In a romantic Plum Guide home
Travelling to Aspen with your better half? When it comes to staying in Aspen for a cosy and romantic holiday, Plum Guide has access to some of the most perfect homes around. At Across the Divide in Snowmass Village, enjoy breathtaking views of the mountains over your morning coffee, as well as easy access to the slopes when you’re ready to start skiing for the day. A free shuttle stops directly outside the home and transports guests to the village, shops and all ski access points. There's plenty to do in Aspen if you visit in summertime, like enjoying a couples picnic by the river or a romantic horseback ride at sunset. There are also biking and hiking trails as well as tennis courts and golf courses nearby. For a chic and delicious date night, try The Edge Restaurant and Bar.

If the focus of your trip is mainly hitting the slopes, why not enjoy the ski in/ski out access from newly renovated Roaring Fork atop Aspen Mountain. There’s a heated outdoor pool for romantic evenings with your partner, and for once there won’t be kids around to threaten the mood. The free Downtowner Shuttle can whisk you off to dinner when you’re ready - that is unless you decide to stay in and snuggle up by the fireplace.

For more a rustic vibe - but still luxury of course (this is Plum Guide after all) - try Vacation Station. This top floor condo has the feel of a cute and cosy cabin with wooden panelling, a fireplace and faux-fur throws everywhere you look. There is a patio perfect for stargazing and an outdoor pool where your little ones will be more than happy to spend the majority of their time if you visit in the summer.

With a group of friends in a larger home
When choosing where to stay in Aspen for a dreamy holiday with your mates, there are plenty of big and comfortable houses ideal for a larger group. The Slope is located just outside Snowmass Village. You and your crew will enjoy making meals on the wood-burning stove or barbecuing outdoors on the fabulous terrace. If cooking in reminds you too much of your uni days, use the dial-a-ride service to take you straight into Snowmass Village for a posh dinner at Krabloonik (they also offer dog sledding tours) or Italian fare at Il Poggio. Assuming you came to ski - and if you didn’t there’s no shame in being here for the 'gram, even at your age - intermediate skiers can go straight from the house to Assay Hill.
