Big Homes, Big Memories - Plan Your Christmas in July

If you need some relief from the summer heat, start dreaming about (and planning) a holiday vacation in the snow. It starts with picking the perfect home in a Colorado ski resort. Here’s what to look for.


Spacious Living Areas

Picture towering cathedral ceilings with plenty of space for a Christmas tree with all the trimmings and piles of presents around it. And a roaring fireplace to gather around and open gifts or ring in the new year.


Gourmet Kitchens

Imagine large islands for prepping those holiday meals. Fully stocked kitchens for all the cookware and baking pans you’ll need, and double ovens for all the turkeys and roasts and expansive stove tops for preparing all the fixings.


Giant Game Rooms

Some of the best memories of the holidays are laughing over friendly (and sometimes competitive) board and card games; or pool or shuffleboard. Not to mention watching your favorite holidays movies together.


Luxurious Kings & Playful Bunkrooms

While you want to be together to share the spirit of the season, everyone needs their own space and quiet time. Look for homes with plenty of bedrooms and the ideal configuration. Split king beds and bunk rooms are perfect for the kids and teens. The adults will be comfortable in the queen and king bedrooms.

While Moving Mountains luxury vacation rental homes are large enough to comfortably accommodate multi-generational families, there are plenty on a smaller scale if you’re planning a quieter holiday with immediate family or a group of friends.


TOP 5 REASONS TO PLAN YOUR HOLIDAY SKI VACATION EARLY

Why are we talking about Christmas now with summer in full swing? We’re thinking swimming not skiing. However, now is the ideal time to start planning your family holiday vacation to Vail, Beaver Creek, Breckenridge or Steamboat.

1. Best Selection of Vacation Homes

The largest and most desirable properties book quickly, especially during the peak holiday season. By securing your reservation early, you can ensure that you book the perfect home that meets your family’s preferences and needs.

2. Best Prices

Early planning often translates to cost savings. The best prices on our luxury vacation homes are now. So, book your ski chalet in July and free up funds for additional activities or indulgences during your vacation in December.

3. Best Activity Options
Colorado's mountain towns offer exciting outdoor adventures, from skiing and snowboarding to dogsledding and snowmobiling. And these activities book up early for the busy Christmas and New Year holiday weeks. By planning now, you can secure reservations, so you don't miss out on the thrilling experiences that make your winter getaway truly memorable. 

As soon as you’ve booked a Moving Mountains luxury vacation rental home, you’re assigned a dedicated Guest Services Specialist who can assist with all the planning.

4. Less Stress, More Memories

One of the greatest advantages of early planning is the peace of mind it brings. By organizing your ski vacation well in advance, you can eliminate last-minute stress and enjoy the holiday season at home before your trip, and then glide right into your vacation rental and immerse yourself in the joys of the season and creating those cherished moments.

5. Anticipation

By locking in your travel dates, securing your accommodation, and arranging activities ahead of time, you can savor the anticipation for the months ahead. Besides, dreaming of your snowy ski vacation can provide some relief in the middle of a summer heat wave!

Merry Christmas (in July)!
