Carbondale, Colorado
This beautiful, light-filled, 4 bedroom, two bath, 2400 square foot home is situated on five and a half acres of mountain property nestled in old cottonwoods, fruit trees, beautiful gardens, a labyrinth and fountains and all with a creek running through it. The house is very much a sanctuary made of real adobe bricks covered with exquisite, marble-like plaster, large log beams, real corbels and all sorts of santa fe-like details. The kitchen is large with an island and adobe benches that look out through large picture windows towards the creek. The high-ceilinged living room is a wonderful place to relax while sitting by the adobe fireplace and bathed in sunlight streaming through french doors. A hot tub sits on a raised brick patio, overlooking the creek, where you can watch the abundant birdlife during the day and the stars at night. There is a spring-fed pond and many out-buildings on the property, including a barn once featured in the movie 'flash back'! The property is located on a popular road bike circuit and there is hiking on blm land right out the front door. It is less than fifteen minutes drive to carbondale and glenwood springs where you will find excellent dining and a world famous hot springs. Aspen, known for its great skiing in the winter and music and hiking in the summer is only 35 miles away. Or you can just stay put and enjoy the quiet days and star-filled nights, miles away from city lights and sound!
Great time with family for Thanksgiving.
This was our family's second time staying at The Forbes' property. We absolutely love this house. It has become the family favorite for all of us (spouse, 3 children, and brother). We travel a lot for our kids' MTB races, but we look forward to ending our season at this property each year. Janice and A.O. are the best!!
We enjoyed our weekend tremendously. The hotsprings, dinner and theater were great, we played alot of scrabble and really enjoyed having coffee on the beautiful patio.
We loved staying here! We enjoyed the property so much we rarely went into town for the activities we planned to do. The hammock by the creek, the hot tub, the spacious house all made our stay so relaxing and enjoyable. The kids really enjoyed the chickens and exploring the area. And Janice was an excellent and responsive host.
Everything was great.
Janice and Arthur's home was the perfect stay for our large family!! We absolutely adored the entire property. You can feel the love and joy Janice and Arthur have put into their home from the moment you drive up. Our 3 boys loved all of the books and games, and especially the creek and hot tub! This place felt like a home to us, not just a vacation rental. We can't wait to go back and spend more time there!
This was a hidden gem oasis! My husband, 2 toddlers 18months and 3 year old and I had a great time! The boys loved the creek! It rained most of the time but was beautiful when it didn’t! Thank you so much for opening your home to us!
A beautiful property in a stunning location. We enjoyed our stay a great deal. Thanks for welcoming us!
As we were sitting by the rushing waters of the creek, watching the butterflies lighting on the wildflowers, I actually thought to myself - I hope this is what heaven is like! The house is light and airy yet warm and cozy, filled with all you will need for a long stay. Books, games, videos, satellite tv, and wifi. The owners have filled their home with art and collectibles from traveling the world. The area is quiet and peaceful and at night we saw more stars than I knew existed. Would love to come back for a longer stay!
We rented the house over Labor Day weekend with our friends. The house is very spacious and bright. It has a Mexican hacienda style which we all loved! We had 3 kids with us and they all played in the backyard and rolled down the hills and laughed and giggled and it was joy and happiness all around. There is also meditation/circles in the garden for relaxation and a creek that runs in the back of the house which our dog loved playing in. The hot tub was a nice entertainment for the adults and the chickens a nice entertainment for the kiddos. We all had wonderful time we will always cherish and remember.
