Aspenwood, A Destination Residence

Enjoy the comforts of home with the slopeside locale of a ski lodge when you stay at the Aspenwood. Situated just a little ways up the Fanny Hill run, at the Aspenwood you’ll enjoy easy access to the slopes without staying right in the hustle and bustle of the base village. Once your crew is ready to hit the powder, the slopes are less than a hundred yards from your front door – any easy walk even in ski boots. Snowmass is the largest ski area among the four mountains that make up Aspen Snowmass Ski Resort. If you feel like exploring beyond Snowmass Mountain just hop on the ski shuttle to check out one of the other spots – your lift ticket is good at all four mountains! If you’re traveling with little ones it’s a short troll to the Treehouse Kids Adventure Center where there’s daycare for infants and toddlers, as well as ski lessons for tots ages two to four (they’ll be zipping down double-diamonds by six!). Tell your crew to rendezvous at the top of the Elk Camp Gondola for lunch on-mountain and enjoy your meal with stunning views on the patio. If you’re visiting during peak season, be sure to come back to Elk Camp on Friday evening for Ullr Night – a weekly mountaintop party for the whole family celebrating the Norse god of snow with fun stuff like ice skating, night tubing, and firepits for roasting s’mores. Once you’re thoroughly snowed out just coast down Fanny Hill and right up to the resort. Drop your gear at the complimentary ski locker, or leave it with the Incline Shop onsite for an overnight tune-up. After delighting the crew with a hearty home cooked meal prepared in your condo’s fully equipped kitchen, suggest a trip to the outdoor hot tubs. Between the natural landscaping and soothing waterfall, you’ll feel like you’re soaking in an actual hot spring.

The individually-decorated studios, two- and three-bedroom condos at the Aspenwood each have a bit of personal style, but are always bright, spacious and tasteful. Enjoy the comforts of home while on vacation with a fully equipped kitchen, cable TV and onsite laundry facilities. Inviting living areas with cushy couches and a gas-burning fireplace make a great space for spending downtime with your crew.

There’s no shortage of walkable attractions with a slopeside locale like this. On mornings you don’t feel like cooking stop by Fuel café for a breakfast burrito and coffee on the way to the lifts. For a hearty dinner swing by Big Hoss Grill for classic American fare like chili, wings, and burgers – plus a solid kids’ menu. To explore beyond Snowmass Village just hop on the Aspen shuttle and check out the other three villages. History buffs will love downtown Aspen, where you can admire the historic Victorian houses along Main Street, or visit the Wheeler Stallard Museum to learn about Aspen’s founding fathers.
