Great mountain view log cabin in Basalt, Colorado close to Aspen!
VRBO Bear stayed here - 09/27/2010
What an amazing property, a true “getaway” gem! My bear family and I felt right at home in this true Real Mountain Log home. There’s a breathtaking view of Mount Sopris from the large living room windows. There is also a second story viewing deck which makes a perfect place to sip coffee and just take it all in. In fact there are 3 "under the tree" viewing patios to get lost in a book or just relax with friends and family. Groups of deer frequent this heavily treed lot, and several other creatures you’ll enjoy watching. With Aspen, Basalt, Carbondale and Glenwood Springs so close, you won’t have to worry about having plenty to do. The only problem will be trying to decide where to spend your time. We spent most our time lounging at the cabin, hiking in Carbondale and having a blast at the Glenwood Hot Springs Pool.
When you think mountain log home, you may think you’re working with the “bear” necessities, but that’s not true here. You’ll have wireless internet, cable/satellite TV, and a giant drop down projector with a Blu-Ray player. There is plenty to keep you physically entertained as well including a billiards/game room area, and ping pong table in the garage. And who can resist a top of the line 7 person (or bear) hot tub?
So, come to the mountains! Relax in the in the master bathroom jetted bathtub, or live it up by riding your mountain bikes to and from Aspen. Whatever kind of vacation you are looking for, this home will deliver. With 2 kitchens and 5 bedrooms you can comfortably sleep 10 and have plenty of room to spare!

The home was very clean and well equiped for all our cooking needs. It slept 12 very comfortably. The home owner was very easy to work with. She offered to let us stay later on our check out day, normally 11:00 a.m., because our party was all arriving late on check-in day.

Our family of 12 really enjoyed this spacious "cabin". No one did w/o, and it was very well stocked with supplies. Large decks with lots of tables and chairs made watching for the wildlife easy from all angles while enjoying the mountain view. The large movie screen was perfect for a large group to recoupe after a day of rafting, zip lining, hot springs etc. Would be beautiful place to stay any season of the year !

We have stayed in this incredible house twice and it was so worth it! On the days we wanted to take it easy, there was plenty to keep our 2 teenage boys busy, but it was still quiet & peaceful - great for swinging on the porch & reading a book. On the days, we wanted to go, go, go, we didn't have to travel far for rafting, horseback riding, hiking, biking or eating! Lourie is an absolute pleasure to work with and bent over backwards to make sure we had a great stay both times. The house is chock full of amenities, immaculate and very comfortable. I have recommended this house to all my friends - I can't say enough about the house, the area or the owner. We hope we can return very soon!

We stayed at this beautiful property for Labor Day weekend! The house is immaculate with all the ammenities you will need! A huge movie screen and over 300 movies to choose from, amazing views from all the windows, a hot tub, pool table, ping pong, bikes etc... the owner is very easy going and helpful! There is a grocery store, restaurants, fast food etc just a few miles away, so even though you feel "away from it all", you can still take advantage of what the area has to offer. We spent most of our time in Aspen, which was about 20 minutes away! A beautiful drive! We would definitely stay there again! Thanks Lourie!

Lovely Views and Plenty of Room

I have to admit, I kept getting mesmerized by the view from the main room. The ambiance of this house is pure Colorado. Lourie's attention to the decor really makes you feel like you are just borrowing a friend's house. Th movie setup was great to have at night. Everything was very clean and the beds were comfortable, so the basics are there too. I stayed here with four different families, including 8 adults and 3 kids, and we all had plenty of room. It was really nice to have the two different kitchen areas. My 7 year old son and his cousin, 6 yrs, loved having a place of their own. And we were happy that it was still part of the house. We all loved staying in this house!

Lourie, The house was great, the view was MAGNIFICENT and our stay was wonderful!!! The house had everything we needed and it was nice to come "home" to at night when we'd been out and about. The guys especially enjoyed the hot tub after their hikes to Guatanche Trail and Mt Sopris. Thanks for sharing your home with us!!!

I recently had the pleasure renting this incredible log home for a week. Upon arrival I was so taken back by the views that I was completely mesmerized! There are not words to describe sitting on the deck, the mountains in the background and watching deer casually stroll around within mere feet of the porch. Sitting out on the porch swing, sipping coffee and lazily daydreaming... I never wanted to leave. This home is very well furnished and so comfortable. Plenty of room for kids, family or extra special as a nice romantic getaway. The evenings were spectacular with some of the most scenic sunsets I have witnessed. The hot tub hit the spot after some nice long hikes. The owner was very helpful and was a pleasure to work with. My advise.... Don't miss the opportunity to stay at this place... You will be coming back...just as I plan to do!!!
