By Sam Aronwald

Have you been dreaming about taking a luxurious vacation in the heart of the Rocky Mountains? Originally founded in 1879 as a silver mining town, Aspen’s reputation has peaked throughout the world. Now a hub for its unique culture and an endless number of activities, Aspen is a premier destination for those seeking an unforgettable vacation experience. And what better way to immerse yourself in all that Aspen has to offer this summer than by booking an Aspen luxury rental?

At Whitman Fine Properties, we specialize in providing discerning travelers with access to the finest rental properties in Aspen and the Roaring Fork Valley. Whether you’re planning an iconic winter ski trip with friends, a romantic mountain retreat for two, or an epic summer adventure for the whole family, we have the perfect luxury property to suit your needs.

In this step-by-step guide, we’ll walk you through everything you need to know about renting an Aspen luxury property this summer. From choosing the right neighborhood to understanding the rental process itself, WFP has you covered. Here’s how to make the most of your ultimate Aspen getaway.

Choosing the Right Neighborhood

There’s plenty of popular neighborhoods in Aspen and each area offers something different. The first aspect to consider is proximity to attractions. Want to wake up only one block’s walk to the gondola, shopping, and restaurants? Or perhaps an out-of-the-way alpine home with beautiful balcony views and peaceful birdsong is more tailored to you. Choosing a specific location can radically enhance your Aspen luxury rental experience.

Next is the on-property amenities. Whitman Fine Properties has every luxury rental size you’ll need; however, each can vary in what they offer. Are you driving into Aspen or flying? For the cool alpine evenings, do you prefer the ease of a gas fireplace or the authenticity of true wood-burning? How important is an on-property hot tub for your party? Start imagining your Aspen dream home and we’ll help reveal it to you.

Lastly, the atmosphere. What kind of vibe do you want to immerse yourself in? The chic and square Aspen contemporary drastically differs from the charming western mountain lodge. The energy that we surround ourselves with fuels our soul, especially when we’re traveling. There are all kinds of characters here in Aspen. Who do you want to be?
