CHARMING TWO BEDROOM ON THE ROARING FORK RIVER:
Pitkin County Short Term Rental License No. STR.0089.2022
This home is surrounded by country and open views though not located far, just over a bridge, from the Intersection of HWY 82. The living room hosts a wonderful library of books, wood burning fireplace, 40" flat screen TV, and views. The TV, cable including premium channels, and I-net were upgraded in October 2020. The kitchen is fully stocked with an abundance of appliances, dishware and cook & bake ware including but not limited to microwave, toaster, single drink blender, drip & Keurig coffee pots, and crock pot. Separating the kitchen from the deck is a small dining room that seats up to 6. The deck over looks the river, has a café table and chairs set, umbrella, and propane grill. Master features King bed, Jacuzzi tub, flat screen TV, views, and sounds of the river. Guest bedroom features a double bed, a single bed, and 40" TV. Home sleeps 5. A pak'n'play, and baby gates are stored in the guest bedroom. The bathroom has a walk-in shower; the hall has mirrored and lighted vanity with a second sink and a laundry closet with washer and dryer. The home has hair dryer, iron & ironing board, vacuum, fans, humidifiers and supplies.

This two bedroom is the top floor of a tri-plex that has 2 great and helpful long-term renters in the units below. There is a community viewing area at the edge of the river. Above is a picnic area with charcoal BBQ, garden swing, and table & chairs. From the property one can fish or walk to other nearby fishing spots, access a put-in, or continue and follow the River Walk Trail to Basalt. Often numerous and colorful rafters and kayakers negotiate the river. The riders & guides know a section of the river, just beyond the home, as “Toothache”. Above the home is the Rio Grande Trail used by spurts of bike riders.

A gentle path at the far end of the Commons hooks up with the River Walk Trail to Basalt along the shore of the Roaring Fork River. There is a beach and put-in before the River Walk Trail leads west. Check out trails down the road. From the front door, go left up the road to the sign: Aspen Glen Open Space. Take a left off road, then another left into a little parking area by river. There are trails and one leads to an island in the river. There are many other places to access the river from the property or nearby for fishing. A book on fishing the Frying Pan and articles on fishing are provided. Hiking trail books are also available.

IMPORTANT NOTATION: The home was built circa late 50's. The complete renovation of the vacation rental was finished in 1988. Since then, there have been many upgrades especially to TVs, I-net, plumbing fixtures, amenities, furnishings, and bedding. It is an older property having the ambiance of a paneled drawing room and does not offer the minimalistic furnishing or ambience that has been trending in recent years - - though some current (2023) divestment and newer purchases are modernizing the look and utility. New pictures will be posted as more and more is modernized and the atmosphere takes on a new character. There are typically inherent flaws with older homes regardless that repair and maintenance is routinely done and upgrades are an on-going process. If you are expressly looking for a rental that is new and trending the minimalistic style, please find exactly what you want. It is my hope that all guests and vacationers have a great stay in our wonderful, enchanting valley and enjoy serenity as well as the outstanding adventures each season offers.
