How to spend the day?

Marble and Slow Groovin BBQ is 30 min drive South on Hwy133
Glenwood springs is a 25 min drive away.
Aspen just a beautiful 45 min drive east.
For all who love a BEAUTIFUL scenic drive HWY 133 to Kebler Pass is a scenic bypass that can take you to stand in Awe of the biggest Aspen Grove in Colorado only 1.5 hr drive to Crested Butte.

*Guests ( 2 person max), have access to the main level, a loft with a second bed ( $40 additional charge), a bathroom via an outside door, serene, spacious grounds with plentiful, mature foliage and gorgeous flowers. You can sit next to a creek in the back, or eat at 3 of the lawn tables available with mountain views. Get a great taste of the mountains out your front door.

The neighborhood is quiet in nature and remote. You'll get the feeling your camping in luxury. There are tons of fantastic culinary experiences to be had in the various towns nearby (The Goat, Phat Thi, Allegria, The Village Smithy) and all manner of uncrowded mountain trails to explore (Avalanche Valley). Guests have intimated that they prefer staying at the doll house after soaking at the hots springs because they can unplug from being over stimulated and surrounded by people and noise.

Many guests have commented the great views and on how comfortable both beds are for sleeping and how well designed and cozy the small space feels. Because its a shift from a sprawling home there is an opportunity to let go and really relax and rest. Enjoy outdoor seating with mountain views, a garden with flowers, a beautiful lawn, mature trees and singing birds.

Just what we needed!!!
Looked for an affordable property (close to Aspen) just ahead of Colorado’s first snows. Rustic private cabin was just what we needed - cozy and clean. Host and Hostess were perfect. They were available but never intrusive. Let us come and go as we chose. Helped us with directions, eateries and wildlife reports.

Good place to stay
Nice cozy little cabin. Perfect for what we needed. We were in town for a wedding and didn’t want to stay in downtown Carbondale. The owners are very nice and accommodating. I would stay here again.

The Dollhouse
As advertised it is a small place but as long as you only plan to microwave food or not, it is perfectly adequate for a stay. It is very peaceful and the hosts are wonderful. The bed was great and I would stay there again.

Fun In Carbondale
We arrived after dark but after talking with our hosts and using our GPS we were able to find the place in the dark. Surprised by very helpful motion detection lights to find out way to our adorable accommodations! Hosts were great when we met them!

Why they chose this property

I liked this property because it is close to town but far enough away to feel like you are in the mountains.........which you are, so it is quiet and beautiful and offers all the reasons why I chose to live here....including a lot of rivers. There is the sound of the river which is very relaxing and peaceful.

What makes this property unique

The Doll House Experience is singular. It's like being in a cozy, snugly, cocoon with a warm, inviting embrace of a childhood fort with some comforts. Weather its the birds chirping, the beautiful blue sky, the sound of the wind, the quiet of the snow falling, the flowers blooming, the leaves changing, the murmur of the river, a rabbit munching grass, a deer or elk happening by, the humming birds darting around, there is always something going on here around this place that connects me to the beauty of nature.
