L'Auberge D Aspen

Other than threadbare carpet the cabin was very comfortable. We would hate to have to pay the nightly cost in the middle of ski season however!

The cabin we stayed in was very cute outside and in. A lot of attention was paid to the theme of the cabin. It was much larger than we expected and quite cozy. We were surprised that the tub had jets in it. It is in a great location and we would definitely stay there again. But... I don't know how old these cabins are, but the construction of ours definitely felt like it had been cobbled together over many years. In the bedroom, along the bottom of the wall on the outside edge of the building, plants were growing into the room from the outside. Just a couple, but still a surprise to see. The shower curtain was moldy to the point of being disconcerting. When we checked in, the room was very warm, which initially felt nice. But at bedtime, the bedroom was at least 85-90 degrees, and there were no instructions on how to adjust that. The thermostat was off. We found a floorboard heater that was the culprit, but the knob was missing. We had to adjust by trying to grab with our fingers and guess as to where the appropriate setting was. It took a few tries to get it right. Finally, the two electric stove burners did not work at all. I managed to get one to turn on by using something to hold the burner in a position where the electrical contacts touched, but I couldn't actually use it that way. It made it impossible to cook the food we had brought to cook. The bad things were definitely disappointing, but were mostly minor inconveniences. The place was cute, close to where we wanted to be and a great price. Maybe we just got the lemon of the cabins, but we will stay there again.
