European-inspired and one of Colorado\u2019s most celebrated mountain properties, it offers that hard-to-nail combination of comfort and sophistication.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The highlight for me? The pools. Plural. Three outdoor saltwater hot tubs and an outdoor saltwater pool with panoramic sundeck views, plus an indoor lap pool and hot tub that became my favorite hangout spot after long days outside. Add in a steam room, dry sauna, fitness center, and even a game room (we may or may not have gotten a little too competitive at the foosball table), and you\u2019ve got a stay that blends wellness with play.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Dinner here is its own event: The Charter Steakhouse. The restaurant\u2019s \u201cColorado Kitchen\u201d philosophy highlights local ingredients, from ranch beef to seasonal produce, all paired with sweeping mountain views. It\u2019s the kind of place where the setting rivals the food, but the food more than holds its own.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-gallery has-nested-images columns-2 is-cropped wp-block-gallery-1 is-layout-flex wp-block-gallery-is-layout-flex\">\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><a href=\"https:\/\/bucketlistjourney.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/09\/The-Charter-at-Beaver-Creek-Bathroom.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"768\" height=\"1024\" data-id=\"74824\" src=\"https:\/\/bucketlistjourney.net\/wp-content\/smush-webp\/2025\/09\/The-Charter-at-Beaver-Creek-Bathroom-768x1024.jpg.webp\" alt=\"The Charter at Beaver Creek Bathroom\" class=\"wp-image-74824\" srcset=\"https:\/\/bucketlistjourney.net\/wp-content\/smush-webp\/2025\/09\/The-Charter-at-Beaver-Creek-Bathroom-768x1024.jpg.webp 768w, https:\/\/bucketlistjourney.net\/wp-content\/smush-webp\/2025\/09\/The-Charter-at-Beaver-Creek-Bathroom-225x300.jpg.webp 225w, https:\/\/bucketlistjourney.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/09\/The-Charter-at-Beaver-Creek-Bathroom.jpg 900w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 768px) 100vw, 768px\" \/><\/a><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><a href=\"https:\/\/bucketlistjourney.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/09\/The-Charter-at-Beaver-Creek-Room.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"768\" height=\"1024\" data-id=\"74825\" src=\"https:\/\/bucketlistjourney.net\/wp-content\/smush-webp\/2025\/09\/The-Charter-at-Beaver-Creek-Room-768x1024.jpg.webp\" alt=\"The Charter at Beaver Creek Room\" class=\"wp-image-74825\" srcset=\"https:\/\/bucketlistjourney.net\/wp-content\/smush-webp\/2025\/09\/The-Charter-at-Beaver-Creek-Room-768x1024.jpg.webp 768w, https:\/\/bucketlistjourney.net\/wp-content\/smush-webp\/2025\/09\/The-Charter-at-Beaver-Creek-Room-225x300.jpg.webp 225w, https:\/\/bucketlistjourney.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/09\/The-Charter-at-Beaver-Creek-Room.jpg 900w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 768px) 100vw, 768px\" \/><\/a><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><a href=\"https:\/\/bucketlistjourney.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/09\/The-Charter-at-Beaver-Creek.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"900\" height=\"675\" data-id=\"74823\" src=\"https:\/\/bucketlistjourney.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/09\/The-Charter-at-Beaver-Creek.jpg\" alt=\"The Charter at Beaver Creek\" class=\"wp-image-74823\" srcset=\"https:\/\/bucketlistjourney.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/09\/The-Charter-at-Beaver-Creek.jpg 900w, https:\/\/bucketlistjourney.net\/wp-content\/smush-webp\/2025\/09\/The-Charter-at-Beaver-Creek-300x225.jpg.webp 300w, https:\/\/bucketlistjourney.net\/wp-content\/smush-webp\/2025\/09\/The-Charter-at-Beaver-Creek-768x576.jpg.webp 768w, https:\/\/bucketlistjourney.net\/wp-content\/smush-webp\/2025\/09\/The-Charter-at-Beaver-Creek-500x375.jpg.webp 500w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 900px) 100vw, 900px\" \/><\/a><\/figure>\n<\/figure>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-text-color has-global-color-7-color has-alpha-channel-opacity has-global-color-7-background-color has-background\"\/>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Shop &amp; Stroll at Beaver Creek Village&nbsp;<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Just a short walk from The Charter is <a href=\"https:\/\/www.beavercreek.com\/explore-the-resort\/the-village\/beaver-creek-village.aspx\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Beaver Creek Village<\/a>, the heart of the resort community and a spot that feels straight out of a European alpine town.

