Bit of HEAVEN sleep 50 feet from Roaring Fork River

Relax and sleep by the river surrounded by nature, the river, and 3 ponds (water April - October). You can swim and canoe in the ponds (but the water is pretty cold April-October). Sleep only 50 feet from the river, listen to the river and the waterfalls, spacious beautifully equipped apartment with only the best. 15 minute walk to central downtown Carbondale. 4 minute bike ride to Carbondale and City Market. to view a tour of the apartment and amenities go to You.Tube and look for "Bit of heaven walkthrough 2021" 12min 11 secs video. Enjoy your meals sitting by the river and cooking on the gas barbecue. Rare 3.15 acre private property at river level. The greenery and foliage are beautiful April through mid November. Enjoy 55" TV garden and pond view while relaxing in oversized leather arm chairs next to the fireplace in the living room. Cooks have access to your own fresh herb garden barrel June-October. Easy access to ASPEN, Snowmass, Buttermilk, Highlands and Sunlight Ski Resorts just minutes away and an easy drive to Beaver Creek and Vail Resorts. Access Gold Medal Fishing, we have two beautiful resident 24" and 20" Browns who live along our frontage, just outside your bedroom. Numerous golf courses to choose from nearby. Sleep comfortably before a day of Skiing, hiking, biking, golfing, riding, fishing. or hunting River rafting available in Carbondale and Glenwood Springs. We have dozens of ducklings each year and they follow us around in the mornings. There's plenty of parking and we do accept RVs.

Soak in the Jacuzzi under the stars in the evening (fireworks not permitted). Sit around the Fire Pit and watch the logs glow in the dark, (fire wood provided). Cyclists can access the bike path that runs adjacent to the property. Hikers have closest access to Carbondale hiking trails on Redhill Mountain (Mushroom Rock, Blue Ribbon and 3 Gulches). Gaze at Mount Sopris from the higher ground on the property. This property provides all the modern creature comforts and conveniences. Bring your non-aggressive dog(s). Max. 2 x 70 lbs x. medium sized dogs. Dinning suggestions: We recommend the Village Smitty for breakfast, Homestead at the River Valley Golf Course for a dinner outside (pets allowed), El Korita for the best Mexican in Willits, Jaffa for the best Croissants next to City Market in El Jebel, The White House for family meals and Pizza in Carbondale, Tempranillo in Basalt to sit outside and enjoy Tapas, Hickory Smoke house for BarBQ in Aspen, Pine Creek Cookhouse for a something out of the ordinary (but a bit expensive). Need to really relax get an amazing facial at Tresses Salon in Glenwood, want a bit of a laugh at night try the Glenwood Vaudeville Review in Glenwood Springs, for a more private hot springs try the Iron Mountain Hot Springs. If you want to visit either Marroon Bells or Hanging Lake (no pets allowed) make sure you make reservations and we suggest going as early as possible as it can get very hot. Want to have fun snowmobiling try T-Lazy 7 up near Aspen. Alpine Angling in Carbondale will take you down the river float Fly Fishing. Feeling like some fun and adventure visit the Glenwood Caverns Adventure Park.

We enjoyed our stay. The accommodations were great. The house is centrally located for outdoor activities and sightseeing in the Carbondale area. The property management couple were very helpful and informative about the area, offering suggestions of what to see. All in all it was a great experience and would opt to return again.

We love the outdoors at this property. It’s green, shady, right on the river with the cooling effect and the lovely sound (along with the sound of a waterfall across the river and 2 fountains in the duck ponds on-site.), with great lounge chairs and dining table and chairs next to the Roaring Fork. The owners are lovely, welcoming hosts. There are over 2 acres of space for our dog to run around, complete with squirrels, and 2 resident dogs to hang out with. AND it abuts the paved bike/walking trail that runs from Glenwood Springs to Aspen. It’s less than a mile walk to Carbondale. This was our 3rd time to stay here, and we highly recommend it.

Perfect spot

My husband and I had the best week of some major R&R. They aren’t lying when they say it’s a bit of Heaven. Sleeping with the bedroom window open every night to hear the sound of the Roaring Fork River and reading next to the river was so relaxing. The entire property is gorgeous, the space itself is very clean and comfortable. The hosts were super accommodating and gave great advice on where to eat and visit in the area. We will definitely be back again!

About the host

Hosted by Alexandra/Stefan (Owner)

Host profile image
Brought up in the hotel and restaurant business and over 57 years of vacation rental experience we understand what our guests are looking for.

Why they chose this property

Because we care very much that our guests really have a wonderful time when they come to stay with us. The property is one of only 11 properties that is actually at river level. We think that our animals, the 83 ducks, frogs in spring time, daily visits "Big Boy" the heron, and our dogs Spankytoo and Sassy 2 blue heeler/collie mixes, they are currently young, disobedient and love EVERYBODY. (Sadly we lost Spanky in 2018, the best dog in the world and Evie on my 64th birthday this 2019. She was the light of my life and my eternal shadow). Our Darling and unique Wahsabi went to heavenly pastures on March 13th 2020. He will never be forgotten. All of this make this a fun and very special place to stay as well.

What makes this property unique

On the 40 mile stretch of the Roaring Fork, this home is right on the river's edge. This is one of the few properties where the bike path and irrigation ditch are NOT between the home and the river.
