Map & Owner's Profile
Best Location in Aspen! Luxurious Downtown Penthouse Ski 2blks
Year Purchased: 1993
Why the Owner Chose Other Aspen Properties
I was drawn to Aspen back in 1968 while vacationing in college then returned on my honeymoon in 1969. I especially liked the people. Of course, everyone expects the winters to be fantastic and they are for skiing and snowmobiling, but the summers are equally as good. I make the most of them road/dirt biking, mountain biking, paragliding, hiking, rollerblading, tennis and fly-fishing. Aspen is a perfect all year around destination.
The Unique Benefits at this Condo
There is great dining and entertainment just step outside the front door. I particularly enjoy Jimmy’s an American Restaurant & Bar, Cache Cache, Campo de Fiori for Italian, Pinons for fine dining, Krabloonik for game, and the Pine Creek Cookhouse is perfect for a sleigh ride or cross country skiing through the snow covered forest. The Penthouse is located in downtown Aspen within walking distance to 10-15 restaurants. The gondola to Aspen Mountain is 2 1/2 blocks away. Shuttle stop access to Snowmass and Aspen Highlands is around the corner by McDonald’s.

Owner was very easy to work with, super informal and accommodating. The location is amazing during the day...walking distance to everything, literally right in the center of town. However, if you are a light sleeper or stay at a time when you'd like to have the windows open for the spring/summer/fall night air, you may have evening issues. One side of master bedroom windows faces an alley, so you get the dumpster noises/traffic; the other side faces a bar, so there was signficant "partying" noise from ~10pm to 3am. We are early risers, hence early to bed, so this was a bit of a problem for us. If you are the partying type and are out enjoying it yourself or have everything closed up, you'd probably be fine. The unit itself is nice (could use just a little bit more thorough cleaning/care, but overall nice). We had two couples for most of the trip and it was plenty large and accommodating for us. Note it is a "penthouse suite", so there is a flight of stairs without elevator, so if you are older or disabled at all, please take note. They are pet friendly, which is great and located close to necessary "grass". Would definitely recommend and stay again; thanks Barry!

I have stayed at this beautiful penthouse twice now ,as it is my favorite place to stay in Aspen. The location is perfect as it is in the heart of everything. The price, for what you get, is a deal- your own private hot tub on the roof overlooking the mountain, a spacious place to entertain, European antique furnishings and the owner is a joy to deal with. I didn't write about it the first time I stayed there because I didn't want anyone else to know about it but the owner is such a nice guy; I want the best for him. Hopefully, there will be room for me as long as I book in advance. It is worth it! I just booked it for next Christmas and New Year's 2011. Can't wait!

What a unique and fantastic property! My wife and our friends had the ski vacation of our lives here. Comfortable and luxurious. Plenty of space (hard to find roomy accom in Aspen) - ideal for 2 couples - character filled with antiques and collectibles as you can see from the photos - not some bland condo. Good value compared to most commercial properties. You couldn't ask for a better location - right next to the Hyman Ave mall, with most of the popular restaurants and shops within a 2 block radius. Right above the E.S. Lawrence gallery and Dishaspen restaurant. Rubey Park buses only a 2 minute stroll up Galena, past the malls, though the Ajax gondola is about 3.5 blocks away (still do-able in ski boots if you must). And nothing quite like lounging back in the roof top spa with friends after a hard day's skiing, drink in hand, looking up at Ajax as they groom the runs. We'd stay here again in a heartbeat.
