Great Location

Who can beat summer on the Roaring Fork River? This place is right on it and has access to fishing. Went with grandparents and 2 children (8 and 10). Everyone thoroughly enjoyed the inside and outside of the property. We would recommend staying here again. Another bonus is the AC in the hot summers.

Incredible place, will book again!

Kendall left us a handwritten note and freshly cut flowers. The place was immaculate and beautiful is an understatement. Kendall was communicative and it was so nice renting from a place who cares about their property rather than it being run by a bunch of property managers. Already planning on how i can get back there!

Lodge on the river

A very clean comfy private house along the roaring fork river. A good sized open kitchen living room which was great for a family vacation! Comfortable furniture. Fireplace. Hot tub. All the bells and whistles they even had robes and slippers in each of the bedrooms. The views of the river and the snow capped mountains were georgous! A short drive to glenwood springs with a handful of tasty dining options and hot springs. Highly recommend for a winter family getaway.

Spring Break 2023 - Wonderful!

We truly enjoyed our stay in Glenwood Springs. We had a party of 7 and the house was perfect for our family. It was well stocked and had everything we needed. Having access to the garage was great too, as we had rain and snow during our stay. The property was beautiful inside and out and the hot tub was wonderful for relaxing. My husband enjoyed the river for fishing and we saw elk multiple times in/crossing the river. It was a short drive to town for the tourist activities. Kendall was extremely kind and very communicative, checking in and answering any questions we had while we were there. Highly recommend this property if staying in the area. Short drive to activities and spa like amenities and privacy at the home.

Beautiful Setting

The setting for the house was amazing. The large deck looked out over a flowing river. The layout of the house was unusual as they added on to the house a couple of times. The kitchen was well stocked and plenty of seating outside and inside. The big issue was the air conditioning was not adequet to cool the house during hot days. The upstairs bedroom was especially hot as was the fourth bedroom. The owners did a good job communicating with us.

The Aspenwood is a beautiful home. The furniture and decor are high end. It has everything you need for a large group. It’s a bit of a drive from downtown Glenwood Springs but the riverfront property is well worth it. Kendall is an amazing host. She made sure our experience was great. We highly recommend!
