About this property

The Crystal River Casita is located just outside of the old mining town, turned artist community of Carbondale. Only 5 miles from downtown located in a private neighborhood, on dirt road, situated along the Crystal River. With pristine pools full of native trout, miles of hiking trails and the paved bike trail that access the entire valley just out your back door. Access to the Crystal River is just a 2min walk down the path. Just 5 miles south to the now famous and free hot springs "the penny pods". Or, an even better option of the Avalanche Hot Springs that requires a reservation. A short drive South is the historic town of Redstone (10 min) and then Marble (25 min). Of course the little known town of Aspen, where it's warm all year long is only 45 min drive away weather permitting. Carbondale is know as the base camp for adventure because of the central location to all things Colorado. Summit a 14er, raft class 5 whitewater, fish gold metal waters, ski world class mountains, ride endless single track, parasail or just completely relax on the brand new trex deck and do absolutely nothing but enjoy the fresh mountain air. You will stay at the fully renovated 2 bedroom, 1 bath house with a yard and brand new deck as mentioned above. We do have 2 furbabies(dogs) on this property and welcome small friendly fur babies as well. Please contact us for additional details about the house or the Roaring Fork and Crystal valleys.

*Please note *
We have a healthy wildlife population with bear, mountain lion, elk, deer and critters. If you are scared of animals you may want to stay in a fancy hotel.

Casita

We loved this little gem, close to the river. It was secluded enough to have privacy, but close enough to town if you need it.

Love this place

We just love this place it has everything you need. It has super comfortable beds, amazing location, and a beautiful setting, nice a quiet off the beaten path. Last time we stayed here in the winter and it was just so beautiful with all the snow. So coming here during the spring is naturally just absolutely gorgeous. We really enjoyed the hammock surrounded by the tulips and eating breakfast outside at the table on the patio every morning was everything we needed. Thank you!!

About the host

Hosted by Elias & Misty Miller

We are two young professionals who are lucky enough to live and work in paradise. We live on the property below and are available for suggestions or advise on everything in and around the Roaring Fork Valley.

Why they chose this property

I was born in Aspen and have always dreamed of owning my own home in the valley. After many years of looking for river frontage acreage, my wife and I purchesed the house in 2014 and have spent the last few years renovating the houses and property.

What makes this property unique

We have miles of trails right out your front door with a chance to see wildlife (elk, deer, bear, moose and many others) out your windows. We are located along the crystal river which is rich with native trout. We have a large and small fat bikes for use along with snowshoes, fishing poles and many other useful Colorado tools.
