Great campsite!

We felt very welcome. They were very accommodating and set us up with a fire pit, wood and chairs. We could hear the creek and it was very peaceful. I slept really well. One of the best nights of sleep I have had in a long time. I would stay here again and would recommend staying here.

I'm not sure how many spots they have, but ours was a bit tight with not a ton of flat space. We had two 1-man, and two 2-man tents. I'm not sure a 4- or 6-man tent would fit anywhere unless you moved the table. We were just there for a quick overnight so it didn't really matter, but I wouldn't want to stay there long term. There is no signage but the host did a good job with the texted directions. I assumed we were in the right spot because there was a picnic table and a fire ring. A great cheap option in Aspen for when you need to sleep and all the sites are full because of the holiday weekend.

Beautiful secluded camp. Nice to have access to a hot shower. Great deal!

Great secluded spot in Snowmass. We had a show in Aspen we went to and this was great for a place to put my head down afterward. Loved falling asleep to the sound of the creek.

My wife, friend, and our 3 dogs all stayed here while hiking around Crater Lake and I cannot say enough how great our stay was. Everyone was extremely friendly, the campsites are above and beyond what you'd expect for the price and each campsite is pretty private. We got stuck camping in a nice rain, but the rushing water next to camp and mountains behind us made it a perfect stay. Highly, highly recommend you check it out.

Great campsite to stay affordably near Aspen and Snowmass. However, the amenities listed were a bit hard to find and no map was provided. Once we did find them, the staff was incredibly friendly and helpful. We checked in late which was likely the main issue, but no firewood or fire starting equipment was provided as stated in the listing. Again, this was likely due to our late arrival. If you treat this site as you would any other camping grounds, it is fantastic! Even a clean port-a-potty! Overall, absolutely worth it!

Great location! By a beautiful creek, and had the whole camp to ourself!!

We had a wonderful time at Ali and Ryan's place. The deck is so peaceful with birds and chipmunks darting around and the sound of the river below. I enjoyed reading in the hammock while my husband cooked dinner on the BBQ. The indoor space is clean and comfortable with nice quality linens and towels. The kitchen had all of the basics for us to cook breakfast and dinner each day. The town of Basalt is just down the road and it's an easy drive to Aspen from the house. If we come back to the area, we would definitely stay there again.

Our stay in Basalt was great! Check in and check out was as simple as can be, and the apartment had everything that we could need! It was an awesome location, and made us really feel like we were staying in Colorado, not just a commercialized ski resort. Would visit again!!

Before we arrived, we received a wonderful manual via e-mail outlining lots of details about the house. Ali and Ryan have prepared a wonderful home manual that lists lots of helpful information about the surrounding area, nearby hikes, attractions, restaurants...When I inquired about the ease of a hike for my daughter, Ali responded quickly and with a wealth of extremely helpful information. The location of this house is perfect. Just far enough away that we felt removed, but close enough to a variety of things to explore. Our time here was the perfect mixture of relaxation and activity. And, did I mention hammock time while listening to the river flow? Bliss.

I just loved this place it was as described on AIRBNB , clean and communication with Alison was quick , about a 30 minutes drive from Aspen allows you to get to great hikes of all hikes I recommend the American Lake hike this hike will leave you with great memories ,it was less populated then Maroon Bells or Hanging Lakes . I will come back to stay if I come back in this area. Basalt is a cute town itself.

Great scenery and a Bird Sanctuary on the deck. We had rain challenges during our stay but the large deck with a cover grill area made all the difference. We stilled enjoyed the great outdoors.

We had a really lovely stay at the Margo A-Frame. Everything was just right, clean and comfortable, and boy did we sleep well. Even our 4 yr old slept like a log in the second bed. Alison was super easy to communicate with and we would love to return. Thank you!

Ali and Ryan's was the an excellent place to stay and my family and I feel in love with Basalt. A true gem.

Great place to stay, you can hear the river but your not really on top of it per se. It's split by a paved road and some land. But lets be honest, if your going to a place like this to stay your not spending a lot of time indoors. It's within a 30 minute drive to everything the mountains has to offer. I would stay there again in a heartbeat.

