Adjacent to Colorado's Roughlock ski run in Bachelor Gulch Village, a small enclave of Vail ski homes offer residents and guests ski-in/ski-out access and dramatic views of the Gore Range.  Quartermoon is a full-service Platinum-rated vacation property with access to the Ritz Carlton, Bachelor Gulch.  It features 13 exclusive mountain homes in Vail Valley.  

From the vantage point high up on Bachelor Ridge of Beaver Creek Mountain facing the Back Bowls of Vail Mountain, each of the two-story Bachelor Gulch homes maximizes the unique, unobstructed panoramas.

The Edwards CO Real estate in Vail Valley offers not only world-class skiing on the Birds of Prey World Cup Trail but offers a European style Village-to-Village trail between Bachelor Gulch, Beaver Creek, and Arrowhead and shuttles between Vail and Beaver Creek villages.  Vacationers at Vail homes enjoy a golfing paradise during warmer months and a plethora of hiking trails through the White River National Forest and beyond.  White water rafting, fly-fishing the Eagle River and Gore Creek, ice skating, hunting, Nordic skiing, snowshoeing, swimming, mountain biking and other outdoor activities are here for the picking.
