Welcome to Highcliffe Lodge — a one-of-a-kind luxury retreat in Vail where the rugged spirit of Yellowstone meets the timeless elegance of a Ralph Lauren mountain lodge. Nestled on nearly one private acre with sweeping Gore Range views and just five minutes from Vail Village (with your own Solaris garage parking space), this handcrafted log estate offers an unforgettable blend of high-end comfort, natural beauty, and family-friendly warmth.
The Experience
Highcliffe is more than a place to stay—it’s where mountain magic happens. Unwind in the Western mine-shaft-inspired private cinema (with 8K projection and Dolby Atmos sound), gather around the oversized moss rock firepit, or soak in the hot tub beneath the stars. Enjoy sunrise yoga on the balconies, sip wine at sunset from the dramatic stone belvederes, or retreat inside for board games, a movie night, or fireside storytelling. The home is ideal for multi-generational family gatherings, milestone celebrations, or serene couple getaways.
The Home
Thoughtfully designed to sleep 12 adults in true comfort, Highcliffe offers five bedrooms, each uniquely themed with Old Hickory furnishings, luxury Shifman mattresses, SONY 4K TVs, large windows with mountain views, and ample storage. The layout supports privacy and connection, with three main bedrooms featuring king or queen beds and lofted spaces, and two additional rooms ideal for singles and teens. Bathrooms include Molton Brown of London toiletries, plush towels, steam shower, and high-end hairdryers.
Arrive to Luxury
From the moment you step inside, you’re fully cared for. Linens are professionally laundered and pressed. The chef’s kitchen is fully equipped for memorable meals—or elevate your experience with an on-demand private chef. A wet bar and spacious dining areas make hosting effortless.
The Grounds
Explore your private acre of curated perennial gardens, natural stone patios, a summer waterfall, mature aspens, ancient boulders, and a meandering masonry path up Highcliffe Mountain to three breathtaking stone terraces that overlook the Vail Valley and National Forest.
