Exposed brick fireplace, leather wingbacks, and plenty of polished wood – this home has all the ski-lodge charm you could ever want. At the foot of the Aspen mountains, it’s the perfect base for a week in the snow for a family or couple of friends. With two cosy bedrooms and two bathrooms, there won't be any squabbling over who gets the master. The home is close to the action – just a few minutes' walk will bring you to the ski lifts and downtown's bars and restaurants are just a block or so away. In the summer, it’s a hiking and fishing hotspot, while there's also a pretty central courtyard so you can make the most of the beautiful weather and meet fellow guests over a beer or two. Home truths: * This home is on the second floor (US third floor) of the building, and there’s no elevator * On-street parking is available but limited, however, there are lots of free shuttles in the area so you might not need a car if you’re planning to stay local
