The Lodge At River's Edge was our first Bed & Breakfast experience and we will never be able to stay in a hotel again. We stayed in the Orchard Room that features a king size log bed with a featherbed and the most wonderful sheets and down comforter you can imagine. Breakfast began with a fresh fruit cup, then a scrumptious omelet and a fresh baked cinnamon roll. Talk about a great start to a beautiful day on the Frying Pan River. From here you can fly fish for trout on the Frying Pan or the Roaring Fork River or if shopping is for you - take a short one block stroll to downtown Basalt which has wonderful galleries, antiques and little shops to keep your credit card warm. This is a beautiful and very comfortable place to stay.

This recently renovated B+B is under new ownership and although we never stayed there before, it is obvious that the new owners are off to an awesome start! It is rustic yet elegant, just what I would want in a mountain home. Not a whole lot to look at with the outside of the 4 bedroom building but the surrounding deck and hot tub overlooking the rushing frying pan river makes it just right with comfortable lounge chairs and hammocks. The inside however is perfect with a huge fireplace, perfect new furnishings (orchard room I stayed in had gorgeous log bed). Probably would choose river room (because of deck) or orchard room-(every comfort attended to) but all would be fine. The log cabin looked cute too if you needed privacy but the main home with it's absolutely delicious breakfasts and helpful caretaker made me want to stay right there and not even go to Aspen! Basalt's nice restaurants and shops are within a 5 minute pleasant walk. can't wait to go back! P.S. Known as "Lodge at River's Edge" now.
