This was our 4th time at Chateau Roaring Fork. We stayed in #6. It was roomy and clean. The kitchen was well kept and had all of the things we needed. The washer and dryer are a plus. Great beds. We walked into town, it is very close to everything but you still feel like you are in the mountians. You can walk to Aspen Mountian. The pool is clean and heated. Great hot tub. Easy to get to public transportation for the festivals.

I found this place on VRBO.com - from the description and pictures the owner provided the condo seemed nice and clean with a heated pool and hot tubs open year round. Added bonus was that no pets were allowed.

I specifically asked the owner where my 7-year-old daugher would be able to sleep, since there was only 1 bed in the condo. He said there was a nice air mattress we could pump up or make up a bed on the couch - he said extra bedding is provided.

When we arrived at the condo we were greeted with a large dumpster full of trash in the middle of the parking lot. We found the pool and hot tubs - to our disappointment they were covered up and a sign was posted that they were closed.

The condo itself upon first inspection was clean and tidy. A bit dated, with original cabinets dating from the 1970's (painted white). Lots of beams and that wood siding reminiscent of the 1970's - had been white washed. The furniture was cheap and stained in several places.

I found the extra bedding for my daughter. It consisted of 2 stained pillows, and 2 worn out blankets, one of the blankets was so worn out that it had a large hole in it. No sheets or pillow cases were provided.

By 10pm that night my allergies were so bad that we were conteplating a visit to the emergency room as I was having a full blown asthma attack. Since pets are not allowed in the unit - the only other culprit that can send me over the edge is MOLD. Given the age of the condo - circa 1970's and lack of upkeep on the building it wouldn't surprise me if there was mold throughout the walls.

My suggestion to the owner is to spend $50 at Target to purchase extra sheets, blankets and new pillows. Check into Mold Inspection/Mitigation - or have the carpets professionally cleaned - as previous renters might be sneaking their cats and dogs into the unit.

My wife and 2 small children (7 and 9 ) recently stayed 7 nights at this condo complex during winter Jan 2006. The condo was a 2BR 2 bath offering, extremely spacious, warm , well fitted out on the ground floor. Very quiet. Both bathrooms had full size baths with excellent showers. Kitchen was adequate with large fridge, oven, electric cook top, microwave and all utensils one could need. Lounge was large and open with open fire if needed, TV, CD, Video, radio plenty of seating, dining table with 4 chairs and 4 bar stools. Main Bed room was large with a queen bed and extra TV plus en suite. Second BR was spacious with 2 single beds. Overall rating very good. Condo is serviced every day with beds made and towels changed. . The location was 3 blocks from the Ruby park bus terminus about a 5 minute walk without ski boots. Location is also on the town free skiers shuttle running every 20 minutes until 2am so this was very convenient. After skiing the walk back from Ruby park was slow with the kids so we often took the shuttle. Well recommended and much better value than other expensive properties in town which can cost a lot more. Would definitely stay again. As a comparison we saw Aspen Square and their 2BR condos are about half the size and a lot more expensive but more central.

Wait until the last minute and get a lodging/lift ticket package through resortquest that can't be beat!!!
