Historic Carbondale Home Steps to Main St. | Sunflower
Welcome to the Sunflower House — a lovingly restored Carbondale original turned southwest-inspired haven in the heart of downtown. With 2 bedrooms, 1 bathroom, and space for up to 5 guests, this professionally designed home blends vintage warmth with modern ease. Enjoy memory foam beds, a sun-drenched sitting room, kid-friendly spaces, and lush gardens. Just steps from Main Street's cafés, shops, and trails — this gem is a walkable retreat rich in charm and comfort.
Tucked just off Main Street, the Sunflower House is a piece of Carbondale's story — one of the town's original homes, now thoughtfully reimagined into a southwest-style retreat with a designer's touch. From the moment you step into the sunny entryway, this space feels personal and storied, filled with light, texture, and charm.
Inside, vintage details meet cozy modern comforts. A bay-windowed sitting room invites slow mornings with a cup of coffee or evenings gathered with friends. This space also transforms into a private sleeping nook with a queen pullout sofa and privacy curtains. The adjacent dining room offers room for all to gather, with French doors that open to a side patio wrapped in lush summer greenery.
The home features two bedrooms: a guest room with a queen lodgepole bed near the front, and a tranquil primary suite tucked at the back — complete with pitched ceilings, wood floors, A\C (primary bedroom only) and a king-sized memory foam bed beneath three picture windows. Off the primary bedroom sits another patio adorned with string cafe lights, an outdoor dining set, and plenty of room to enjoy a Colorado sunset. The newly renovated bathroom includes a double vanity, tub/shower combo, and brand-new washer/dryer for added convenience.
Families will appreciate the dedicated playroom stocked with toys, while cooks will enjoy the updated kitchen with open wood shelving, ample storage, and all the essentials. Whether you're dining al fresco, curled up on the leather couch for a movie night, or savoring the garden views from the porch, this home offers a peaceful rhythm in the heart of downtown.

The house was spacious and clean. We loved the location and being able to step out the front door to restaurants and walking trails. Communication with the host was quick and easy.
The house was clean, spacious and well maintained and the location was perfect. It’s a half a block off Main Street and close to restaurants, bars, shops, etc.

Thank you for staying with Aspen Leisure Co. We enjoyed hosting you and hope to welcome you back on your next visit.
Best regards,

Great house and location. Easy walking distance to all the local restaurants. Very pet friendly, as front yard was fenced. Only quirk was that there were very tiny, innocuous beetles inside because of some annual migration going on. Would not prevent me from coming back.

Howdy! Thank you for taking the time to review us! We are so glad you enjoyed your stay and the easy access to some great restaurants and shops that Carbondale offers. I'm sorry about the elm beetles, we do our very best to mitigate but these tiny nuisances will always find their way in during the summer season. Thankfully they are harmless! We hope you will visit us again soon.
Great location - downtown Carbondale. Cozy 2 bedroom apartment like home. Spacious enough and clean. Amenities were “bare minimum” and beds are quite firm/hard, but we had a nice stay.

Wonderful stay downtown Carbondale.
Perfect home and location for a week in Carbondale. Clean, comfortable with well stocked kitchen. Around the corner from downtown. Easy walk to restaurants, coffeeshop, art galleries, and more. Would definitely stay here again. Management is easy to work with. Thank you!
The house was beautiful and comfortable for my family, with three kids age 7-13. Everything was perfect. We had plenty of room and everything we needed. The beds were comfortable. The large dining table was great for puzzles and board games. We loved that we had a dedicated parking spot and could walk to everything that Carbondale has to offer. I would note though that the primary bedroom did not have blackout shades. The sun comes in pretty bright in that clerestory window. I usually travel with an eye mask for this reason.

Thank you so much for your kind words, Jessica! We’re so glad the home was a great fit for your family and that you enjoyed everything from the cozy beds to board games around the dining table. Carbondale really is something special, and we're happy you got to soak it in. Thanks also for pointing out the lighting in the primary bedroom — such a helpful note, and a great tip about bringing an eye mask. We’ll look into some options for future guests. We’d love to welcome you back anytime!

Great Spot
This is great house located one block from Main Street in Carbondale.
The home is nicely appointed, all furniture is in great shape. Kitchen was very useable and well stocked with everything needed to set a pretty dining room table. All appliances appear to be brand new.
Bed was comfortable, linens and towels are plush. Great water pressure and plenty of hot water. The house was immaculate when I arrived with fresh flowers on dining room table. The home has lovely fragrant flower and herb garden at the entry and off of the dining room.
Management was extraordinarily accommodating and access to the home was a breeze.
Thank you for a nice Carbondale visit.
