About this property

Our 4 BR, 3 BA home is a perfect getaway for families or couples wanting a nicely appointed, comfortable vacation rental at any time of the year. Situated on a large lot on the beautiful Crystal River, the house has over 3,100 square feet of living space on two levels:
1) An open-concept main floor with kitchen, dining room, living room, large deck, 2 bedrooms, 2 ensuite full bathrooms, and laundry room; and
2) A walk-out lower level with 2 more bedrooms, 1 full bathroom, a large family room with patio and back yard access, and a bar sink, refrigerator, and microwave.
The house features hardwood floors and quartz kitchen counters on the main level, carpeting in all bedrooms and family room, and an eclectic western style with comfortable furnishings.

Downtown Carbondale—only a 15-minute walk from the house—is a charming, historic town and a wonderful alternative to Aspen or Glenwood Springs. Named one of the best towns in Colorado by Outside Magazine and 5280, Carbondale offers restaurants fit for foodies as well as access to art, music, shopping, and terrific recreational options.

You will find world- class downhill skiing and snowboarding in Aspen and Snowmass, easily accessed in 30-45 minutes by car or local bus. Ski Sunlight mountain near Glenwood Springs is a smaller but popular alternative with locals as are the two hot springs pools in Glenwood. Cross country skate and nordic skiers enjoy groomed trails at nearby community-run Spring Gulch, others in Snowmass and Aspen, and many ungroomed back country trails. The area offers unparalleled cycling (paved trails running from Aspen to Glenwood Springs) and mountain biking.

Fishing is popular in the gold medal waters of the Crystal and Roaring Fork Rivers as well as other rivers nearby, and rafting/kayaking trips are also offered through local outfitters. Golfing at lovely River Valley Ranch is less than a mile away. The surrounding national forests provide exceptional hiking for all levels of hikers and are particularly beautiful during the summer and fall seasons.

Another historic town, Redstone, is only 15 minutes south of town up scenic Highway 133.

We are happy to provide our guests with advice and information on local activities and sites.

The house was clean and we felt very comfortable during our stay. The kitchen has all the utensils needed to cook a good meal. We all felt at home.

A perfect fit for us!

Outdoor sitting areas are important to us and this house was perfect! We had 3 couples all cyclists. The bike rides in this area are just breathtaking, especially with the fall foliage! The house is not new, but very comfortable. And it was the best equipped vrbo I have every stayed in (and I have a lot of experience in this type of travel). Loved our stay and hope to come back.

About the host

Hosted by Thomas & Linda Kelley

This home is special to us. My husband, Tom, built this house in 1991, and his sons grew up here. Now a second home, we enjoy time here ourselves with family and friends whenever we can get away.
We still work in the Denver-Boulder area, but as we scale back we are spending more time in Carbondale. In the meantime, we want to share the house and all of the wonderful activities the area offers with others.

Why they chose this property

Beautiful views overlooking the river in a well-appointed and very comfortable house. The house works well for couples, families or multi-generational groups, with two levels of living space and a large, well-equipped kitchen.

What makes this property unique

The views and sounds of the river and the Carbondale community's friendliness and charm make this a relaxing, special place. The area offers numerous outdoor activities in all seasons for all ages.
