Stefan and Alexandra were very friendly hosts. The Bit of HEAVEN space was quite comfortable with all the amenities of home. Surrounded by the Roaring Fork river was an added bonus with access to walking trails and fishing holes. I would definitely recommend their place to anyone looking for a peaceful getaway to Carbondale, CO.
