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.

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).

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.

Visit to Carbondale
Beautiful location steps away from the river on multiple acre property. My dog lived having run of the property with owner/hosts 2 dogs. Hosts (Alexandra and Stefan) live in another building on site and are extremely welcoming and helpful. The suite is immaculately maintained and well supplied, with comfy king size bed in room that opens out to river and hot tub. Would stay here again in a heartbeat.

About the host

Hosted by Alexandra/Stefan (Owner)

Host profile image
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.
