This property really met our needs. We had a fairly large group, including a dog, and wanted to be close to Aspen in a place that provided plenty of indoor and outdoor space. Adam was easy to deal with before and during our stay. This was a lot of property for the money, in a great location. Basalt is a cute town, with good restaurants and nice walking spaces.
First, and very uplifting is the gorgeous setting (surroundings) of this property. The neighborhood is beautiful with lush green grass that is well cared for...huge, beautiful healthy trees.....Aspen, Blue Spruce, Weeping Willow, Cottonwood, and more. The neighborhood is quiet and provided privacy for residents. There is a lovely lake and beautiful flower garden.Adam, our contact for this rental, was very responsive to all of our questions, and inquiries.The house was beautifully built and had many high-end, lovely features...beautiful wood ceilings, huge log support beams, granite flooring, etc. Summer (at least for us) is not the time of year to come. It is a two-story home with the kitchen, main living area, a pool table room, and Master Bedroom with bathroom, on the top level. There is a small window-type air conditioner in the living area; however, it could not keep the upstairs area comfortable. In the middle to late afternoons the temperatures were quite often in the mid 80s or higher.We also had several maintenance issues. Several of the windows were inoperable. Window coverings, including wooden shutters and curtains...needed maintenance. The carpeting in the stairway was soiled, some of the drains in sinks and tubs were badly clogged, and we experienced a wounded bat on the floor of the bathroom one morning. Because of places that were not air-tight, (screens that could not be locked closed) there were often bugs in the house. Great location for us.
Huge rustic house, great location, nice amenities. Communication with owner was easy. Shopping almost within walking distance, Aspen/Snowmass 15/20 minutes away. Hope to have the opportunity to come back to this place.
This home is a blast. There are 4 bedrooms, but so many other rooms that you can bring your entire clan. LOL! Adam (the owner) is exceptional at communicating timely info. Weather, roads, house condition, areas to eat, drink, and explore. We enjoyed the pool table, the HUGE breakfast bar, and the fact that you can use the 2 car garage when Mother Nature dumps 9â of snow on you. IF you have the desire & ability to drive to/from Aspenâs ski resorts, this home is perfect. Even walking distance to grocery store, great little Mexican food joint, Starbucks, and to the river as well. Highly recommended.
We had a great time, the place is HUGE! We had 6 adults staying there and we were all very comfortable. Its very close to shops and restaurants, has lots of outdoor space, a dog run/fenced area outside, and was so warm even though it was freezing outside!... the property was amazing. We would definitely stay there again.
The property is very spacious. The amenities are great, however there are some minor maintenance issues like windows that don't open, loose cabinet drawers, loose toilet seats, etc. that need to be addressed but they don't detract from the overall experience. We would rent this house again!
We had a wonderful stay at this property! Everything was accommodating including Adam, the property owner. It was a beautiful and peaceful place to relax. We would definitely book again if we come back to this area. Basalt is a really cool mountain town with great restaurants and things to do. Plus everything is close to the property which made it super convenient. Five stars for sure!!
I've stayed at Adam's house twice now, and love it. It's location is very convenient to the grocery as well as the mountains of Aspen. Lots of space in the house, great to be able to use the garage when it snows.
Tired and rundown...shower didn't work in one bathroom. Kitchen can stand a good cleaning. Furniture could use a good shampooing. Electrical problem in overhead lighting (constant blinking). Just looked over-used and needs some tender loving care.
Location and great Price! There are a multitude of options to launch off to from this home: 1) Take a short day trip to Maroon Bells, Aspen/Snowmass
2) Bring your bike and take an easy ride to downtown Basalt, Wood creek Distillery, Willits (2 bikes for your use on property). Bike rental near by.
3) Relax in the private back yard by the bar and listen to the tranquil stream while taking in the wildlife.
4) Gear up for some of the best fishing and rafting in Colorado. Private path straight to the Roaring Fork River or 10 minute drive to the Frying Pan River.