Aaron & Family. Thank you for welcoming me into you home. Comfortable, quiet, convenient and very well located. Parking, wifi and even a fridge in the room. As a novice airbnb'er, I greatly welcomed the advice on directions, local environment and logistics, as well as local sights to visit and places to eat. Thanks again. I hope to see you soon. Simon

Best airbnb stay ever!

Great place with a beautiful view of the river. Room had its own restroom and plenty of room to unwind! Really cool people to stay with.

Excellent value in an otherwise pricey area.

It was a nice stay, but we didn't have any idea as to which room was ours. we had to go knocking into all rooms, disturbed someone who was sleeping, we didn't even know if it was some other guest or the owner himself. we were not told if there would be any pets and all, there was a dog. He was very sweet though, but I didn't have any idea about it. I kinda freaked out when I saw something moving in pitch dark room(hadn't turned the lights on by then). The room was great and very neat and clean but there was a lot of confusion due to lack of communication between us. I just have a suggestion to the owner, please have some signs or inform the guest as to which is the guest room. Saw some guy in the morning(again not sure if he was the owner or some guest), who didn't bother talking to us. If he was the owner, then I would really say that he doesn't like to communicate. Haha!. Other than lack of proper signs in the house as to which is the guest room, it was a perfect stay. We really liked the house!

Very charming condo with a gorgeous view of a rushing river. Convenient location. Good price. Accommodating hosts. Room was good. Double sinks nice. I would recommend they get a more comfortable bed though.

Location is great, great common area, however the room itself could have been much cleaner.

Nice room with private bathroom! A great place to stay during a visit in colorado

Nice little place close to town, so we enjoyed the full Basalt treatment. Timbo's pizza is out of control.

We could not be happier with our stay! The place is in such a great location, about a 5 minute walk to town. My partner and I are in hotel management and we're very impressed with how clean and organized the place was. Five stars all around! We cannot wait to come back!

Very clean, nice little apartment. Margaret and Doug were welcoming and had some good recommendations for where to go and what to do. We enjoyed our stay.

Very quiet and peaceful neighborhood. Amazing studio. Highly recommend!!

Awesome place to stay, just 25 minutes to Aspen and the local town of Basalt offers everything you need.

Margaret's place was the perfect launching pad for a weekend of hiking in Aspen. The studio is tidy, well-designed, and private. It was wonderful to step outside to birds singing and a river flowing by -- quite a change from our life in the city of Denver! I would highly recommend staying at Margaret's AirBnB to any traveler looking to visit the Aspen area.

The frying pan studio was in a quiet and secluded location near some beautiful places. It would be easiest to have a car to get around. The kitchen had basic essentials so if you want to do cooking, you may want to ask what is available. The town of Basalt was very close and Aspen about 30 minutes away. The surrounding mountains were beautiful. Lots of hiking nearby.

Margaret was wonderful. Check in was easy and it's a lovely place.

A spacious, sunlit room that felt like its own hotel, separate from the rest of the living space, this Airbnb was very special. Aaron gave some great recommendations and I got to know the area's charm, even with just a short stay.

Great place, comfortable bed, nice clean bathroom/shower, it was ideal!

Aaron's place is in a great location! Within walking distance of shops and a few restaurants, and only 20-25ish minutes to Aspen resorts. The place was clean and her family is very friendly!

A great location close to skiing and the hot springs. The kids where respectful and well behaved. The dogs where incredibly sweet and loved being pet. Over all a great place that was clean and welcoming.

Aaron's space is lovely and very convenient. Her family was very welcoming and happy to accomodate any of our needs. Lots of fun lively action with the kids and dogs.

The apartment is very beautiful and homey. There are three dogs - all very amazing, friendly and energetic. They kept us great company! Aaron is excellent at communicating, even though she couldn't meet us until the next morning. Thanks again!

The condo itself is beautiful and in a great location for both downtown Basalt and getting to Aspen for skiing/snowboarding. However, when I got to the condo complex I realized that not only were the multiple buildings not labelled well (so I couldn't tell which one matched the address), but I didn't have a condo number after I booked. I called Aaron 3 times but got a voicemail every time. Luckily after a half hour of running around the complex I found a tiny label that identified the building I needed, and I was able to decipher the condo number from the front door code. I never received a call or even a text back, nor any kind of apology. To sum up: it's a nice place to stay, but be ready for a puzzle to find out where it is you'll be staying.

Nice quiet location.

