About Horace Newhard
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.
Horace Newhard purchased this house in 2000
Why Horace Newhard chose Northwest
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 owns a place nearby 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 and many other events in the area.
What makes this house unique
Ideal climate good skiing year around 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 family reunions.
Guestbook comments from the manager
I have been a enjoying all of the seasons in Aspen and Snowmass since the late 1960s and have stayed in several homes and condos in the area.
My absolute favorite is the Newhard Chalet in Melton Ranch, Snowmass.
The Newhard Chalet, with its expansive views of Owl Creek Road and the Snowmass Club, is modern, comfortable, and outfitted with all of the best amenities. The large kitchen, which is well equipped to handle large groups, and its adjoining dining area, with its two oversized tables and chairs, is the hub of the Chalet.
The entire first floor has soaring ceilings and windows.
There are bedrooms, each with cable TV and baths on all three floors.
The Chalet is within walking distance, via a bike trail on the cul-de-sac, to the City Market of Snowmass and Snowmass Village itself.
Another bonus is the Chalet's hot tub located directly outside of the 1st floor family room

Open airy haven and gateway to great hikes
The Chalet was instantly with it's warm wooden deck to charming welcome sign and caretaker Rick meeting meeting us upon arrival. And it kept getting better. The great room is flooded with light that naturally embraced our group whether we were gathered around the table, cooking together in the spacious kitchen or relaxing around the fireplace-warmed couches. I loved waking up in the master bedroom to wander out on the deck in morning light.
The downstairs was a great place for games, chillaxing and laundry, separate from the great room. Perfect for when your group want to do different activities.
We did two spectacular hikes by just walking out the door -- up to the Rim Trail and a short jaunt to Snowmass Village to pick-up the Vista trail. The house is stocked with great maps with local attractions.
There is tons to do nearby. The spectacular Maroon Bells trails and Aspen town are a short drive away. We enjoyed end-of-hike cocktails at Venga Venga in Snowmass Village. There's even a shuttle if you want to skip the scenic walk home.
The owners were lovely and arrangements were a breeze. You could tell that they love the property/area and are eager to share its delights with guests.
I only wish we had a few more days to play boules and lounge in the hot tub. You won't want to leave!
I would wholeheartedly recommend it to friends or family.
Everything you need to have fun and be comfortable
We had such an amazing time in this beautiful vacation home! Snowmass is a spectacular setting with stunning beauty. And this home was the perfect base for all of our activities. The home is equipped with everything you need to cook and relax and enjoy the mountains. It's clean without being sterile, and it's so comfortable that you feel like you're at a good friend's house. The beds/sheets are very comfortable and the kitchen is stocked with all the basics that you need! Great for a large group or multiple families. I can't wait to come again!
GREAT House/ Fabulous Deck
We were a group of 12 and this house was PERFECT!!! It's a perfect location with a great deck! The house is fully stocked with everything you will need for cooking a feast. The owners were super easy and great to coordinate with as well. It's a must stay house steps from Snowmass Village -- take advantage of the FREE shuttle into Snowmass or Aspen.
Wonderful week at Newhard Chalet
We used the Newhard Chalet for an August family gathering place of 12 from ages 1 through 68. It could not have been more enjoyable. The area affords so many outdoor activity options and this property puts you at the heart of it all. We mountain biked all around the Snowmass area at all levels of difficulty, hiked, summited a 14'er, cooked family dinners in a well equipped kitchen and slept like babies. The Chalet is appointed with art and photos that make guests feel like an extended part of the Newhard family. We WILL be back.
Great home for a family or friend union - summer or winter!
We had a wonderful time staying at this home to celebrate friend's milestone birthdays. The house is beautiful and well laid out. There is a well stocked, open concept kitchen and living area on the main floor with several outdoor "hangout" areas - including hot tub and bocce court, as well as a family room on the lower level which is stocked with books and games. Both floors are comfortable for small or large group gatherings with lots of big windows to see the beautiful scenery. There are also plenty of good sized bedrooms and a large second floor that is great for teens, kids and/or "overflow" adults. We woke up to a beautiful view of the mountains every morning from the master bedroom and enjoyed coffee on the private deck. It's only steps away to the walking/running/bike trails and easy bus access to Snowmass or Aspen Village. We enjoyed great food in both villages and nearby Basalt, the Thursday night concert series on Snowmass mountain, hiking, biking, shopping in the villages, jeep tour, and so much more. We just couldn't get enough and can't wait to come back next summer! This is a perfect property for friends and family reunions or just to get away and relax. We definitely rate it as A++!
Family friendly chalet
The chalet is spacious, comfortably decorated, well appointed and large and roomy. The kitchen is nicely stocked with all you need to feed 20 plus people. We loved the Bocce ball court in front. The beds were very comfortable with comfy linens. It was nice having so many bathrooms. This would be a great place for summer vacations (as it was for us) and perfect for skiing.
