About this property

Newhard Chalet - Big House Convenient Location Great for Groups Families Friends

Great for multi-generational family gatherings or groups of friends.

The original Newhard Chalet, built by the Newhard family, was the first vacation home in Snowmass Village, built in 1967. The current Newhard Chalet is a more contemporary mountain house, built in 2000. The home is on three levels on 1/2 acre adjoining a greenbelt, with aspen and spruce trees framing the house. Lots of areas for spending time together as a group, but also spaces to get away and recharge.

Enter the Chalet into a great room with a comfy seating area around the fireplace with a wall-mounted television, a dining area with two oval tables with seating in captain's chairs for up to 20 people, and a large, very well-equipped kitchen, all with valley and mountain views. Guest half-bath on the main level. The master bedroom with its own deck and full ensuite bath is located off the living room. Entry from living/dining area to deck with gas barbecue and all-weather chairs and tables.

The upper level leads to a loft bedroom with 2 twins and a balcony loft with 2 twins, plus a bathroom with a shower. The lower level has 3 queen bedrooms, a family room, 2 full baths, and a washer/dryer. The family room opens onto a lower patio with a large hot tub.

Free high-speed WiFi.

Exterior video surveillance at the entry, driveway/garage, and greenbelt area.

TVs in the family room, living room, and master bedroom - the family room has a DVD player with a selection of videos.

This place is one of the best we have stayed in. We enjoyed the location to Snowmass mountain, about a mile from the village. The bus stops right off the main road in front of the house. The kitchen was perfectly stocked with everything we needed for making breakfast. We also enjoyed the hot tub after a day of skiing. We would definitely stay here again!

5 stars is too low a score for this house! It is warm and inviting, beautifully organized and set up for a large group and close to everything. The owner is wonderful - and there is an onsite (over garage) manager as well. The home is steps from the shuttle, so trips to the mountain or to Aspen (or other mountains) are just steps away. We only used the car for one trip!This is our favorite out of all the homes we have rented over the years.

House was clean and matched the photos. It was about a mile from Snowmass Village and the free bus picks you up at the bottom of the hill. Lots of chairs and common spaces to gather with friends and family. Persie was great to communicate with and the onsite property manager was really helpful. We were there at peak fall and loved the views.

Everything you need in a fabulous location

We loved our stay at Newhard Chalet. The house had a great layout for our group of 10 (6 adults and 4 kids). You can tell the owners are very thoughtful with so many kitchen supplies and labeled instructions throughout the house. The location was great - easy access to both Aspen and Snowmass. We will definitely be back!

Snowmass visit in July

We had a GREAT time at this roomy house. We appreciated the 2 living areas and having 4 full bathrooms the powder room since there were 9 of us comfortably staying here. The bocci court and the hot tub were both great. We walked into Snowmass Village along the trail while the 7 year old and his dad biked. We were amazed at how many garbage pick-ups there were (4th of July, Sunday morning, daily). Many thanks for a wonderful stay!

About the host

Hosted by Persie Newhard Nakonechny & Bix (Horace) Newhard

Host profile image
My daughter Persie helps with rental communications. That's us in the photo - skiing together.

I built the original house with my brother and friends in 1967. We were the first to receive a certificate of occupancy in the newly opened Snowmass Ski Resort. I continue to visit Snowmass frequently with family and friends.
The area is quite beautiful year round with world class sports, art and music activities ongoing. Events are suitable for a mix of ages and abilities.

Why they chose this property

I began skiing in Aspen with my brother in 1961, and had the opportunity to get in on the ground floor of Snowmass Ski Resort. My sister's children own a place nearby (the Snoke Chalet) and we created family vacations throughout the year to enjoy the area and each other's company.
Skiing conditions are unbelievably good, with splendid snow conditions and attention to grooming the hills throughout the ski season.
In addition to ski season, Snowmass Village is a lovely get-away for family and friends at all times of the year. Summer season is the time for the Aspen Music Festival, Balloon Festival, Aspen Food & Wine, and many other events in the area, as well as enjoying the Lost Forest adventure area on Snowmass Mountain.

What makes this property unique

Very well stocked kitchen for cooking for large groups. Ideal climate, great skiing, year round leisure. Excellent snow conditions are typical during the ski season. Off season offers many options for leisure, such as hiking, golfing, fishing, biking, fine dining, horseback riding, river rafting in summer, the beauty of seasonal changes, and a great place for multi-generational family and friends get-togethers.
