This charming New England-style lodge has many of the ultra- chalet trappings but feels like a cozy home, with reassuringly soft sofas, a beer fridge in the cinema, family dining table in the kitchen and half-size basketball court in the cellar. But the biggest draw is the ski-in access, a rarity in Aspen. The chairlift is just steps away. Standout service The oversized outdoor hot tub, sheltered by silver birch trees, overlooks skiers whooshing back down to Aspen. Special amenities Media and games room, hot tub and cinema. Number of bedrooms Six (sleeps 20) Best bedroom The master suite, with a balcony overlooking Aspen valley, plus a fireplace, Jacuzzi and steam shower Contact Tracy Sutton, president of Aspen Signature Properties, tracy@aspensignatureproperties.com, +1 970 544 8001,
