About this property

This unique guest cottage (1,000 sq. ft.) is located in Old Town Basalt. Tucked in the back yard of our home, it offers a neighborhood experience within walking distance
(4 min) to historic downtown Basalt and just steps away from hiking trails to Basalt Mountain and the Gold Medal Waters of the Frying Pan River. With private access and designated parking, this property is a special find as it was built by us with attention to detail and design. Mostly used as a private guest house for family and friends, we decided to open it up to guests and list it on VRBO. We are enjoying sharing this special spot with our guests! It offers one private bedroom upstairs with a king bed. There is additional sleeping space with two twin beds at the top of the stairway open to the hallway. The Bathroom and washer and dryer are also located upstairs. Downstairs features a fully equipped kitchen and living room with french doors opening to a patio and an additional sitting area overlooking the shared backyard and garden.
Shopping, hiking, biking, mountain biking, fly fishing, skiing, and dinning are all nearby. There is so much to do here, and we are happy to give you suggestions and point you in the right direction.

Perfect Cozy Cottage

The cottage was absolutely perfect and beautiful! We enjoyed the ease of check-in/out, communication with Janie and the delicious homemade treats as we arrived! The proximity to the ski slopes and ease of slope shuttle was a positive. The town of Basalt is cute and many local food/ brewery options with great food and customer service, too! The cozy cottage was perfect for our family! It was spotless with all kitchen tools needed for cooking, laundry, and comfortable beds! Janine and Scott were quickly responsive if we had questions. We will stay here again, if it’s available for our future dates. Highly recommend! Janie and Scott, thank you for being great hosts!
