Great Carbondale Vacation Home

We stayed in Carbondale to visit Colorado Mountain College for our son. The house is in a quiet neighborhood and is easy to find. It is close to the main road and is near many restaurants and a park.We enjoyed sitting on the patio in the morning drinking coffee and eating a bagel. Highly recommend the home for anyone planning to visit Carbondale.
