Have a nomination for a jaw-dropping listing that would make a mighty fine House of the Day? Get thee to the tipline and send us your suggestions. We'd love to see what you've got.

Location: Vail, Colo.
Price: $16,500,000
The Skinny: Nestled against a ski trail in Vail Village is this overgrown chalet. On the outside everything is rustic stone and wood, but on the inside someone broke out the oil and polished that wood up to a luxurious luster. There's also a sky-lit swimming pool with trellis, a chef's kitchen with massive Wolf range, and an elaborately carved stone mantle. Strangely, there's also a separate "dining gazebo" with rough-wood paneling and basic furnishings. Looks like someone couldn't pick one style. But for $16.5M, they really shouldn't have to.
