Beyond all of this, the amenities of The Sebastian truly enhance the ownership experience. Considered one of the top three restaurants in Vail, The Sebastian’s Block 16 is wine-inspired and an ingredient driven restaurant, thoughtfully executing modern American cuisine. The chef de cuisine, Ezra Duker, puts a strong emphasis on sourcing products from small farmers and unique producers while always seeking the highest quality. Block 16 offers a setting where diners can unwind, reconnect and celebrate at the mountain’s edge. Frost is the local’s favorite – the bar one can never pass by without dropping in. Hip. Warm. Social. With the largest selection of Scotch in Vail Valley, an array of microbrews and a clever cocktail menu, it’s always just right for après ski, before dinner or to enjoy a nightcap. And it’s become known for its celebrity sightings.
The Library is not only the heart of The Sebastian, but the energy and pulse of all things fun. A tranquil retreat set amongst it all, it’s a natural place to gather for wine tastings, light fare, to unwind from the day or wind up for an evening out. The cozy mountain-view pool terrace is fantastic year-round and offers an array of comfortable spaces to enjoy the outdoors. From fireside seating around the fire pit, to unwinding on chaise-lounges scattered about to the four inviting hot tubs, the pool terrace is the best place to be at any point during the day. At the foot of Vail Mountain is Base Camp, the Owners and guests private Ski Valet. Located slopeside, a short walk from The Sebastian, the Ski Valet is the gateway to the mountain – a place to store gear with expert staff members dedicated to keeping it in great shape throughout the season.

Services that make travel effortless, partnerships with brands that enrich and invigorate, and most importantly, reciprocity among the resorts, so that Owners in one destination can discover and enjoy the entire Timbers Resorts portfolio.
