Great home for ski group

We had a fantastic stay at the Observatory! The Cuvee hosts could not have been more helpful and accomodating - helping us arrange a private chef dinner, making reservations, and even going so far as to decorate for our son's birthday! The house itself is comfortable and great for several families to share. Plus, it's a great location for ski days and exploring the town.

Great house, great location, great manager

This was my second time staying at this property. The location is convenient for skiing access on Aspen Mtn, transportation at Ruby Park, and the whole downtown area. The property manager was exceptionally responsive to any issues that arose. Would definitely stay again.
