Edwards, CO Vacation Rentals Near Beaver Creek

Edwards sits on the Eagle River about 15 minutes west of Beaver Creek. It is a working mountain town rather than a resort village, so you get more space, quieter streets and local restaurants, with Beaver Creek and Vail both an easy drive away.

• Closer to the airport: Eagle County Regional Airport (EGE) is about 20 minutes from our Edwards condo.

• A downtown on the river: the Riverwalk at Edwards has restaurants, coffee shops, a bookstore and a movie theater along the Eagle River.

• Room to spread out: neighborhoods like Homestead are residential, with open space, trails and parks instead of hotel crowds.

• Two resorts in reach: ski Beaver Creek one day and Vail the next. If you would rather stay on the mountain, see our Beaver Creek homes and Vail homes.

Our 3-bedroom Edwards condo is a two-level, 2-bath home in the Homestead neighborhood, less than 2 miles from downtown Edwards and the Riverwalk.

• Bedrooms: a king in the primary bedroom, a queen in the second, and a bunk room with two sets of twin-over-twin bunks, plus a sleeper sofa in the living room.

• Living space: an open living room with an electric fireplace and Smart TV, a fully stocked kitchen with a 5-burner stove, dining for 6 and bar seating for 4.

• Right outside: Homestead’s open-space trails and walking paths, pickleball and basketball courts nearby, and tennis courts through the Homestead Rec Center by reservation.

• Parking: space for 2 vehicles.

Good to know: the bedrooms are upstairs, there is no air conditioning, and access, schedules and fees for Homestead amenities vary.

• Beaver Creek: about 15 minutes by car. Arrowhead, just east of Edwards, has its own lift into Beaver Creek, the Arrow Bahn Express. Arrowhead usually opens later and closes earlier in the season than the main mountain, so check lift status before you go.

• Vail: roughly 25 minutes on I-70.

• Free regional bus: Core Transit runs fare-free buses between Edwards and Vail, with stops in Avon, EagleVail and Beaver Creek. Rides to or from Gypsum and the airport still charge a fare.

• Airports: Eagle County Regional Airport (EGE) is about 20 minutes away. Denver International is about 2 to 2.5 hours, depending on traffic, weather and mountain conditions.

• Driving: a car is recommended for this location, and AWD or 4WD is the safer choice in winter.

Summer and fall

• Fly fishing and rafting on the Eagle River: the river runs right through town. Rafting season usually runs from late May to early July, when the snowmelt is up.

• Eagle River Preserve: about 72 acres of riverside open space next to the Riverwalk, with trails, fishing access and good wildlife watching.

• Homestead trails: the neighborhood around our condo has roughly 400 acres of open space, with walking paths and hiking trails close to the door.

• Golf: several courses are within a short drive, including Sonnenalp Golf Club and the Cordillera courses.

Winter

• Ski two resorts: Beaver Creek is about 15 minutes away and Vail about 25.

• Holidays in the valley: see our Christmas and New Year’s guide for tree lightings, torchlight parades and fireworks in Vail and Beaver Creek.

• Evenings in town: dinner and a movie at the Riverwalk, a short drive from the condo.
