About this property
Newhard Chalet - Big House Convenient Location Great for Groups Families Friends
Great for multi-generational family gatherings or groups of friends.
The original Newhard Chalet, built by the Newhard family, was the first vacation home in Snowmass Village, built in 1967. The current Newhard Chalet is a more contemporary mountain house, built in 2000. The home is on three levels on 1/2 acre adjoining a greenbelt, with aspen and spruce trees framing the house. Lots of areas for spending time together as a group, but also spaces to get away and recharge.
Enter the Chalet into a great room with a comfy seating area around the fireplace with a wall-mounted television, a dining area with two oval tables with seating in captain's chairs for up to 20 people, and a large, very well-equipped kitchen, all with valley and mountain views. Guest half-bath on the main level. The master bedroom with its own deck and full ensuite bath is located off the living room. Entry from living/dining area to deck with gas barbecue and all-weather chairs and tables.
The upper level leads to a loft bedroom with 2 twins and a balcony loft with 2 twins, plus a bathroom with a shower. The lower level has 3 queen bedrooms, a family room, 2 full baths, and a washer/dryer. The family room opens onto a lower patio with a large hot tub.
Free high-speed WiFi.
Exterior video surveillance at the entry, driveway/garage, and greenbelt area.
TVs in the family room, living room, and master bedroom - the family room has a DVD player with a selection of videos.

This place is one of the best we have stayed in. We enjoyed the location to Snowmass mountain, about a mile from the village. The bus stops right off the main road in front of the house. The kitchen was perfectly stocked with everything we needed for making breakfast. We also enjoyed the hot tub after a day of skiing. We would definitely stay here again!
House was perfect and fit all our needs. Great location and had all amenities needed to accommodate our family. Kitchen was amazing and had everything to cook family meals and beds were great.
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!
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!
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.
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.
Home and host were incredible. We had a wonderful weekend skiing Aspen. Amazing location, clean, roomy, with all the amenities. Our family will 100% be back, and appreciate everything from Persie and Rick.
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.
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.
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.
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.
Thank you both for a great location.
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.
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!
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!
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
We stayed here for an annual girls trip. Everything went great! It was clean, close to fun places in Snowmass and Aspen, and the owner was great to communicate with! I would recommend for your stay!
House was clean and matched the photos. It was about a mile from Snowmass Village and the free bus picks you up at the bottom of the hill. Lots of chairs and common spaces to gather with friends and family. Persie was great to communicate with and the onsite property manager was really helpful. We were there at peak fall and loved the views.
We loved our stay at Newhard Chalet. The house had a great layout for our group of 10 (6 adults and 4 kids). You can tell the owners are very thoughtful with so many kitchen supplies and labeled instructions throughout the house. The location was great - easy access to both Aspen and Snowmass. We will definitely be back!
Amazing stay! Everything was clean and the house was much bigger in person. The host was very accessible and helpful with any guidance to getting around Aspen/Snowmass. 10/10 would stay again!
We had a GREAT time at this roomy house. We appreciated the 2 living areas and having 4 full bathrooms the powder room since there were 9 of us comfortably staying here. The bocci court and the hot tub were both great. We walked into Snowmass Village along the trail while the 7 year old and his dad biked. We were amazed at how many garbage pick-ups there were (4th of July, Sunday morning, daily). Many thanks for a wonderful stay!
