This house is a lovely retreat from the craziness of life. The river rushing by and a the of view Mount Sopris will take all your troubles away! It also has a very well appointed kitchen for creating lots of
Delicious meals. We were so happy
To have our dogs with us too. Thank you Zanier family for sharing your home.
Our family had a wonderful time connecting in Carbondale! Our dog loved it most of all!! We cooked some excellent meals in the well-equipped kitchen, we each soaked in the massive tub, we played games at the beautiful dining room table. We were grateful for the garage and the mud room. Overall it is a large space with plenty of room for a group, but not so large that it overwhelms. The photos are accurate and we loved the location on the river. It feels remote but it is just four miles into town. The hosts are super friendly and helpful. Highly recommend.
