Sweet + Simple Mountaintop

Looking for something outside of the downtown hustle and bustle? This comfortable, three-bedroom, one level home might suit your vacation needs.

A portion of the green yard to the south is fenced. No garage, but a very long driveway to park cars and toys. For ease and grace arriving, the house is ready-made, stocked with linens, paper products and soaps. It's really the perfect mountain house for your Colorado adventures.

The home was clean, well furnished, and had an awesome fenced-in area that our dog loved. Finding a dog-friendly home that also rates high for humans is not always easy. I’ve stayed in a lot of vacation rentals and the mattresses in this home were above and beyond the most comfortable. I’d happily stay again.

Fantastic house and location to ski areas

Loved our 2-week ski stay at this lovely house on the mountain. Wildlife was such a treat to see--mule deer, turkeys and a fox! The house was spacious, clean and very comfortable. The kitchen had all pots/pans and utensils we needed to cook in the mornings and evenings. Check-in/out was a breeze. Highly recommend this property!

We just returned from a week to ski Snowmass and stayed here. Very clean, well-organized, nicely decorated, well-stocked and warm. Super comfortable and felt very much like home. Lots of little nice touches throughout. Easy drive to Aspen and Snowmass. The host was so nice and made everything incredibly easy. This place could not have been nicer for us.

Great House, Great Neighborhood

The home is located at the top of the hill above Downtown Basalt and it was easy to pop into town for meals or shopping, yet it felt private and quiet. And we saw deer and turkeys in the neighborhood every day! The home is very well equipped and laid out, and very clean. Our family has three vacation rentals in Florida and we know a well-run property when we see one! We would stay here again.

Great Place

We were there for several weeks. Property had a great, private location in the hills above old downtown Basalt with a moderate walk to town. Picture are accurate. The place was very clean, well appointed, and had plenty of room for four adults. Kristen, the host, was always responsive with the few small issues that came up. We definitely would stay again.

Great Place to Stay in Basalt

This home is super clean and well appointed for your stay and no details are left to chance. We ate out our meals so did not use the well- equipped kitchen but it had everything you need. Communication with the owner’s representative was easy and all of our questions were answered. The home is located high on the hills overlooking downtown Basalt with tremendous views of Mt. Sopris and surrounding mountains.

Wonderful Mountain Home in Basalt

Great location in a quiet neighborhood above the town. 5 min drive to wonderful local restaurants and 30 min to skiing in Aspen or Snowmass. Kristen was super helpful making sure the house was warm and lit for our late night arrival and offered plenty of suggestions to make our stay even better. Comfortably slept a family of four with room to spare. Super clean and well provisioned--made for a great stay. Thanks for everything!

Great Angling and Great Accommodations

We come to Basalt to fly fish every year and have been fortunate to stay in Sweet + Simple a couple of times now, and we'll be back. Easy access to the great Frying Pan River, Taylors Fly Shop and Frying Pan Anglers, Twin Rivers for breakfast and all of the other restaurants in Basalt. House sits on top of the mountainous hill overlooking the valley, great views of Mt. Sopris. Super clean and well-equipped down to a new toothbrush if you forgot yours. And turkeys and mule deer in the yard almost every day. Enjoy your stay!

The perfect mountain retreat

I stayed here for a week with 3 friends and it was the perfect retreat for us. The house was clean and well-stocked with essentials. There was plenty of space for all of us and our ski gear. Even with other houses nearby, it felt nice and secluded being at the top of hill. The views from the backyard were great to take in every day. It was only about 15-20 minutes to Snowmass and Buttermilk, which made for easy drives to and from the slopes. Kristen was very easy to communicate with and ready to answer any questions we had. Would absolutely stay here again.

Quiet, simple and exactly what we needed

We came up for a week stay with our two young kids and two golden retrievers. The host was very nice and had very good communication with us the whole time. We really appreciated the location, it was very quiet, safe and has beautiful views of the town below. Nice sized fenced in backyard, perfect for our dogs and kids. The house had everything we needed and plenty of space. There is no AC, but they did have portable fans and swamp cooling fans that we could use. It gets cool at night, so we just opened up the windows to cool the house down. About a 5 minute drive down the hill to the town below. The town of Basalt is super cute, plenty of areas to explore and hike, restaurants to enjoy and very kid and dog friendly spots scattered around the town. Very close to the river and about 10 mins from a BMX park, shopping and several other outdoor activities. The house is 30 mins to Aspen and 30 mins to Glenwood springs, perfect location to take day trips to either. We would definitely come back and stay again, we really enjoyed it
