Nice river front house
My family and I just returned from staying at this house outside of Aspen.
The house is right on the river and the yard area by the river is absolutely beautiful, as shown in the pictures. I spent several hours fly fishing on the river without much success but I did talk to a guide that was on the river outside the house and he said it was a good fishing area.
The house is about 15 min from Aspen and 8 min from Snowmass Village. The surrounding area and houses are all very nice and there is a great "local" restaurant/bar (woody creek tavern)within walking distance down the road. The house is an 7.5 on a scale of 1-10. Very livable but in need of some TLC, furniture, and paint. There is a ping pong table in the garage which provided hours of fun.
On our last night, we made a fire in the fire pit and made s'mores. It was a great time with the kids but apparently a BEAR could not resist the smell of cooking marshmallows . Luckily, after the fire and s'mores we were all in the house and heard some noises outside. Looking out of a window upstairs we watch a good sized bear destroy the "bear safe" trash can. I don't think the bear usually could have gotten the lid off but 1 of the 2 latches did not work.... Yes, you need a new "bear safe" trash can because he tore the lid up. If you stay here, keep the trash cans in the garage.
All-in-all, I would recommend staying here. We had a great family vacation and as long as you are not expecting the 5 start, you should be happy. If it is during the summer months, the Snowmass Rodeo on Wednesday nights is something not to miss!
