Description Rocky Moose: Aspen

The location of this cosy apartment is the first thing that struck us. In the heart of Aspen, just two blocks from the Aspen Mountain gondola, it couldn’t be much better placed. The interiors are warm and inviting, and it’s well set up for larger families or groups of friends travelling together. The two bedrooms and the sleeping den each come with their own en suite bathroom for added convenience. The centrepiece of the large living space is the wood-burning fire – the perfect tonic after a day of adventures at Snowmass Ski Resort. Spend your days on the slopes (the hosts can arrange lift tickets and ski delivery for you), then come back to your apartment for some après-ski on the patio followed by a warming soak in the shared hot tub. In the summer months, there’s an outdoor swimming pool to enjoy as well.

Home truths:
*There’s a queen-size sofa bed in the sleeping den, which has folding doors to close it off from the main living area
*The apartment is on the third floor and there’s no lift, but the hosts can provide help with your luggage if you let them know in advance
*If you’re booking a stay in April, May, October or November, check to see whether the hot tub and pool are available
