Making it a work-from-Aspen month

- Full kitchen for everyday cooking

- Summer and fall bring hike-in/hike-out mountain access from the back door
Construction around Aspen in 2027
Beyond the airport, local real-estate updates (for example a broker's October 2026 post on X) point to redevelopment at the Lift 1A base on Aspen Mountain's west side in 2027. Durant 6D is on S Galena Street on the gondola (east) side, several blocks from that area. Check current project schedules before you travel.
Ground transfers
Shared shuttles and private car services run from EGE and DEN. Once you reach Aspen, Rubey Park is a 3-minute walk from the condo.

Your exact all-in direct rate, including cleaning and taxes, with no third-party platform fee. Private top-floor penthouse for two.
Ten steps from Aspen Mountain.
The Galena Penthouse is a 772 sq ft, one-bedroom, top-floor condo in Aspen's Durant Condominiums, with a private landing shared with no other residence and nobody above. Floor-to-ceiling windows look straight onto Aspen Mountain and the Aztec ski run. 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.
