  We went there to see what Colorado was like in the winter. This turned out to be a great place because we could drive in several different directions to try snow shoeing, Nordic skiing, hiking (along Tarryall Road) and gourmet dining and shopping in Breckenridge. Each day we got to come home to a well-equipped, inviting home to watch the sun set over the mountains from the hot tub. A great place to experience what Colorado has to offer in the winter. We know it would be really fun to be there in the spring, summer or fall, too.

  Owner response: Thank you Nancy and Tom for being such gracious and good guests! I very much appreciate all your communiques and this reference. Please consider our home again in the future. Best, Janet

  From Texas and wanted a true winter experience in a warm comfortable quiet cabin/house with great views, fireplace and hot tub. This property exceeded all our expectations. Though it is only a 3 BR 1 bath, it’s an open A-Frame floor plan with incredible views of surrounding mountains. Windows are strategically placed so that you can soak in the beauty. Property is surrounded by magnificent Aspen trees. Large front porch with clean and well maintained hot tub. Snowing and 15 Degrees and the hot tub delivered. The owners were responsive and answered all questions and delivered as promised. Even asked about Champagne glasses just to see if we should bring……in the kitchen two champagne glasses were waiting. Nice touch. There was enough clean burning Aspen firewood to last a winters time. Added bonus, garage. It is tight but with small car it’s great to keep car warm/dry. Even had some snowshoes in event you want to go stomping around after heavy snowfall. The stereo/TV is user friendly and owners know good sound. Bring your DVD’s and an I-pod and you’ll be set, fireplace, music and mountains. Wow. We were fortunate to get 6-8 inches of powder which was great but having a 2WD Sedan was concerned with getting up and down driveway. Local snowplough guy was there that morning to clear driveway. Again…wow. Refund check for damage deposit was sent promptly. As we were there for 6 days, could have used a good vacuum, the one that was in the house was used by previous tenant to clean the fireplace…ARGHHHH… so it was inoperable. Could use a new cheap vacuum cleaner for quick tidying. Location was great as it was next to a state park with many hiking trails and close to Breckinridge in event you would want to ski/shop. Fairplay is 15 minutes away with very good grocery store and other activities including bowling, restaurants and gas stations. You get the mountains but not the Breckinridge crowds/prices. Highly recommend and look forward to our next visit to the chalet. Charles and Leslie

  Owner response: Thanks, C and L. Your descriptions and delights are the same as ours! The peace and quiet and beauty are the real treasures at our place. Resorts and crowds are accessible, if you want them. Recreation in the surrounding area is unbelievable. The hot tub is perfect for both starting and ending the day. Please visit again in summer--a whole other experience!

  Four adults spent the week hunting in the South Park area. Great location with access to the entire South Park area. Cabin was well stocked, comfortable and the owner was very accommodating to our needs. Supplies are close and the cabin is comfortable, and all facilities are in working order and very clean. Home worked out well for us and we will consider returning next year. Local assistance for cooking, grocery buying and errands is available if required. Great extra touch. Thanks for letting us stay at your home.

  Owner response: Thanks to you and your group! This area is so rich in recreation and beauty and CO history. A week's stay allows you to do and see a lot. Of course, just hanging at the house with a good book or music is rejuvenating too. South Park continues to add great amenities in coffee shops, cute shops and eateries. Please visit us again. Best, jmc

  The cabin was more than we expected. The space, trees, hot tub on the deck all provided a relaxing private environment for my wife and I to enjoy it all and each other. The interior space was surprisingly well appointed, with simple items that go a long way. Good quality cookware, matching glassware etc. Not what you find in every weekend getaway. The cabin was comfortable and peaceful. It was hard to leave... Thanks again Janet and Ed. Hope to visit again soon. Danny & Tiffany

  Our Colorado vacation was a wonderful experence with our stay at the Aspen Grove Chalet. It provided the privacy we looked for. The views and wildlife was amazing. The chalet was perfect, clean and comfy. Thanks so much for letting us stay at your wonderful place.

  Owner response: Thank you,N! Comfy, cozy, clean--that's our cabin. Though it is a great base camp for all sorts of activity and recreation, many folks just like to stay put once they get there. Please visit again!

