Long Term Rental Vail
Looking for long-term rental? Vail Colorado is the number one ski hub in the United States. Vail took in 1.5 million visitors last ski season (2003-2004) alone, many of them repeat customers. For the past two years, Vail Resort ranked highest of any resort in the U.S. in its number of visitors on record.
Once in Vail, like many folks you may not want to leave. If it turns out Vail offers everything you've dreamed of and more, why not make skier's paradise your home? Since there are many variables to consider when making such a decision, I've gathered some information that may be of help to you.
The lifestyle
Do you adore small town charm but are drawn to the international feel of a big city in seeking long-term rental? Vail, then, is for you, as its world-class recreation draws visitors the world over! With an average of 335 inches of white stuff a year, you have to love the snow. Do you feel incomplete through the wintry months without gazing out your frosty window to find snowflakes gently falling to the ground, the feel of it crunching under your feet on a brisk morning stroll, the sight of crystals glistening in the sun? Think of the peaceful state a fresh blanket of velvety white broken only by a trickling stream or the footprints of a deer invokes in you. Then think of Vail. Because that's what much of what this area has to offer. Though a ski hub, the town of Vail has made every effort to keep much of its virgin soil untouched and unspoiled. With its 16 miles of recreational paths to explore, and 2,200 acres of developed area (not including skiable terrain), the town has also set aside 1,100 acres of undeveloped and protected nature for open space.

Cons
Truth is, the majority of Vail's population are part-time weekend and seasonal residents, many coming in from the Denver area just 100 miles west of Vail. During the popular ski season Vail's population can jump from a meager 4,500 to about 40,000! This is great for Vail's economy. However, it can make for some pretty high cost of living.
Housing rental.
For the best value, depending on your length of stay, some realtors suggest renting your home or condo directly from the owner as opposed to renting through property management. But shop around. A good resource for both renters and owners is http://www.vailrbo.com/
