Old Greenwood (Lake Tahoe, California)
Lake Tahoe’s Old Greenwood is your quintessential mountain lodge experience. If February makes you crave hot chocolate, the crackle of a fireplace and snowy tree tops outside the window, this alpine estate should be first on your list. Old Greenwood is a well known golfing community, meaning you can have your share of late winter fun and leisure time out on the Jack Nicklaus course. When it comes to your home away from home, you can choose from cabins, townhouses and villas ranging from two to four bedrooms. For even more space, a fully equipped kitchen, your own gas fireplace and an on-site washer/dryer, opt for an Old Greenwood estate home instead. After you settle in, a complimentary shuttle can ferry you to Northstar California Ski Resort for a day of top notch slopes and alpine views. After a day out, wind down among the pines in your own private forest hideaway.
Solaris Residences (Vail, Colorado)
If you’ve never visited Vail Village, chances are it’s already on your bucket list. The village and surrounding region are famous for luxuries tucked into a classic winter wonderland. Solaris Residences are part of one of Vail’s top rated resorts, meaning you’ll have resort conveniences at your fingertips while enjoying the seclusion of a private penthouse. With room for up to eleven guests, the penthouse is perfect for an entire family, group of besties, or even a couple who appreciates space. Glass accents, a balcony, and a wrap around terrace allow you to enjoy the outdoors from the comfort of home. With the Gore and Vail Mountains visible from the terrace, you’ll be mesmerized all day, even if you’re planning to spend it snuggling by the fireplace with a good novel. Winter sports enthusiasts will be happy to find a ski locker and mud room for gear storage; after all, some of the best skiing in the United States is a short drive from the resort. Handcrafted elements give the home a personal touch, while high ceilings and custom bar elevate your living experience. Each of the four guest suites within the home has an attached bathroom for privacy, and there are plenty of common areas throughout. Vail Village has restaurants, shopping, and nightlife and you’ll have access to all of Solaris Resort’s perks, like on- site gourmet dining, a fitness center, and customized spa treatments.
One Beaver Creek (Beaver Creek, Colorado)
Just west of Vail lies Beaver Creek, Colorado, another mountain village offering both winter and warm weather activities. One Beaver Creek is located right in Beaver Creek Village, keeping you close to everything the town has to offer. This Platinum residence was recently renovated to incorporate elements from local designers and even more amenities. Four bedrooms, a full kitchen and heated garage help you rest, dine and play in comfort without skipping a beat, while a ski locker provides ample storage for all your family gear. Step out on the balcony and take in the mountains; a Sabre gas BBQ grill is available for you to show off your skills when the weather’s warm. Food lovers will be ecstatic about the full kitchen and state of the art appliances, which include a Wolf Gas Range, two Wolf Ovens, and even a Sub-Zero wine refrigerator to store your best. A Peloton bike lets you work out without interrupting your flow, and a gas fireplace keeps you cozy. Just steps beyond your front door, Beaver Creek Village is yours to explore; stop by the local ski school for a lesson package to fit your skill level.
Mauna Kea Residences (Hawai’i Island)
It’s not surprising that Hawaii’s Big Island remains one of the country’s most visited vacation destinations. Staying at one of Mauna Kea’s two to seven bedroom condos, townhouses or estate slets you get into the island’s rhythm at your own pace. 35 residences allow you to choose the perfect spot on the Kohala Coast, with two pristine beaches just moments away. Private pools, golf course access and mountains on the horizon make your stay unforgettable. Stay active at the oceanside tennis club and get your daily workout in at one of two fitness centers before heading over to the Mauna Kea Spa. As a guest, you’ll have access to not only your chosen residence, but also the Mauna Kea Beach Hotel. Mauna Kea is a premium oceanside living experience; if you’ve never had the chance to wake up to the sound of waves crashing on shore, now’s your chance. Choosing a residential experience over a traditional resort package is a great way to get to know the Big Island on your own terms without the crowds and space limitations of a hotel.
President’s Day is only a few days away, so be sure to choose your dream residence soon. You might feel so at home that you’ll end up extending your stay- February is a perfect time of year to catch some last minute snow or get some sun in the tropics. An estate home that feels like a luxury result takes the inconveniences out of traveling to a new place; it’s time to make your comfort the number one priority.
