Snowmass Vacation Rental: The Cottage at Fairway


Your very own Snowmass luxury vacation rental, the newly remodeled and furnished Cottage at Fairway offers you the best of both Aspen and Snowmass. Minutes from the world class skiing at Two Creeks in Snowmass, the Cottage is just a generous, 10 minute drive on rural Owl Creek Road to Aspen’s tempting shops and restaurants. You have it all--relaxed, country living on a quiet, cul de sac, and everything you came to do at your fingertips.
Snowmass itself is getting a total upgrade. New this year is an 8-person gondola that takes you from the base village to Elk Camp and Café Suzanne in a speedy 8.5 minutes. Plans are on the drawing board to completely redesign the base village and lower market area. At the Cottage, you can literally cross country ski out your back door. In summer, enjoy golfing on the prestigious (and recently redone) Snowmass golf course, free concerts and fabulous hikes. Of course, there is Aspen’s treasure chest of offerings.
The contemporary, mountain décor of the Cottage, in fresh, soothing colors, will make you feel relaxed the moment you walk in the door. The high ceilings and big picture windows bring the outdoors in—views stretching past mature aspens and blue spruce in your garden, over the golf course clear out to Mt. Daly. The comfy furnishings, with throws over cushy couches, plumped bed pillows, and a gourmet kitchen—should you decide to cook at home--ease you into vacation mode.
The floor plan at the Cottage at Fairway is designed to create a sense of space or togetherness, depending on your needs. The open plan, living, kitchen, and dining area brings friends and family together. The large master is up a few stairs in a private nook. It has AC and the large bathroom has radiant floor heat, a walk-in shower and Jacuzzi tub. The two guest rooms on the lower level have full baths. An additional media room/library downstairs provides another “get-away.” There are flat screen TVs in every major room, including the kitchen, and an indoor and outdoor sound system. There is an attached two-car garage.
Whether you are tucked in front of the wood-burning fireplace watching the snowfall, or having breakfast on your deck in summer overlooking the golf course, you will truly feel you are at home, away from home.
