Staff Picks: Stay In, Breathe Out in Colorado

While our luxury mountain homes serve as the perfect basecamp for outdoor adventure, many offer amenities to turn them into your own private wellness retreat. Think saunas, hot tubs, cold plunges, in-home gyms, and yoga spaces. So, you can soak in a hot tub after a day skiing, dunk in a cold plunge after a day on a mountain bike, detox in the sauna after a yoga session, or even have your own high-intensity workout without having to go to a crowded gym.

Whatever restoration means to you, these are the homes our team would pick to work out and wind down in.


Steamboat
"The Peloton bike, Tonal smart strength system, and free weights in the fitness room at Raptor would be amazing for a traveling Crossfitter like myself. The cold plunge and steam shower are great recovery bonuses that go above and beyond your average in-home wellness amenities."

- Vanessa Beasley, Guest Service Specialist

"Orion Lodge was designed for wellness. You can go from a rowing or Peloton workout in the gym, or a hike straight from the home, then soak in the hot tub or detox in the sauna or steam showers. And for the finale to my ultimate 'reset' day, I'd curl up with a good book in one of the home's cozy corners with a view...and fireplace"
- Julie George, Marketing Director


Breckenridge
"Summit at Shock Hill is one of my favorites. It's close to skiing, but once your back at the house you have privacy and plenty of space to spread out and find your quiet space. You can soak in the outdoor hot tub, watch the sunset from the fire pit on the deck with big views. Or the best part for me is the theater room where you can escape into a movie."

- Carol Abarca, Front Desk Specialist

"Sometimes a mix of mountain town and a tranquil location is just what the soul needs. At Everwild Chalet, you're close to historic downtown Breckenridge if retail therapy is your kind of relaxation. Yet, back at the house in its secluded neighborhood, you can soak in the hot tub or sweat in the sauna after a day skiing, hiking, or biking. Then cozy up with a book on the outdoor deck or in front of the fire in the living room."
- Teresa Wiedel, Brand & Guest Experience Manager


Vail & Beaver Creek

"You'll feel like you're staying in your own private spa. The home has everything for a restorative stay - great hot tub, private in-home massage room, gym equipment, and expansive outdoor living space that’s perfect for a summer getaway. It's secluded and relaxing."
- Skip Wilson,  Assistant General Manager 

"High Road is the ultimate all-season sanctuary. In the summer, you can spend the entire day soaking up the fresh mountain air while hiking or lounging on the huge outdoor deck. In winter, nothing beats the ski-in/ski-out access followed by a soak in the hot tub. My personal favorite touch is the steam shower in the primary suite."
- Kate Pahula, Reservations Manager


If you do want to venture out to a gym, yoga or Pilates studio, or full-service spa, check out our team's favorites in Steamboat, Breckenridge, and the Vail Valley.
