Sheraton Lakeside Terrace Villas At Mountain Vista, Avon, Vail Valley

“Nice experience”

I and my other three friends stayed there for two nights in last ski season. The room is a little old but the price is decent. It is more like an apartment than a hotel style. If you want to cook by yourself during your vacation, a nice choice it will be.

“Not Good for Warm Summer Months.”

First of all be warned, this is not part of Sheraton Mountain Vista Villas.

First of all be warned, this is not part of Sheraton Mountain Vista Villas. When I made the reservation for the 2 bedroom suite, I was told that the Sheraton Lakeside Terrace was right next door, insinuating that they are part of the same property. They are not, even though you check in at the Mountain Vista. Our location at Lakeside Terrace seemed like group of rooms that was once a condo complex that Sheraton slapped their logo on the outside of the building. Positives: They did a very nice job, the two bedroom suite looks EXACTLY like the photos on the Bonvoy website, and I was more than satisfied with the aesthetics. There were two bedrooms, and two pullout couches, I would pass to the privately owned Athletic club across the street. The Athletic club venture to guess it was 1500 square feet. We were not able to use the pool at the Mountain Vista Villas, but they more than made up to it be giving us a had a 2 big indoor pools with a great slide for kids, a jacuzzi, workout room etc. Much better than the small pool at the Mountain Vista Villas. The athletic club would be a dream during winter season. Negatives: No a/c, and ventilation is really lacking in the suite. Upon check in, I think it was a bit deceptive when you are told that there is no a/c, but "the policy is to let the cool mountain air cool down the room." Well that would be fine and dandy if the hand crank windows opened more 4-6 inches. There is literally zero cross ventilation. The weather was in the mid to high 80's during out stay. An yes there are two box fans and two tower fans provided, but I seriously felt like I was staying in a tenement in the city with those fans going. Thankfully we were able to put a box fan in front of the sliding glass door, and it definitely helped. Basically, you have to choose to let the morning light wake you or the sheer stuffiness wake you up. The master bath was so stuffy, we had to put a fan in the bathroom to blow the stuffy air into the master bedroom, gross. I don't think I would stay here during the summer again, there are better accommodations in the valley that have a/c. If you plan to visit during ski season, I would definitely stay here, it would be cozy, and the 2 bedroom suite has two gas fireplaces (one in living room, the other in the master bedroom) to make it even cozier. The dining room can accommodate up to 8 people, which make it great for a group. There is also a patio area with a patio table and 4 chairs, along with a nice bbq. If this location fixed the a/c situation, it would be a great place to stay.

“Very hot and loud”

Note that this is not actually part of the Sheraton Mountain Vista Villas, even though you have to go check in there across the street.

Note that this is not actually part of the Sheraton Mountain Vista Villas, even though you have to go check in there across the street. Unlike the Lakeside Villas, the Mountain Villas had a lobby, concierge, pool, hot tubs on the top floor, and arcade. If you stay in the Lakeside Villas, you cannot access the pool or hot tubs. That was incredibly disappointing considering they make it seem like the two villa properties are one in the same. The Lakeside villas is just comprised of two small standalone buildings. There is no lobby or amenities directly on site. If you are staying here in the summer, beware. It was HOT. Impossible to sleep. There is no air conditioning and it did not cool down inside at night. We could not leave the 2nd bedroom window open because it overlooks the main exterior walkway and we did not feel comfortable having our child stay in that room with the window open for anyone to climb in. Even when we left the window open in the master bedroom, there was no breeze coming in whatsoever. But we honestly couldn't even keep it open since there is a huge playground right outside and people played on it until all hours of the night. It was incredibly loud. Children screaming all day. If you are looking to sit on your balcony and relax, this is not the place. But, if you have kids, the playground and beach on the lake next door was very convenient.
