About the host

Hosted by Linda deSoto

Host profile image
I am from California originally. I've lived in Aspen 14 years. I love living off the grid with the wild life and quiet. We love to share cooking, thinking our own thoughts without interruption, doing art, slowing down, really communicating and more.

Why they chose this property

It's beautiful. It's quiet. It's filled with wildlife and tranquility. The trees speak to you. On any given day you will see: wild turkeys, bears, humming birds, deer eating in the yard, magpies, squirrels, butterflies, beetle bugs, wild flowers, crazy gigantic angular mountain ranges and more...

What makes this property unique

It's on a wildlife corridor quiet and nice. It's private. No one can see you. You have a incredible view to the Lake: Ruedi Reservoir.

Should you need any concierge service or advice on restaurants or clubs, don’t hesitate to call management or the owner who has lived in Roaring Fork Valley many years.

Have the time of your life. Sleep in or get up super early to see the sun come up. Whatever your desire. Surely, relax and make sure to wish upon a star at least once.
