Unfortunately, we were unable to safely access the property this weekend. Although the listing stated that 4WD was required, the road was completely unmaintained and extremely icy to the point that our 4WD vehicle began sliding backwards down the hill.Additionally, there was no cell service or Wi-Fi available, and one member of our group slipped and was injured while attempting to walk down the driveway due to the icy conditions hindering the rest of their weekend. Because the property was not safely accessible and the conditions were not adequately disclosed in the listing, we did not feel it was safe to stay. We are requesting a full refund due to these safety concerns. We understand weather isunpredictable, but the lack of road maintenance and safety disclosure made the property inaccessible despite following the listing's requirements.Please let us know how you'd like to proceed. Thank you.

Very clean, very peaceful. Perfect location between Aspen, Marble and Glenwood springs. Be sure to follow the check in steps, meaning you want to arrive in the day time. Definitely missed having wifi as you needed to drive into Basalt to do any research.

Nice place close to the Frying Pan

The location of the cabin is great! Great access to the Ruedi Reservoir and Frying Pan River. Place could be a bit cleaner as there is a bit of a mice problem, but not something I can complain too much about. Would still recommend as the cabin is nice spot to get away into nature.

Cost Effective Ski Lodging

We stayed here to ski a few days in Aspen. The cabin is just under an hour away, and it was perfect. Spacious and comfortable, and much more affordable than the lodging closer to the resorts. We would have loved to stay longer.

We enjoyed Lazy Bear cabin and it’s tranquil setting. We saw a bear and two deer fawns with their mamas. We wished it was closer to our planned activities, and that the electric grill worked. Overall, it was a great way to spend some quality time with our adult kiddos! Thanks, The Parker’s
