We had an amazing & relaxing time, and never could get enough of the views day and night.
The house had everything we needed for our stay, the host was very responsive and answered all our questions. The house was clean, and we loved the decor. We had some concerns about the temperatures being in the mid 90's with no a/c, but you don't need it, the house stays nice and cool if you close it up mid morning. The elevation is pretty high too, so that helped.
We took the exposed road that is a lot quicker to the house, it's just a quick 2 minute stretch of heart racing don't look out the side window portion of the road that my husband had no issues driving. So that is up to you and your comfort zone, the road itself is good and doesn't require 4wd in the summer. No way I'd get on that in the winter, but we are flatlanders.
We rented a couple of e-bikes in town and attempted to ride on some of the trails around the house, they were a bit much for my skill level but the roads were good for riding. A must do during you stay is if you continue on the road past the house, you will come to a dead end at Lookout Mountain and it is an amazing place to watch the sunset over the canyon.
It is a little bit of a drive to get to town, but if you are looking or a place to unwind and relax, this is the place! It is also a nice launching point to go to Basalt and Snowmass.
We would definitely recommend this spot!
