Bob Johnson & his Husky, Lily, enjoy living like locals at the Antlers.
The Antlers is grateful to have many guests who make our hotel their home for a month or longer. It’s always fun to hear their stories, and welcome these guests back. Our 30 Day Live-Like-a-Local package has received national attention in a recent publication of the Boston Globe. The package includes tax-free luxury lodging in a variety of options from a studio to four-bedroom residences; complimentary lawn tickets for Bravo! Vail and Vail International Dance Festival, Vail Jazz Festival, and Vail Summer Bluegrass Series tickets (depending on event dates); complimentary bikes; loaner GoPro camera; and unlimited access to the Vail Athletic Club. With the launch of this package it is timely to share feedback from guests who’ve recently stayed 30 days or more with us here at the Antlers.
Meet Bob Johnson
Bob, his wife Heather, and their playful husky, Lily, have stayed about a month with us every winter for the past 8 years in one of our pet-friendly condos. They visit us from Washington state. Bob & Heather found the Antlers by way of their friends who were attending a medical conference and have stayed with us ever since. Bob told me that they return each year because the Antlers makes for a flawless 30 days. Being close to the lifts, close to restaurants, and always having the friendly Antlers staff available to help makes their vacation perfect. Bob also told me that it’s the relationship that makes the difference for them in staying here instead of at other properties. “The staff is always friendly and says hello”, he says. During their stay Heather enjoys our complimentary yoga classes, they dine at Vail’s many great restaurants, they have longer ski days sometimes, and other times enjoy a couple of hours on the slopes. Having the Antlers as their home base makes skiing extremely easy with Ski Butlers ski valet service and our proximity to the Eagle Bahn Gondola. Staying with us for 30 days gives them the opportunity to enjoy a sport they love hassle-free, and is a special highlight to look forward to every year. They find that their extended stay is an incredible value. Hearing this from Bob really made our day, and he told us that we made their month. They’re lovely people. It’s always a pleasure to welcome Bob & Heather back.
Meet Mike Beatty & Sue Burton
Another wonderful family we get the opportunity to see every year is Mike Beatty, Sue Burton, and their lovely lab, Lulu, (not pictured). They visit us every year from Ontario. Mike and Sue have been guests of ours for about 10 years. They love our service, hospitality, and our proximity to the Eagle Bahn Gondola. Mike & Sue say that everything about the Antlers is excellent. During their most recent stay with us, we had the pleasure of inviting them to a local celebration of the Vail Symposium’s 45th anniversary of Convening Locally, Thinking Globally. It was wonderful to catch up with them, have dinner, and talk about our ski days together. They’re wonderful people, and it’s delightful to welcome them back to the Antlers year after year.
Whether you’re enjoying the slopes for a long holiday in the winter, or enjoying a season of Bravo performances in the summer, the Antlers is a wonderful place to call home for your extended stay in beautiful Vail, Colorado. Are you interested in becoming one of our extended-stay guests? Keep us in mind! We’d love the opportunity to invite you in to the Antlers family.
