Summary of reviewsSpacious, clean house with comfortable beds, great location, and beautiful views. Owners are responsive and accommodating. Highly recommended.
10 / 10Outstanding·Feb 2025
We stayed for 10days and combined working and skiing from the house. The layout of the house is great for this purpose as it has a separate office space and tv room to work from. Internet was spotless even for streaming multiple online meetings at the same time. The bathrooms can use an upgrade, but were clean. There is a lot of light in the house and great views. Kitchen was well equipped. Recommended for trip to Aspen Snowmass.

This home had plenty of space for 5 of us, with a 3 full beds and 2 pull out couches and a well-stocked kitchen. The property manager greeted us and was very responsive to our messages. Two complaints about this property are:
1) The driveway to this property is a hilly dirt road. We got stuck trying to leave one morning because it was all iced over, and had to call a towing company. Definitely recommend getting an AWD car with snow tires.
2) The cleanliness of the bathrooms weren’t great. There were stains in the toilet and on the floor.
Overall, I probably wouldn’t rent this property again because we’re learning that while it’s more expensive staying closer to the ski lifts is a priority for our group.

The place is located in a very nice area.
You need a car. Quick drives to Aspen, Carbondale, Basalt, Maroon Bells.
The house has no air conditioning but since we did outings during, by the time we were back the temperatures were very nice. There is a nice patio with a view where we had breakfast in the morning and drinks in the eve.
There was an issue with a funny smells coming from outside but owners took care of. Communication was great.
