Chateau Eau Claire & Roaring Fork By Frias Properties

“Excellent property, great location, beautiful views!”

We just stayed in Unit 3 (2 BR, 2 Ba, corner unit) for 3 nights in March during spring ski season. We were very happy with the property and our unit, which was nicely appointed, very comfortable and had great views off the deck and overlooking the river. The location was great for us, as it's just 2.5 blocks from City Market and only about 4 blocks from the base of the gondola at Ajax. There is a city bus stop directly across the street which we used in the mornings with our skis. We also enjoyed the large heated pool and hot tubs, although one of the hot tubs (the larger one) was not very warm and the jets need a lot of work. The smaller hot tub was hot and in great shape, and the pool is huge and heated very nicely. Overall, we really enjoyed Chateau Roaring Forks and would come back again.

“Nice location, lots of construction”

This condo worked well for a group of 3 adults and 2 children. Located a few blocks from center of Aspen and just 2 blocks from grocery store.

This condo worked well for a group of 3 adults and 2 children. Located a few blocks from center of Aspen and just 2 blocks from grocery store. Very easy to get everywhere from here on a bike, a little harder on foot. Enjoyed the layout of the condo and the amenities (fully stocked kitchen, daily housekeeping, pool/hot-tub) BUT the "exterior construction" was INTENSE. We were literally living in a construction zone (hard hats needed). Construction started at 8am but workers started arriving and making noise at 7:30am daily. Difficult to sleep with windows opened which was needed b/c no AC. Couldn't use interior stair entrance to condo b/c ripped up carpet on stairs, missing hand rail, etc. Would walk under scaffolding and workers would have to pause their job for us to reach bike racks where bikes would be covered, each morning, in sawdust and we would be stepping over pink insulation. If home before 5 or 6PM, noise in our condo was overwhelming -- think jackhammering and electric saws, large cranes, etc. Not at all what we were expecting....once construction is finished on these condos, I would highly recommend them!!! Until then...beware.

“Pretty run down, but great location”

This is pretty old property that is in an excellent location. It was run down but the unit we stayed in was modestly updated, but still not really "nice". Being on the river is a probably great amenity in the summer, but in the winter you don't really notice it. the best part is that is an e… more

This is pretty old property that is in an excellent location. It was run down but the unit we stayed in was modestly updated, but still not really "nice". Being on the river is a probably great amenity in the summer, but in the winter you don't really notice it. the best part is that is an easy walk to Ajax and the Little Nell (and the rest of Aspen downtown).
