Rocky Mountain Paradise (read our reviews!) | Cottage in Carbondale
4 Bedroom Cottage in Missouri Heights, Carbondale
Our hand built log and stone home is in central Roaring Fork Valley, a little closer to Aspen than Glenwood Springs. We have stunning views of the Rocky Mountains, and a delightful house and yard from which to enjoy the views.
Westcottage describes the main house (3 bedrooms, 2.5 bath, sleeps up to 8) It's possible we will be in the attached apartment (Buckaroo). If we are traveling it may be possible to get the Buckaroo as well, for an additional fee -- but still with a maximum of 8 people. It just gives you more privacy, space to spread out, and flexibility in sleeping arrangements. Just message us to ask our plans for your travel dates.
Westcottage has a cozy, rustic feel, and there are incredible opportunities for recreation in the area. Amenities include a wood stove, a fire pit in the front yard, a wood burning sauna in the back, a community swimming pool and tennis court in the summer, and cross country skiing, hiking or biking.
We have a rural feel, with preserved open space to the north, east and south. We're on three acres, but it feels much larger because of the open space in three directions. We're perched three miles above the highway (so there's easy access to shopping and local communities, with a great bus system connecting the valley), with inspiring views of the mountains. Wildlife abounds, with sightings of deer, fox, coyote, elk and many birds. The weather is often delightful, with warm (not hot) summers and snowy winters -- definitely distinct seasons. We're about a half hour from the ski slopes of Aspen or the hot springs and other attractions of Glenwood Springs.
The sauna is available all year.. The community pool and hot tub (Memorial Day - mid-September) are little used, so often it's like a private pool. You can enjoy the cultural and recreational activities of the valley, and then relax with the amenities in and around our home.
Out our door: biking ; gardens; hammocks and a multi person swing; wood burning sauna ; community swimming pool, hot tub, play ground and tennis courts in the summer within walking distance; fire pit area in the front yard; lots of wildlife.
Nearby: hiking and cross country ski trails
At the bottom of the hill: (a three mile drive) grocery shopping, movie theater, restaurants, a bus system that will take you up or down the valley, antique and craft shops.

Glenwood Springs: (a half hour drive) world's largest hot springs pool, white water rafting, Fairy Caves and amusement park, Yampa Vapor Caves, hiking and biking, fishing, golf, Ski Sunlight.
Other attractions in the valley: fly fishing on the Frying Pan River, ghost towns, the art and craft village of Redstone, hiking in the Wilderness Areas, mountain biking, an Aspen to Glenwood bike path, free concerts most nights of the summer.

Master bedroom has a queen bed and a small outside deck, with attached bathroom (and have we mentioned the views?)
