The Vail Shopping
& Logistics Guide

From the luxury boutiques of Bridge Street to the hidden furniture warehouses of Avon. The complete guide for visitors and homeowners.

The Owner's Logistics

Furnishing • Hardware • Provisions

Furnishing a mountain home is a logistical challenge. Locals know to skip the Village for essentials. Here is where we shop for the heavy lifting.

🛋️

Furniture & Decor

The Nest (Avon): High-end mountain modern furniture without the "ski town" markup. They offer white-glove delivery up-valley.

Habitat ReStore (Eagle): The valley's best-kept secret. Find gently used luxury pieces from multi-million dollar renovation projects.

Bulk Provisions

Costco (Gypsum): Located 30 minutes west near the airport. Essential for stocking a rental property for the season.

City Market (Vail): Convenient for last-minute milk and eggs, but pricing reflects the location.

🔨

Hardware & Lumber

Alpine Lumber (Eagle): Where contractors source materials. Critical for renovations.

Ace Hardware (Vail): Located in the West Vail mall. Great for snow shovels, salt, and quick household fixes.

The Flagship

Gorsuch

Walking into Gorsuch is like stepping into a European chalet. Since 1966, this family-owned institution has been the heartbeat of Vail style. It is not merely a store; it is an experience.

Best For: Bogner ski suits, cashmere throws, and antler chandeliers.

📍 Bridge Street
 
 
Western Luxury

Kemo Sabe

The scent of leather hits you the moment you walk in. Famous for their custom "Grit" hats and high-end cowboy boots, Kemo Sabe is where the Old West meets modern luxury.

The Experience: Head upstairs to the private bar while you get your hat branded with your initials.
