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.

All linens, towels, soaps, paper products, and laundry detergents are supplied. Extra supply of personal care products.

Please note that ski season is from late November to mid-April. The summer season is from mid-June to early September. Off-season rentals are available at reduced rates.

There is an additional pet fee - two dogs max, no other pets allowed.

Quiet, residential area, so no parties or large events, and no exterior noise during the Town of Snowmass Village quiet hours. The main guest responsible for the booking must be 30 or older.

Keywords: Contemporary House in the Rocky Mountains with the ability to sleep up to 12 people, with hot tub, near ski slopes, hiking/biking trails, golf, tennis, fishing, entertainment, and recreation center nearby.

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.

This was perfect for our trip with friends. The home is set up so well with all the amenities. Some we didn't expect to use. Such as the crutches you so thoughtfully had available. We had one individual who had to use our last day. The access to the bus route was great. It was a pleasure to meet Rick also, and a plus to have someone on site. Thank you for a wonderful stay and we will come back.

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.
