Wonderful house close to Snowmass
We had a great stay at the Newhard house. The location is perfect with easy access to the bus line (no need to rent a car). The host was very responsive and helpful with check-in. The house is clean and spacious. We will definitely stay here again next time we visit Aspen!

What a wonderful place to stay when coming to Snowmass (Aspen)
We had a great stay at the Newhard Chalet. It was comfortable, very clean, and with everything that we needed - comfortable beds, lots of shared space for reading, talking together, playing games, a very well equipped kitchen, a washing machine and dryer, strong wifi and a hot tub. The host was very responsive to our questions.The shuttle to Snowmass Village is just below the chalet and runs very frequently.Plus: the mountain views from the living room are beautiful.

Perfect
12 of us stayed at the Newhard Chalet this week and we all loved it. We are all skiers and love skiing Snowmass(although the conditions were marred by warm windy weather). We all had room to spread out. The kitchen was the most appointed rental kitchen we have rented. The mattresses were so comfortable. There was plenty of parking for us coming from different areas of the state and Wyoming. The bus system was so convenient to get to the mountain. The house manager lives above the garage and was “on it” with any needs we had( minimal) . The hot tub had not been serviced before we arrived but Rick made sure it was super clean and ready to use by the next morning. We love this house and plan on booking it again

Amazing house and great location!
Our group loved this house! We stayed with a group of 12 and everyone had a comfortable place to sleep. It is right on the bus line too, with very easy access to all ski mountains and downtown Aspen. The photos also do not do this place justice, it’s beautiful and super cozy! Very clean and well stocked kitchen too. Highly recommend.

Great location near Snowmass and bus access to Aspen
We had a fantastic stay at the Newhard Chalet over a long weekend. The property was as advertised and incredibley well stocked with anything that you might need in the kitchen area. Throughout the house things are well labeled with very clear instructions. The home was very clean and we enjoyed the private hot tub after a long day of skiing. Only a 8 min bus ride up to Snowmass and a 25 min bus ride down to Aspen. The bus stop is only a 1 min walk down the hill from the house so quite an amazing location. We'll certainly stay there again if we return to Snowmass / Aspen. We enjoyed the ski and Aspen themed artwork throughout the house. Thank you and can't wait to return!

Amazing Stay!
We stayed at this property for 5 nights to attend my nephews wedding held at Maroon Bells. The property was great with all the bedrooms and bathrooms we needed to house the family who traveled from Ohio and SC to attend. It was close to the town and activities, stores and restaurants. I highly recommend this property!

Family Wedding
There were 9 adults and one dog staying here for a family wedding in Aspen. Most other events were in Snowmass so this was a convenient location. There were ample bedrooms and baths for our group. We didn’t cook much but this is the best stocked rental I’ve ever stayed in. It was perfect for our situation.

Perfect house for our family reunion ski vacation
We had two families of 6 adults and this house was so comfortable for all of us. Plenty of space to spread out. Lots of dining space. Large kitchen which was the best stocked kitchen we’ve ever seen in a rental - pots, pans, spices, multiple coffee pots (which was very nice for our group) and even a slower cooker! I can’t say enough good things about this house. The bus pick up is right out back door. The owners were very easy to communicate with and always very helpful and accommodating! We loved this house and we will be back!

Great place in Aspen / Snowmass
We really enjoyed our stay at the Newhard chalet and would definitely return on our next visit to Aspen. The place is huge and the kitchen was well stocked. It was much more room than we needed than we needed for five adults! Communication was good we were able to have our groceries delivered before arrival.

Great home at Snowmass
The Newhard Chalet was perfect for our family Christmas vacation to Snowmass. The home was very comfortable and spacious for our two families. The kitchen was well supplied. Beds were comfortable and every room had a small humidifier. The hot tub was very relaxing after our ski days. We utilized the shuttles every day to either Snowmass mall ~5min, Aspen, Aspen Highlands and Buttermilk. The bus stop was very close easily walkable with skis and ski boots. We had a great stay and would stay here again.

Amazing stay at this roomy chalet that is full of history and character. Seldom does a place actually look better than its pictures, but this place looks even better in person. The most well appointed VRBO I've ever stayed at, this place has EVERYTHING. I cannot say enough good things about this chalet, we had a great time and really appreciate it. Thank you, we hope to make the Newhard Chalet an annual stay.

