Cory from Snow Ventures located in Breckenridge sent us this picture of their Travel Agency’s mascot with the Antlers “Antlers”. That dog really looks happy.

As a Vail pet friendly lodging option some of our four legged guests need some recognition too! Muffin one of our most loyal guests visited us again this March and as always it was a joy having her around. She never shies away from getting dressed up for any occasion, and always makes sure to stop by the front desk to show off her outfit of the day. We look forward to seeing her again along with the Bensingers, her gracious owners!
Come visit us for a casual, funfilled afternoon celebrating the wintery breeds. Bring your Husky, Bernie, St. Bernard or Elkhound.

The Antlers at Vail hotel is one of the few pet friendly lodging options in Vail. But always tell your reservationist, as pet friendly units are extremely limited at the Antlers.
While this week’s theme for Vail Restaurant Month is Love Fest we don’t want to forget about how loving our pets also means providing them with a healthy diet. This week we are featuring a class demonstrating how to make some treats at home for your dog. It is also a fun family activity!
As part of the Vail Restaurant Month the Antlers at Vail will be presenting a seminar on healthy diet for your dog. For most of us our pets are an extension of our family, and like our family we want to keep them as happy and healthy as we can for as long as we can.
Ben Nelson, DVM, with over 34 years of experience as a practicing Veterinarian, will cover Diet necessities for your dog to live a long, healthy, and active life. Dr. Nelson, a Biology professor at New Mexico Highlands University along with his General Veterinary practice, has extensive hands on and educational experience with many of the common canine ailments.
This event will feature a 45 minute presentation by Dr. Nelson and a 45 minute question and answer session.
When: Sunday October 3, 2010 Time: 10:00am to 11:30am Cost: Lodging package $145 for a studio condominium and 1 space for seminar. Additional attendees or without lodging $25 per person. $20 for Eagle county residents.Antlers at Vail Offers Value, Autumn Adventures for Canines & Companions
Vail, Colorado – May 10, 2010 – Kenneling the family dog during a vacation can be ruff — er, rough on everyone. That’s why the Antlers at Vail hotel has licked the dilemma by welcoming four-legged guests and stocking a bottomless bowl of dog biscuits in the front lobby to help canines feel at home the minute they arrive. “We recognize that many people consider their dogs to be full-fledged members of the family,” says general manager Rob LeVine, owner of Magpie, a 15-year-old dog of ‘mixed’ descent. ”We offer dedicated rooms just for pet owners, and our staff is always happy to recommend canine-friendly activities in the area.”
Many families travel to Vail in the autumn, when the Rocky Mountains are blanketed in gold as the region’s famous aspen trees change color. There are a number of spectacular areas in and around the Vail Valley to view the glorious foliage, including plenty of pet-friendly hiking trails. Ania Savage, author of “Best Hikes with Dogs: Colorado” recommends a trek to nearby Wheeler Lakes as a scenic half-day hike for families and canines. “The meadow and the lakes offer a lovely spot for some dog frolicking and a picnic lunch,” she says. For a day hike, Savage suggests Pitkin Lake as a “strenuous-yet-satisfying hike because of the continuous presence of clear, gurgling Pitkin Creek, the shaded trail, and meadows where there is plenty of room to romp and roll among the summer grasses and wildflowers.” The Antlers at Vail staff can provide guests with additional information and directions to both trailheads.
The Antlers offers special savings of 25% off on autumn lodging from September 7 through November 17, 2010, with rates for a one-bedroom pet-friendly suite starting at just $210 per night. Autumn is a wonderful time to experience the Vail Valley; summer crowds are gone, the days are sunny, the evenings are cool — and the values can’t be beat. Along with the stunning scenery, Vail has numerous autumn festivals and events including the always-popular Oktoberfest (Sept.10-12 and 17-19, 2010) and new this year, Vail Restaurant Month (Sept. 20 – Oct. 17, 2010).
Since 1972, the Antlers has offered a unique Vail lodging experience in a relaxed mountain setting. Recently named the ‘Green Business of the Year’ by the Vail Valley Partnership Success Awards, the Antlers Vail condominiums is also proud to be a Green Star-rated business. With condominiums ranging from studio suites up to four bedrooms and plenty of space to spread out, each room at the Antlers offers all the comforts of home including fully-equipped kitchens, fireplaces, outdoor balconies, free Internet access and free parking in a heated indoor garage. The Antlers Vail is conveniently located in the Lionshead area of Vail with numerous restaurants, galleries and shops within walking distance, and the free Vail town shuttle stops just footsteps away.
