot tub, but there are also saunas and maybe steam rooms in the locker rooms.
Absolutely loved this place and would definitely come back for another visit.

I was pleasantly surprised with our 2 BR unit, 558 (1 king, 2 twins with trundles, pullout couch). Our condo was clean and don’t mind the lobby, as other reviewers made negative comments. We stayed for a lacrosse tournament in June (made the reservation in January) and although you get hit with a heat wave in the hallways, the cleaning staff keeps your patio door and windows cracked, so you get cool breezes.
I took other reviewers’ advice and booked a room that faced the mountain and it wasn’t noisy at night. I noticed another reviewer made a comment about being allergic to pets so I requested a unit that was not pet friendly and have not had an issue (I, too, am extremely sensitive).
Bonus points for cleaning the rooms daily (I assumed since it was a condo there would not be full service); laundromat in the basement, & soap/​fabric softener provided free of charge. Breakfast is also better than what you would expect (self serve waffle station, cereal, yogurt, bagels, etc).
Good location and friendly staff. Would come back.

We go to Vail often, and have stayed at many different properties over the years. We always knew the Mountain Haus was a great location, but had never been in. What a lovely surprise. We had a slight mix up with our reservation and the staff, was helpful and made it right. We had a great weekend there and are looking forward to staying there again. Great front desk staff! The breakfast was a nice addition. (Thanks for the Gluten Free Bread)

Good location, poor cleanliness and customer service. Had broken glass on the counter tops when we came in on which I almost cut my hand. In my opinion, that is unacceptable. In addition to that, the «newly renovated» unit was very noisy allowing all the street traffic and foot traffic noise to sound as if the windows were open (but we’re not), and we weren’t notified of an EARLY checkout, only discovering it when we called to ask for late check out. And upon raising these concerns of a noisy place that left broken glass laying around and was forcing us out early without notification, the customer service offered only to keep our bags while out (which is standard) and a 45 min checkout extension to our early checkout — which was still earlier than standard checkout of 11a, and use of their pool for the morning. If you’re looking for a relaxing and hassle free stay in Vail, choose another place.

The location of this place right by the covered bridge and bus stop can’t be beat. We walked to the slopes and had everything right at our fingertips.
The accommodations are pricey, but what isn’t in Vail? The service was great, the folks at the front desk were super friendly, nice & helpful. If we needed something, we got it. The interior wasn’t brand new or anything but that doesn’t bother me since we were there to spend the majority of our time outside not in the hotel. The bathrooms looked brand new which was nice.
Mountain Haus had what we needed, when we needed it and a great location. I was able to find a deal online through
and given the cost of the other places to stay, this ended up being the best deal around.

Fantastic place — we stayed the weekend of Labor Day for the Gourmet on Gore and received great service (actually, 5-​star service, honestly — they went to the grocery store to get us whole milk for the kiddo when all they had was 2% — when all we did was ask if it was available!). Location was absolutely perfect for Gourmet on Gore — right at the entrance of the farmer’s market!
The room was very nice and clean. All units are individually owned, so not sure on the quality of all units, but ours was tastefully updated and certainly sufficient for us. Pricing was unreal for Labor Day weekend/​Vail ($ 250/​night — reserved two days in advance).
Really recommend Mountainhaus if you can swing it and catch the deals.

Stayed over the Xmas 2009 Holidays and all was great in the 2 different rooms that I stayed in. They stood by the same 1^st rate that I got as the the second room that I got was because of my extended stay.
One of the best locations and all laid out for You. Stroll to the village and bus stops.
Got a great deal when I booked on Xmas eve thru
.
Rooms are nice and the adjoining bar is great.

considering the rate ($ 475/​night), the two bedroom /​two bath mountainside condo we rented was a killer deal … but … when you book a trip to vail the first weekend of december you’re taking a big risk on if there’s gonna be any snow to ski/​board on … so … the price was about right (we got lucky and it dumped 14 inches the day we arrived and a fair amount of the front-​side runs were open).
if we would have stayed during the high season ($ 945/​night) or the holiday season ($ 1200/​night) i would have been really pissed off w/​the accommodations. the property was probably built in the 1970’s … and it looks it. the kitchen and bathrooms in our unit had been updated sometime in the last decade, but overall the place looked worn out. at a four-​star property (or so they claim) i wouldn’t expect: multiple extension cords running along the living room floor to power the entertainment system, the exhaust grill in the bathroom held in place w/​strips of duct tape, a shitty paint job (doorknobs/​hardware painted over and splatters/​drips all over the cabinets), broken lamps, mismatched curtains, crappy old carpeting and semi-​crappy old furniture).
+es:
location … right in the middle of the village
helpful/​friendly staff (day shift)
‘the george’ bar on the first floor w/​good prices and an unpretentious crowd
–es:
place looks old and dated (except the updated lobby, and our kitchen/​bathrooms)
unhelpful/​unfriendly staff (night shift)
no parking or valet (you have to park in the public lot across the street for $ 20/​day)