Our family was there for a memorial service. It was a request that we all visit the Maroon Bells. So we did and it was beautiful!!!! We loved the home, the location and the area. We evem saw a moose. As a ski instructor i loved the ski memorabilia especially the Stein Erickson ," Ski with Me " book. Percie and Rick were helpful and made the stay smooth and memorable.

Great stocked kitchen
We enjoyed our stay at this location. It had a whole drawer full of spices and a cabinet full of liquids like vinegar and vanilla extract etc. The fridge had lots of staples like salad dressings and ketchup. Not the owners fault but the location turned out to be a 5-10 min drive to town center depending on traffic due to the road work going on into town. Some suggestions for the owners- a mattress topper for the king master bed which was uncomfortably firm and a lighter summer weight blanket that fits a king bed- and feather pillows not fat foam ones. ( and better pillows through out) Less beds- there were 4 people that stayed in our group. 2 working full time remotely and the other 2 who had to do remote zoom meetings. An office set up would have been nice for private conversations not in a bedroom setting. Or even a bedroom with a desk. We set up offices on one of the kitchen tables and the table in the lower level family room- but it was hard to keep quiet when the person had to speak on their zoom call when in a public part of the house. Lastly- we mostly chose this house because they allowed pets. It would have been nice if any part of the yard was mowed to avoid the 3’ tall prickers that were mixed in with the grass. Owner was supper nice to deal with and very helpful.

This property is amazing with excellent room configurations. This property made it great for 4 couples to stay comfortable and enjoyable in the lovely mountains. The check-in process was great, and the property manager called us ahead of time to give us very specific driving instructions as there was road work in the area which was GREATLY appreciated for the heads up.

Easy access right off cul-de-sac street with ample parking provided. Found everything as stated in good condition. Garage is heated making waxing your skis a breeze. Sledding equipment is on site that the kids put to good use. Bus stop close by that can take you to all 4 resorts. Everyone had a relaxing time. Kitchen made it easy to prepare all the meals. Steps and passage to Hot Tub all had heated pads that made getting around very safe with no fear of falling on ice.

Wonderful family ski cabin
This place is just magical. The Newhouse’s have had this land for so long and we loved the photos and artifacts of their family history throughout the house. The house met every need of ours and slept our group comfortably. The hot tub was wonderful. The location is unbeatable as the bus stop 50 yards away provides short trips to all of the mountains. The kitchen was extremely well stocked and everything was clean and in order. Rick was also around to help with anything that came up. 10/10 it was a privilege to stay here and ski Aspen for the week!

Wonderful stay, excellent location
We were two families who shared the house, and we could have easily fit a third family. Tons of space, great location right on the bus route to Snowmass and Aspen, well stocked kitchen, easy storage for our ski gear in the garage, four bathrooms and never ran out of hot water, and fast responses from the home owner with any questions. Would definitely rent this house again. Only thing to note, remember to bring your own shampoo, conditioner, body wash and lotion - those weren’t provided in all the bathrooms.

About the host

Hosted by Persie Newhard Nakonechny & Bix (Horace) Newhard

Host profile image
My daughter Persie helps with rental communications. That's us in the photo - skiing together.

I built the original house with my brother and friends in 1967. We were the first to receive a certificate of occupancy in the newly opened Snowmass Ski Resort. I continue to visit Snowmass frequently with family and friends.
The area is quite beautiful year round with world class sports, art and music activities ongoing. Events are suitable for a mix of ages and abilities.

Why they chose this property

I began skiing in Aspen with my brother in 1961, and had the opportunity to get in on the ground floor of Snowmass Ski Resort. My sister's children own a place nearby (the Snoke Chalet) and we created family vacations throughout the year to enjoy the area and each other's company.
Skiing conditions are unbelievably good, with splendid snow conditions and attention to grooming the hills throughout the ski season.
In addition to ski season, Snowmass Village is a lovely get-away for family and friends at all times of the year. Summer season is the time for the Aspen Music Festival, Balloon Festival, Aspen Food & Wine, and many other events in the area, as well as enjoying the Lost Forest adventure area on Snowmass Mountain.

What makes this property unique

Very well stocked kitchen for cooking for large groups. Ideal climate, great skiing, year round leisure. Excellent snow conditions are typical during the ski season. Off season offers many options for leisure, such as hiking, golfing, fishing, biking, fine dining, horseback riding, river rafting in summer, the beauty of seasonal changes, and a great place for multi-generational family reunions.
