Gas Fireplace, Grotto Hot Tubs, Fall Colors

Drive up the mountain and breathe in the fresh air. Simplicity at Snowmass sits 300' from the Village Express Ski Run, the same 300' to the gondola, summer wildflower trails, and the golden aspen groves that arrive every fall. Whatever adventure the day held, the same cozy scene awaits: Gas fireplace on, appetizers set out, and the Aspenwood wellness amenities just steps out your door - heated pool, grotto hot tubs, sauna, fitness room. Snowmass is the destination & you just found base camp! - Hosted by Cowboys and Mermaids Vacation Rentals



Had a great stay. Place was exactly as advertised. Very convenient for ski access. Communication with Molly was seamless, and she was very accommodating. Highly recommend! - Nicholas





ABOUT THIS PROPERTY



Simplicity at Snowmass is a third-floor studio with a sleeping loft - a wall of expansive windows, no crowds walking past, and just steps from the heated pool and hot tubs.



The main level opens wide: living room, dining, and kitchen flow together under lofted ceilings. The gas fireplace anchors the room — turn it on upon arrival and the whole space shifts. The leather furniture wraps the corner, bathed in light from windows on two sides. Soft music from the Bose soundbar fills the open space; a Smart TV is ready for movie nights or storm-day streaming.



The sleeping loft climbs above the living area — king mattress, reading lights, white noise machine, low ceilings. Snug in the best way. Guests who take the loft tend to sleep deeply. On the main floor, a queen bed sits just an arm's reach from the high-end coffee station. Between the two sleeping spaces, Simplicity comfortably sleeps four.



The kitchen earns its place with the conveniences of home: a full fridge/freezer, dishwasher, Ninja blender, waffle maker, and a dedicated coffee corner with a 12-cup drip machine, grinder, milk frother, and beans already waiting. Enjoy dining fireside at a table for four.



Step outside — the Aspenwood complex delivers a strong amenity stack. The heated outdoor pool runs year-round, surrounded by stone buildings and towering pines and aspens. Two grotto-style hot tubs sit adjacent, deep and muscle-melting warm. A sauna and fitness room complete the recovery setup. The pool deck has a community BBQ and lounge chairs; in the warmer months, an afternoon here has a way of turning into a full evening.





LOCATION & WHAT'S NEARBY



Skiing/Dining/Shops: Guests are often surprised by how well-positioned this condo is. Walk 200 feet to the Village Express ski run - the nearest run down to the ticketing office or the gondola for swift access to the top of the mountain. A short, downhill, stroll brings you to Snowmass Mall, where a variety of restaurants and shops line the festive pedestrian corridor. From there, the complimentary pedestrian gondola carries you down to Snowmass Base Village - more dining options, our favorite crepe shack, and the complimentary 3 PM s'mores that have become a village tradition.



Explore Beyond Snowmass: The free RFTA bus stop is steps from the condo, making frequent runs into Aspen effortless - world-class dining, galleries, and boutiques about 30 minutes away. The Maroon Bells, arguably the most photographed mountains in Colorado, are close by.



Activities For All Seasons: Snowmass averages 25 feet of snowfall per season — 60% north-facing terrain holds snow quality deep into spring. Summer brings the Snowmass Bike Park, fly fishing, the Aspen Food & Wine Classic, the Rendezvous art festival, and the Wednesday-night Rodeo. In fall, the aspen groves turn gold — find yourself in one of the most stunning natural settings in the Rockies.





WHO THIS HOME IS BEST FOR



Couples — The gas fireplace, corner views, and intimate layout make Serenity a natural base for a romantic escape - a long ski weekend, a summer mountain retreat, or a fall trip timed to the glow of the aspens.



Two couples or friend groups — King sleeping loft, queen bed on the main floor, the kitchen handles the big breakfasts, no one in anyone's way. Fair split, real space.



Families with kids — Parents take the queen; kids claim the hang-out loft. A fully stocked kitchen, in-unit washer/dryer, and a year-round heated pool combine to make family travel noticeably easier…and more joyful.



Outdoor enthusiasts — Every season has a reason. Winter: direct ski run access, 3,300 acres of terrain. Spring: wildflower meadows bloom across the peaks - quiet trails, vivid color, one of the most underrated times to visit. Summer: the Bike Park, fly fishing, and high-alpine hikes. Fall: aspen groves turn electric gold just as the crowds clear.