Kevin was a fantastic host! Extremely knowledgeable about the area and very helpful. The place was great! Just what I was looking for, somewhere to decompress and take in the beauty of the mountains. The wide open space and breeze through the valley was perfect. The pictures and description are very accurate. I would highly recommend this spot. Thank you Kevin for everything! I will defiantly be coming back!

We enjoyed our stay at Kevin's ranch. The location was gorgeous, and Kevin was helpful and accommodating. If you're looking for a rustic, romantic spot off the grid, you'll enjoy Kevin's ranch!

Kevin is a very charming host. His place is beautiful, charming and welcoming. The property is super private, no visible neighbours. Very quiet and peaceful. I saw Elk, Eagles and lots of horses grazing near by. I would highly recommend booking your stay at the Painted Pony Ranch. There are facilities for your horses as well, with safe enclosed paddocks and a barn.

Great place to stay out of the hustle and bustle of Aspen. But, it's just a short ride away for your fix. I would agree with another reviewer in that if you are used to a Marriott stay, best to look elsewhere. Beautiful setting

We feel all kinds of lucky to have stayed at Kevin's ranch. My husband and I are on a two week road trip and this is our favorite place of the 6 places we've stayed. Kevin is warm and welcoming, and he went far out of his way to make sure we were comfortable and happy. He lives in an adjacent, new studio and looks after the horses and such. The scenery is not even believable. Insanely gorgeous. The house is eclectic, rustic, really charming, and comfortable. We visited hot springs, went hiking at Maroon Bells, and ate in Aspen a few times. Really remarkable trip and it will always be remembered. Lastly, I said this to Kevin personally and I'll say it here. Kevin is very world-traveled and has lived in some amazing places. It speaks VOLUMES that he has chosen to live here. It's fantastic.

What a slice of heaven! If you want access to all that the beautiful Roaring Fork Valley and Aspen have to offer without the hussle and bussle of throngs of tourists this property truly gives you just that. The house is a short drive from downtown Aspen's restaurants and clubs, Whole Foods, the Woody Creek Tavern, and the Snowmass Rodeo Grounds. The icing on the cake is the 1000 acres set aside by John Denver that is literally the back yard. The house is gloriously light filled and the views from the windows are stunning from sun up to sun down. My dog, my guests and I loved it here! Happily the nights were cool enough to have a fire in the gorgeous fireplace. This place is real mountain gem and so is Mr. Ward!

Well, I am planning to go back and stay at Kevin's in two weeks - that is how much I loved it. Kevin was such a wonderful host. He was very communicative and reached out to me before the stay to make sure I had directions. He gave me tons of tips for places to go and things to see. He stocked the fridge with orange juice and bagels, and even gave me a ride into town on Friday night. It honestly felt like I was staying at a friend's house. If Kevin is around, I would highly recommend taking some time to chat - he is so friendly and we had such good conversation. I came to Aspen/Snowmass for a peaceful, relaxing weekend, and Kevin's place was perfect. It is incredibly serene - a small pond, horses, dogs, and beautiful green pastures. It is only 15-20 minutes from downtown Aspen, from hiking trails, and from a monastery! The house is big and open and full of natural light. Its very eclectic and cool. Oh, and it is pet friendly! My pup LOVED running all around the property, checking out the horses and playing with the other dogs. I would highly recommend staying at Kevin's and cannot wait to go back!

Alexis and family were great! My son, husband and I stayed 8 nights for Spring Break and had a great stay. The home was very welcoming, as is the family- families, couplrs, or singles woukd enjoy stay. The location is quiet, with a great view, yet close to skiing- Smowmass and Aspen. The home is modern- yet traditional in some ways, well taken care of, clean and comfortable. The kitchen is all that you need, with a comfortable table and sitting area.. You have your own space , yet we really enjoyed getting to know such a great family! I give this visit- Five Plus Stars! I don't see anything that could of been done better. Thanks Again!!!

Perfect and exactly as advertised.

My fiance and I had a great time staying with Alexis and her family, despite how brief it was. The house and views were absolutely perfect for our quick trip to the mountains and we absolutely will be back to stay with them again. They are terrific people, very accommodating, and the house has everything you could need. Alexis went out of her way to provide us with food for breakfast, and even cooked muffins for us in the morning. The is the best value in the roaring fork valley!

