Wonderful, friendly and attentive hosts. The Apt was well stocked with everything. Very clean and comfortable in a quiet, peaceful setting along the river.
The property was amazing. The hot tub was a perfect place to relax and unwind at the end of the day. Would have been nice to have a fan or something for white noise. The house was incredibly clean and well-stocked!!

Thank you for the very kind review. So glad you were able to enjoy our "slice of heaven". White noise...In the summer the air conditioning can provide that. But we will look into it further.
We love staying here. This is a clean, comfortable, convenient and very well equipped property with welcoming owners. The setting on the river is magical!

A fun, cute place with all the amenities you can ask for. Very convenient to all kinds of outdoor activities in Basalt and Aspen. Lovely to be right on the Roaring Fork River. Easy check-in, and if you are staying longer than we did, you will have a full-size washer and dryer.
What a fantastic relaxing wonderful spot! I was very impressed by the high level of detail and thoughtfulness of the hosts. Gorgeous relaxing special spot right on the river. We loved our stay thank you!

What a wonderful to say about our level of detail! The robes and plush lambs wool slippers are part of those little details!!
We liked the personal introduction we got from Alexandra. The location was terrific, tranquil, and relaxing. The sweet dogs were an added bonus! We highly recommend staying here and we can't wait to return our next time in Carbondale.

Hello Zach, it was a delight to have you stay with us and thank you leaving us such a wonderful review. Sassy misses you!
I love this place. It is very well done in all aspects. Clean & conveniently located to both Glenwood Springs & Carbondale. Very well appointed with cooking apparatus. I have no suggestions to improve it. Also, due to circumstances beyond my control, I need to modify my stay & was accommodated graciously. Would recommend to all.

The property is beautiful and is located right on the Roaring Fork River. You have access to the bike path to town, right next to the bike path, and is less than a 10 minute ride to the Red Hill trail system for mt biking. Alexandra and Stefan were amazing hosts.

You are so right to point out how incredibly well the property is located. Thank you for staying with us.
This location was great. Very peaceful. Right next to the river which was really nice to see and hear. It was perfect for my wife and I to stay at. We had a hot tub but we didn't have time to use it. Our host was very nice and made sure we had everything we needed. I would highly recommend. Close to Glenwood Springs and Aspen.

Beautiful, clean, new, convenient to town & recreational activities. All the kitchen amenities you could want. Owners are great people. I cannot say enough good things & have already rebooked another stay.
Gracious host with a well stocked, modernized home in a beautiful secluded setting. Dogs are friendly but not intrusive. Fish from shore, or walk or bike on the well maintained and paved trail.

I think Spanky and Sassy should be thanking you for your visit and all the ball throwing!!
Neat property right on a river bend. Walk into the town of Carbondale and walk up to great hiking red rock/ Mushroom Rock trail. Sights of Sopras Mountain out onside and Mushroom Rock the other way.

Talk about being fit!! B. was really impressive and proved it between a challenging bike ride to Glenwood Springs and back plus a hike up Mushroom Rock all in one day!!
Dwelling had numerous upgrade amenities that made it comfortable and convenient. We utilized the laundry facilities. Sadly, we never got to the hot tub.
Stefan and Alexandra were lovely and friendly hosts, their two dogs were absolutely adorable. I felt so safe on their property, and so incredibly comfortable; the bedroom was amazing, with a visual flickering fireplace, king size bed, very comfortable guest mattress if you have an additional person. The location was a rare property right on the river. You can hear the road but it's not a problem,. You can sit by the river near the pine trees, very beautiful!

Thank you so much for the review. I agree the king size bed is really comfortable. and as you say being at River level is rare. Happy that you were able to entertain your daughter's friends.
We absolutely loved this property. We felt like we were out in the wild of Colorado, while still being very close to Carbondale. The property is beautiful with the River on one side and ponds on the other side. I loved sitting by the river having my coffee in the morning. Our hosts, Alexandra and Stefan, were amazing and were there if we needed anything. The place was stocked with everything you would need. It felt so homey and was very clean. Definitely will be back!!!
The unit is beautifully decorated in different shades of blue. It is situated on the Roaring Fork River and is peaceful and private.Stefan and Alexandra are great hosts and respond immediately to any request.It is close to world class skiing in Aspen, gold medal trout fishing right out the door, and the Rio Grande Trail that runs from Glenwood Springs to Aspen is just up the hill.

Thank you so very much for our first review!! We hope to see you again soon. Our best first guests!!
Stefan and Alexandra Are amazing Hosts! We chose their place for many reasons, location, private residence, hot tub, not a generic hotel stay!Well it met all our expectations and exceeded them!! We loved staying at their property, it’s a beautiful property right on the River, the unit/house you stay in is separate from their house and private! You get your own hot tub outside to take in the stars at night! The accommodations were perfect, beautifully decorated, very clean, fully stocked kitchen laundry and bathroom! Everything you need to live like you at home!!! Thank You guys!!Anyone wanting to stay in this area will not be disappointed!!!!
