About this house rental


Your adventure headquarters for all the recreational opportunities that this justly famous valley offers. Conveniently located mid-valley, this 2,700 sq.ft home will be your base to explore renowned skiing, fishing, cycling, hiking, golfing and more.
Just 12 minutes from downtown Carbondale and 35 min. from both Aspen and Glenwood Springs , this well appointed property awaits you. Located on 17 acres, with views of the entire Elk Range, you can start building memories of a lifetime.

The space
A spacious multi-purpose great room, with kitchen, dining, living and recreation areas provides your family/group a place to prepare for and relive the adventures of the day. Relax in comfort, with ample deluxe leather seating and 65" flat screen TV. The kitchen provides for all your needs with high-end appliances and well stocked supplies. Bar seating and extensive granite surfaces provide spacious meal prep and entertaining opportunities. Rec room with deluxe foosball and activity table will keep you entertained, along with games/cards/etc. provided. Don't forget to bring your fly tying materials. Three comfortable bedrooms and 2 1/2 bathrooms provide the space and privacy you need. Customized storage for skis/snowboards, bikes, fly rods and more keeps you organized and ready to explore all your outdoor options.
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.

Book this home! It will make your amazing trip to Colorado the perfect vacation. The owners have thought of everything. A private trail to a beautiful outdoor sitting area, comfy beds, a perfectly appointed kitchen, all the games you can think of, all the perfect storage for fly rides and your hiking gear! I could go on! Also, the owners are incredibly kind, thoughtful and communicative.We always love visiting CO. This house made us feel like we were locals. We can’t wait to come back.

I don't know if a written review will do this property justice, so do yourself a favor and BOOK a STAY! We will certainly be back, Lord-willing. Ted & Julia are the most gracious hosts. The early communication during booking and arrival was personal and incredibly helpful: information about local events, skiing help, hike suggestions, eat-out recommendations -- if there was a question or inquiry, they answered - and did so happily. Ted met us on arrival and spent time welcoming us. Julia stopped by a few days later just to visit and check on us. They are incredibly friendly and kind. The Lodge was amazing. The drop zone/foyer area is the perfect spot to "drop" all of your gear. We happen to be skiing so we would come in, shed our outer-wear, hang it up and let it dry. If you are fishing, hiking, kayaking, biking -- any outdoor adventure -- they have storage and gear drops for all of that, too. The Lodge was immaculately clean and very well- appointed. The furnishings were tasteful and tidy. We loved the wide selection of board games for family game nights. The kitchen has everything you could ever need to cook any meal - and includes high-end appliances that make it fun to cook - if you are so inclined. The beds were crazy-comfortable. Plenty of pillows and cozy blankets and duvets. We cannot recommend The Elk Lodge enough. Oh...and the views! Holy Cow, the views! Ted & Julia have a trail that runs up the hill next to their private residence that gives you the most spectacular view of the Elk Mountain Range - featuring views of several of Colorado's 14ers and the awe-inspiring Mt. Sopris. Ask Ted to point out all of the peaks - he can do it, and give you great information on them. He'll also make sure you don't miss the elk herd that travels through the property often. He sent us texts for the kids with their tracks - just for fun. It was so appreciated. You can tell that Ted & Julia really love hosting. Have I mentioned you should just book your stay? Go enjoy for yourself. You won't be disappointed. We cannot wait to be back.
