    Stefan and Alexandria are fabulous hosts. Their property is absolutely gorgeous, situated just 50 feet from the Roaring Fork River. If you like to fish, you can throw your line in the river just outside of the bedroom, or you can visit other prime locations near the property. I did some fly fishing on upper parts of the Roaring Fork and the Frying Pan River and caught some nice brown trout. It was a very relaxing and restful stay, and our two little doodles enjoyed the vacation too!

Surrounded by the Roaring Fork river was an added bonus with access to walking trails and fishing holes.

    We love the outdoors at this property. It’s green, shady, right on the river with the cooling effect and the lovely sound (along with the sound of a waterfall across the river and 2 fountains in the duck ponds on-site.), with great lounge chairs and dining table and chairs next to the Roaring Fork. The owners are lovely, welcoming hosts. There are over 2 acres of space for our dog to run around, complete with squirrels, and 2 resident dogs to hang out with. AND it abuts the paved bike/walking trail that runs from Glenwood Springs to Aspen. It’s less than a mile walk to Carbondale. This was our 3rd time to stay here, and we highly recommend it.

    My husband and I had the best week of some major R&R. They aren’t lying when they say it’s a bit of Heaven. Sleeping with the bedroom window open every night to hear the sound of the Roaring Fork River and reading next to the river was so relaxing. The entire property is gorgeous, the space itself is very clean and comfortable. The hosts were super accommodating and gave great advice on where to eat and visit in the area. We will definitely be back again!

    Stefan and Alexandra’s place along the Roaring Fork River is amazing! We will stay there every chance we get when visiting Carbondale, Colorado. The morning time in the hot tub when the temperature is 40 or 50 is so refreshing! Sitting outside in the comfortable lounge chairs and listening to the river and watching the wildlife is so relaxing and refreshing. You will want to stay here if you ever are in the Carbondale area. Thanks, Stefan and Alexandra for making this a special time for us. You were great hosts.

So much to do nearby -- cycling, hiking, fishing, day tripping to Redstone or Glenwood. Sitting in the hot tub looking out at the river is the best, most relaxing way to end the day.

    We thoroughly enjoyed our month-long stay at A Bit Of Heaven! Relaxing at river level is so peaceful. The mama bear and cub sitings were a special treat, the 95 ducks were a welcome sight each morning and evening, and Sassy and Spanky were great hosts — just like their parents! We loved this location, which feels like it’s off the beaten path but it’s actually only minutes from town! We loved the access to the Rio Grande Trail, which provided great views of the Roaring Fork River and Mt Sopris. The home was well-appointed, the furniture was comfortable, the water pressure was strong and the hot water was hot!! Alexandra & Stefan are excellent hosts with an attention to detail, quick to respond, and very friendly, interesting and entertaining. We’ve been traveling to Colorado for several years, but this is the first time that we felt like we were “home”. Thank you Alexandra & Stefan for sharing your “bit of heaven” with us. We are looking forward to seeing you again in September 2025! Stay well and take care.
