Bighorn by AvantStay | Spacious Ski Cabin w/ Sprawling Porch, Views & Hot Tub!
Welcome to Bighorn, an AvantStay home!
Tucked away in the trees, this private mountain home provides seclusion in an idyllic, natural setting. The home’s interior is bright and contemporary with soaring vaulted ceilings, spacious rooms, and plush furnishings. An open floor plan, floor-to-ceiling windows, and two private units downstairs, both of which have kitchenettes, mean your group will have ample space to spread out. Whether you’re unwinding after a day of hiking or skiing, your crew can indulge in cocktails by the fireplace or gaze at the stars from the newly added hot tub.
Home to the country’s largest and arguably most beloved ski resort, Vail sits at the heart of the Rocky Mountains, delighting travelers with its unbeatable, panoramic views. In the winter, it’s no surprise that skiing is the top attraction as 5,289 acres of fresh powder provides a thrill for both beginners and pros to enjoy. The town’s ideal summer climate lends itself to fantastic hiking, outdoor sports, and fields of lush flowers to admire. With access to gourmet restaurants, boutique shops, and year-round activity, Vail’s visitors will find something exciting at every turn

This was the absolute perfect place to stay for our group of 12. We were all in town for my daughter’s very rustic wedding being held in Minturn. This house was the perfect home base. Extremely well stocked- very clean - great views and neighborhood. Check in was very easy and we all loved our stay and felt very at home and comfortable in this house. Would definitely stay again if we were in the area.
The house was perfect for our group of 10 people. Spacious bedrooms and living area, and the kitchen was well stocked. The East Vail bus stop just a couple blocks away was so convenient for getting to the mountain. Highly recommend!
Excellent location and house is very cozy. Didn’t realize the house is so big and xan accomodate a large party. House was very clean and well maintained. Must stay!
We had a wonderful stay at the house which was really convenient to Vail Ski Area & Restaurants. We had 5 teens, 4 adults and 2 dogs. Everyone had a bed with plenty of room. Thanks for a great Spring break.
We had a wonderful time !! Kitchen was fully stocked and had plenty of soap / detergent / paper towel ect …. Beautifully located . Hot tub worked great ! All in all a super great experience!
Customer service was quick and efficient. Would deff rent again !!
Very Nice property in East Vail, about 10-15 minute drive to Golden Peak base, or a bit longer on free town shuttle-bus. This older home easily accomodated our family ski trip with 8 adults, 1 toddler, 1 infant and 2 well behaved/trained dogs. Although some TLC is needed in areas (eg worn stair carpet and floor tile issues in kitchen and baths), the roomy living area & kitchen were comfortable for the entire family. The deck's hot tub and fire-pit are only accessible through either of the two adjacent bedrooms. Two other bedrooms are on the first level. T hot tub needed service call due to leaking. Overall, we had an enjoyable weekend!
The accomodations were just what we needed. It really is a great set up with 2 seperate apartment style rooms with their own kitchenette and bathrooms on the ground floor, the 2 larger bedrooms w/ en suite on the main floor and the 2 queen room upstairs.
We had to do some extra cleaning in the apartments (AvantStay was awesome and quick in their communications with us).
They layout was really great for us. If I had to be picky - new couches would be a welcome addition. Also, the stairs to the 3rd floor are very steep. Nothing young adults can't handle but a little suspect for the aging population.
All in all this was a great vacation. Thank you AvantStay, you were great to work with. Hope to be back soon!!!

House Needs Upgrades to Justify Price
Unfortunately this house did not meet our expectations: it needs some major upgrades (super dirty couches and carpet), needs a deep clean (bathroom dealing was covered in dead bugs and mold) and had some nonworking appliances (oven did not work). For $2,000 after fees for a 2-night stay in offseason, we expected more from this home.
The positives: the hot tub was great (and very clean). The neighborhood is wonderful. The light in the main family room/kitchen is spectacular. The wooded lot this house sits on is beautiful. The homeowners need to do the upgrades to this house that it deserves and the property management company needs to revise the listing to make it more accurate regarding the house’s state.

Comfortable but Needs Serious Attention
We did not expect this property to be luxury since it is dog friendly. However we experienced some issues that are too big to ignore: Severe mold in two bathrooms was disconcerting, towels that were wet and had a bad odor were laid out to use in baths, cracked tiles in master bath and kitchen, and severely stained carpet throughout. The cracked tile in kitchen came out of place frequently and had a jagged edge. Furniture is very old, worn, stained, and some broken (side table and dining chair).
Pluses: great location, nice deck and hot tub, well stocked nice kitchen, great layout for our group of 7. We appreciated the responsiveness of the Avant staff for handling small issues promptly.
Highly recommend installing a gate at top of stairs on deck for safety of children and pets.
For the price & it being an 'AvantStay' property our group expected it to be better maintained.
We had a wonderful time staying here, 4 couples and 1 toddler. We all had our own bedrooms and bathrooms, enjoyed the big living room and kitchen where we cooked several meals. Also enjoyed the hot tub and firepit in the back deck and the Adirondack chairs in the front deck. Beautiful views!!
We stayed here with our 2 year old and it was the perfect place to cuddle up after playing in the snow. There was already a high chair and a pack and play which was amazing! We would definitely stay here again!
My wedding party and I stayed here for a few days to explore Vail. It’s perfectly tucked away in the mountains in a beautiful neighborhood. Just 10 min from Vail Village. The place was super clean, easy check in, and beautiful! It’s perfect for a big group.
Great location. We enjoyed the space and layout . Very comfortable and relaxing. Vail was quiet because it was off season but enjoyed being in the mountains.
We had a great time at this location! Everything was clean. Very spacious for 12 guests. The bus stop to vail was a quick 2 minute walk around the corner. Everything was just as we’d hoped from the pictures.
This house was great for 7 adults. Everyone had their own space and several were able to work remotely. The living space was set up to comfortably accommodate everyone being together and the kitchen was well equipped. Great location and would return to stay at this home again.
We found out at the last minute that the Bighorn property had a leak, so AvantStay moved us to another property in the area at no additional cost. This is an advantage of booking a host like AvantStay that owns multiple properties. AvantStay communicated with us frequently and promptly responded to all our requests.
Nice and spacious property close to amazing hikes and nature activities. Quiet neighbors. Overall cleanliness was good. 4 stars instead of 5 because house was not completely ready when we arrived at check-in time: hot tub was not filled and code to enter did not work for about an hour after check-in time. After initial hiccups, we had a wonderful stay! Thank you!
