Everything at the property was very nice but was very surprised that there was a single bathroom for a property able to sleep 6. It was also surprising that the so called master also had bunk beds in addition to the king bed. Felt somewhat mislead by the homes profile but other than that everything was nice.

Carbondale Stay

This property is a great place to stay. The house was clean and organized upon arrival. The location is convenient to rivers, recreation areas and other towns and cities. James is responsive to messages usually taking one business day to answer my questions. If I had another opportunity to visit this part of Colorado I would stay here with my family again.

Great Carbondale Vacation Home

We stayed in Carbondale to visit Colorado Mountain College for our son. The house is in a quiet neighborhood and is easy to find. It is close to the main road and is near many restaurants and a park.We enjoyed sitting on the patio in the morning drinking coffee and eating a bagel. Highly recommend the home for anyone planning to visit Carbondale.

Great little home, everything was super comfortable especially the master bed/mattress! The home was super clean, quite and had everything you need. We appreciated that we could keep our bicycles in the garage overnight! Great location for being close to Main St. and also the highways.
