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.

Please note that we require a cleaning every 2 weeks for long-term stays. This will include a surface clean, linens/towels exchange and can be scheduled at your convenience. The cost will be approximately 1/2 of our regular check-out cleaning fee. This fee will be calculated once booking has been confirmed.

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.
