So many vacations begin with countless hours spent researching local restaurants, activities, and lodging options, but wouldn’t it be nice to have a destination expert who could coordinate everything for you based on your needs and interests?

Luxury hotels might offer posh rooms and a concierge who works for hundreds of guests, but choosing a private luxury rental puts you at the top of the list of VIPs.

“It’s important to find experts in home placement,” says Kathleen Sedillo, reservations and marketing manager at Triumph Mountain Properties in Vail. “We strive to meet individual needs and create custom experiences.”

In a resort destination with no shortage of luxury options, here are four reasons to book a private home rental for your next visit to Vail.

1. Unique Experiences

Luxury travel experiences are not always created equally, which is why it’s important to find a company that provides more than just lodging. Triumph Mountain Properties carefully selects luxury homes for their location and style. With homes from East Vail to Cordillera, Sedillo says every guest heading to the valley can find their dream vacation home with the right planning and coordination.

Triumph provides 24-hour access to a destination coordinator who customizes a vacation experience long before the guest arrives. She says knowing their guests’ needs and wants helps them create unique experiences and lasting memories.

2. Extreme Personalization

While personalized service is not a new concept in luxury travel, the level at which it’s done is important. Guests staying in hotels, for example, are likely to get bounced around from person to person every time they call prior to a stay. Triumph provides each guest with a custom trip-planning webpage where TMP destination coordinators post information specific to that guest’s vacation. The personalized webpage features everything from details about the home they have booked to transportation arrangements, dining reservations, and recommended excursions, such as snowmobile tours, dog sledding, and more. 

If a guest hasn’t booked something they’ve discussed with their coordinator, such as ski rentals, the coordinator can add a reminder to the webpage to keep trip planning on track. “Every time a guest opens their page, they can conveniently see everything that’s been arranged for their vacation,” Sedillo says. “All you need to do is click on your personal link and you can easily view the specifics of your trip.”

3. Strong Relationships

There’s a motto among Triumph’s destination coordinators they’re proud of: they won’t suggest an activity or restaurant to any guest unless they’ve personally tried it.

“We want to personalize the experience not just because a guest is booking with us, but because it’s personal for us, as well,” says Meagan Pouch, a Triumph destination coordinator. 

Pouch spends time getting to know her clients well before their trip to the Vail Valley. She likes to determine what kinds of excursions people are interested in, whether they enjoy arts and entertainment, fine dining, or the more adventurous side of traveling. 

“I can provide our guests with insider knowledge so they can return home and say, ‘I did amazing things in Vail I never would have known about,’” she says.

4. Amenities

A luxury home rental offers an exclusive gathering space to families who want to feel at home while on vacation. Travelers who enjoy the amenities of luxury hotels can find the same conveniences and more with a private home rental. One unique amenity Triumph offers is the arrangement of an in-home chef who can provide elegant dinners with wine pairings, or pack you a lunch for your day on the slopes.

“If you feel like staying in but want fine dining and prime service, a personal chef is a great option. They can combine the feel of your favorite restaurant, with the comforts of being at home with loved ones,” says Mary Scott, a Triumph destination coordinator.

Destination coordinators also personalize housekeeping schedules to ensure the cleaning is done at a convenient time. Some homes offer indoor lap pools, private hot tubs, home theaters, wine cellars, and game rooms. For Triumph guests who have an interest in fitness and rejuvenation, there is full access to the Vail Vitality Center and Spa. In-home massages, private yoga lessons, and personal training can also be arranged.

“From grocery shopping and delivering your packages, to booking your most memorable adventure, we can do it all,” Scott says. “Sit back, relax, and let us do the planning. It’s what we’re here for.”
