The Christie Lodge

The 5 star rating is based not on luxury but upon value for cost. First value is location down from Beaver Creek Ski Resort. And buses stop at the front door and take skiers and boarders up there without charge. A full service ski shop is off the lobby--bike and summer servives that season. Subway and a Vietnamese restaurant are in the Lodge while a large variety of other restaurants are as close as across the street--as is Avon's largest liquor store. Pools, hot tubs, games and more, as website lists. Staff are very competent and friendly. Rooms are mostly newly remodeled with the project going forward steadily. (Ask for a remodeled room if available when booking. ) Having been here at least 2 weeks every year but one starting in 1984, I can objectively attest to the unquestioned value.