  Just returned home from my time at Aspen Grove and wanna go back. Right now. Our, fortunately, uneventful roadtrip was rewarded with the perfect landing spot. The home is beautiful and well-kept/equipped without being "untouchable". Janet's directions were excellent and would have been more effective if we weren't brain dead from the overnight trip :). Breakfasted in the exquisite bustling Breckenridge - a short beautiful drive. Took a nap at a campground on the Continental Divide waiting for check- in time. PRATHER'S in Fairplay is THE stock up spot and not outrageous in their prices but expect higher gas prices. There are various convenience stores in Faiirplay and Bailey that provide emergency items. The Java Moose in Fairplay is the Rockies answer to Starbucks and exceeds that role. We also explored the other direction to Bailey and dined at THE CUTTHROAT CAFE - a family establishment that made our tummies happy. Unfortunately, real life intruded for just a bit, so there is a well-equipped library just north of Bailey with printers and faxes. Boo. Didn't see much wildlife - but probly my own fault for "sleeping in" in that comfy king bed in the loft - vacation after all. Spent the rest of the time making scrumpdiliicious meals, hiking "the loop" around the cabin seeing outrageous mountain views, soaking in the delicious hot tub with sky full of stars and of course OLYMPIC VIEWING. Did I mention the hot tub? We had glorious rain showers the first three days with temps in the 70s - 80s daytime and 50s at night. Did I mention I'm from Texas - nuf said. Internet/ satellite tv were reliable (thank goodness -olympics). Janet n Ed appear to have an enticing video library - there was just no time. Aspen Grove is private for singing/guitar playing but not isolated. I finished my book! Flatlanders of a certain age- respect the altitiude! Fellow hikers and townsfolk were all friendly and appeared happy to be where they were. Don't blame them - would like to be one of them. If you are searching and trying to decide - have no reservations about your decision. Thanks again, Janet and Ed, for sharing your home and peace with us. Did I mention the hot tub? :)

  We recently made a trip to Jefferson for a wedding and long weekend of relaxation. Upon arrival to the cabin it was everything we could have asked for. The cabin is very easy to access and the views that welcome you off of the front porch are amazing. The cabin itself was very clean and had plenty of room for everyone in our party. The hot tub was also a great perk that was perfect in the cool evenings. The owner's were great to work with also, they kept in contact and I even received my deposit less than a week from my departure. If you are looking for a great week or weekend getaway I highly recommend the cabin.

  Owner response: Thank you, B. Glad you and your party enjoyed our place and took such nice care with it. The cool dry mountain air is great respite from the heat and humidity of the flatlands in summertime. Come back again for the colors of autumn or the snows and beauty of winter. J and E

  We had a great three day weekend at Aspen Grove. It was located in a quiet and beautiful area. The home was clean and inviting. We had everything we needed and were so happy we could bring our dogs. We wished we had more time to explore the area. We would love to stay again!

  Recommended for: Pet owners.

  Owner response: Thank you S and J. Glad you enjoyed our home. Do come back to explore more of the area--excellent fishing, hiking, wildlife and flower viewing, etc. it is especially beautiful in the fall when the aspen are gold. We have added a bumper pool land card table too!

  Thanks for the opportunity to get out of town and burn off some boys' energy. The kids loved helping clear trees to gather firewood and tidy up the yard! We adults enjoyed coffee and watching from the window and deck. Crazy mix of weather--snowstorm Friday night, but burned off to glorious sunshine Saturday afternoon. Saw a lot of wildlife this visit--pronghorn antelope Friday night, herd of elk on Saturday and even had 4-5 deer grazing in the front yard for Saturday sunset. Happy Mother's Day for all of us. Thank you.

  What a nice getaway to the mountains--we had super weather and took many drives over the mountain passes. We even got to play in snow (Boreas Pass) on the 4th of July! We visited Lake Jefferson, Tarryall Reservoir and Breckenridge--all very fun and very different. Classic Rocky Mountain scenery--aaahhh. Our favorite moments were nights in the hot tub, relaxing on the quiet deck and the drive over Boreas Pass. Most comfy cabin in an excellent setting--the mountain air was so very nice. Thank you!
