The location is superb - short walk to wonderful restaurants and shops, but leaving is hard because of the fabulour Frying Pan just steps out the door. Already planning a return, it can't come quick enough!

Remarkable Refuge along the River

Terrific alternative to a boring hotel room. Perfectly kitted out cabin along the banks of the Frying Pan. Perfect for couple and kids or 2-3 friends. Walk to restaurants and shops in Basalt in 3 minutes. Easy drive to Snowmass and rapid transit parking lots. Loved our stay here as a base for skiing in the valley. Would be extraordinary in summer.

Fantastic location on the river!

Our family of 4 enjoyed our stay at Christy’s cabin- you can’t beat the location. We enjoyed lounging by the river and walking into town to the Tipsy Trout. The kids loved the hammock and it was nice being able to fish right out your door. The cabin was very clean and cozy!

Perfect little retreat

We stayed at the Basalt cabin for three nights and it was perfect for the two of us. We loved the setting and the easy walk to restaurants in town was a plus. 1 short block and you are in town but feel like you are away from everything at the cabin and have privacy from the main house on the property. The owners are super friendly but do not bother you. Their dogs come for a visit daily and we loved that since we missed our dogs at home. You won't be disappointed. The cabin is clean, comfy and cozy and well appointed. We cannot wait to return.

Fall leaf peeping, fishing, painting and relaxing

This is a great location. Close to town but feels more remote. Easy walk to restaurants in town, short drives to fishing access and not too far from Aspen proper and Independence Pass. It is a small but comfortable cabin and nicely decorated. Picnic table and seating right out your door next to the creek. It is situated along the drive to the main house which you can see but felt private enough. They have very cute and friendly dogs who like to say hello. The freestanding gas fireplace heats up the cabin nicely on chilly evenings. There was both a Keurig and drip coffeemakers. The drip has a built in grinder so can take whole or preground beans. It was perfect for the two of us for a few days away to take in he sights, fish, paint and relax.

Favorite Trip

We look forward to this trip every year. From my fly fishing husband to my teenage son to my little daughter we all enjoy being here! Walking in to town for breakfast, having wine by the riverboat night. It’s very cozy and a perfect family trip or romantic trip for two. I’m torn between telling people how wonderful it is or not telling anyone to keep it a secret! I don’t return many places that we travel because I always love something new. This is my one exception….. love it

Wonderful location

Our family of four enjoyed our stay in this wonderful location! The cabin feels secluded and private but is just a couple blocks away from downtown Basalt. It was convenient for us spending time in Basalt, Aspen and Snowmass. The frying pan river is just steps from the door and we enjoyed hearing it at nighttime as well. The cabin is small but very comfortable bed, nice shower/bathroom and kitchen is well stocked for cooking. It’s great for a couple or family with 2 kids. The host family was very helpful and friendly. We look forward to staying again!

Wonderful relaxing time in Basalt!

The cabin was exactly as advertised and perfectly met our expectations. The 1BR, 1 BA + Loft was all that was needed for me, my wife and 2 teenagers. to have a wonderful time. The town is literally only a 5-minute walk away with ample restaurant options. The view of the adjacent river during the day and the sound of the water whooshing by at night make this location really special. The cabin was very clean, linens were nice and plentiful, the bathroom was spacious and accommodating with the double-sink. From here, it's just a 10-minute drive to Snowmass and 15 minutes to Aspen. We would definitely stay there again.

Graduation Getaway

This was a great opportunity to unwind and relax as the river front did not disappoint. It’s a quaint little spot and the walk to town was a short distance. For some great food, stop in at Heather’s or the Brick Pony Pub. Make plans to head to Aspen to enjoy hiking at Maroon Bells but make sure you make a reservation or see, Todd at the T-Lazy 7 Ranch to rent e-bikes. If you enjoy a little water excitement, contact Aspen Whitewater Rafting (AWR) to head down the upper Fork River … this will definitely give you a thrill. We were first time rafters and had a blast.
