Chalet Lisl has a lot of character. The decor is charmingly dated and quaint, while everything is efficient and clean. Appliances are in good working order and you have everything you need. Beds are comfortable, and everything is well maintained. Most rooms have extra twin beds for multiple guests or the occasional visitor and there's easy access to laundry. I stayed as a participant in the music festival and had a relaxed and idyllic time. Practicing is permitted during certain hours, and you can walk to the music tent in 10 minutes. It is two blocks from the bus stop and just three blocks to the downtown mall area and main bus terminal. What I appreciated most about Chalet Lisl is the affordability, privacy, and convenient location. Carol and her son were also very welcoming and accommodating and take great care of the property. Chalet Lisl is a change of pace from Aspen's typical over-priced luxury kitsch. It's a down-to-earth, honest place where you will feel comfortable and right at home in the mountains for a couple days or a couple months.

A small, family-run lodge. Old, rustic-looking rooms, but clean and comfortable. Excellent, quiet location with views of Ajax and an easy walk to downtown and the ski bus stops. I will probably go back, if I can afford airline fares.

My worst experience there: By the outdoor ski storage area, there is a hazardous metal pipe that sticks up through the bricks, right in the middle of the walkway. I tripped on that awful thing twice!!
