About this property

Above it All - Highest rental house on the hill!

This house, at 35 Janss Lane, is 5 homes from the very top of Wood Road, which runs up the center of the mountain. Our view incluces everything from Daly Peak to Sam's Knob, Big Burn, the Cirque, High Alpine and Elk Camp. The ski access takes you to the bottom of the SECOND lift, Coney Glade, letting you avoid all the crowds at the bottom of the mountain. With a week ski pass and groceries, you would enjoy incredible privacy - or you could go to Aspen and schmooze with the glitteratti. Easy ski-in access is just indirect enough to preserve your privacy - there are three alternatives to ski or walk out.

Four bedrooms with en-suite baths, all with mountain views - two kings, one twin, one quad. Sleeps 10. Hot tub accommodates 8 or more. Wireless high speed internet; all the usual TV and audio equipment. Weber gas grill on the deck.

Ready and waiting for your perfect vacation!

Our Favorite

This is our second stay, and it's just the perfect house in Snowmass. Feels like a spacious and comfortable family vacation home, not some generic rental property. Incredible views of the resort. Can't wait until next time..l

Fun stay in snowmass

Carol was a pleasure to work with. I had to email her on several occasions and she always responded quickly. The views from the house were spectacular. The house was well equipped. My only suggestion is have better soap for the bathrooms or inform guests up front to bring their own. The little bars were of no use. We bought our own. The ski in is ok if there is snow on the road. The ski out is quite an uphill climb, but better than waiting on a bus!😎

Cozy home, ideally located!

Pulling into the beautiful home on Wood Rd (far up the Snowmass Mountain), we knew we were in for a wonderful treat. Not only is the home perfectly located for ski in-ski out, it’s a short drive to the base village and the mall. Our stay met all of our expectations—clean, convenient, welcoming, and packed with comfort. It’s clear to me that the owners love to enjoy the home themselves and open it up to guests so they can enjoy it too. We had a group of 8 and plenty of room to spread out. The slope side hot tub was the perfect place to recover from a long day of skiing. The wood burning fireplace ensured we could bask in the comfort of a hot fire during the cold nights. The large kitchen brought the family together but the four bedrooms, primary living room and secondary living room provided plenty of solitude as the evenings concluded. We look forward to returning.

Family Ski Trip

The 35 Janss home is a great place for a family ski vacation. From the time you walk in you feel like you're at home! The ski in / ski out access allows everyone to be on their own schedule if they like - from the early risers who skin up the mountain to the people taking lessons, and the all day skiers. A quick easy run to the Village Express lift and you're off for the day. The accommodations are top notch. A very well stocked kitchen, comfortable beds, fireplace that works well, and the views are second to none. This was our second time renting the home and we'll be back.

About the host

Hosted by Carol Ward

My husband and I, both physicians, bought this lot in 12 hours sight unseen when my brother, a local real estate agent, called to tell us that it had gone on the market. I grew up in the Aspen area, and knew how special this lane is. Even though we were not thinking retirement, both of our sons ended up going to college in the west, and this home that we built quickly became our favorite holiday haven. Skiing, snowboarding, fishing, hiking, pack trips through the mountains, summer concerts - We love it all.

Why they chose this property

For years we considered buying, because our family didn't fit well into my brother's or my mother's home. Not until the perfect lot became available did we consider buying and building. We look down at the valley AND up at the ski hill - on a special little ridge off Wood Road, where several of the very first homes were built. (Mr. Janss was the original developer of Snowmass.) With binoculars, you can see this house from every high point on the mountain.

What makes this property unique

The house is spacious and every bedroom has a view. The two 'kids'' rooms - 6 twin beds in two rooms with intervening rumpus area - are separated from the 'adult' king bedrooms by a whole floor, allowing privacy. The hot tub is on the lowest level with the kids rooms. The large deck is off the living-dining room kitchen. The steam shower and the Jacuzzi, inside, are good for tired bones, as well. The fully appointed kitchen makes large meals for many people an easy assignment. We have every book you never read in high school, as well as best sellers, thrillers and beach trash. And we have a piano.