Энни очень гостеприимная хозяйка, комната была очень чистой и много сделано комплиментов в виде завтрака. Постель мякгая и нам были предоставлены теплые и нежные одеяла. Очень красивый вид на реку на право. Недостатки - было холодно обогреватель ночью не справляется. На право вид с бек ярда скоростная шумная дорога. Очень маленькое жилье прям не развернешься. Плюсы- очень красивый вид. Хозяйка не беспокоит, собаки тихие приятная атмосфера зимы. Приезд очень удобный Энни правильно арентирует как пройти в жилье.

What a wonderful place! Anne was a wonderful host and her place was just what we needed. Cozy, convenient, and reasonably priced. She even provided snacks!! We'll definitely be back to this great spot. Thanks, Anne!

I cannot begin to explain how amazing this experience was for me and my girlfriend. Anne was so respectful of our privacy and left very descriptive details with how to enter the beautiful Private Bed and Bath. The outdoor area was a dream world with the river right in the back yard and amazing scenery. Thank you Anne! If we are ever back in the area I will definitely be in contact :).

Anne's place was everything I was looking for. I live in Denver and work in Aspen, Glenwood Springs, Basalt, Carbondale and many other surrounding cities. I loved the fact that her place was perfectly in between Aspen and Glenwood Springs. It only took me 25 minutes to drive into Aspen. For the price, the place is perfect! The Roaring Fork is right in the back yard and is breathtaking. You're about an 8 minute drive into Basalt which has a Whole Foods, Starbucks, gas station, and surrounding shops. The room is perfect for one person or two. The bed is very comfortable and the bathroom is very nice. I wasn't able to meet Anne because she was working and I was only there for one day but she makes it super easy to get into the house and leaves you with plenty of information on surrounding areas. I will definitely be reaching back out to Anne when I come visit this territory for work. My boyfriend is a fly fisherman so I will also use this location in the summer to stay at a place close to fishing. Thank you Anne for a wonderful stay!

Even though we haven't had a chance to meet Anne in person, she made everything smooth and easy for us. Her instructions were straight forward, very helpful. Superb communication -before, during, after- our stay. Her place is certainly as described; the view from the room is breathtaking! Very conviniently located; never had problem getting to Aspen and Snowmass Village although it was snowing all the time. We definitely would like to come back during summer!

I love this place. It's clean, bath and shower is really nice and the coffee/snack table was an unexpected bonus

We had a great stay at Anne's place just outside of Aspen. The room was clean and tidy and right next to a beautiful river. Would definitely recommend!

A very special set-up in the most charming property - ideal for touring Aspen!

My best stay ever. Ben and Margie are awesome! I will definitely be back.

Great couple and great location! Would recommend to anyone.

Margie and Ben were fantastic hosts and made my 4-day stay feel like home away from home. The location is in a nice, quiet neighborhood, and a short 10-min walk to the bus stop. They were very welcoming and ensured that I had everything I needed during the course of my stay. The house was very clean, nicely decorated and very comfortable to stay in. The bedroom had its own private bathroom, both of which were very clean and spacious. Both Margie and Ben were very easy to talk to and I very much enjoyed our conversations and story telling. I would gladly come back here again and would definitely recommend their place to others.

Very nice stay near the mountains, would absolutely recommend it. Margie and Ben were great host, smooth arrival, plenty of advice and super friendly :)

My stay was short yet warm and welcoming. Margie and Ben are great hosts who are very considerate and warm. Thoughtful and caring. Lovely condo home with easy access to main road. Everything was neat and clean and orderly. Had a great stay.

Ben and Margie were great hosts ! Full of information about the area. Considering a return visit in late July or early August. If available, I would book this opportunity again !

Everything went well, they came out and greeted me when I arrived. Very hel;pful and friendly.

Hosts were just great. My three night stay was easy and smooth. Nice room with private bath. Really liked the bed. Best part was the location....nice 10 minute walk to awesome center of Basalt.

The host canceled this reservation 257 days before arrival. This is an automated posting.

We could not have asked for a better host, location or overall experience. Virginia was very accommodating and helpful with our hectic schedule during a family wedding. I would definitely recommend staying here if you are in the area for a few days. The place was much larger than we expected and the amenities were top-notch. One of the best vacation rentals I've every stayed at.

