The detail

Nestled in the heart of the mountains and featured in glossy magazines and luxury travel guides, this alpine-style cabin has been lovingly crafted by the host family. The cathedral-height windows in the living room frame a breathtaking view of the snow-capped La Plata mountain, making it impossible to forget that you're in a mountainous paradise. Imagine the cosy satisfaction of lighting up the Vermont-made hearthstone stove while snowflakes dance outside. Alternatively, the bubbling hot tub on the terrace offers a lavish way to stay warm as you soak in the serene surroundings.

The cabin's interior is the epitome of mountain-chic style, adorned with fur throws and knitted blankets that perfectly complement the clapboard walls. Stepping out onto the veranda, you'll be enveloped by a sense of calm, as towering pine trees provide privacy and a feeling of seclusion far from the hustle and bustle of civilization. For those eager to explore the great outdoors, the trailheads for Mt. Elbert and La Plata are a mere two-minute drive away, and the cabin is conveniently situated at the base of the stunning Independence Pass drive to Aspen.

For those looking to venture out, the Rocky Mountains boast some of the best skiing opportunities not just in North America, but globally, with Colorado being a prime destination. During summer, the hiking trails are equally inviting, offering a different kind of adventure. Aspen, renowned for its après-ski chic, is brimming with year-round activities. Whether you're in the mood to relax or party, you'll find an array of elegant restaurants and bars perfect for unwinding after a day of outdoor pursuits.

Beyond sports, Aspen offers excellent shopping and walking tours that delve into the area's rich history and natural beauty. In the summer, the Aspen Music Festival transforms the town into a lush, green haven, with blue skies gracing the landscape throughout the year. This combination of natural beauty, luxurious accommodations, and a wealth of activities makes for an unforgettable mountain retreat.
