Vacations should be relaxing!!! Thanks so much for staying in our cottage and for taking such good care of it!
Really enjoyed my stay here. The place is thoughtfully built, comfortable, very clean, and well stocked with amenities - everything needed for a smooth trip. Everything felt well maintained, easy to use, and the location was convenient while still feeling private.The host was very responsive and helpful throughout the stay, which made everything even easier. It was also great to be able to bring a pet—the yard isn’t fully fenced, but it still worked well.Carbondale itself is a great town with plenty of good restaurants. Would absolutely come back.

Thanks so much for writing such a thorough review. It is always helpful to us as hosts, but also for potential guests!
Linda and Andy were very accommodating and responsive to follow-up questions we had. The cottage was lovely, clean and cozy with everything you could possibly need. It's also in a really great location, just a quick and easy walk to and from town. We enjoyed our time there and look forward to staying in Carbondale again in the future.
Quite possibly the best ski condo ever. The parking spot is five steps from the front door, making loading and unloading easy. The unit has the ideal floor plan. It is well furnished and the kitchen is particularly well equipped. The appliances are brand new. It was convenient to run down to the Brush Creek shuttle station. The hosts are readily accessible if you need anything. The TV came with every conceivable streaming service.

Thanks for staying in our cottage, and for taking the time to write a review!!!
Linda and Andy have lived in Carbondale and the Roaring Fork Valley for over 40 years. They have watched the town grow from a small mining and ranching community to being named one of the “Top 12 Towns” in the “50 Next Great Places to Live and Play” by National Geographic Adventure magazine and can offer great advice on what to see and do in the valley. They live in the main house and along with their young adult son work in a separate artist's studio on the property. Andy is a talented landscape painter working in oil whose paintings are included in numerous collections and is represented by Korologos Gallery in Basalt Colorado and A Gallery in Salt Lake City, Utah. Linda, after retiring from managing a 1.5 acre organic school garden, works with glass creating functional and decorative pieces. Young Andy works in acrylic, creating geometric color studies.
Why they chose this property
Carbondale became home for Andy after graduating from Colorado College in the early 70's. He finds the light on the western slope of the Rockies provides the perfect venue for drawing and painting. When he purchased the property Carbondale was a small town with a small town pace. While it has grown it remains a place where you know your neighbors and rarely have to deal with traffic or crowds. Linda came to the Roaring Fork Valley in the late sixties to be a ski bum. While she left that lifestyle behind, the beauty of the valley has kept her here. Carbondale is where Andy and Linda raised their family and have long-standing friendships that keep them here.
What makes this property unique
The main house is a craftsmen style bungalow built in 1917. The cottage was designed to fit into the overall warmth of that architectural style, but has the benefit of having all the modern comforts. In the summer the numerous gardens throughout the property reflect the whole family's love of gardening. The 8th street property is in a quiet residential neighborhood, which reflects Carbondale's eclectic personality. Neighboring houses run the gamut from log cabins to 60's ranches to old Victorians. It would be easy for guests to imagine that they live in a small mountain town with its slower pace of life and everything needed within walking distance.
