Manor Vail Lodge: Luxury Family Ski Stay Near Chair 6
By Patrick W. Davis, Director of Sales & Marketing
Manor Vail Lodge gives families condominium residences with generous space at the base of Golden Peak, within a short walk of the slopes and Vail Village. The luxury condominium lodge sits steps from the Riva Bahn Express lift at Chair 6, making it practical for families carrying ski gear and managing different schedules. Each residence has a full kitchen and private ski storage for an easier week-long routine. The property is close to the lift, although it is not ski-in/ski-out.
A Family Ski Base at Golden Peak
Manor Vail Lodge combines condominium living with close access to the Golden Peak area. The lodge is steps from the Riva Bahn Express lift at Chair 6 and a five-minute walk from Vail Village, so you can reach skiing and village services without planning a drive into town.
This setup suits families planning a week on the mountain who want a luxury base close to Vail Village. You have room to settle in, prepare food and organize equipment while staying near the mountain.

How Close Is Manor Vail Lodge to Chair 6 and Vail Village?
In the morning, collect your equipment, leave the lodge and follow the short route to Chair 6. This proximity reduces the time spent carrying skis and boots, which is useful when your family leaves in separate groups. The Vail Ski and Snowboard School Golden Peak campus is a very short walk across the street.
Ski valet is available at Chair 6. The front desk can explain how it works so every family member knows what to expect.
At the end of the day, return from Golden Peak on foot.
Après-Ski Amenities and Dining for Families
The post-ski routine can stay within the property. After walking back from Chair 6, your family can change, recover in the outdoor facilities and choose between cooking in your residence or eating on site.
The two heated outdoor pools and four hot tubs remain open year-round, making them useful for adults easing tired muscles and families spending time together after skiing.
Pools, Hot Tubs, and a Warm Return from the Slopes
Four hot tubs beside the two heated pools are shared by all guests. Penthouse 454 also has its own outdoor jacuzzi.
After a day on the mountain, the shared pools and hot tubs are a welcome soak, while your kitchen and living space keep the evening easy. Pack swimsuits for the whole family.
A daily hot breakfast buffet is included for registered guests, which gives your group a straightforward start before heading to the lift.
The Fitz: Elevated Bar + Bites is on property, known for approachable comfort food, creative cocktails and local Colorado drafts, and lists a kids menu. Confirm reservations and hours. You can also return to your residence for a flexible meal prepared in the full kitchen.
Plan the Practical Details Before You Book
A resort service fee applies in addition to the room rate. Include this fee when reviewing your total stay costs rather than comparing the room rate alone.
The resort service fee covers Wi-Fi, spa and fitness access, in-room coffee and tea, local phone service, lobby coffee and cookies, and newspapers.
Parking is available at the lodge. Confirm the current rate when you book, and tell the team whether you will bring a vehicle.
Children under 12 stay free when they use existing bedding. Ask about the exact bedding configuration in your selected residence because capacity and bed arrangements can vary between units.
ADA accessible rooms are available. Call the front desk at 970.476.5000 to confirm your needs.
