About this property

Newhard Chalet-Great for Groups Families/Friends Going to Races, Fests, Weddings

Great for multi-generational family gatherings or groups of friends.

The original Newhard Chalet, built by the Newhard family, was the first vacation home in Snowmass Village, built in 1967. The current Newhard Chalet is a more contemporary mountain house, built in 2000. The home is on three levels on 1/2 acre adjoining a green belt, with aspen and spruce trees framing the house. Lots of areas for spending time together as a group, but also spaces to get away and recharge.

Enter the Chalet into a great room with a comfy seating area around the fireplace with a wall-mounted television, a dining area with two oval tables with seating in captain's chairs for up to 20 people, and a large, very well-equipped kitchen, all with valley and mountain views. Guest half-bath on the main level. The master bedroom with its own deck and full ensuite bath is located off the living room. Entry from living/dining area to deck with gas barbecue and all-weather chairs and tables.

The upper level leads to a loft bedroom with 2 twins and a balcony loft with 2 twins, plus a bathroom with a shower. The lower level has 3 queen bedrooms, a family room, 2 full baths, and a washer/dryer. The family room opens onto a lower patio with a large hot tub.

Free high-speed WiFi.

Exterior video surveillance at entry.

TVs in the family room, living room, and master bedroom - the family room has a DVD player with a selection of videos.

All linens, towels, soaps, paper products, and laundry detergents are supplied. Extra supply of personal care products.

Please note that ski season is from late November to mid-April. The summer season is from mid-June to early September. Off-season rentals are available at reduced rates.

There is an additional pet fee - two dogs max, no other pets allowed.

Quiet, residential area, so no parties or large events, and the main guest in charge of the booking must be 30 or older.

Keywords: Contemporary House in the Rocky Mountains with the ability to sleep up to 12 people, with hot tub, near ski slopes, hiking/biking trails, golf, tennis, fishing, entertainment, and recreation center nearby. Close to Aspen and on the free shuttle and bus routes. Very comfortable. Family groups, friend groups, wedding guests, dog-friendly. Well-appointed kitchen,

Wonderful house close to Snowmass

We had a great stay at the Newhard house. The location is perfect with easy access to the bus line (no need to rent a car). The host was very responsive and helpful with check-in. The house is clean and spacious. We will definitely stay here again next time we visit Aspen!

What a wonderful place to stay when coming to Snowmass (Aspen)

We had a great stay at the Newhard Chalet. It was comfortable, very clean, and with everything that we needed - comfortable beds, lots of shared space for reading, talking together, playing games, a very well equipped kitchen, a washing machine and dryer, strong wifi and a hot tub. The host was very responsive to our questions.The shuttle to Snowmass Village is just below the chalet and runs very frequently.Plus: the mountain views from the living room are beautiful.

Great location near Snowmass and bus access to Aspen

We had a fantastic stay at the Newhard Chalet over a long weekend. The property was as advertised and incredibley well stocked with anything that you might need in the kitchen area. Throughout the house things are well labeled with very clear instructions. The home was very clean and we enjoyed the private hot tub after a long day of skiing. Only a 8 min bus ride up to Snowmass and a 25 min bus ride down to Aspen. The bus stop is only a 1 min walk down the hill from the house so quite an amazing location. We'll certainly stay there again if we return to Snowmass / Aspen. We enjoyed the ski and Aspen themed artwork throughout the house. Thank you and can't wait to return!

Perfect

12 of us stayed at the Newhard Chalet this week and we all loved it. We are all skiers and love skiing Snowmass(although the conditions were marred by warm windy weather). We all had room to spread out. The kitchen was the most appointed rental kitchen we have rented. The mattresses were so comfortable. There was plenty of parking for us coming from different areas of the state and Wyoming. The bus system was so convenient to get to the mountain. The house manager lives above the garage and was “on it” with any needs we had( minimal) . The hot tub had not been serviced before we arrived but Rick made sure it was super clean and ready to use by the next morning. We love this house and plan on booking it again

Family Wedding

There were 9 adults and one dog staying here for a family wedding in Aspen. Most other events were in Snowmass so this was a convenient location. There were ample bedrooms and baths for our group. We didn’t cook much but this is the best stocked rental I’ve ever stayed in. It was perfect for our situation.

Great place in Aspen / Snowmass

We really enjoyed our stay at the Newhard chalet and would definitely return on our next visit to Aspen. The place is huge and the kitchen was well stocked. It was much more room than we needed than we needed for five adults! Communication was good we were able to have our groceries delivered before arrival.

Excellent Property & Management

This property is amazing with excellent room configurations. This property made it great for 4 couples to stay comfortable and enjoyable in the lovely mountains. The check-in process was great, and the property manager called us ahead of time to give us very specific driving instructions as there was road work in the area which was GREATLY appreciated for the heads up. Great property, and excellent ownership & management

Spectacular Group Rental in heart of Snowmass Village

We have nothing but amazing things to say about the Newhard Chalet! We booked this spot to house ourselves and close friends over our wedding weekend in Snowmass Village. It is perfectly set-up for a large group, and everyone had comfortable sleeping arrangements. The location can't be beat - and we enjoyed the brand new hot tub!

About the host

Hosted by Persie Newhard Nakonechny & Bix (Horace) Newhard

Host profile image
My daughter Persie helps with rental communications. That's us in the photo - skiing together.

I built the original house with my brother and friends in 1967. We were the first to receive a certificate of occupancy in the newly opened Snowmass Ski Resort. I continue to visit Snowmass frequently with family and friends.
The area is quite beautiful year round with world class sports, art and music activities ongoing. Events are suitable for a mix of ages and abilities.

Why they chose this property

I began skiing in Aspen with my brother in 1961, and had the opportunity to get in on the ground floor of Snowmass Ski Resort. My sister's children own a place nearby (the Snoke Chalet) and we created family vacations throughout the year to enjoy the area and each other's company.
Skiing conditions are unbelievably good, with splendid snow conditions and attention to grooming the hills throughout the ski season.
In addition to ski season, Snowmass Village is a lovely get-away for family and friends at all times of the year. Summer season is the time for the Aspen Music Festival, Balloon Festival, Aspen Food & Wine, and many other events in the area, as well as enjoying the Lost Forest adventure area on Snowmass Mountain.

What makes this property unique

Very well stocked kitchen for cooking for large groups. Ideal climate, great skiing, year round leisure. Excellent snow conditions are typical during the ski season. Off season offers many options for leisure, such as hiking, golfing, fishing, biking, fine dining, horseback riding, river rafting in summer, the beauty of seasonal changes, and a great place for multi-generational family reunions.
