The Green Drake is a clean, friendly, small-town motel that sits in the center of quaint, downtown Basalt, Colorado. Nestled between Aspen and Carbondale, Basalt offers a central location for enjoying all the amenities of the Roaring Fork Valley. The Green Drake is a favorite with anglers looking to fish the banks of our two gold-medal trout streams, the Frying Pan and Roaring Fork rivers. Steps from the motel, guests can shop or enjoy some of the finest restaurants in the valley without ever getting into a car! Just fifteen minutes from Aspen, our rooms offer an affordable alternative for the savvy traveler. The prices are ideal for families, clubs, hunters, fishermen, weddings, work crews or anyone looking to save a little money!
