An eight person hot-tub on the sundeck overlooks the river and also affords mountain and river views.

Exactly as advertised

Group of nine Dads on annual ski trip stayed at the Riverhouse this week and all left with a smile on their face. The house was close to the resorts with many public transit and parking options. The hot tub was amazing. Might be a bit better for families with kids than having a few Dads sleeping in the bunk beds but that’s just us. The house was perfect in all it offered. Comfy, amenities, big kitchen, huge dining room table. We cooked in most nights. And did I mention the hot tub? Brand new. So good…overlooking the river. We never felt crowded. Great heating, hot water, baths, etc. I would rent again with my family.

Great Ski House

This was a very clean, well decorated house that was perfect for our group. The kitchen is well stocked. The house is located 1.8 miles from the Brush Creek Park & Ride which gives you free transportation to all of the Aspen ski slopes. We would definitely stay here again.

Excellent vacation home

I rented this home for a family ski trip and it is exactly as advertised and fit our needs perfectly. The location couldn’t be better! 15 minutes to Aspen, 10 minutes to Snowmass Village, and <10 minutes to the airport puts this house in the perfect place. Do not hesitate to stay here, it’s a great place to gather!! We look forward to renting it again.

2023 family vacation

The Riverhouse was our choice for our annual family vacation-9 adults (17-80) and an eleven year old. Loved the different spaces at the riverhouse-could all be together or find our separate areas. But the deck was the best for coming together! Nice to have en-suite bathrooms for most of the bedrooms! Kitchen was well stocked and had plenty of everything we needed! So much to do in Aspen-Sunday on Aspen mountain, yoga, whitewater rafting on the Arkansas River, Maroon Bells, Snowmass concert on the lawn of Fanny Hill, and woody Creek Tavern! Would love to think we could return! Like Colorado best in the summer! Thanks Bill for sharing your home!

Great location to skiing

We stayed at the Riverhouse home for our Spring break week and couldn't have asked for a better place for our family. The layout of the home was perfect for multiple families. There are plenty of bathrooms and the downstairs space with a pool table and TV area was great for the teens. The kitchen is well stocked with small appliances as well as spices and condiments. It was an easy drive to skiing and into town for dinner.

We just returned from a fabulous ski trip with our family and friends. This house is 3 minutes from the free park and ride bus to Snowmass, Aspen and the other mountains. We found the house to be very spacious and comfortable for our group. The cozy retro style and gorgeous views of this house just added to our experience. The kitchen is well stocked for cooking and had many items and supplies we used a few and left a few more. I recommend checking into the house prior to shopping you may find many things on your list are already there like spices, etc. I would highly recommend staying at this beautiful house on the river. We were visited several times by a number of deer in the yard. Great trip! Thank you so much for sharing your home with us.

Perfect Winter Family Vacation

We very much enjoyed our stay at this property. It was perfect for a family ski vacation. We had 9 or10 people (kids and adults) most nights and there was plenty of room for everyone. We primarily skied at Snowmass, a short 15 minute drive away, even in the snow (which we got a lot of while we were there!). We ate most of our meals at the house - which worked out well. We also enjoyed the hot tub for apres ski. The house is located directly on (and has BEAUTIFUL views of) the Roaring Fork River. We would highly recommend this house for a winter vacation.

Perfect location to Snowmass and Buttermilk

Very spacious. The cabin was nice being spread out over three floors. Very nice recreational area. Views were outstanding. We saw several different types of wild life. Mule deer came out right under the front porch one day, as well as a flock of turkeys. We saw two bald eagles and numerous types of birds. The kids did sledding beside the house.

Awesome Week @ The Riverhouse

The Riverhouse exceeded all expectations. The listing is accurate, plenty of space for a multigenerational family to spread out. The outdoor space and views are beautiful and the river setting is serene, peaceful and more breathtaking than I ever would have imagined. Bill was a tremendous host, responsive and welcoming. We are already discussing plans for next summer.

Aspen Riverhouse ski trip Feb 2022

Had a great stay at the Riverhouse -- big enough for our group of 9 adults (with room to spare)! Private setting backing to peaceful river, while also convenient location to the ski resorts, other outdoor activities and the airport. Owner was great to work with and very flexible - as we moved the dates of our stay to 2022 due to the crazy Pitkin county COVID regulations in 2021. No doubt a great place to stay during the summer as well. Would definitely stay here again.

Why they chose this property

Riverhouse exceeds our needs by allowing room for everyone to have their own space with ample outdoor spaces for children/grandchildren to play in safety. Easy access to world-class fishing and other summer watersports right in your backyard. We especially enjoy being in a more relaxed setting away from the hubbub while having easy access to all the wonders of the Roaring Fork Valley with skiing, hiking, cycling, etc. only minutes away.
