Frequently Asked Questions

How do you unlock the lockbox?

where can i park in the garage?

Once inside the paid parking area, you may park in any of the spots. The immediate green area is going to be closest to the Peak 9 elevator (the building where the condo is located). Below is a map of the Village where it shows each building’s color, that color correlates with the colors in the parking garage (i.e., in this map Peak 9 Inn is green, and the preferred parking area for Peak 9 Inn is the green level). If you cannot find parking in the green area, it’s ok to park elsewhere in the garage just note that the elevators in the other areas will not go directly to Peak 9. So you may want to walk back to the green area and take that elevator.

Where can I store my skis?

You are welcome to store your skis or snowboard in the unit. We have ski racks by the door. However, we recommend utilizing the FREE ski valet provided to you from Christy Sports in the Village. Their ski valet is located here. Just let them know that you are an Airbnb guest in Peak 9 Inn and they will hold your skis for free. Keep in mind that the ski valet that is offered in the Welcome Area in Peak 9 is only for Vail Resorts guests. But the good news for us is that Christy Sports is even closer to the ski lift!

Does the condo have ac?

Due to the condo being located on a mountain, AC is not needed for most of the year. We do have a ceiling fan, a portable fan, and the windows open to help cool the condo down in the event it gets too hot. 

Do I need to bring a towel to the pool/hot tubs?

No, there are towels at the pool but please leave them in the community room towel basket when finished drying off.
