Snowmass is truly 'Magic in the trees' - and this Winter is amazing! Available for 1 week min to 1 month, so you can experience it all, and get some of those bluebird powder days. Our house is located off Faraway road, surrounded by the peaceful falling of snow (in winter) and fluttering of aspen leaves (Spring/summer/fall) through the Aspens and tall pines. Peace & quiet, backdoor access to beauty & nature, privacy. My family spent many a vacation and several whole years in this unforgettable place! Just 5 min from the slopes, the house has 3 floors (stairs keep you ski- fit!) an can fit 2 families, or 3 couples Upstairs: Kitchen and living area with large stone fireplace and 20 foot (7M) beamed ceilings, and outdoor deck. Working remotely? No problem there's good WiFi (I 'zoomed' from here January-March last year!) I left a monitor, keyboard and mouse ready for your use. Mid level - master bedroom with walk-in closet and private bath room with shower - 2nd bedroom with 2 beds (or configured as a king), and second bath w/ tub/shower Downstairs - a large bedroom has 2 beds (can be combined) and 1 additional single, and one additional mattress. This floor has a third bath with tub/shower. Full Laundry facilities are downstairs. In addition to skiing/boarding, there's an endless supply of activities in Aspen and Snowmass. Check links below for more info. Fully equipped and quality: 5 burner gas range and oven with broiler, dishwasher, and large refrigerator. 2 Bathrooms with tubs, one with large shower; tile floors. Clothes washer and dryer. In Winter : Of course there's world-class downhill skiing, snow boarding, cross-country and back-country skiing. - This year we rented "Fat tire" electric mountain bikes and rode to Maroon Lake, had a picnic lunch and rode back - absolutely spectacular! - There's an outdoor mini- rink at base village, and a free outdoor ice rink at the Snowmass Rec Cen (along with a pool/jacuzzi and other facilities for $15/day). - or just snowshoe/skin out the backdoor to 2Creeks, Elk camp /snowmass mountain Access: its about 5 minutes drive to the slopes at Snowmass Village, 15 min to Buttermilk, 20min to Aspen. Snow tires (and/or 4WD ideally) needed for driveway. In Summer and Fall there's even more to do!!! Here's a taste : - Tons of hiking & biking - right out the back door - Aspen Rec Center: Ice rink, 3-story climbing wall, water park with 300ft water slide - Snowmass has a rec center w/ a pool and tennis courts, etc - Rent a 'downhill mountain bike' for the thrill of your life: Take the gondola up to Elk Camp with your bike -- Have an awesome lunch, and then ride down the exciting trail to the village again - woohoo! - Visit the Glenwood Adventure park, with mile-long natural underground cave tour, bungee jumping, 'alpine sled' (like a personal racecar on roller coaster track - very cool!), Canyon swing, climbing wall, trapeeze trampolines, etc. etc. 45 min drive down the valley to Glenwood Springs. - Or, just hang out on the deck surrounded by the woods: In summer and fall, the back deck is quite possibly the most peaceful place on earth. You are completely surrounded by woods. Read a book, listen to music, or just zone out listening to the fluttering of Aspen leaves in the breeze! You won't get this experience in a condo! Walk out the back deck to directly access the hiking trails: - Powerline trail that takes you over to Elk Camp and the Government trail (that goes all the way from the Snowmass Village to Aspen). - Tom Blake trail (Awesome for mountain biking with the kids - mostly traverses over soft ground, 1 creek crossing) traverses into Owl Creek and connects with the paved bike path. The kids can explore the woods and build forts. It's heaven! Keywords: House, home, cabin, rental
