Mountain Chalet

To Book

I did a special article for newspapers and online magazine about this unique lodging experience.  Some quotes from my article:

“One look at the winter or summer view of this landmark resort at will make you want to head out to one of my most favorite cities in all of America – Aspen, Colorado.   Built in 1954 against the backdrop of  Aspen Mountain, the scene is one straight   from some exotic ski movie. 

The owners, Ralph and Marian Melville have been catering to the Aspen travelers for more than  half a century.  The travelers keep coming back, and many of them asking for the same rooms they enjoyed “last time there.”  In the winter there is complimentary breakfast and complimentary continental breakfast in the summer.    Sitting on the balcony drinking coffee with the morning mountain air assisting with your “coming alive,” will become an addictive experience if  one is not careful.  Ralph graduated from Dartmouth University with a degree in physics, which proved to be a great help in building and adding onto  the Mountain Chalet.

For the guest there is a full size swimming pool, laundry facilities, Jacuzzi, sauna, steam room, 32 space underground parking garage, and fitness facility.  Less than a five minutes walk and you are into the heart of Aspen shopping and people watching.  I can highly recommend these accommodations for the traveler wanting restful accommodations, convenient  location, and reasonable prices. 

If you are fortunate enough to get to visit with owners Ralph and Marian Melville your stay will be complete!  Oh, that the world had more of this type of people. See the listing in the prestigious "Editor's Choice" section of the magazine.” Aspen in every season is beautiful and uniquely peaceful. In all the world that I have traveled, Aspen is one of my most favorite places.

A moderately price, wonderful place to dine:  Boogies, right in the middle of town!

Happy Traveling.
