Map & Owner's Profile
Walk to Town, Views Galore!
Year Purchased: 2006
Why the Owner Chose Aspen
Walking distance to town, views, privacy
The Unique Benefits at this House
You're in town....but you're just outside the busy core area, so its quiet and very private. And just a short walk to the Rio Grande walking/biking trail....or to Herron Park, sometimes known as the 'childrens' park'...or to the middle of town and all the excitement & convenience there...
Plus the views are outstanding, from Independence Pass to Mt Sopris. In the master suite, you can wake up to this amazing 180 degree view every morning!
There's wifi internet...in the summer you can bring your computer and work out on one of the patios....
And there are 7 flat screen tv's in the house, along with cable TV and satellite (Direct TV)..
Its about a 10-12 minute walk from our house to Gondola Plaza for access to skiing or hiking up Aspen Mountain
There are many ways to get onto the Rio Grande walking/biking trail from our house...one way is to step out the front door, walk about 20 feet, go down a short incline, cross the Oklahoma Flats bridge
2 bus lines stop within a short distance of the house: The Galena Street Shuttle stops in the summer and winter every 10 minutes or so The Hunter Creek bus runs all year long, every 20 minutes. Bot
Hike the Hunter Creek Trail - less than a 5 minute walk from your front door

this comment came from our Dec 07 renters who gave us a 5 star rating: was perfect place in aspen bwyand london, england. Date Submitted: January 08, 2008 Date of Stay: December 2007 a group of 7 of us just rented this houses in aspen for a week around new year's. it was perfect! it is a very beautiful house with a lot of interesting architectural features, and the arrangements and equipping of the house by the owners was absolutely top notch. the house was very clean and well maintained, and a cleaner was included in the rental cost to work every other day for 3 hours. it is a 10 minute walk to the center of aspen, though it is up a hill a bit and getting home late at night seemed quite a bit tougher than getting into town in the morning, though driving was very easy. this was truly set up as a house to live in right away with amazing amenities such as wifi high speed broadband, televisions everywhere with digital cable and surround sound, a great jacuzzi outdoors and indoors, a sauna, an excellent office with everything needed, a great manual the owners wrote explaining the features of the house and the town, etc etc etc. i would definitely recommend this property, and will be looking forward to returning there myself.

this comment was submitted by our May 2007 renters: THIS PLACE IS JUST UNBELIEVABLE! LOTS OF CHARACTER WOULD BE AN UNDERSTATEMENT, SPECTACULAR VIEWS, QUICK WALK TO TOWN AND TOP OF THE LINE FLAT SCREENS AND STEREO. LAYOUT OF THE HOME IS VERY WELL DESIGNED AND QUITE LARGE. CAN'T SAY ENOUGH-MUST SEE, GORGEOUS IN AND OUT. THIS PLACE WILL MAKE YOUR VACATION.
