    The house was spacious and clean. We loved the location and being able to step out the front door to restaurants and walking trails. Communication with the host was quick and easy.

    Cute old house very convenient to Carbondale's Main Street. We lucked out there was a wonderful Friday walk, picturesque snow, hot cocoa, horse, drawn, sideboard, wonderful shops were open many of them had treats. The team was accommodating. The house is historic and is quirky Very close to the surrounding communities

    Great house and location. Easy walking distance to all the local restaurants. Very pet friendly, as front yard was fenced. Only quirk was that there were very tiny, innocuous beetles inside because of some annual migration going on. Would not prevent me from coming back.

    The house was beautiful and comfortable for my family, with three kids age 7-13. Everything was perfect. We had plenty of room and everything we needed. The beds were comfortable. The large dining table was great for puzzles and board games. We loved that we had a dedicated parking spot and could walk to everything that Carbondale has to offer. I would note though that the primary bedroom did not have blackout shades. The sun comes in pretty bright in that clerestory window. I usually travel with an eye mask for this reason.

    Great location - downtown Carbondale. Cozy 2 bedroom apartment like home. Spacious enough and clean. Amenities were “bare minimum” and beds are quite firm/hard, but we had a nice stay.

    We've stayed in both the Sunflower House and their backyard cabin (Red Door Cabin) before. Both spots are gems but the Sunflower House was perfect for our needs. This house is well-appointed with plenty of space for a longer stay in the town. We had everything we needed to feel at home and the location is optimal for walking around downtown Carbondale or a launching point to explore the rest of the valley. When we had a small parking issue (no fault of the Boutique Mountain Homes) the management team was quick to respond and remedy the issue. We've stayed in just about every dog friendly rental in Carbondale and the Sunflower House is easily our favorite.

    What a delightful and wonderful little cottage we stayed at while training in Carbondale. The location was perfect and the home was well stocked. We were able to make a few dinners while we were there for the week instead of getting restaurant food the whole time. Clean home, with lots of room. Perfect sized for a small family.

    This is great house located one block from Main Street in Carbondale. The home is nicely appointed, all furniture is in great shape. Kitchen was very useable and well stocked with everything needed to set a pretty dining room table. All appliances appear to be brand new. Bed was comfortable, linens and towels are plush. Great water pressure and plenty of hot water. The house was immaculate when I arrived with fresh flowers on dining room table. The home has lovely fragrant flower and herb garden at the entry and off of the dining room. Management was extraordinarily accommodating and access to the home was a breeze. Thank you for a nice Carbondale visit. J Riggs
