Accommodations

Space is limited for all housing options. Housing is available on a first-come, first-served basis. The earlier you make your housing request, the better your chance of receiving your preferred choice. To ensure your housing reservation, you must pay in full 60 days prior to the start date of your stay.

For most workshops, housing check-in begins at noon on the Sunday before your workshop. Checkout is by 10:00 am the Saturday following your workshop. Smoking and pets are not permitted in any Anderson Ranch housing.

Anderson Ranch provides economical housing. If you prefer luxury accommodations, contact Stay-Aspen-Snowmass at 888-649-5982 or online at stayaspensnowmass.com.

Special Requests

Our goal is to meet your needs. Please let us know if you have physical limitations – walking, stairs, vision, etc. We cannot, however, guarantee bed size, special amenities or specific housing assignments.

Wyly House Dormitory

The dorm is a two-story, co-ed building located on the Anderson Ranch campus next to the Café. There are 18 bedrooms and a common area. Dormitory housing includes meals in the Anderson Ranch Café; no food is allowed in the dormitory. There are coin-operated washers and dryers. Phones are not available in the rooms, but there are two pay phones in the lobby.

The rooms are clean and modest. We offer Option A for a shared room/shared bath, Option B1 for a private room/private bath, or Option B2 for a private room/shared bath. There are a very limited number of private room options available in the dorm. The shared rooms, Option A, have two single beds and a vanity sink; every two rooms are connected by one co-ed bath. No students under 18 will be housed in the dormitory.

Dorm (Room and Board Options)

Please Note: The State of Colorado and Pitkin County require us to charge 10.4% sales tax on lodging. In addition, the Town of Snowmass Village assesses a 2.4% lodging tax on all lodging arranged through the Ranch. Therefore, a total accommodation tax of 12.8% will be added to your housing invoice.

Getting to Anderson Ranch

The most convenient way to get to Anderson Ranch is to fly into the Pitkin County Airport in Aspen (ASE). Van service from Denver International Airport is available through Colorado Mountain Express (800-523-6363 or 970-926-9800 or on-line at www.cmex.com). Travel discounts on United Airlines are available only through Frosch Travel of Aspen; please contact Wendy at 866-594-2305 or 970-925-1645 (Monday through Friday, 9:00 am to 12:30 pm and 1:30 pm to 5:00 pm Mountain time) or by email at wendy.weaver@frosch.com. Several airlines also have summer service into Eagle County Airport (EGE), which is about 1-1/2 hours from Anderson Ranch, but you would need to rent a car since ground transportation to the Snowmass Village area is not available in the summer.

Meals

Freshly prepared meals are served in our on-campus Café. Both a vegetarian and a meat-based option are available at each meal. We cannot accommodate specific food preferences, or dietary requirements, or handle medical reactions/allergies. We encourage those with special dietary needs to request a condominium, which has facilities where you may prepare your own meals.

Transportation and Parking

Parking is limited. For most workshops, you do not need a car. Buses and shuttles run to Snowmass Village and Aspen, and many are free. There are also taxis and airport limos. Most condos have only one assigned parking space per unit; therefore, a parking space at the condo complex is not guaranteed for each student sharing the condo.

Camping

Town of Snowmass Village ordinances prohibit camping in tents, RVs or vehicles on the Anderson Ranch campus or in Snowmass Village. Camping is fairly limited within a 15-20 mile radius of Snowmass Village. For information about camping options, contact the Aspen Ranger District of the US Forest Service at 970-925-3445, or the Aspen-Basalt Campground at 970-927-3405, where they recommend that you book your campsite at least two months in advance.
