We have a caretaker (detached separate entrance garage apartment) to assist with needs. Besides seeing a car come and go on the driveway the caretakers presence is unobtrusive and no impact to your visit.
Our myriad 5 reviews share that this is not a typical vacation rental but a home that is comfortable, inviting and a peaceful retreat in a world that has been a bit crazy lately. Enjoy!
We spent most of our time in the backyard. It is beautiful and relaxing. There was a lot of things to keep the kids busy and having fun, and fishing for the guys. It is a quiet neighborhood but everything you need right around the corner. The house had plenty of room for my family of seven.
We had a family of seven stay at Doug‘s property. The kids absolutely love the backyard. From the Playhouse to the zip line, they loved it. The kitchen is extremely nice plenty of room to roam around great neighborhood. I can’t say enough about this property. You will not be disappointed
Everything as advertised and more. Perfect location in quiet neighborhood, backing to national forest land with direct access trail along the river. Close to everything and beautiful home. Thanks for everything Doug, we had a wonderful family Spring Break!
Found lots of peace and quiet here and not a long distance from the snowmass. Nice little getaway without the big resort craziness.
It was an amazing experience, we recommend this beautiful place if you want to have great quality time with all your family. We were a party of 7 and the space was more than enough, the rooms and all the house were great, the kitchen have everything you could ever need. We loved it, we recommend this place 100%. Doug the owner was very helpful and very kind we thank you for the amazing treatment. Hope to see you in our next winter vacations
This was not just a rental property but a great home! The location was very close to all the services and shops needed, but still had the feel of country life. The kitchen was well equipped, & the yard was full of games to keep the kids entertained while we cooked. The radiant heat kept the whole house warm and cozy. And the huge hottub was such an enjoyment after a long day hitting the slopes. Aspen Snowmass was only 20 minutes away and Sunlight Mountain only 35. The local trails along the Roaring Fork from the back yard was easy and fun for the kids.. Our only lowpoint staying with Doug was leaving!
Beautiful, comfortable home in a wonderful area close to Aspen with lots of outdoor activities within reach. Highly recommend!
Would love to stay there again! Doug does a wonderful job.
We enjoyed our relaxing stay with the dogs. A chance to get away from Denver during covid and this proved to be the right choice.
The house is spacious, full of light and perfect for a family. The location is beautiful and convenient. Highly recommended.
