My husband and I are retired and travel to Colorado often but had never explored this part of the state. We definitely chose the best place to stay! This property is amazing. It's close to Aspen (but not too close!) and has the best views of anywhere we've ever stayed. Everything you might possibly need is provided and the layout of the home and everything in it is perfect for relaxing, cooking, dining -- and most of all for enjoying the view of Mount Sopris and the changing light, clouds, and weather. Both sunrise and sunset are visible from the home. Great services are close by (groceries, coffee, restaurants) but the home itself feels secluded and private. Nearby places and activities we enjoyed -- lunch at White House Tavern in Aspen, riding the gondola to the top of Aspen Mountain, dinner at Free Range Kitchen in Basalt, and hiking in the Maroon Bells area. This is a home and area we would love to visit again.
