Welcome to your mountain getaway in the heart of historic Old Town Basalt, a perfect year-round escape in the stunning Roaring Fork Valley. This spacious, beautifully appointed 1-bedroom, 1-bath condo sits directly on the Roaring Fork River, less than 50 feet from the water, close enough to fall asleep to the sound of the current and step outside for a cast before breakfast.

On the River

The private balcony overlooks the river, and fly fishermen wade the riffles right below the building throughout the season, so you can fish from your own back patio without driving anywhere. Whether you're here to fish the Gold Medal waters right out back, float the river, or just relax on a deck above the water, this spot keeps the river as the main event.

Whether you're here for a romantic weekend or a family trip, everyone rests easy.

In Downtown Basalt

Three blocks from downtown Basalt, you can walk to top-rated restaurants, coffee shops, galleries, the grocery store, and the summer concert series, all on foot. The Rio Grande Trail runs along the river for biking and walking, and RFTA bus access nearby makes it simple to reach the four Aspen Snowmass ski mountains without needing a car in winter.

In the Mountains

Tucked in the heart of the Colorado Rockies, this condo puts you within easy reach of some of the state's most iconic mountain scenery. The four Aspen Snowmass mountains, Aspen Mountain, Aspen Highlands, Buttermilk, and Snowmass, are about 20 minutes away or a short RFTA ride, offering everything from mellow groomers to legendary expert terrain.

When the snow melts, those same mountains open into an incredible hiking network, along with valley trails right out your door. For a more adventurous day trip, the historic mining town of Marble is worth the drive, known for its marble quarry (source of the stone used in the Lincoln Memorial), rustic charm, and access to hikes like Crystal Mill, one of the most photographed spots in Colorado. Nearby Redstone adds another dose of mountain history, with its coke ovens and a scenic drive along the Crystal River.

Year-Round Activities

Winter: World-class skiing, snowboarding, snowshoeing
Summer: Fly fishing, hiking, mountain biking, festivals
Fall: Some of the best aspen foliage in the state, quiet trails, wine tastings

Easy access to Carbondale, Glenwood Springs, and the Maroon Bells Scenic Area rounds out the region, so there's always somewhere new to explore.

Book your stay and discover why Basalt is one of the Roaring Fork Valley's best-kept secrets, just minutes from Aspen, yet worlds away in charm and tranquility.
