Surrounded by 1,000 acres at 4 Eagle Ranch, Collective Vail gives you a taste of pristine Colorado while still being an easy drive from the modern resort town. Plenty to do or nothing at all, from exploring the surrounding trails by horseback or sipping the best varietals the region has to offer, there’s a little something for everyone.
I’d love to give 5 stars but there were something’s that went wrong and that were falsely advertised that has me frustrated. We booked the king bed summit tents. It says right on the website that there’s a wood burning stove inside the tent, there is not. I was very disappointed by this. Next, we have a shower in our tent yet we couldn’t use it because the hot water doesn’t work. We asked them to come check it out and idk if they ever did or not, I’m assuming they didn’t because it still didn’t work after asking them to come out. The only other thing that frustrated me was the fire pit not having enough room for us to go get our free s’mores and sit around the fire. This many tents, you should have at least two fire pits so everyone can enjoy the fire. Especially since you removed the stoves from the tents. Also, personally I don’t recommend the BBQ experience. It’s unsanitary and at the price point I’d like to have at least wash my hands when handling raw chicken, steak and pork. They don’t provide a thermometer to make sure chicken is cooked to correct temp. The steak was really delicious however not worth $155. I could see a price of $50 maybe but not $155 for u to cook ur own food.
Everything else was great! View was incredible. Staff was friendly. Bed was very comfortable!! The granola breakfast was nice, and the setting where you eat breakfast is stunning!
Overall I feel I was overcharged considering we didn’t have the stove or hot water. But I do love the unique experience we had and in such a beautiful place
Overpriced and not a good value. "Everything you'd expect from a five star hotel" is a gross exaggeration. Sheets and towels were nice though. It was extremely hot during our visit and without a lick of shade or attempt at shade (journey tents area) I think this a consideration miss. Service was just ok - see notes about dinner below but will say Roxanne went above and beyond to provide some redemption. She was part of the breakfast staff and I could tell she definitely cared about delivering great service. She brought us ice for our cooler which I thought was a nice touch. Sunset and night sky gazing was great, but obviously available anywhere in this area.
We had a really great experience here! The whole staff was very friendly and accommodating, especially, Mickael, he was fabulous. Our tent and bed was very comfortable, even in the queen journey tent. The views are spectacular! There are plenty of drink options in the communal tent and the food was pretty good (although I do think slightly overpriced). We would highly recommend to family and friends as it was a very unique and fun experience.
I purchased a stay there with my family and was blown away by the views, the staff, the service and beautiful tents. It was the first time my kids went camping and boy were they delighted. The horseback riding on property was an added bonus. We will definitely be back!
This was an experience I would love to live over again. It was a weekend full of stargazing, connecting and adventure. Our walk around the property did not disappoint. We were able to take some amazing pictures!
A few helpful tips.
If staying in September especially the latter part, make sure to bring a electric blanket or propane room heater.
Make sure to zip both the screen and outer flaps of tent tightly before bed. (We stayed in summit king) If there is any wind your sleep well be interrupted.
You will park your car in a lot that's not close to your lodging. They have ATV shuttles to help take you and your luggage to your tent. (I enjoyed not having that near where we slept, it was quiet).
If staying in a journey tent there is a treck up the side of a hill to get to your tent. Or ...you can call for the ATV.
Personally, I recommend staying in the King summit. You get your own private bathroom and you're near the common area.
Over all this was an amazing and unique experience.
We enjoyed ourselves.
Thank you to all who made our stay wonderful!
