Get Ready for a Colorado Rockies Vacation
By Tyler Bohlman
Avon, Colorado, is a year-round destination for all fans of the outdoors.
A grown-up, outdoor playground awaits bikers, hikers, rafters, shoppers, diners, and anyone who just wants to get away from it all at the bottom of one of Colorado’s prettiest mountains.
Avon, Colorado, nestled in Vail Valley, is a hub of year-round mountain adventures and entertainment. The hardest part is picking where you’ll spend your nights.
Sheraton Lakeside Terrace Villas at Mountain Vista
Located at the base of the Beaver Creek® ski area, this mountainside retreat has everything you need before and after your great outdoor adventure.
Begin your day with a healthy breakfast made in the fully equipped kitchen right inside your villa. From flatware to a range/oven and microwave, the only thing you need to supply is the energy-building protein. Check in with the Concierge desk for a list of nearby activities. During the warm summer months, you can enjoy hiking, biking, and white-water rafting. Once the snow starts to fall, the resort transforms into your ideal skiing destination.
After a day spent on the slopes, return to the resort for an easy way to wind down the day. Enjoy a relaxing dip in an indoor or outdoor pool, soothe your muscles in the warmth of a steam room, sauna, or whirlpool spa, or simply return to your room for a hot shower and comfy bed rest.
This charming resort is a welcoming, casual home that places you minutes from year-round mountain adventures. It also offers the area’s best shopping, dining, and entertainment.
Visit sometime between November and April and take advantage of winter activities like skiing, tubing, ice skating, and more. During the summer months, enjoy the crisp mountain air as you hike, bike, golf, fish, and so much more. When you aren’t taking advantage of the great outdoors, be sure to spend some time enjoying all the resort has to offer. Swim in the pool and lazy river, gather around a fire pit, or keep the energy flowing with a workout in the fitness center.
Once the night falls, return to your room for a delicious homemade dinner in the fully equipped kitchen, family game night in the living area, or a relaxing cup of tea on the attached balcony.
