Vaulted ceilings give this condo a much more spacious feel than other units. 3 of the 4 bedrooms have King or Queen beds, making them ideal for couples, while the fourth bedroom has two Double beds and a Twin bed, making it perfect for kids or single adults. All 4 bedrooms have a dedicated bathroom, ski slope views, and HDTVs. Please read on for full details.

The Property:
When you enter, you'll find a large coat closet plus a bench with storage above and below for boots, hats, and other gear. You'll immediately appreciate the size of the main room, which combines the kitchen, dining, and living room into one large space. The living room has comfy furniture, including a sleeper sofa, and the vaulted ceilings really add to the feel of the space. Relax here and enjoy the two sided fireplace and entertainment center, which includes a large HDTV, built in surround sound, and an assortment of books and games. Step out onto the covered deck, which is also quite large, where you'll find outdoor dining for 6, and great views of the ski mountain. The kitchen is fully equipped with everything you need, plus some extra bonus features such as the filtered water and ice. No need for bottled waters here! Granite slab counters, travertine tile backsplash, beautiful cabinetry, and stainless steel appliances, including a gas range and oven, make this a great place to prepare meals. The dining table seats 8 comfortably or up to 10 if you like getting everyone together for a meal. The kitchen's elevated peninsula bar seats 3 more if you prefer a little extra elbow room. This bar is a great place for breakfast, appetizers or even your laptop and being right next to the dining area and sink, makes serving meals or cleaning up very easy.

There are two bedrooms and bathrooms to one side and two more of each on the other, creating a nice separation of space. All of the bedrooms have beautiful furniture sets with high quality beds and linens, and large windows that face the ski mountain. Bedroom 1 is very large. It includes a King size bed, dresser with HDTV, and multiple places to sit and relax. It's en-suite bathroom is a real treat. The vanity has dual sinks and plenty of counter space. The jacuzzi tub and walk in shower are both oversized. Bedroom 2 is equally large and has a Queen size bed. Like bedroom 1, it also has a dresser, HDTV, and a private bathroom with dual sink vanity. Bedroom 3 has a Queen bed, wall mounted HDTV, and a good bit of extra space for your things. It's bathroom is right across the hall. Though a bit more modest than the bathrooms for the king bedroom suites, it still has lots of counter space, an oversized shower, plus those upscale granite and travertine finishes. Bedroom 4 is a bunk room. It includes a Double over Double bunk bed plus a regular Twin bed. As with all of the other bedrooms, this room has an HDTV placed ideally for those who like to watch from the bed.

The property has more plentiful amenities than any other location. In ski season, the free private shuttle is very convenient for getting around town. You'll have access to four different pools, with one of them being conveniently located right out back. Another of the pools is an indoor / outdoor pool, which means that on those cold winter days, you can enter the pool inside, away from any wind. Kids will love exploring the indoor outdoor pools or heading to a different pool each day. Each pool / outdoor common area has restrooms, comfy furniture, dining tables, heated towels, and adjacent grills / picnic areas. This development also includes a large clubhouse, where you'll find lounge areas, locker rooms, tennis/pickleball courts, fitness center, sauna, conference space, and front desk.

Location:
This property has an exceptional location in the heart of the Mountain Village that makes walking to the slopes, shops, restaurants, or even groceries a short, flat, easy trip. Remember this, though, If you don't feel like walking, all you have to do is call the front desk for the free private shuttle. It runs all ski season and can transport you to the slopes or anywhere else in town! That said, this location really is a pretty short walk from the heart of the ski area base - Steamboat Square. Emerald Lodge is the closest of the Trappeur's buildings to Steamboat Square and all of the ski resort's base area lifts. The "Mountain Sneak" trail runs right past the building's pool area, and leads directly to the slopes. In only about 150 meters, you'll come to the Apres Ski Way. You can ski right back to this point, conditions permitting. Here you'll also find a small grocery, deli, restaurant, liquor and wine store called The Wild Plum. You'll also find a ski rental shop, burger joint, and Storm Peak Brewery's beer hall. Cross the street and walk another 100 meters and you'll be at the edge of Steamboat Square. That's right, you only walk about 250 meters from this condo to the slopes and the center of our resort's base area! Besides the slopes, the ski school is the first thing you come to. It is very easy to drop off your kids and head back to the condo or up onto the slopes, as well as to pick them up when you're heading home. In fact, with a very straightforward walk, only crossing one intersection with a 4 way stop and crosswalks, many kids can head home without assistance. The Gondolas, the Christie Peak Express lift, and the ticket office are right here too. So are many restaurants and bars, free concerts, special events, and activities galore. In summer, the base area is so kid friendly, with lots of activities to enjoy. Burgess Creek flows through the base area with a controlled water level that flows through at a level that is ideal for kids who want to splash around. There are beaches and plenty of places to relax along the creek and there are many restaurants and bars, so its a popular place. With a large stage, this area plays host to movie nights, free concerts, art shows, hot air balloon glows, and more.

Don't forget, the ski area sits on national forest. So your condo is literally right next to a national forest trailhead. You can hike or bike from your door! You can also ride up the Gondola for food, beverages, amazing views, sunsets, or to hike and bike around to the highest parts of the ski area with a 2000 vertical foot head start! This area is also connected to other trails too. The Mountain Sneak trail, Mt. Werner trail, and Burgess Creek trail all converge within 100 yards of the Emerald Lodge. These paved trails are perfect for walking, strolling, and they connect with the Yampa River Core Trail, which leads to downtown Steamboat, the Emerald Mountain trail system, and beyond. Everything is right out your door.

Summer nights are cool and fans are provided at most properties. Check the average high and low temperatures and weather forecast for your dates of travel, and look at the list of amenities to see if AC or fans are part of the rental property and look for ceiling fans in photos.
** Group Sizes, High Occupancy Fees, & Maximum Occupancy - Some properties use a “High Occupancy Fee” to “raise the rate” for larger groups, and are thus able to list a lower nightly rate for smaller groups. Each rental agreement and associated rates are for a specific group size. Guests must enter the correct and maximum group size at the time of booking. The agreement requires a guest to confirm the group size and subsequently, to disclose any changes to the planned group size, which may result in an increase, or decrease, to the total cost, and may result in a security deposit becoming required.

If you plan to bring more people than you've indicated, more dogs than indicated, to host a party or event, or do not intend to respect neighbors or the value and quality of the property, then this is not the place for you, and you should not book the property. For normal, respectful groups, we are sorry that these statements and measures are necessary.
