Redstone Castle

Aspen & the Maroon Bells


Several of Redstone's original buildings are still standing, including the original chalet-style workers' cottages and John Osgood's personal residence, the 42-room Redstone Castle. Located 1 mile south of town on a private road, it was thoroughly renovated in 2017 and is open for tours only (check online for schedules). There are plans to open the castle as accommodations in future.
