About Bill or Deborah Johnson

Bill & Deb, former corporate exec's, we spend our leisure time hiking, RV'ing, boating on Lake Powell, playing with our Golden Retriever, and pursuing a variety of business interests.

Why Bill or Deborah Johnson chose Aspen

Many people find Aspen for the skiing, but they stay for the summers, activities, events amd people! We did too. We chose Red Mountain Ranch high on Red Mountain because it has it all: panoramic views, privacy, hiking, biking, snowshoeing, and ski touring at our doorstep, and yet we're just a few minutes to town for dining, cultural activities, entertainment, or the ski slopes.

What makes this house unique

Even for Red Mountain Ranch, our home and property are unique. Near the top of Red Mountain Ranch, the unusually long 360 feet of view frontage allows the house design to maximize the number of rooms and window space facing wrap around views. Rooms are bright and open, many with windows on 3 sides. Unlike many Red Mountain homes perched over a steep slope, our property stretches along a long natural bench, giving us garden and terrace space in front of our home. Coupled with the long frontage, it allows a fenced-in yard at one end of the house and a pretty grove of flowers, tall grass,and trees at the other.

The huge Great Room,4 separate outdoor seating areas, plus separate media,den,and breakfast areas, allow a large family or group to enjoy their different activities when they want it, yet come together to socialize with plenty of room for all. The large, comfortably furnished bedrooms facilitate separate quiet time when desired.

In the winter, hit the slopes a few minutes away in town. Summer or winter, explore the trails and dirt roads radiating into the mountains from the Hunter Creek Valley just behind Red Mountain Ranch. Enjoy the lovely valley itself along the river,perhaps pausing to step into the last intact structure of an old mining camp, or go up the many routes along both sides of the valley. Then a 5 minute drive to town for for a difficult choice between a myriad of restaurants, shopping, cultural, or entertainment. Or pass a relaxing afternoon on the terrace savoring the incredible views. Once home, a steam shower looking at the Maroon Bells. In the evening, enjoy your family or have friends over for drinks or dinner and enjoy the spectacular sunset over the mountains. Or just relax in the media room with a movie on the 73” HDTV. Or even better, do it all - there's plenty of room and space for everyone to do their own thing. With us you have it all.

Loved it as much the second time around

5 of 5
Submitted: May 6, 2013 Stayed: June 2012
From the moment we got in and I absorbed the fantastic view from the terrace, I found myself immediately relaxing. Everyone took their time getting settled into different parts of the house, playing games, catching up, or resting. For us, the opportunity for everyone to be able to do their own thing was of paramount importance. The girls were interested in shopping and walking around town while Dad and Grandpa really wanted to hike, and a couple of others preferred to hang out at the house. The great thing about this home is that it's far enough removed from everything that we felt like we were "getting away from it all" but it's close enough to everything that it never took a tremendous coordination of efforts to do something fun. All in all, I think that this was the perfect setting for a group of people who have a large variety of interests. As a result, we all thoroughly enjoyed our vacation.
Owner's Response: Leila,
Thanks for your kind comments. We look forward to seeing you again.
Best, Bill

Drop of heaven

5 of 5
Submitted: May 3, 2013 Stayed: February 2013
To begin, one of the most serene views I have come across. From the top of Red Mountain you overlook all of Aspen as if it were a map. You can spy skiing, hiking, and shopping all at a glance. The home is warm, figuratively as well as literally, and holds a real sense of luxury and elegance. A very nice kitchen snuggled into the back of the great room sharing that same fabulous view. I'm all for sampling the local fare, but with amenities like these, I didn't mind staying in and watching the sunset with a glass of wine either. We were truly blessed to find this gem and will be returning again. Did I mention the view???

Owner's Response: Hi Josh,
So glad you enjoyed your stay. I know, it's too bad we don't have any views to give you the mountain experience- just kidding.

Great Spring Season Ski Trip

5 of 5
Submitted: April 11, 2013 Stayed: March 2013
My friends and I enjoyed this incredible home for a ski trip in late March. The panoramic views from the living room were spectacular and provided a great space for entertaining. The two master bedrooms at each side of the house was also a great feature providing plenty of space for everone. The owners, the Johnson's, were a pleasure to deal with and we will return.

Love, love, love this house, it's the perfect Aspen getaway: you have your privacy, plenty of open space, plenty of nature, and Aspen is only 5min away! The view overlooking the valley through the huge windows is breathtaking, you have to see it to believe it! The dining table was perfect for our business planning meetings, and the house suited perfectly our hosting a few small events and inviting people over, it also gives a great first impression ("wow" factor). My favourite room of the house is without doubt the cozy media room: stone-wall fireplace, huge TV screen, you literally sink into the carpet.

Thank you Bill for a wonderful stay! Can't wait to come back next year.

Beautiful house

Submitted: April 9, 2013 Stayed: March 2013
The first words out my mouth was, "Wow!" The view is truly awe-inspiring. Spacious living-room that gives you a panoramic view of the Aspen mountains. The bedrooms are all comfortable, nicely furnished and makes you feel right at home. The areas surrounding are perfect for hiking. It's fairly close to town / ski-lift.
Bill was very accommodating, and it's a great place to have friends over for a BBQ or evening party. Definitely recommend this as great place to stay for your vacation.
