"Spectacular!" is the typical comment about this property. In a stunningly beautiful area just above the Fryingpan River and 5 miles from Basalt, this property is nestled in the Seven Castles with red rock buttresses on the north and aspen and oak hillsides on the south. The home is beautiful on the inside too…it’s spacious, modern, and perfect for entertaining! It has a well-equipped open kitchen with a comfortable bar, a spacious living room, and is fully furnished with 2 bedrooms and an open room with a queen futon. One of its nicest features is the lovely patio off the dining room which has an outside dining table, comfy seating, a hot tub, and great views. For your well-behaved pets, there is also a large fully-fenced yard. And, the home is decorated with original art by the owner and her art collection.
Five miles up the gorgeous Fryingpan Road from Basalt, the home is only 24 miles from Aspen and 22 miles from Snowmass Village which together feature 4 of the best ski areas in the world as well as many great restaurants and fun activities. Glenwood Springs with its famous hot pools and spa is only 33 miles away!
There is hiking right out the back door below the beautiful Seven Castles, snowshoeing in the winter, world-class fishing on the famous Fryingpan River, and of course, world-class skiing 30 minutes away.

Beautiful location!
We truly enjoyed our stay at Seven Castles. The area itself is magnificent; and the outdoor area of the house was private, cool in the shade, and offered a great place for outdoor dining and lounging. The house itself has a very interesting layout; and we so enjoyed the owner's paintings and sculptures. A little TLC in cleaning and decluttering would have rated well for us. As I often say in VRBO ratings, I would appreciate one great nonstick skillet with good plastic utensils; and a couple of sharp knives with a new plastic cutting board. Often there is emphasis on quantity... though the All Clad pans were terrific! Thanks for a great stay--we really enjoyed it.

Beautiful house

About the host

Hosted by Jocelyn Audette

Host profile image
I'm a professional artist who was raised in Colorado and in 2015, I found this most amazing home! I decided to move back to my home state and explore the Rocky Mountains again. Since I often paint landscapes, I find constant inspiration in the beautiful surroundings of the Seven Castles area. I also love hiking, snowshoeing, skiing, and biking, and all of it is available nearby! And I hear that you can't find better fly fishing than the Fryingpan, although I mainly use the river for painting inspiration or as a place for my dogs to swim.
In addition to landscapes, I do pet portraits. To see my work, go to my web site which is my name, JocelynAudette.

Why they chose this property

I found this property when I was visiting Colorado and fell in love with it. However, I love to travel and often take off in my motor home with my dogs to explore other painting locations. This home is so wonderful that I wanted to share it with other travelers who will hopefully enjoy it as much as I do, AND take great care of it!

What makes this property unique

I love that this home is in a uniquely beautiful place, and yet only 5 miles from town. I can hike, bike, and snowshoe right out my back door, and because it has a fenced yard, my dogs can be safe (although I never leave them alone). There are deer and bighorn sheep, foxes, bald eagles, hawks, turkeys, and even the occasional black bear. It's a very special place!
