About this property

PENTHOUSE "CHATEAU ROARING FORK", AC, ALL DAY SUN, VIEWS-AVAILABLE FOOD-WINE

This top floor, sunny, south corner Chateau Roaring Fork condo with an unobstructed view of Aspen Mountain is located just three blocks from the Little Nell Hotel and Silver Queen Gondola, City Market and the Aspen Core. The cathedral ceiling and floor to ceiling glass wall bring the outdoors in. The unit is warm and welcoming.

The kitchen and dining room feature granite countertops with a matching granite table for eight. There is a fully equipped gourmet kitchen, including cherry cabinets, a large gas range, and stainless steel appliances including a convection oven/microwave, dishwasher, refrigerator with icemaker, a separate wine cooler and a gas grill on the deck with an outdoor table allowing you to cook/eat al fresco.

From the spacious living/dining room, with double faced gas fireplace, you are treated to views of Aspen Mountain, watching skiers go by as you are enjoying your morning coffee from both the living room and dining table. Our unit is the best location to watch Aspen's renowned fireworks displays.

You relax on a large, upscale leather couch and two wonderful reclining chairs in the living room with a large wall mounted Television/sound bar/bluetooth in the living room. The unit is fully serviced by fast Wi-Fi.

The large Master Bedroom with a king size bed contains a newly added en-suite bath with a heated floor and twin sinks. It has views facing both Independence Pass and the Roaring Fork river.

All bedrooms each have their own televisions. At guest's option the two non-master bedrooms can be made up with either two extra long twin beds, or the beds can be joined together and set up as a single king bed, as you prefer.

Your stay includes MAID SERVICE with ABI, THE BEST HOUSEKEEPER IN ASPEN! There is also a full size washer and dryer, and a Rinnai Instant hot water system assuring that you will never run out of hot water.

The Chateau Roaring Fork Complex has the largest pool in Aspen, with two large hot tubs. The hot tubs are great meeting places in which to soak after skiing or hiking, as well as a wonderful amenity in the summertime. There is also a sauna, and small workout room.

There are beautiful hiking trails right outside your door including the East Aspen trail, a very short walk to the locals favorite Ute Trail, links to the nearby Rio Grande Trail by Hallam Lake, Glory Hole Park to name a few.

It is hard to choose what the best part of staying in this unit is? Is the comfortable condo itself, where you can relax by the fireplace, throw something on the grill and enjoy a comfortable meal together; or is it the convenient core location where everything is in easy walking distance from the Supermarket to the Gondola, to Restaurant Row, to the Downtown shops, to the Roaring Fork Transportation Hub with free bus service to the other ski areas - Aspen Highlands, Snowmass, Buttermilk -as well as service down valley all the way to Glenwood Springs; or, is it the easy access to the many trails outside your door? Who knows, but it's just great.

On a different note, the rules of the Condominium Association prohibit guests from bringing any animals into the complex. This rule is strictly enforced. Smoking, of ANY substance, including tobacco products, vape pipes, marijuana, etc. is strictly forbidden anywhere on the premises, notwithstanding the fact that smoking these substances may be permitted by Colorado law.

Because of the convenient location in the core and Aspen's wonderful public transportation system you do not need a car to get around. If you do bring a car you will be provided with a single parking pass for the condominium lot.

There is a four-day minimum stay, with longer minimums at select times. Daily rates are listed on our site, but may be modified for special events, etc. Actual rates will be confirmed at the time of your booking. There is an Aspen Sales Taxes of 21.3% on stays of less than 28 days, but there is no sales tax on stays of 28 days or longer.

Owner reserves the right to change rates at any time prior to acceptance of your booking.

Fantastic place to stay - homely, well equipped
James was a delight to liaise with in arranging our stay, and we were fortunate to meet he and his wife briefly during our stay of 11 nights. The unit had amazing views of the fireworks on Ajax Mountain, was so welcoming in its colors and furnishings, and very well equipped in the kitchen- we ate in nearly every night. It was only a couple of blocks to a great supermarket, and wine/beer shop, with plenty of restaurants also easy walking distance. The daily unit servicing was lovely. We enjoyed talks and events at Wheeler Opera House, spent a beautiful day cross-country skiing to Pinecreek Cookhouse at Ashcroft for lunch (and back), and dropped into warming huts on the mountains to have a snack and talk with ski patrol people. We were a 3 block walk to the Gondola, and it helped to hire skis at a ski shop where they minded them for a minimal fee each night so we didn't need to transport them to and fro. We would certainly look at staying here again if we're lucky enough to go to Aspen another time. Close enough to walk to everything, but quiet at night and just a joy to be there.