Virginia and Rick have created a lovely, serene space. The home includes everything guests could want for an enjoyable experience. It is quiet and relaxing, and the views are magnificent! I look forward to a return visit.

If you want a beautiful, restful place to visit, Virginia and Rick's is the place! You really can relax and enjoy nature around you whether inside the house or in their wonderful gardens. We loved all the windows, which each had a great view to enjoy. The garden was full of little sitting areas, where again you enjoyed the view and bird life. Great location, fabulous house with everything you need for a great stay.

The home was lovely, clean, and well appointed. And nothing can beat the views!

Roomy comfortable home with wonderful views. Location is convenient for enjoying hiking and the communities up and down the valley.

This was the most lovely house. Views in all directions, beautifully furnished, and very comfortable. It was like staying with friends! I highly recommend this Airbnb for a perfect stay in Snowmass!

Travelled with my wife and infant on a very last minute trip to the Snowmass area and was fortunate to stay in this beautiful home with its amazing mountain views. Virginia and Rick were great hosts and provided us with everything we needed, in addition to helpful tips for exploring the area. We would go back in a heartbeat!

Quaint scenic cabin on the river. We loved waking up to the sound of the rushing River with coffee in hand. Conveniently located just a couple miles outside of basalt. It offered secluded scenery and convenient distance. Meant for close families and friends as there are no closing doors. Very cozy and a great value!

Our party of four used the cabin as a basecamp for skiing in Aspen. It was a chilly weekend and this cozy cabin with its various heating devices was the perfect place to come back to. That along with the beautiful views and constant bubble of the river made this an excellent place to stay.

It is a beautiful place and an awesome get away. Anyone will fall in love with the place. I recommend the place to everyone.

The host canceled this reservation 8 days before arrival. This is an automated posting.

This cabin is a beautiful, secluded vacation home that made our short weekend in Aspen perfect.

Jaked place is in the most beautiful location. The little A frame cottage is so cosy and a wonderful experience. We wamt to come back and see it in the summer!

We really enjoyed our stay here, it's a beautiful place!

The A frame location five feet from the Frying Pan River is heaven for fishermen, and blindingly beautiful even for those not interested in fishing. The amenities are fine. I would return for another week in a heartbeat.

This place reminded me of summer camp! We had the largest cabin and it was perfect for our big group. We would definitely come back here!

Good place to stay overnight amidst nature.

Great stay.

Gina's house and location in the Snowmass/Aspen area is amazing! The views out every window is spectacular. The home is clean, very comfortable, decorated beautifully and had everything we needed! Our trip was a ski vacation with our family and a couple friends...8 total. It was a perfect size house for that! The public transportation into Aspen/Snowmass and Basalt is easy and buses run all the time. Gina was quick to respond to any questions or issues. We felt right at home! I would jump at the opportunity you to visit and stay at Gina's again!

This house is in a beautiful location on a historic ranch with horses grazing outside the window. Out in the country, yet right near the highway for easy access to Aspen in 15 minutes. The house was perfect for our group of three couples. Gina is a perfect host and very accommodating. Thank you for hosting us for an amazing weekend!

Beautiful home, great location, awesome host!

Ginas place is simply amazing! It had everything we needed and we would stay there again for sure! Very clean, comfortably slept 5 adults, full kitchen and outdoor grill, wifi, nice deck, garage with opener and not to mention the views from the house. Spectacular. Thank you Gina for making our stay wonderful!!

The house is beautiful and clean that all my friends have a good night!

This home is a perfect escape near Aspen. Gina and Kirk were great hosts - very communicative and responsive to our needs.

We had a great time at Gina's place, she was proactive in her communication and very welcoming! The place is very nice and large enough so that every family in our group had ample space to themselves. Plus, the great views to make our mornings even better :-) Thanks for hosting us!

Robin, the host, was very welcoming. She gave us a tour of the property, offered access to a deck, and had arranged a water and coffee area outside our room. She was very friendly with our intimidating dog. Also, our room and bathroom were clean, and our room even had a little DVD library. Lastly, the picture of the property does not exaggerate its natural beauty. I wish I had a chance to enjoy a cup of coffee while watching the sun rise over the canyon and go for a hike behind the home.

