Ideal Mt location, quiet,authentic colorado,compact,just outside town&good food.

The Dollhouse is located just outside of Carbondale Colorado, the epicenter for fun, rocky mountain Adventure & culture! Listen to the song of the Crystal River while you sleep at the base of Mt. Sopris in your enchanted, organized, self contained, free-standing, no frills and extremely comfortable tiny cabin. Walk out the door to fish the crystal river, hike trails or bike the paved trail system that connects (5 mi.)to Carbondale, Aspen & Glenwood Springs. A sojourn at the Dollhouse will launch you into your Colorado vacation and assure your aspirations will land!

While here Enjoy:
Great views of mountain-scapes, accessible trails, and rivers to watch and listen to.

Layout: 2 VERY Comfortable beds for sleeping soundly.
Due to the compact size of the Bedroom, the Dollhouse allows for only 2 visitors. In the case that an unplanned 3rd person is brought , there will be an additional nightly charge of $40, and the owners will have the right to dismiss or cancel the reservation. Please communicate with us.
The bedroom has a very cozy queen size bed on the main floor where primary storage of convenience items and appliances are stowed under the bed frame. There is functional band diverse lighting a dresser and table with two chairs.
Loft twin bed (second bed) is an additional $40 charge for use of this second bed, upon request.
Also, During winter we request that all doors to the unit be securely closed at all times when not in use to avoid freezing plumbing. We reserve the right to charge $50 for non compliance to this request.
The dollhouse is a first hand cozy small space experience to deeply recharge your batteries.
Enjoy a DVD, outdoor chairs with mountain views, a garden with flowers, a beautiful lawn, mature trees with trail access.
Singing song birds, eagles, thumping woodpeckers, soaring hawks and all manner of wildlife are possible to witness during your stay.

How to spend the day?
There is so much to do right outside the door like walking to the river or miles along the waterway from your door. Oak forests with ponderosa and cottonwood trees offer shade through which birds sing and mountain views can be experienced.

on a short drive..........

Marble and Slow Groov'in BBQ is 30 min drive South on Hwy133
Glenwood springs is a 25 min drive away. River rafting. suping.
Aspen music festivals and iron mountain hot springs are nearby.
Aspen is just a beautiful 45 min drive east.
Wine tasting in Peonia.

For all who love a BEAUTIFUL scenic drive HWY 133 to Kebbler Pass is a scenic bypass that can take you to stand in Awe of the biggest Aspen Grove in Colorado only 1.5 hr. drive to Crested Butte.

*Guests ( 2 person max), have access to the main level, a loft with a second bed ( $40 additional charge), a bathroom via an outside door, serene, spacious grounds with plentiful, mature foliage and gorgeous flowers. You can sit next to a creek in the back, or eat at 3 of the lawn tables available with mountain views. Get a great taste of the mountains out your front door.

The neighborhood is quiet, in nature and remote. You'll get the feeling your camping in luxury. Blinds are installed to encourage sleeping in and privacy. There are tons of fantastic culinary experiences to be had in the various towns nearby (The Goat, Phat Thi, Allegria, The Village Smithy) and all manner of uncrowded mountain trails to explore (Avalanche Valley). Guests have intimated that they prefer staying at the doll house after soaking at the hots springs because they can unplug from being over stimulated and surrounded by people and noise.

Many guests have commented the great views and on how comfortable both beds are for sleeping and how well designed and cozy the small space feels. Because its a shift from a sprawling home there is an opportunity to let go and really relax and rest. Enjoy outdoor seating with mountain views, a garden with flowers, a beautiful lawn, mature trees and singing, birds trained in opera.
