We stayed at Marriott's StreamSide Birch using Vacation Club points. It was an excellent decision! Neither of us had ever been to Vail, but we'll certainly be back, and stay at StreamSide again. I had concerns about the age of the unit, after reading other reviews, but everything was just fine. The room was nice, well-maintained and the right size... More

I have two properties at the Doral in Miami and made the exchange with this property. the experience has been the worst. i planned this vacation well in advance and to begin we were not placed together. One group\ was at the Streamside and we were at the Birch. The room is maybe a 350 sq. ft. unit, with very... More

We used "bonus" Marriott Vacation Club points for our 5 night stay. So, I considered these to be "free" nights. The points were going to expire this year. The interior of the condo is old and seems to be a lot of the original furnishings. The TV's have been upgraded to flat screens. Like a lot of the condo's in... More

I started itching about 4 days into 1 week Vacation. Upon returning home I was scratching Violently. I went to the doctor $100 visit and was diagnosed with bedbugs/scabies. They are little 8 legged creatures/parasites that get under your skin of it's host and bury it's body deep under the skin, then produce larva and the eggs hatch producing more.... More

Streamside consists of several buildings and, of course, Birch is one of the further ones. Nevertheless, it's probably about 2-3 min walking to Lobby and Pool area and there is plenty of parking available. It's also on the Hotel shuttle route so you get the same service as people staying in more expensive Douglass building. The only negative is that... More

The 1 bedroom unit we had was spotless and up to date. There is a full kitchen and a gas fireplace in the living room. Our unit also had a balcony. The property is well taken care of with a nice pool and exercise room. It is well situated and within easy walking distance of a Safeway and several excellent... More

We stayed at the Birch building of Marriott Streamside in August and I was a little concerned after reading the previous reviews but I found that the rooms were newly furnished and updated. Flat screens in every room, kitchen and bathrooms updated and a full line up of cable channels which if you have young children can be important. It... More

Note that this building is one of five that USED TO BE managed by Marriott. Cedar is no longer managed by Marriott and it is obviously due to the fact that they would not step up to the standards required. We needed to negotiate 75 stairs to our room (over 90 for the higher floor) with ski eq't and large... More

We originally booked into the Aspen block four years back, and then bought a timeshare unit on eBay dirt cheap for Week 8 in the BIrch building every year. Bear in mind that these units are worked hard by skiers and boarders in the winter, and bikers and hikers all summer and they actually stand up quite well. They're not... More
