Comfortable home in a perfect location
We found this home to be so comfortable and cozy. The location cannot be beat. Right on Main Street so walking to coffee shop, stores and restaurants is so easy. Also location on the trail out the back of the house was wonderful as well. The house has everything we needed to enjoy life in Carbondale for a few days! We would love to come back and stay here again.
This is the second time we’ve stayed at this wonderful home. The place was spotless, beds were very comfortable, and kitchen was well-appointed. The location is ideal for enjoying everything Carbondale has to offer…right on Main Street within walking distance from shops, restaurants, and parks. We will definitely come back!
Amazing 1880s Victorian house steps from Carbondale's main street! We loved this unique house that combined old school architecture and decor with modern appliances and a steam shower. The location was perfect and the house was just darling. Only (minor) issue was the icemaker didn't work well. The house was amazingly appointed, especially in the kitchen, and surrounded by lovely flowers and trees. We would definitely stay here again!
House was clean and spacious. Kitchen well stocked. Best location if you are looking for 'walkable' downtown.
It is old, as advertised, and carries the 'old' smell and slanted floors:> Windows were all sealed up and we were unable to get fresh air into the house. Would have been nice to open windows for spring time. The house served it's purpose and we would actually book again.
Perfection! Everything about this house was fabulous. The beds were comfortable. The sunroom was delightful. The location can't be beat for those wishing to be close to downtown Carbondale. Shops and restaurants are within steps. We we very happy with our stay.
This is the perfect house for a stay in Carbondale. The location is great and the house is very comfortable with a ton of character. Property manager is super to work with.
We enjoyed the historic but updated house. Great location right at the end of Main Street - very easy walk to coffee shop / restaurants. Property manager was great to work with.
Awesome location steps to everything Carbondale has to offer. Big property, funky old house (built in the 1800's!), but very comfortable, and well appointed. Had everything we needed.
This is the 5th time we’ve stayed at this beautiful property, and, once again, we were impressed! Beds are comfortable, air conditioning works, kitchen is well-appointed, and everything is spotless! Easy walk to downtown shops and restaurants. And Mandy is a dream to work with. I will stay here every time I come to Carbondale!
This house is perfect for a long weekend in Carbondale. Right downtown, you can walk to shops and restaurants. The historic, 2 bedroom house is clean, well stocked, nicely furnished. Beds are very comfortable and the off-street parking is a plus. Mandy is great to work with, professional, friendly, and accommodating. We have stayed here several times and look forward to our next visit.

Lovely home in downtown
The house is in an amazing location walkable to downtown for eating and shopping. We loved taking the cruiser bikes out to run errands and along the bike path right by the house.
The house i perfect in every way and the host was super responsive!
We would stay again for sure!
1886 Victorian renovated with modern amenities on Old Main Street
Exactly as advertised - so refreshing. We skied Snowmass and Highlands, had some great meals and people watching in Aspen, and returned to our quiet 1880s Main Street and House. Great coffee shop on Main Street Carbondale. Looked like there were some interesting places to eat and drink but we had to leave some surprises for next time.
