We had a wonderful stay for our family reunion! The property was beautifully appointed and had every possible inclusion needed to have a comfortable stay. The surrounding area was safe for little ones and the neighborhood was super friendly. A short and easy drive to Carbondale for any supplies and supermarkets etc not too far away. We really loved our week and will be making this a regular trip! The team at Boutique Mountain were also super responsive and assisted us with all enquiries and information as needed.Show Less

This cabin exceeded our expectations in every way possible. It was beautiful, remote, close to downtown Aspen and the Maroon Bells. We went during peak flow on the creek behind the house and having the windows open to the rushing water all night was nice. All the staff we met (and animals) on the farm were nice and it all made for a wonderful vacation. Can't recommend this place enough!Show Less

My group of 13 had a wonderful stay. There was plenty of room for all of us. The drive is beautiful and scenic, check in was a breeze, and the house is immaculate. The kitchen is huge and fully stocked so making big family meals was easy. If you need a house for a large group, look no further. Be sure to check out Maroon Bells, Mushroom Rock, and Glenwood Hot Springs!Show Less

I don’t often return to the same Airbnbs but I might have to with this one! We had an absolutely incredible time here. The views are SPECTACULAR and the windows are enormous so you can fully enjoy them from anywhere in the house. We had a little trouble with check-in but it was my own fault for not paying attention to instructions. Truly cannot recommend this place enough!Show Less

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at The Red Door. The cabin has almost everything you'd need for a weekend getaway. It was comfortable and rustic (but in a good way!). Carbondale is a really underrated mountain town with good food, cute shops, and a dog friendly brewery. The cabin is right off main street so it is highly walkable, and also a short drive to Maroon Bells and Glenwood Springs. If you are traveling with a dog, be sure to check out the off-leash Carbondale Nature Park just a 7 minute walk down the road. We'd love to visit again.Show Less
