Your newly built (Aug. '20) headquarters for all the recreational opportunities that this justly famous valley offers. Conveniently located mid-valley, this 2,700 sq.ft home will be your home to explore renowned skiing, fishing, cycling, hiking, golfing and more.
Just 12 minutes from downtown Carbondale and 35 min. from both Aspen and Glenwood Springs , this well appointed property awaits you. Located on 17 acres, with views of the entire Elk Range, you can start building memories of a lifetime.

The space
A spacious multi-purpose great room, with kitchen, dining, living and recreation areas provides your family/group a place to prepare for and relive the adventures of the day. Relax in comfort, with ample deluxe leather seating and 65" flat screen TV. The kitchen provides for all your needs with high-end appliances and well stocked supplies. Bar seating and extensive granite surfaces provide spacious meal prep and entertaining opportunities. Rec room with deluxe foosball and activity table will keep you entertained, along with games/cards/etc. provided. Don't forget to bring your fly tying materials. Three comfortable bedrooms and 2 1/2 bathrooms provide the space and privacy you need. Customized storage for skis/snowboards, bikes, fly rods and more keeps you organized and ready to explore all your outdoor options.
You have a full laundry room with separate washer and dryer, folding and hanging/drying space as well as utility sink for your convenience. Outside hose for bike and equipment washing conveniently located.
REMOTE WORKERS/HOME SCHOOLERS Please note the Lodge has both a desk and a folding table for when our guests are not outside playing. If a private workspace is needed they will fit, just, into the Sunset and Sunrise bedrooms. The laundry room with it's long table would also provide a quiet, private work area.
This home is situated on 17 quiet, sage covered acres, with horses, donkeys, goats and llamas grazing nearby. All centrally located within close distance to all gold medal rivers, world renowned ski resorts and gold medal mountain biking (the road cycling on nearly empty roads here is also among the best in Colorado). You can spend years hiking the countless breathtaking mountain trails and never have to repeat. The star gazing through clear mountain air is indescribable.

We are located in Garfield County just minutes from downtown Carbondale and less than 30 minutes from I-70, your enclave in the mountains is easy to get to. Once here this mid-valley location makes the entire valley from Aspen to Glenwood Springs easy to access.

During the snowy months there are great sledding opportunities on the property.

Other things to note:
We know that traveling with pets is a wonderful thing, particularly in the beautiful mountain West. Unfortunately we must maintain a strict no pet policy to protect all future guests (and our family members) who are allergic to cats, dogs, etc. We love all animals, but are afraid we can't make exceptions. So sorry.

We offer a 15% discount for reservations of 7 days or more and 30% discount for reservations of 28 days or more. This discount is automatically applied when you request qualifying lengths of stay.

Sorry, we do not allow grills or campfires/propane fireplaces. We love grilling and sitting by a fire as much as anyone, but during these years of drought and in light of the area's terrain/foliage the risks are just too great. The wildfire risk season is very long here in Colorado and understandably Garfield county fire restrictions are very strict. For safety reasons this rule is very important up here on this dry and often windy plateau. Even in the winter there is dry flammable brush scattered across this area, usually exposed above snow. Please also check with Garfield County during non-winter months as there are often prohibitions on smoking outdoors (we do not allow smoking in The Lodge at any time). For updates on outdoor smoking, etc. please see: https://www.garfield-county.com/emergency-management/fire-restrictions/.

Since opening the Lodge in September 2020 we have been listed on both major short-term rental platforms. MULTIPLE ADDITIONAL REVIEWS ARE AVAILABLE ON THE OTHER ONE. PRICING MAY DIFFER.

About the host

Hosted by Ted and Julia

Host profile image
We are an active retired couple, who love and explore the outdoors. We have extensive travel experience. This will help us understand your needs and desires while traveling. We've lived in Carbondale since Aug, 2019, having moved from Nashville, TN where we were for 25 yrs. Ted is originally from the NY area and Julia is from England. We've been traveling out west for several decades to pursue recreational excitement. Prior to retirement we surveyed the mountain West and found that the Roaring Fork Valley ticked all the boxes for what we were looking for in our active retirement. It has exceeded all of our expectations. Ted loves to ski, snowshoe, cycle, hike/backpack, fly fish, and is active in his home pottery studio and the local community clay center. Julia enjoys yoga, hiking, snowshoeing, nordic skiing, water color painting, cooking, sewing and reading.

Why they chose this property

The Roaring Fork valley is a recreational and cultural gem. Far enough from major population centers it is served by 4 nearby airports (Aspen, Eagle/Vail, Grand Junction and Gunnison/Montrose) and is protected from the inconveniences associated with crowds. Living the mountain lifestyle is easy, relaxed and picturesque. Conveniently located mid-valley allows you to easily reach nearly limitless options for fun and adventure up and down this uniquely wonderful valley. When home you'll have 17 acres of sage covered space to roam, including a trail to the summit of the property with breathtaking views of Mt. Sopris and the entire Elk Range, including Capitol Peak and the Maroon Bells. Watch for extensive wildlife on and around the property.

What makes this property unique

Our goal is to provide you the perfect base for all of the exciting outdoor and cultural opportunities this unique valley has to offer. We live in a separate house on this large property and look forward to making you feel at home. We'll be here to answer your questions and provide guidance while respecting your privacy.
