We LOVE Vail. Best in the world for snow sports, restaurants, and so much more. And we LOVE staying at Cedar at Streamside. We’ve been coming here for years and own a timeshare there. The Streamside complex is made up of several buildings, and we have stayed in 3 of them. Cedar is our favorite. Cedar has real wood fire places and they supply the wood! Nothing like coming back from skiing/snowboarding or apres ski and kicking back with a glass of wine in front of a real fireplace. Also, above the fireplace mantle, I love the 52 inch plasma screen TV’s for movie night. The Cedar building is tucked at the base of the mountainside among trees. The good thing is that this provides the best views in West Vail. Also, Cedar has the best access to the clubhouse facilities(indoor/outdoor pools and hot tubs, sauna, steam rooms, racquetball, game rooms, kids cave with wii, on-site equipment rental and purchase, etc.). Also make sure to take advantage of the free shuttle service to/from Vail and Lionshead(no need to pay for parking or drink-and-drive). Although the building was built in the 1980’s(the reason they still have fireplaces), the interiors have recently undergone complete renovation(New tile, appliances, cabinets, etc.). However, there are no elevators in the actual building, so this is a major downside for people who don’t like or can’t climb stairs. However, if you are OK with getting extra exercise from the stairs, then Cedar is the best choice and a great value and location for all that Vail has to offer.
