Downtown Beauty (284215)

Come to Aspen for your next alpine retreat, and stay in this cozy downtown condo for ultimate convenience. You and your family and friends will be close to year-round outdoor activities, as well as an abundance of dining and shopping options.

Situated in Chateau Aspen, this condo is centrally located in the heart of the city and near the slopes. You'll be two blocks away from public transportation that will take you to Snowmass and Highlands. And you'll have City Market, the local grocery store, right across the street from you.

The living area is comfortable and inviting. Recline on the soft sectional sofa lined with pillows and let your worries drift away. Play some music on the stereoCD player while you adjust to your new home, or stream a movie via your personal Netflix account and watch it on the flatscreen cable TV.

Use the breakfast bar for four to start your mornings off with coffee and the complimentary WiFi so you can locate attractions, get directions, and plan your day. In the evening, enlist your guests to sit here and help with dinner prep or just keep you company. The galley-style kitchen is lovely with stainless steel appliances - including a dishwasher - and lots of counter space. When your creation is complete, enjoy it together at the round, glass-top table for four. And if you're in the mood for a cookout, the community gathering area has a gas grill for your use.

At bedtime, this two-bedroom, one-bath rental sleeps up to four guests. The master bedroom features a king-size bed, a wall-mounted flatscreen TV, and sliding glass doors to the outside. In the second bedroom, you'll find two twins that can be pushed together to create a king. This versatility makes this vacation condo an excellent choice for a small family or two couples traveling together. There's also a washerdryer, so you can pack light for your trip.

Activities and options abound here. In the winter, walk to the lifts, just two blocks away, and hit the mountain for a full day of top-notch skiing or boarding. Those looking for more sedate activities will enjoy taking to the backcountry for snowshoeing or cross-country skiing. Plan a tour with Ashcroft Ski Touring, or head to the Aspen Public Golf Course for Nordic skiing, just two miles away.

In the summer, the golf course is a great place to get out and enjoy the beautiful Colorado sunshine while you work on your swing. Do some hiking or mountain biking, or take to the water for some rafting or fishing. Treat yourself to eclectic shopping and world-class dining in downtown Aspen. And at the end of your busy days, kick back and enjoy your beautiful surroundings in the community gathering area at the condo while you sip a hot toddy by the outdoor firepit.

Come to Aspen for your next Rocky Mountain getaway, and make this lovely condo your home away from home. Reserve it today and get ready for the fun!
