About the host

Hosted by Stephen Caragol

Host profile image
We are a Steamboat family with a passion for the outdoors and nature. We have lived here since 2000, so we have lots of knowledge of the area. Stephen is all things biking and Pickleball!

Why they chose this property

We constructed the entire building and kept one of the best units. We always felt this is one of the best locations in all of Steamboat Springs!

What makes this property unique

Downtown overlooking the Yampa River with unobstructed views. The location is truly the best and awesome for all seasons. Private garage and plenty of parking. Because there are no buildings or bars located across the street, it is much quieter, and you get a great view of the river; but it is a short 2 blocks to the action.
We have also filled the unit with mostly local art. We have so many talented artists in town!
