Gerald Ford: never struck us as a "living in a mountainous lap of luxury" type of guy. Turns out, we were wrong. The proof: Governor's Lodge, Jerry's palatial ski-in, ski-out chalet in Vail, available now for your private ski weekends and romps through Beaver Creek. Here's the grand tour, by the numbers.

Odds that had something to do with his two-swims-a-day habit in the chalet's indoor pool: 1:1
Square feet of rustic, woodsy Ford-ness you'll be free to roam inside: almost 10,000
Private ski runs you'll have access to outside: 1
Times you'll yell "mush" on the nearby dogsledding trails: infinite
Bedrooms you'll have to break in: 7
Friends who'll be able to (theoretically) sleep here: at least 16
Recent renovations that involved restoring the presidential seal in the grand entrance: 1
Presidential seals you require for grand entrances: conveniently, 1
Total number of rooms dedicated to couch-filled theaters, spas, wet bars or hot tubs: 4
Percentage of your time you'll spend in the dedicated massage room: 50 to 75, depending on your skiing acumen
Years since the poker/billiards room was last used to house Secret Service agents: 6
Secret Service agents you normally travel with: classified
