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.

## Highlights

- **Festival weekends:** FOOD & WINE, Aspen Ideas, the Music Festival and JAS are all a short walk downhill. At the end of the day there's a quiet top-floor retreat: espresso facing Ajax in the morning, a nightcap by the fire at night.
- **Long stays & working from Aspen:** High-speed Wi-Fi, a mountain-view dining table that works as a desk, a full kitchen, Sonos, bedroom A/C for summer and laundry in the building. It's set up for weeks, not just a weekend.

## A note from the owners
- **Top-floor privacy:** The penthouse is up three flights and there is no elevator. In return, no other residence shares your landing, nobody lives overhead, and the view runs uninterrupted across the Durant pool to Ajax. Luggage assistance is available on arrival; just let our local Aspen team know before you arrive.
- **The ski-home trail:** The trail ten steps from the back door is advanced terrain and depends on snow cover. On thin days, ride the gondola down and walk five minutes home.
- **Altitude & the walk home:** Aspen sits near 7,900 ft, and the stroll back from town is gently uphill. It's two blocks, and most guests come to enjoy it.
- **Honest pricing:** Every rate shown here is your all-in direct total, including professional cleaning, property protection and taxes, so the price you see is the price you pay. Hotel and platform comparisons are estimates.
