About this property

Luxurious Riverfront Cabin on the Frying Pan River - 1 block to Basalt

Luxurious Riverfront Log Cabin located directly on the banks of the Frying Pan River. The Guest Cabin is located on the same property as Lodge at River's Edge and consists of a fully equipped kitchen, living room with cable TV and wireless internet, a bedroom with a queen bed and an open air loft with two twin beds. There is also a pull out sofa in the Living Room.

The cabin was originally built by Colorado Midland Railroad workers in 1896, it was restored a century later in 1996. The cabin was renovated again in 2005 and 2015 . The cabin is decorated in an elegant mountain style and includes luxurious linens, comfy robes, down pillows, radiant in-floor heating, fireplace and all the amenities you would expect at a nice hotel. The sliding glass door opens up to the views and sounds of the Frying Pan River rushing by. The cabin guests' are welcome to fish on the Frying Pan River in front of the cabin and also upriver towards the main lodge.

The cabin interior was recently remodeled in 2015 and again in 2018 - we replaced the ladder with a gorgeous custom staircase to the loft. Additionally, the kitchen has been remodeled with granite counter tops, stainless appliances, and wood flooring throughout. Other additions include A/C, washer/dryer, dishwasher and an upgraded bathroom with walk in shower and double vanities. No details has been overlooked.

The cabin is located only one block to the charming town of Basalt. It is a beautiful, quick 1 minute stroll to all the restaurants and shops located in town. There is a private flagstone sitting area for the cabin guests to relax next to the River. The cabin sits just 10 feet from the banks of the Frying Pan River!! Short Term Rental License #24307

The location is superb - short walk to wonderful restaurants and shops, but leaving is hard because of the fabulour Frying Pan just steps out the door. Already planning a return, it can't come quick enough!

Remarkable Refuge along the River
Terrific alternative to a boring hotel room. Perfectly kitted out cabin along the banks of the Frying Pan. Perfect for couple and kids or 2-3 friends. Walk to restaurants and shops in Basalt in 3 minutes. Easy drive to Snowmass and rapid transit parking lots. Loved our stay here as a base for skiing in the valley. Would be extraordinary in summer.

Fantastic location on the river!
Our family of 4 enjoyed our stay at Christy’s cabin- you can’t beat the location. We enjoyed lounging by the river and walking into town to the Tipsy Trout. The kids loved the hammock and it was nice being able to fish right out your door. The cabin was very clean and cozy!

The property is truly stunning. Cabin was the perfect size for my dear friend and I. Walking 10 yards to the frying pan river was fabulous. Also, it’s a short walk to town. Absolutely loved this property and will definitely be back!

Awesome cabin very close to town!!!
My nephew and I really enjoyed our stay. The cabin location is convenient and a very short walk to downtown Basalt. it had everthing we needed and more. We loved having the windows open and hearing the water from the river. I met the owners and they were very nice and helpful. The dog visits were an extra bonus!!!! Thank you for letting us enjoy your lovely cabin.

Perfect little retreat
We stayed at the Basalt cabin for three nights and it was perfect for the two of us. We loved the setting and the easy walk to restaurants in town was a plus. 1 short block and you are in town but feel like you are away from everything at the cabin and have privacy from the main house on the property. The owners are super friendly but do not bother you. Their dogs come for a visit daily and we loved that since we missed our dogs at home. You won't be disappointed. The cabin is clean, comfy and cozy and well appointed. We cannot wait to return.

Wonderful location
Our family of four enjoyed our stay in this wonderful location! The cabin feels secluded and private but is just a couple blocks away from downtown Basalt. It was convenient for us spending time in Basalt, Aspen and Snowmass. The frying pan river is just steps from the door and we enjoyed hearing it at nighttime as well. The cabin is small but very comfortable bed, nice shower/bathroom and kitchen is well stocked for cooking. It’s great for a couple or family with 2 kids. The host family was very helpful and friendly. We look forward to staying again!

Trip of a lifetime! Could not have been happier with our cabin.
Trip of a lifetime! Could not have been happier with our cabin. We celebrated our anniversary and birthday on the bank of the frying pan river. Close enough to walk to basalt. Easy access to bike trails fly fishing and hiking. Could not have been happier. Highly recommend this cabin to anyone looking for a little getaway.

Favorite Trip
We look forward to this trip every year. From my fly fishing husband to my teenage son to my little daughter we all enjoy being here! Walking in to town for breakfast, having wine by the riverboat night. It’s very cozy and a perfect family trip or romantic trip for two. I’m torn between telling people how wonderful it is or not telling anyone to keep it a secret! I don’t return many places that we travel because I always love something new. This is my one exception….. love it

Graduation Getaway
This was a great opportunity to unwind and relax as the river front did not disappoint. It’s a quaint little spot and the walk to town was a short distance. For some great food, stop in at Heather’s or the Brick Pony Pub. Make plans to head to Aspen to enjoy hiking at Maroon Bells but make sure you make a reservation or see, Todd at the T-Lazy 7 Ranch to rent e-bikes. If you enjoy a little water excitement, contact Aspen Whitewater Rafting (AWR) to head down the upper Fork River … this will definitely give you a thrill. We were first time rafters and had a blast.

Wonderful relaxing time in Basalt!
The cabin was exactly as advertised and perfectly met our expectations. The 1BR, 1 BA + Loft was all that was needed for me, my wife and 2 teenagers. to have a wonderful time. The town is literally only a 5-minute walk away with ample restaurant options. The view of the adjacent river during the day and the sound of the water whooshing by at night make this location really special. The cabin was very clean, linens were nice and plentiful, the bathroom was spacious and accommodating with the double-sink. From here, it's just a 10-minute drive to Snowmass and 15 minutes to Aspen. We would definitely stay there again.

Fall leaf peeping, fishing, painting and relaxing
This is a great location. Close to town but feels more remote. Easy walk to restaurants in town, short drives to fishing access and not too far from Aspen proper and Independence Pass. It is a small but comfortable cabin and nicely decorated. Picnic table and seating right out your door next to the creek. It is situated along the drive to the main house which you can see but felt private enough. They have very cute and friendly dogs who like to say hello. The freestanding gas fireplace heats up the cabin nicely on chilly evenings. There was both a Keurig and drip coffeemakers. The drip has a built in grinder so can take whole or preground beans. It was perfect for the two of us for a few days away to take in he sights, fish, paint and relax.

Why they chose this property

Lodge at River's Edge was purchased and extensively remodeled in 2005 and again in 2015. It is a family owned and operated business. We take pride in providing luxurious accommodations along with the beautiful surroundings. No where else in this Valley are you able to find a riverfront setting where the river literally runs past your front door. Plus you are only a 1/2 block from downtown Basalt. It's the best of both worlds. You can enjoy cocktails on the riverfront terrace and then walk into Basalt for great dining and music.