Chateau Roaring Fork
We had a great stay at Chateau Roaring Fork. The condo was clean, and the location was perfect. We had a short walk to the gondola and any restaurants in town. James was a very attentive host, and Abby came by to clean the condo on a regular basis. We will definitely look to book this property again in the future! -Dylan

Penthouse at Chateau Roaring Fork
We have stayed at a lot of different properties in Aspen over the years and this one is at the top of our list. It was very clean with recently updated bathrooms and nice comfortable beds and the location was fantastic just a short walk to the gondola. The property manager was easy to get in touch with and very attentive to our needs. Two thumbs up!!

Great Place to Stay in Aspen
We visited Aspen for the food and wine classic and stayed for four days. The condo was great size for the 5 adults we had with us and James, the owner, did a great job of communicating with me both before and during our stay as needed. Both of the bathrooms were recently redone. I would definitely stay here again in the future.

James was a great host! Everything from the booking process to check out process was a breeze. James promptly answered any questions and jumped in to assist. We absolutely loved our time here and cannot wait to return some day. The unit is in the perfect location - walking distance to Aspen Mtn and many restaurants/bars in the area. Can’t beat it!

My friends and I stayed at James' condo in Aspen and were very happy with the experience. The condo is comfortable, clean, and quaint, with a stellar view. The gas fireplace was cozy feature we used frequently after long days on the slopes. The location of the condo is superb for all Aspen has to offer. James was extremely easy to communicate with, and very friendly. We are super satisfied with our stay, and will be back!

Amazing Condo
James was truly as good of a host as one could ask for. He was fast to respond and did whatever he could to accommodate the needs of our group. Truly a 5 star host! The condo was also spectacular. Very clean and cozy, and couldn’t be in a better location - about 5-10 min walk to all Aspen has to offer on a beautiful dead end street. Overall highly recommend!

Great find- clean,spacious, perfect location!
From the time I inquired about this rental to the day after check out…. James was so helpful. His property is a perfect home away from home. The location to the town and gondola is only a few blocks- and it was below freezing temps- still easily done. The unit was spotless, warm, homey, up to date and easily ‘figured out’. The bathrooms are updated and very clean. The kitchen has everything you could possibly need. The washer and dryer were key! The endless hot water was a plus…. Very good perk! The gas fireplace warmed everyone up within minutes and made for cozy nights as a family! There were friendly women who came to replace towels and remove trash daily. The property is really nice- with good parking, snow removal, salted walk ways. Our teenagers especially enjoyed the huge community hot tub. They met many other kids their age and looked forward to relaxing and meeting new friends after a day on the slopes. It was quiet- warm- great mattresses- perfect place to lay your head after a fun filled day in Aspen. We will return and recommend highly to anyone visiting Aspen.

We had a terrific stay at James' place and hope to return soon! James could not have been more responsive or hospitable. The kitchen was incredibly well stocked with everything we needed - including a gas grill the we used twice. The unit is a top corner unit with wonderful views, a cozy gas fireplace and a large deck. It is a short walk to the mountain, groceries and downtown Aspen. The unit was also well cleaned daily. Thank you, James!

About the host

Hosted by James

Host profile image
We met on a chairlift on Aspen Mountain in 1974. We live in Colorado, and so come up often, skiing and snowshoeing in the winter, hiking, riding our tandem bike (the adjoining picture of us with our tandem is an early fall ride to Snowmass), enjoying the music festival in the summer and relaxing by the pool complex at our place. A designer remodel was completed with the goal of making our unit casual, comfortable and inviting. After an active day we often times grill on the barbecue on our deck, a wonderful place from which to toast the sunset and appreciate what a wonderful place Aspen is year 'round.

Why they chose this property

We had owned a condominium in a nearby complex since 1972. It did not have the open sunny feel we now enjoy, nor did it have the spectacular views or amenities that we always coveted in this Chateau Roaring Fork unit. When this high ceilinged, south facing unit, with 270 degree views including both the Roaring Fork river and Aspen mountain came available in 1986 we jumped on it. We knew that its sunny exposure with all day sun, and high ceilings made it very special. We were right.

What makes this property unique

Now that we have been renting the condo ourselves for the past several years we have come to appreciate from our guests feedback, that they love the same things about our condo that we do. The bright open feel of the condo, with it's unobstructed view of Aspen mountain, the convenient location to walk everywhere, the wonderful housekeeping services provided by Abi, and how comfortable our unit is. Many of our guests have told us what a better, more comfortable experience our condo provided them compared to previous, similarly priced condominiums they've stayed at in Aspen. Most Aspen core condos were built in the late 1960's, and very few are updated with air conditioning. Ours is one of only two units in the Chateau Roaring Fork that is air conditioned.
