Kirkwood Housing

Eligibility and Bookings

Are you looking to join one of our communities? We’d love to hear your interest by applying for housing!

As demand is high in many of our resort communities, Employee Housing prioritizes individuals who are or will be working for Vail Resorts during the season. To care for this demand and ensure equal opportunity, we work diligently to place employees before they arrive to their resort location. Due to limited spaces, if you do not get approved for housing prior to your arrival, please know that we will not be able to accommodate walk in requests. If you’re excited about the possibility of staying with us, please explore our offerings below and submit a housing application!

Curious about how the application process works? We’ve got you covered! Take a look at our Knowledge Base Article (KBA):How do I apply for Employee Housing?

About Kirkwood

Magical, raw, expansive and remote, Kirkwood is the stuff of legend. With the deepest, driest snow around and some of North America's most diverse and challenging terrain, Kirkwood offers big mountain riding with small town attitude. It's about adventure and challenge. Discovery from exploration. Personal satisfaction, from personal challenge. At the end of the day, a uniquely rewarding experience that can only be had at a handful of places on Earth. Tucked away about 35 miles southwest of South Lake Tahoe, Kirkwood is out of the way but the reward is well worth the effort of finding it. Our unique location atop the Sierra Crest combined with elevations ranging 7,800 to 9,800 feet create a little something we like to call the K-Factor – a geographical predisposition to receive the lightest, the driest, and the most plentiful snow in the Tahoe region. With 2000 feet of vertical drop, and over 2300 acres of terrain from calm groomed beginner runs to hair raising cornices, cliffs and the most high angle grooming around, there’s something for everyone at the 'Wood. In the summertime, Kirkwood turns into a picturesque high alpine adventure playground! World class rock climbing, hiking, mountain biking, horseback riding and fishing are all just within a stone's throw of the resort. Fields of wildflowers will take your breath away during the summer months, and the turning aspens make a beautiful backdrop during the fall months.
