Always the perfect trip!

We travel a lot. There are few places our family of four always agrees on going back too or all get excited about unitedly! This is the place. Always relaxing by the river. We love walking in town for meals. Great location to all things we enjoy doing. The host is amazing and easy to communicate with. We have been going for years and have found nothing we like better! So we plan on going every year in the future!

Remarkable Refuge along the River

Terrific alternative to a boring hotel room. Perfectly kitted out cabin along the banks of the Frying Pan. Perfect for couple and kids or 2-3 friends. Walk to restaurants and shops in Basalt in 3 minutes. Easy drive to Snowmass and rapid transit parking lots. Loved our stay here as a base for skiing in the valley. Would be extraordinary in summer.

Small piece of Heaven.

The property is truly stunning. Cabin was the perfect size for my dear friend and I. Walking 10 yards to the frying pan river was fabulous. Also, it’s a short walk to town. Absolutely loved this property and will definitely be back!

Favorite Trip

We look forward to this trip every year. From my fly fishing husband to my teenage son to my little daughter we all enjoy being here! Walking in to town for breakfast, having wine by the riverboat night. It’s very cozy and a perfect family trip or romantic trip for two. I’m torn between telling people how wonderful it is or not telling anyone to keep it a secret! I don’t return many places that we travel because I always love something new. This is my one exception….. love it

Best Location

Lovely cabin. We enjoyed coffee every morning sitting by the Frying Pan River and we walked into Old Town in the evenings for dinner. We were convenient to hiking trails and the Roaring Fork River for rafting adventures. Highly recommend!!

Fantastic location on the river!

Our family of 4 enjoyed our stay at Christy’s cabin- you can’t beat the location. We enjoyed lounging by the river and walking into town to the Tipsy Trout. The kids loved the hammock and it was nice being able to fish right out your door. The cabin was very clean and cozy!

Perfect little retreat

We stayed at the Basalt cabin for three nights and it was perfect for the two of us. We loved the setting and the easy walk to restaurants in town was a plus. 1 short block and you are in town but feel like you are away from everything at the cabin and have privacy from the main house on the property. The owners are super friendly but do not bother you. Their dogs come for a visit daily and we loved that since we missed our dogs at home. You won't be disappointed. The cabin is clean, comfy and cozy and well appointed. We cannot wait to return.

Fall leaf peeping, fishing, painting and relaxing

This is a great location. Close to town but feels more remote. Easy walk to restaurants in town, short drives to fishing access and not too far from Aspen proper and Independence Pass. It is a small but comfortable cabin and nicely decorated. Picnic table and seating right out your door next to the creek. It is situated along the drive to the main house which you can see but felt private enough. They have very cute and friendly dogs who like to say hello. The freestanding gas fireplace heats up the cabin nicely on chilly evenings. There was both a Keurig and drip coffeemakers. The drip has a built in grinder so can take whole or preground beans. It was perfect for the two of us for a few days away to take in he sights, fish, paint and relax.

About the host

Hosted by Christy Clettenberg

Host profile image
We are longtime locals and love calling Basalt home. It's the best of all worlds to be able to walk into town for dining/entertainment and then to sleep to the sounds of the river.

Why they chose this property

Lodge at River's Edge was purchased and extensively remodeled in 2015. It is a family owned and operated business. We take pride in providing luxurious accommodations along with the beautiful surroundings. No where else in this Valley are you able to find a riverfront setting where the river literally runs past your front door. Plus you are only a 1/2 block from downtown Basalt. It's the best of both worlds. You can enjoy cocktails on the riverfront terrace and then walk into Basalt for great dining and music.

What makes this property unique

It is located on the banks for the Frying Pan River. You can literally fly fish from your front door.
