Surrounded by nature's grandeur, this 2-bed, 1-bath, 2nd story rustic yet cozy log cabin rests harmoniously at the cusp of the awe-inspiring Maroon Bells wilderness. Nestled where the road ends & adventure begins at T-Lazy-7 Ranch, a family-owned & operated working ranch since 1938. Find yourself at the gateway to the Maroon Bells, the most photographed peaks in North America. This ranch offers a multitude of summer & winter guided adventures & the serenity of the perfect resting spot for 4.
Adventure + relaxation collide with our Nature's Edge Cabin. Nestled alongside Willow Creek, this cabin is part of the 200+ acre ranch that has been part of Aspen's history since the late 1800's. Your cabin sits on the edge of the Maroon Bells-Snowmass Wilderness and is the closest non-camping accommodations to the world-famous Maroon Bells. The space is on the second floor of a group of residences the ranch rents out - private, yet fully-immersed in the daily life of the ranch.
Giving a nod to the heritage of mountain living, exposed wooden beams on the interior and exterior create a warm, inviting atmosphere. Your front deck and seating area give you a view you won't grow tired of as the 14,018 ft Pyramid Peak looms in the distance, framed in each one of your large front windows. Listen to the sound of the rushing Willow Creek, the water drowning out any worry you brought on your vacation. Enter into your space and enjoy an open-concept kitchen, living, and dining area - all with stunning views of the main mountainous attraction beyond your doorstep. Your kitchen comes equipped with an electric range, full-size fridge/freezer, and microwave (no dishwasher). Your two queen-sized bedrooms offer you plush linens as well as a jack-and-jill bathroom shared between the two rooms. Enjoy views out of the main living room windows as you lay in bed: a true treat to wake up to.
You are a short walking distance from the T-Lazy-7 Ranch adventure center offering guided snowmobile tours in the winter as well as horseback riding and e-bike rentals during the summer months. Walk over to the farm store for locally-raised Wagyu beef, fresh eggs, high-altitude honey, and gift shop. Jump on a rented e-bike and cruise directly to Maroon Lake at the base of the Maroon Bells - you are only 6 miles to this iconic site. Whether you're here to explore the wilderness surrounding the cabin, or just to enjoy a plush cabin in a stunning setting, the River's Edge Cabin is a true Aspen gem and experience worth living.
