The house is amazing, hidden from the street and built into the side of the mountain with a glass roof. The many levels and en-suite baths gave us and our two grown sons and partners lots of privacy and together space. The kitchen is fully stocked for cooking. We enjoyed the steam shower and hot tub as well.

We had a great stay at this house. The space was very spacious, which made it perfect for our group, and there were plenty of comfortable areas to hang out, relax, and spend time together. The layout made it easy for everyone to have their own space while still feeling connected. The home itself is very unique and has a lot of character, which made the experience even more memorable. Overall, it was a great place to stay and we would definitely consider coming back. The host was very accommodating as well.

Great house with lots of privacy

The house was really amazing. Had everything we could have needed or asked for. 4 levels of bedrooms so each couple had their own area and that allowed for utmost privacy. Kitchen was fully equipped, and the hot tub and steam shower was a nice added bonus. Bathrooms were spacious and convenient to sleeping areas. Multiple den areas. Easy to relax.

Beautiful Thanksgiving in Aspen

This is a very unique property, situated to take in the magnificent views Aspen has to offer - it's really quite incredible. Each bedroom has its own balcony, along with a balcony for the main living area. You have beautiful views of Aspen, as well as the Roaring Fork River, and the town of Aspen.

FABULOUS

It is a wonderful property where we have stayed yearly. It has spacious bedrooms & bathrooms far enough from each other, so everyone has privacy. In addition there are stacks of wood and kindling so every night we could be cozy around the fireplace playing games & watching TV. It is truly a special place that the owners share with us!

We had a great stay at this house. Check-in was so easy with timely messages for entry. The house was just as described. We had 3 generations so it was nice to have a multi-level place which gave a little more privacy. The bedrooms were comfortable, and the bathrooms looked like they had all been recently renovated. The kitchen was well stocked with anything we could want. The weather was delightful so we began and ended the day on the spacious patio. Several adults used the sauna and enjoyed it. The location was wonderful. We walked to town everyday, and with 2 small boys, it was so nice to be near the Rio Grande Park and John Denver Sanctuary. We could also walk to a nice grocery store which we did several times. We had a fabulous family vacation and this house was a great place to stay. Again the location was the best!!

Great Value, Great Location!

This house's design is a little funky, but fun and interesting. Our family of 7 adults really enjoyed the house, especially the location's proximity to town, grocery, and trails. Everything was in good working order and clean . The large deck is really great during the day, something missing in a lot of homes. The tennis court is rough and the house isn't actually on the Roaring Fork, but everything else was very nice, including Ellen, the owner. We would definitely stay there again.

A gift of Family Memories

My wife and I decided to stay here with our kids and grandkids for a week of skiing. Everyone skied and enjoyed the ease of getting to all 4 mountains via the nearby Galena Bus route to the Ruby transit center. The house is within walking distance to the town center with great views of Ajax. The unique house design permitted the under 21’s their own private rooms while the adults could enjoy some quiet interludes. Walking the nearby trails showed off the magnificent homes in Aspen. Everyone left Aspen with great memories!

Great location

655 Gibson could not have been better located for us. Also, the fenced in yard with hot tub was a big plus. The lower level master is the only bedroom we used, it is cozy but large and had a very nice bathroom. The kitchen and living space is nice, plenty of patios and a small fireplace inside which we enjoyed in the mornings. The upper bedrooms can get hot in summer but it was bearable overall. I can’t say enough about the location- really close to town but on a quiet street. House manager was helpful, too.

Aspen hillside home

This interesting four story home with great view of Aspen Mountain is only a 5 minute walk from downtown. The house is very well stocked with everything you could want in the kitchen, extra towels, two sets of washer and dryer, and firewood for the fireplace. I loved sitting at the window in the living room and watching far away skiers ski down the slopes. At dusk, the view through the glass wall by the stairway is awesome. We would definitely recommend this home to anyone visiting Aspen.

Felt right at home!

We were in town for a conference and decided to bring the whole family for an extended vacation. The location was perfect and views were spectacular. They have everything you need to make you feel right at home. This home is close to walking trails and close enough to town to walk in for shopping and dining. We brought our 3 year old and 8 month old. The stairs do have gaps in between but stairs can be dangerous for children period. The set up was perfect for our family. The owner was attentive and even mailed back a treasured stuffed animal we accidentally left at the home.

Beautiful Home with great location

My wife and I stayed in this wonderful home for almost two months in July and August. This is a very unique and fun home for all types of guests. The host Ellen, her property manager, Chonnie and the rest of the home caretakers were all so helpful and attentive. The time spent on the decks was delightful with decks off every room. We can't express enough how nice the location is, so close to everything. The home is right across the river from the Aspen Theatre. The home is in the core of Aspen, just 4 minutes from the Hotel Jerome. Also, Clark's grocery store is just 3 minutes away. We can only speak of this home and the hosts in superlatives.

Thanks, Steve and Enee! We loved having you as guests. The decks really are special, especially in the summer. With the sliding doors fully retracted, it's almost like an open-air house. We hope you'll come back next year.

Large home in a convenient location.

Everything you need for a great ski vacation. Near two shuttle bus routes, one passes the house every 10 min. We walked to town half the time as it is not too far either. Hot tub and steam room are great after a day on the mountain. The house has a lot of levels(4.5) so kids and adults can hang out separately if needed. Lots of stairs, you get a little extra exercise if you go back down for something you forgot. Overall, it was a great house an we would recommend it. We had two families (4 adults, 3 kids) and were very comfortable.

great house in a great location

Wonderful place to stay in the summer (we visited in July for 9 days). Great location - walk to John Denver Sanctuary, Clark's Market, the Rio Grande River and Trail and town. No need for a car unless you want to explore away from Aspen. The house was clean, comfortable and well supplied. We ate most dinners on the outside deck near the kitchen. We had no complaints. Great place to stay unless you have difficulty with stairs - there are lots of stairs. My wife and I are are in our 70s and the stairs were no problem for us - in fact we like the different levels in the house since they allow more privacy when in the bedrooms. However, someone who has difficulty with stairs might consider staying elsewhere. If you are not physically handicapped, this house is a wonderful place to stay!
