Worlds away, yet right in our own backyard, come enjoy the beauty and splendor of Beaver Creek.  If you think it’s just too pricey, think again, low season offers some great deals, there are accommodations to fit every need.  Beaver Creek is a perfect romantic getaway, an exciting ski adventure and a great place for corporate meetings and team building.

Summer is a great time to relax and enjoy, shopping in the village, the year-round outdoor ice skating rink, or an evening at the world class Vilar Center for the performing arts.  There is an abundance of hiking and biking trails, you can take the lift to the top of the mountain where you can then pick up a mountain bike and feel the wind in your face as you speed down.  If you’re the type that prefers to hike they have several trails down, or keep yourself in your seat and head down the same way you came up. Enjoy team building experiences such as white-water rafting, jeep rides or a hayride up the mountain for an incredible dinner at Beano’s or Allie’s Cabin.  Beaver Creek sits in a valley covered with Aspen trees and is a spectacular site for fall foliage, image yourself hot-air ballooning over the valley or horseback riding through the wildness.  There is always winter, Beaver Creek has taken itself from a ski mountain that was considered moderate at best, to some of the best downhill in Colorado.  Spring is a quiet time with plenty of great deals. How about a round of golf on the Beaver Creek Golf course, designed by Robert Trent Jones?  Is it true your ball actually travels further at this altitude?

If your looking for perfect place to stay here are a few to choose from, The Pines Lodge (rated four diamonds) has some of the best meeting facilities in the village, and certainly the best restaurant “Grouse Mountain Grill” toured as an “Upscale American Grill” has received several awards, and you just can’t beat the view.    The Inn at Beaver Creek is an intimate mountain lodge with a four-diamond rating. There are many condominiums to choose from, try Townsend Place or The Borders Lodge if price is a factor.  There is a wonderful selection of luxury condominiums; Oxford Court or St. James Place are located within the village.  Elkhorn Lodge is beautiful both inside and out with a luxurious rustic charm and is located right next to the golf course.  If you want a feeling of the Wild West SaddleRidge is a must, it houses the largest know private collection of American West antique furnishings and artifacts.  We are also able to book private home throughout the village or a private retreat located on Beaver Creek Mount at 9,500, where you can relax while the cabinkeeper and chef serve you and up to 9 other guests.
