The Galena Penthouse

An access trail ten steps from the back door leads onto the mountain, and the Silver Queen Gondola and downtown Aspen are both an easy walk. It sleeps two, with a king bed, a wood-burning fireplace, a full kitchen, Sonos, and a seasonal outdoor pool and hot tub. Reserve direct with Dunn Estates, with no third-party platform fees.
