Owner's Profile
Owner Description
Year Purchased: 2007
I feel so lucky to live here and to be able to raise my children in such a special place as the beautiful rocky mountains.
Why the Owner Chose Carbondale
The Rocky Mountains are an amazing place, not just for winter and the world class snow skiing & snow boarding but the summer months are spectacular with hiking, fishing, golfing, etc. Not to mention the amazing springs flowers and the fall colors. Year round, this home always makes you feel like you are on vacation.
The Unique Benefits of this House
The home is very comfortable and relaxing. We've stayed at the home many times with our children and they feel like they are on vacation even though we are only 5 minutes from home. Feeding the koi fish and the sound of the waterfall are the biggest hits. Plus there is a horseshoe pit and a green house they like to use as a play house. I love the home because the kitchen looks out onto the backyard so I can watch the kids play. We also love the family room upstairs where we can cozy up and watch movies. My husband and I sit out on the morning deck and drink our tea as the sun rises over the mountains. We walk our Golden Retreiver along the paths and around the neighborhood. The flowers are spectacular and we can also see Mt. Sopris from the home.

From guestbook: We loved our stay at the Crabapple Cottage. It was conveniently located near Aspen/Snowmass and our cousins. Our vacation was filled with plenty of skiing and we even caught a glimpse of Snow Polo in Aspen. The slightly frozen pond created a scenic outlook for all our meals here, but we didn't get a chance to meet any fish or bears. We would love to return - thanks!

We had so-o-o much fun staying in this lovely home. We celebrated Mrgan's 7h birthday. Mark was home for mid-tour from Iraq. We celebrated being a family. We saw two bears, a mama & baby. The baby climbed up the apple tree and had a feast. We will come back! Thanks from our family.
