4 Nights in a Private Home at the Base of Aspen Highlands Ski Resort
We're taking a break from our typical tropical vacation and seeing what Aspen has to offer. Turns out... a lot! And the greatest value was the incredible home we got to stay in.
This four story, four bedroom, winter palace was at the base of Aspen Highlands ski resort. A very short walk to the slopes and the Ritz Carlton, where Inspirato members have access to the pools, spa and fitness center. Before we arrived, we had no idea how convenient the location would be.
The kids have never skied, and we're not about to put them in ski school during the pandemic, so we wanted to find other ways to fill our days with adventures we could social distance during. But this episode isn't about our excursions – stay tuned to this playlist for all of those. This episode is about the home.
The night we arrived, we ordered dinner from Aspen Alehouse (a 2 minute walk) and it was ready in less than 15 minutes. We also took that short walk to have a heated outdoor lunch at The Ritz-Carlton and watched the skiers come up and down from the mountain. The location was fantastic – especially considering the pandemic.
We loved cooking in this home! After the first night, we made all our dinners in this wonderful kitchen – and grill. It was the perfect evening to have after a day full of snow and being outside. The kids enjoyed the hot tub while Phil and I warmed up by the huge fireplace and sipped on our cocktails. The cozy factor was at a 100!
We loved this house and would be happy to stay here again. However, there are so many other incredible homes in Aspen to explore from the Inspirato portfolio. We'd love to come back in the Summer and see what the warmer months have to offer. We'd also love to come back when this stupid COVID thing is far behind in the rearview mirror so we can check-out the Aspen night life.
Whatever the case, I know we'll be back with our Inspirato Pass. If you want to learn more about how we travel like this for $0 nightly rates, reach out to us by visiting followabc.com/pass.