Our guide, Jennifer, was equal parts driver, storyteller, and wildlife expert.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The tour tops out at 11,440 feet, with stops at ski runs that look almost surreal without their winter coats. We paused at Beano\u2019s Cabin, listened to stories about local wildlife, and took in sweeping views that, at one point, included a fresh dusting of snow. The ride itself isn\u2019t fast or wild\u2014more bumpy and scenic than adrenaline-pumping\u2014but that worked for me.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-gallery has-nested-images columns-2 is-cropped wp-block-gallery-4 is-layout-flex wp-block-gallery-is-layout-flex\">\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><a href=\"https:\/\/bucketlistjourney.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/09\/4X4-Mountain-Tour-Beaver-Creek.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"768\" height=\"1024\" data-id=\"74835\" src=\"https:\/\/bucketlistjourney.net\/wp-content\/smush-webp\/2025\/09\/4X4-Mountain-Tour-Beaver-Creek-768x1024.jpg.webp\" alt=\"4X4 Mountain Tour Beaver Creek\" class=\"wp-image-74835\" srcset=\"https:\/\/bucketlistjourney.net\/wp-content\/smush-webp\/2025\/09\/4X4-Mountain-Tour-Beaver-Creek-768x1024.jpg.webp 768w, https:\/\/bucketlistjourney.net\/wp-content\/smush-webp\/2025\/09\/4X4-Mountain-Tour-Beaver-Creek-225x300.jpg.webp 225w, https:\/\/bucketlistjourney.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/09\/4X4-Mountain-Tour-Beaver-Creek.jpg 900w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 768px) 100vw, 768px\" \/><\/a><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><a href=\"https:\/\/bucketlistjourney.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/09\/4X4-Mountain-Tour-Colorado.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"768\" height=\"1024\" data-id=\"74836\" src=\"https:\/\/bucketlistjourney.net\/wp-content\/smush-webp\/2025\/09\/4X4-Mountain-Tour-Colorado-768x1024.jpg.webp\" alt=\"4X4 Mountain Tour Colorado\" class=\"wp-image-74836\" srcset=\"https:\/\/bucketlistjourney.net\/wp-content\/smush-webp\/2025\/09\/4X4-Mountain-Tour-Colorado-768x1024.jpg.webp 768w, https:\/\/bucketlistjourney.net\/wp-content\/smush-webp\/2025\/09\/4X4-Mountain-Tour-Colorado-225x300.jpg.webp 225w, https:\/\/bucketlistjourney.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/09\/4X4-Mountain-Tour-Colorado.jpg 900w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 768px) 100vw, 768px\" \/><\/a><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><a href=\"https:\/\/bucketlistjourney.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/09\/4X4-Mountain-Tour-View.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"900\" height=\"675\" data-id=\"74834\" src=\"https:\/\/bucketlistjourney.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/09\/4X4-Mountain-Tour-View.jpg\" alt=\"4X4 Mountain Tour View\" class=\"wp-image-74834\" srcset=\"https:\/\/bucketlistjourney.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/09\/4X4-Mountain-Tour-View.jpg 900w, https:\/\/bucketlistjourney.net\/wp-content\/smush-webp\/2025\/09\/4X4-Mountain-Tour-View-300x225.jpg.webp 300w, https:\/\/bucketlistjourney.net\/wp-content\/smush-webp\/2025\/09\/4X4-Mountain-Tour-View-768x576.jpg.webp 768w, https:\/\/bucketlistjourney.net\/wp-content\/smush-webp\/2025\/09\/4X4-Mountain-Tour-View-500x375.jpg.webp 500w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 900px) 100vw, 900px\" \/><\/a><\/figure>\n<\/figure>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-text-color has-global-color-7-color has-alpha-channel-opacity has-global-color-7-background-color has-background\"\/>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Lunch at Blue Moose Pizza<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Back in the village, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.bluemoosepizza.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Blue Moose Pizza<\/a> was calling.

Keller Williams\u2019 Grateful Grass, a bluegrass spin on Grateful Dead favorites. The energy was electric, the music contagious, and the front-row balcony seats gave us the perfect view (though we did sneak down into \u201cthe pit\u201d for a closer look at the stage).<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The Vilar hosts year-round performances\u2014think Broadway musicals, comedy, dance, family shows, and concerts\u2014and many offer perks like complimentary drinks and pre-show
