About this property

Spring Creek Home Near Aspen And Walking Distance to Whole Foods in Basalt

Located near the banks of the Roaring Fork River, only 20 minutes form Aspen/Snowmass and immediately adjoining a 100 acre Forest Service park - this home offers more than just a nice place to stay. Whole Foods market and Willits Town Center are an easy stroll (less than a mile). You can ice skate in winter or swim in summer on the neighborhood pond located 100 yards away from the home. Rainbow trout sip at flies surfacing on the spring creek pond in the back yard while adventurous minded participants use the Zipline from the tree fort to enjoy the back yard experience year round. Many excellent restaurants including Oceans (seafood), El Korita (Mexican), Sure Thing Burgers, Mezzaluna (Italian) Zane’s Tavern (sports bar), Bella Mia Italian, Weinerstube and a Starbucks are all within walking distance. The Movieland Cinema with seven screens and ElJebowl bowling alley are also within walking distance or a short two mile car ride away. Bicycles are available to use to ride to and from the near by restaurants and shops. Bristlecone Sports and Basalt Bike and Ski are next to Whole Foods with the latest mountain related gear available. Great gourmet kitchen, home and design stores, clothing stores and art galleries are within walking distance. A new theater is slated for completion in 2021 that will offer live theater performances, films and musical events is located at the end of the neighborhood street.

Historic downtown Basalt with its myriad restaurants, art galleries and charming boutiques are four miles away. Aspen and Snowmass offer the finest skiing in the world along with excellent dining and cultural offerings are an easy drive or accessed via the RFTA public bus system voted one of the finest transport systems in the country. Some of the best hiking and mountain biking in the country is right out the front door and world class Gold Medal Trout fishing on the Roaring Fork River is a 200 yard walk and the famous Frying Pan River is a five minute drive from the house. The new bike park in Crown Mountain Park is award winning and one of the best pump tracks/mountain biking and bmx offerings in the US.

Dog friendly with a qualifying discussion (and pet deposit).

We have a caretaker (detached separate entrance garage apartment) to assist with needs. Besides seeing a car come and go on the driveway the caretakers presence is unobtrusive and no impact to your visit.

Our myriad 5 ⭐️ reviews share that this is not a typical vacation rental but a home that is comfortable, inviting and a peaceful retreat in a world that has been a bit crazy lately. Enjoy!

BEAUTIFUL!

We spent most of our time in the backyard. It is beautiful and relaxing. There was a lot of things to keep the kids busy and having fun, and fishing for the guys. It is a quiet neighborhood but everything you need right around the corner. The house had plenty of room for my family of seven.

Conveniently located and well equipped!

This was not just a rental property but a great home! The location was very close to all the services and shops needed, but still had the feel of country life. The kitchen was well equipped, & the yard was full of games to keep the kids entertained while we cooked. The radiant heat kept the whole house warm and cozy. And the huge hottub was such an enjoyment after a long day hitting the slopes. Aspen Snowmass was only 20 minutes away and Sunlight Mountain only 35. The local trails along the Roaring Fork from the back yard was easy and fun for the kids.. Our only lowpoint staying with Doug was leaving!

I don’t even want to tell anyone how great this place is...

This property is one the rare online rentals that is better in person. I mean a crystal clear pond...with trout...and a zipline. Seriously? It truly has something for everyone, regardless of your age or interests. The location is unparalleled...equally isolated and in the middle of everything. I could go on, but I’d still like it to be available for our future stays!

Peaceful, Private, Perfect!

Wow! Look no further! Words cannot describe the beauty of this property. The home sits on nearly 2 acres of lush green grass with mature trees scattered perfectly around the property. Both the front and back yard are extremely private, providing a serene space where you can relax and focus on what’s really important in life. The inside of the home is very spacious and just as beautiful; stocked with everything you need and more! Our boys loved feeding the trout, ziplining, playing in the awesome treehouse, picking fresh tomatoes from the garden, and apples from the trees. We enjoyed playing croquet, badminton, cornhole, sitting in the hot tub, and cooking in the fully equipped kitchen. The Roaring Fork River is also very short hike away. Doug and Rebecca are top-notch hosts and made sure we felt at home and had everything we needed. Thank you for sharing your home with us. Our family is very grateful to have the opportunity to stay here.

Incredibly beautiful place to stay

We had a very memorable time at this property. The backyard, tree house, stream and the huge windows in the house were some of our favourite parts of this trip. The house is located in a beautiful community with a pond and is walkable from whole foods and a bunch of other stores. Our dog and babies had so much fun too. Doug was very responsive to all our questions and I would highly recommend this place!

Doug's Home in Basalt

Due to the Coronavirus pandemic, we weren't able to go on our trip or stay at this lovely-looking home. I want to thank Doug for his prompt communication when I booked his home months ago, but especially as the seriousness of the virus unfolded and his willingness to refund us. We are hoping to be back next year!

Dream house

This house features many amenities you can't see from the photos. There is a zip line in the back yard as well as a trampoline, tree house/jungle gym, fire pit and grills. The interior is beyond spacious with beautiful light, privacy, built in sound system, baby grand piano and dreamy kitchen. We used the house for overnight lodging and a team dinner on a work retreat and couldn't envision a better environment. Doug was also very communicative and accommodating. It was clear our enjoyment was his priority. Thanks Doug!

Wonderful Winter Vacation Home

I booked this house for a weekend birthday getaway for me and 9 friends, and it did not disappoint. The house is HUGE, with a great open floorplan ground floor and a group of gorgeous bedrooms on the second floor. The kitchen was large and provided everything we needed for group dinners each night. The dining room table provided plenty of space for 10 people, as did the living room area with a huge multi-sectional couch and a couple of super-comfy lounge chairs. The windows in this place are everywhere, floor-to-ceiling, and provide a great deal of lighting. This house has it all - great location, wonderful back yard, large hot tub, spacious kitchen, great bedrooms, and more! Would stay again, especially with the convenient distance to Aspen for snowboarding.

this property was amazing from all aspects. The backyard is simply spectacular with the tree house, trampoline, and zip line. My kids loved it and so did my wife and I. The neighborhood and proximity to the shopping center was perfect for groceries, dinners and a Starbucks run in the mornings.

About the host

Hosted by Doug

I am a Colorado native and my family and I have made the Aspen valley home for 30 years. My wife and three girls love where we live and embrace the mountain lifestyle we have chosen with enthusiasm. Hopefully we can share our wonderful home with you for brief time.

Why they chose this property

Our home is just that - a home - very comfortable - inviting and enjoyable. Not a typical vacation rental. We have wine in the wine cooler and sugar in the cupboard. If you use a bottle of white, please replace a new bottle. If you use the last of the sugar, please replace. Warm and inviting.

What makes this property unique

Small town living for big city people is how we describe where we live. It is a wonderful place to visit with all the amenities of an urban existence with fresh Rocky Mountain air, crystal clear rivers, incredible hiking, biking, skiing and culture right out the front door.
