Staff Picks: Favorite Decks to Soak up Summer in the Vail Valley

Once summer and warm temperatures arrive in the mountains, the best room in the house isn't inside at all. A great vacation rental home is elevated by spectacular outdoor decks where you want to spend the day from sunrise until the stars come out.

It’s where mornings begin with a steaming cup of coffee and mountain views. Afternoons are spent curled up with a good book soaking in the sunshine; or after a hike, relaxing in a hot tub. As evening settles in, decks transform into gathering spaces for al fresco dinners, and conversations around the fire pit that linger long after sunset. And when darkness falls, there’s nothing better than sitting back and gazing up at the stars.

Our team knows these properties inside and out, so we’ve rounded up our favorite staff-picked decks in Vail and Beaver Creek. Kick back, soak in the sun, and find your perfect outdoor perch.

Ethereal Lodge

"The deck at Ethereal Lodge is all about the views. You feel elevated above it all."
- Mickael Chavy, General Manager

High Road

"There are so many fabulous features to this home's outdoor space - firepits, hot tub, outdoor fireplace by the dining table, a fenced yard for a dog, and plenty of seating to simply sit and enjoy the views!"
-Gaby Sirotkin, Guest Services Specialist

Timber Haven

"You feel completely secluded and surrounded by the forest out on the deck at Timber Haven, but with the comforts of the indoors steps away."
-Amy Davis, Director of Sales

Axiom Retreat

"One of the newest additions to our portfolio of homes, Axiom Retreat's deck wraps around the main level of the home and when you open all the sliding doors, the difference between indoors and out is blurred - bliss on a warm summer evening!"
-Teresa Wiedel, Brand & Guest Experience Manager

Paragon

“I could happily live in Paragon's outdoor living spaces! The beautiful aspens, the little mule deer family that lives just off the back patio, and the property feels like it is isolated way off in the forest. I think it fully embodies Beaver Creek's motto - not exactly roughing it!”
- Arianne Hughes, Front Desk Specialist
