About this property

Old Town Basalt Guest House

This unique guest cottage (1,000 sq. ft.) is located in Old Town Basalt. Tucked in the back yard of our home, it offers a neighborhood experience within walking distance
(4 min) to historic downtown Basalt and just steps away from hiking trails to Basalt Mountain and the Gold Medal Waters of the Frying Pan River. With private access and designated parking, this property is a special find as it was built by us with attention to detail and design. Mostly used as a private guest house for family and friends, we decided to open it up to guests and list it on VRBO. We are enjoying sharing this special spot with our guests! It offers one private bedroom upstairs with a king bed. There is additional sleeping space with two twin beds at the top of the stairway open to the hallway. The Bathroom and washer and dryer are also located upstairs. Downstairs features a fully equipped kitchen and living room with french doors opening to a patio and an additional sitting area overlooking the shared backyard and garden.
Shopping, hiking, biking, mountain biking, fly fishing, skiing, and dinning are all nearby. There is so much to do here, and we are happy to give you suggestions and point you in the right direction.

Perfect!
Quaint well stocked guesthouse on a beautiful piece of property just blocks from town. Lots of extras from this host - fresh flowers from their garden and homemade cookies! Great hike recommendations as well. We had a separate entrance and so felt we had our privacy. We would definitely stay here again!

Perfect Cozy Cottage
The cottage was absolutely perfect and beautiful! We enjoyed the ease of check-in/out, communication with Janie and the delicious homemade treats as we arrived! The proximity to the ski slopes and ease of slope shuttle was a positive. The town of Basalt is cute and many local food/ brewery options with great food and customer service, too! The cozy cottage was perfect for our family! It was spotless with all kitchen tools needed for cooking, laundry, and comfortable beds! Janine and Scott were quickly responsive if we had questions. We will stay here again, if it’s available for our future dates. Highly recommend! Janie and Scott, thank you for being great hosts!

Colorado Getaway
Our stay was exceptional! Janie and Scott were amazing host. Their home was absolutely lovely with great attention given to detail. Janie has truly thought of everything you could need for this beautiful property including a lint roller! For me, this stay was exceptionally clean! I travel with my own can of Lysol and lysol wipes. I am OCD when it comes to cleanliness! I had not a single worry! I can’t say enough wonderful things about our host! Thank you for making our stay exceptional!

House is very homey and has a great stylish vibe - exactly as shown in online photos. Lots of attention to detail in how the home is equipped and furnished too! Walkable to all the dining options in Old Basalt and easy drive to Aspen, Snowmass or rest of Roaring Fork Valley. Janie is a great hostess - responsive, friendly and full of information on things to do in the area!

Magnificent!
This cottage exceeded all expectations. It was like a scene from a dream or a movie. The attention to detail, and the cleanliness was extraordinary. The convenience to both Aspen and Glenwood Springs made it a great location. It was difficult to pack up and leave. A+

Amazing Retreat super close to all the Valley has to offer
The home is charming, neat as a pin and super private. We had our own parking and separate entrance to the property. All of the amenities were more than we could have asked for...from cozy clean and stylish sheets to various types of olive oil and pepper in the pantry, all of our needs were covered. Such an amazing value so close to skiing, hiking, and shopping in Snowmass, Aspen, Willits and Carbondale. We walked to coffee in the morning when we were not making it ourselves, and enjoyed strolling to/through town for dinner. Janie is the absolute best and was quick to respond to any and all of our questions. Wish I could live there!

The cutest little home with the cutest backstory! It was an easy drive to Snowmass and was a lovely place to hangout out during the day while everyone else skied. Would definitely return.
