Official site of the Austria Haus Club

The Austria Haus Club is a private, member-owned club comprising spacious two, three and three bedroom penthouse residences and an elegant clubhouse. The Club has a streamside location in the heart of Vail Village, next to the Covered Bridge. Club amenities include a reception lobby, members' lounge, ski locker room, fully-equipped health club, heated outdoor swimming pool and hot tub, heated and secure underground parking and long-term clothing/equipment storage for each membership.

Title is evidenced by a real estate deed which is recorded and is guaranteed by a title insurance policy. Each member owns a debt-free undivided deeded interest in one of the Club's elegantly furnished private residences. Each member also owns an undivided deeded interest in the common areas.

The Private Residence club is designed to: 1) Provide more convenience, services and amenities than are provided by an equally luxurious condominium development; 2) Provide members with as much vacation use as a typical vacation homeowner uses his or her vacation home; 3) Match the purchase price with this owner usage.

Because you are only paying for the time you use, fractional ownership can be a more cost effective way to vacation in the most desirable locations around the world.

The bottom line is clear: Fractional ownership allows you to enjoy all of the ownership privileges of a top of the line luxury resort condo at a fraction of the cost of whole ownership. Ownership is hassle free. In addition to top of the line services at your disposal, you never have to worry about repairs, maintenance or housekeeping. Everything is taken care of for you.

Austria Haus is offering a total of nine memberships for each Club residence. The total number of memberships will never exceed nine per residence.

Private residence clubs or fractional ownerships have been developed in several exclusive world-class resorts, particularly at western ski resorts in North America, including the Deer Valley Club in Park City, Utah and the Franz Klammer Lodge in Telluride, CO.

As a private resort club, Austria Haus Club gives members access to all Club residences of their membership type and all Club facilities with the right to use them anytime, subject to reservation policies.
