Fresh Air, Family and Food: Al Fresco Dining in Vail and Beaver Creek

Food just seems to taste better after a beautiful sunny day full of adventures in the mountains. And it doesn’t get any better than dining al fresco with friends and family. But securing a patio table at a restaurant can be tricky. So, when it’s a gorgeous evening outside, you’ll always be able to enjoy a meal in the fresh evening air while watching the sunset on the deck of one of Moving Mountains’ spectacular mountain homes.

THE PERFECT AL FRESCO EXPERIENCE
SCENIC VIEWS

Imagine sitting on a spacious deck, surrounded by towering pines and breathtaking mountain views. The Colorado Rockies provide a stunning backdrop that enhances every meal, from a casual breakfast to an elegant dinner.

COMFORT AND LUXURY

Our homes have comfortable outdoor furniture, ambient lighting, and fire pits to keep you warm as the evening cools down. 

GOURMET GRILLING

Many of our homes feature top-of-the-line grills. Imagine savoring a perfectly grilled steak or fresh vegetables while the sun sets behind the peaks.

Check out our picks for homes with perfect fresh air dining decks.


Perfectly positioned in West Vail, Axiom Retreat is a newly renovated luxury 3-bedroom retreat. The deck runs the length of the home where a grill and outdoor dining table for 10 make al fresco dining a pleasure.

Bearberry Lodge

Discover a mountain oasis with ski-in/ski-out access to Beaver Creek. Situation above McCoy creek and surrounded by aspen trees, the outdoor space features a fire pit, dining table for 8.


Ethereal Lodge

From its elevated vantage point, Ethereal Lodge lives up to its name in every sense. Out on the deck, guests can take in the breathtaking views of the Vail Valley from the hot tub, sitting around the fire pit, or dining al fresco.

Timber Haven is a luxurious retreat in exclusive Bachelor Gulch. Sip cocktails around the fire pit and then dine alfresco on the expansive wraparound deck while soaking in the views, alpenglow, and fresh mountain air.

Don't want to cook (you’re on vacation after all!)? Have one of our private chefs prepare a meal for you to enjoy on the deck of your private vacation home. Our menus are crafted around fresh produce and the finest cuts of meat, and we support our local growers. Our chefs also fulfill many special food requests like vegetarian, vegan or kosher meals and can avoid any food allergies.