Robin was an absolutely delightful hostess! Her easy smile, alway-affable demeanor, and local knowledge made for a perfect mountain escape. Her home is set in a beautiful location just outside of Basalt. I loved the early morning jogs along the frying pan river beneath the towering red rocks, as well as the easy access to the quaint downtown area. Robin was extremely hospitable and generous with her time. I had everything I could possibly need during my stay. Without question, I will be returning for another stay in the not-so-distant future.

I was in town for Aspen Ideas Fest but arrived a few days early to spend some time in nature. Robin was a warm and accommodating host and I loved hearing about her life over a glass of wine on the porch. She would send me emails with interesting happenings about town. It was very much like staying with a friend. The room itself is on the second floor and to access the porch, which has some of the most stunning views of the sunrise and sunset I've seen, you'll walk through the kitchen downstairs, which is the level Robin lives and works on. There is little cell service, though I have AT&T and was able to send and receive texts from the bed. But that was fine by me as I was really coming to disconnect from the world. If you're needing to do work or be connected to the internet/phone, etc. this may not be the place for you. I personally enjoyed spending a few hours a day at the beautiful public library downtown. The hiking nearby is exceptional. I spent hours everyday hiking along the old covered-wagons trail outside the house, the woods around the reservoir up the road, all over. While there is a small kitchenette upstairs with a small fridge and whatnot, if you would like to cook and are looking to prepare food regularly during your stay this is probably not the place for you. But Robin has fantastic local dining recommendations (and there are some really great spots in town). Overall, this was a fantastic experience and would highly recommend to anyone looking to spend some time in nature.

My husband and i had a great weekend at Robin's beautiful home! The house is nestled against a gorgeous red canyon about 5-10 minutes from downtown Basalt which is adorable. Robin was extremely welcoming and kind. The room is on a separate floor from where she stays and includes a private bath. Everything was clean and spacious. Robin was very helpful in giving direction as we made plans and a great person to get to know. I'd definitely recommend this spot for a quiet getaway. Thanks Robin!

We enjoyed our stay, caught a bunch of fish, and very much enjoyed talking with you, Robin. Everything we hoped for. Gary and Maryanne

Description of the room(s) was spot on. Robin was an excellent hostess and as head of the Basalt chamber of commerce is a great resource. The room was comfortable and the location was great for anyone interested in hiking or fishing. Basalt is a great mountain town and very dog friendly.

This was the perfect spot for a mountain getaway. The house is tucked away in a beautiful, remote area that is still easily accessible to town (10 minutes), and walking distance to the Frying Pan river. Robin was a wonderful host, very accommodating (even to our dog!). The room is great for a solo traveler or a couple, if you don't mind sharing the home. Basalt is a great little town, nice that it's not super crowded with out of towners like some of the bigger mountain towns. Not to mention it's beautiful. Highly recommended!

Robin was a welcoming, friendly and engaged host. On arriving I said I was interested in locating my uncle's house somewhere nearby, where I had stayed almost forty years earlier, but was reluctant to just poke around the neighborhood. Robin insisted we jump in the car look around, ask neighbors, etc. It was great fun and we found it! Robin is very busy in her position at the Chamber of Commerce, but her inside knowledge of the area was a real positive. I really appreciated an advanced look and the next days online fishing report. I hope to return again soon.

Kelly and Bryan's place is fantastic! I really love how you can walk right thru the park into Historic Basalt where everything is. I would definitely recommend this place to anyone looking for a perfectly located place to stay.

Great location, very quiet neighborhood, close to historic downtown Basalt. Very clean apartment with new amenities.

Basement apartment, so you do have stairs to deal with, but the apartment is very spacious and up to date. You have a Kuerig coffee maker, microwave and refrigerator. Big screen TV was great. This place was very clean, and close to downtown Basalt. Great value for this area.

Kelly's place is a great location with a very convenient, separate entry/exit door. We ran into her husband but never actually had the opportunity to meet Kelly herself. Very clean place and nicely finished. My wife and I shared the queen bed which sloped towards the middle and may not be ideal for someone with back problems, but apart from that everything was perfect! Had a great stay.

The host canceled this reservation 141 days before arrival. This is an automated posting.

Kelly's place was a great fit for me, my brother, and my dad while we were fishing the Fryingpan. It's spacious and comfortable and close to everything we wanted.

It was great! The place was exactly what we needed. It was very clean, and Kelly was very friendly and helpful.
