About this property
Bit of HEAVEN sleep 50 feet from Roaring Fork River
Relax and sleep by the river surrounded by nature, the river, and 3 ponds (water April - October). You can swim and canoe in the ponds (but the water is pretty cold April-October). Sleep only 50 feet from the river, listen to the river and the waterfalls, spacious beautifully equipped apartment with only the best. 15 minute walk to central downtown Carbondale. 4 minute bike ride to Carbondale and City Market. to view a tour of the apartment and amenities go to You.Tube and look for "Bit of heaven walkthrough 2021" 12min 11 secs video. Enjoy your meals sitting by the river and cooking on the gas barbecue. Rare 3.15 acre private property at river level. The greenery and foliage are beautiful April through mid November. Enjoy 55" TV garden and pond view while relaxing in oversized leather arm chairs next to the fireplace in the living room. Cooks have access to your own fresh herb garden barrel June-October. Easy access to ASPEN, Snowmass, Buttermilk, Highlands and Sunlight Ski Resorts just minutes away and an easy drive to Beaver Creek and Vail Resorts. Access Gold Medal Fishing, we have two beautiful resident 24" and 20" Browns who live along our frontage, just outside your bedroom. Numerous golf courses to choose from nearby. Sleep comfortably before a day of Skiing, hiking, biking, golfing, riding, fishing. or hunting River rafting available in Carbondale and Glenwood Springs. We have dozens of ducklings each year and they follow us around in the mornings. There's plenty of parking and we do accept RVs. They can hook up for $40 per night to hot and cold water and electricity.
Soak in the Jacuzzi under the stars in the evening (fireworks not permitted). Sit around the Fire Pit and watch the logs glow in the dark, (fire wood provided). Cyclists can access the bike path that runs adjacent to the property. Hikers have closest access to Carbondale hiking trails on Redhill Mountain (Mushroom Rock, Blue Ribbon and 3 Gulches). Gaze at Mount Sopris from the higher ground on the property. This property provides all the modern creature comforts and conveniences. Bring your non-aggressive dog(s). Max. 2 x 70 lbs x. medium sized dogs. Dinning suggestions: We recommend the Village Smitty for breakfast, Homestead at the River Valley Golf Course for a dinner outside (pets allowed), El Korita for the best Mexican in Willits, Jaffa for the best Croissants next to City Market in El Jebel, The White House for family meals and Pizza in Carbondale, Tempranillo in Basalt to sit outside and enjoy Tapas, Hickory Smoke house for BarBQ in Aspen, Pine Creek Cookhouse for a something out of the ordinary (but a bit expensive). Need to really relax get an amazing facial at Tresses Salon in Glenwood, want a bit of a laugh at night try the Glenwood Vaudeville Review in Glenwood Springs, for a more private hot springs try the Iron Mountain Hot Springs. If you want to visit either Marroon Bells or Hanging Lake (no pets allowed) make sure you make reservations and we suggest going as early as possible as it can get very hot. Want to have fun snowmobiling try T-Lazy 7 up near Aspen. Alpine Angling in Carbondale will take you down the river float Fly Fishing. Feeling like some fun and adventure visit the Glenwood Caverns Adventure Park. Stop and visit Redstone on your way to Marble and visit the whitest US marble quarries that were used to build the Lincoln Memorial.
We are happy to provide cleaning, cooking, and shopping for a fee. The home is beautifully appointed with all of today's modern conveniences. Large screen HD TV's in the living area and the bedroom. Two electric fireplaces. A modern kitchen with a gas stove, dishwasher, microwave. Nespresso latissima coffee and cappuccino maker, coffee maker, toaster, kettle, raclette machine, fondue pot, waffle maker, slow cooker, high speed blender and fresh citrus fruit squeezer (great for making skinny margaritas). Full size washer and dryer. High quality cookware and table settings. Wi-Fi connection. Dish TV package, Netflix, Amazon Prime.

Frequently asked questions
About the host
Hosted by Alexandra/Stefan (Owner)

Brought up in the hotel and restaurant business and over 57 years of vacation rental experience we understand what our guests are looking for.
Why they chose this property
Because we care very much that our guests really have a wonderful time when they come to stay with us. The property is one of only 11 properties that is actually at river level. We think that our animals, the 83 ducks, frogs in spring time, daily visits "Big Boy" the heron, and our dogs Spankytoo and Sassy 2 blue heeler/collie mixes, they are currently young, disobedient and love EVERYBODY. (Sadly we lost Spanky in 2018, the best dog in the world and Evie on my 64th birthday this 2019. She was the light of my life and my eternal shadow). Our Darling and unique Wahsabi went to heavenly pastures on March 13th 2020. He will never be forgotten. All of this make this a fun and very special place to stay as well.
What makes this property unique
On the 40 mile stretch of the Roaring Fork, this home is right on the river's edge. This is one of the few properties where the bike path and irrigation ditch are NOT between the home and the river.
