2 reviews for Pines Lodge
My friends (Brandon and Jefe--see other Reviews) just got back from an overnight trip to the Pines Lodge at Beaver Creek. We had a GREAT time and I highly recommend this place to anyone seeking the "alternative" experience to skiing.
We have skied The Beave (see Review) a few times before and decided to hit it again for the Talons Challenge; skiing 13 Diamond and Double Diamond runs. Jefe was able to secure a screaming deal at the Pines, so we planned for the overnight.
Typically parking at Beaver Creek is $30 a day, so to just not have to pay for parking was great in and of itself. Since we got there early in the morning, we were unable to check-in. We changed in the roundabout in front of the hotel (not uncommon to our crew) and walked about a 100 yards to strap in and ski down to Strawberry Lift. We pwned (sic) the Talons and made our way back to the hotel after examining the bottom of a pitcher at the Coyote Cafe.
The room was a double with super-plush, awesome beds! Great bathroom setup. The hotel staff was fantastic! Every little need we had, they were very attentive to. And while we didn't have the BMW Lori mentioned at our disposal, there was a sweet Volvo XC. Made me ALMOST not want to drive my 4Runner into town.
The alarm clock...well, you need to stay there to experience it...Interesting.
The Pines Lodge is a AAA-rated 4 Diamond Resort and they earn every facet of it.
Find a reason to go there for a long time, you will LOVE it!
The fact that overnight guests can reserve a complimentary BMW for an entire day or evening is reason enough to stay at this stunningly beautiful resort nestled among shimmering Aspens and aromatic pines on the slopes of Beaver Creek.
Combine that kind of hospitality (and trust!) with breathtaking mountain views, exquisitely decorated and spacious penthouse condominiums, town homes, and hotel rooms, a fitness area, high speed Internet access, Jacuzzi and outdoor pool, in-room massages, and dinner at the Grouse Mountain Grill---itself one of the top dining options in Vail Valley---and you'll experience gracious alpine attitude at its peak.
