Private Mountain/Valley Views: Just renovated only 5 min to downtown Carbondale!

BRAND NEW TO VRBO: This just-renovated chalet style home sits on top of a mesa that enjoys unsurpassed views of Mt. Sopris (13,000'), the Crystal River and the open ranch land below. Located just a few minutes up coveted Prince Creek, the home is only a five minute drive/ride to quaint downtown Carbondale (1.5 miles away), amazing mountain biking (Prince Creek trails), and world class fly fishing on the Crystal, Roaring Fork, Fryingpan and Colorado Rivers--all only minutes away. Skiing in both Aspen and Snowmass is only a 40 minute drive or stay local with amazing nordic skiing/ski touring and the famous Hot Springs in Glenwood Springs is only a 15 minute drive.

The one acre property is covered in pinyon and juniper trees and is surrounded by open space. Enjoy starry nights on any of the decks or patios, a bonfire in the SOLO stove, or just relaxing in one of the hammocks or hanging chairs while cherishing incredible mountain views.

The house was built like a European chalet in the 1960's by a 10th Mtn Division veteran and just went through a complete renovation. The master bedroom offers a brand new en-suite bathroom and it's own balcony overlooking the Elk Mountains. The guest bedroom offers a queen bed and the lower bedroom is equipped with a bunk bed (full and twin) just off of a TV/kids gaming nook. All three bathrooms were completely renovated with in-floor radiant heat and beautiful tile work. There is also a pull-out queen-sleeper in the living room and an office space off of the dining room that is perfect for Zoom meetings or a bit of privacy. The house also has Air Conditioning, which can be a must in the hot summer months.

While the property is incredible, its location in the valley is unparalleled. Rarely can you find such a remote feel surrounded by open space and incredible views only a short bike ride to town!

The renovation was just complete and is brand new to VRBO.

Please note: There is a separate cabin on the property with bunk beds--perfect for kids during the summer months. Please inquire with host on additional fees.

House is a very cute style. Classic look outside but modern renovation inside. Beds were really comfortable. Lots of room for hanging or eating. Host was very attentive and responsive. Would stay again.

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at Mike's ski chalet. The view of Mt. Sopris is amazing and the most peaceful way to wake up in the AM. The chalet has a cool history from the original owner along with nice updates to the kitchen and baths. We had plenty of room in the 3 bedroom and 3 bath home and Mike was an exceptional host!

Our stay in Carbondale was perfect. Mike was a perfect host. He called to check on us a couple of times while we were there to see if we needed anything. His home was perfect. Well appointed and very comfortable. We look forward to returning. Carbondale, Basalt and Aspen - they are all very close and each city has much to offer! We highly recommend this home.

Mike was awesome easy to work with, I was having some issues with the commercial truck I was driving (I did not take it to the property, 24' straight truck, I don't think it would have made the turns) he offered up tools to help resolve my issue. Hopefully I get it (I'm afraid this is going to become a hot property year round because of the view of Mt. Sopris) for my New Years Eve fireworks crew again next year. Wish i could post the pictures I took of the winter view on 12-29-2022 just wow.

The home is pretty remote with great views. You can tell owner put some money into modernizing. The smell upon arrival really spoiled the stay. The owner came by to try to fix and sent a plumber, but the smell never fully went away. The smell also has made it home with us on clothes we washed there. The first night there the owner's dog who lives nearby barked a lot and we asked owner to put him inside. Overall, an ok stay.

We booked a place in Carbondale to spend Christmas with our son’s future in laws. It was the perfect location with a beautiful view of Mt Sopris. The house was perfect for us with individual bedrooms and bathrooms. We really enjoyed our stay and will keep it in mind next time we are in the valley. Thank you Mike for your kindness and beautiful home!

The house was a perfect set up for two couples plus we had room to spread out! The house is comfortable and the views of Sopris are breathtaking. The one note I would add is if you rent the house during mud season bring boots. Living on a dirt road is, well, dirty!
