Description Description
Welcome to the Sunflower House — a lovingly restored Carbondale original turned southwest-inspired haven in the heart of downtown. With 2 bedrooms, 1 bathroom, and space for up to 5 guests, this professionally designed home blends vintage warmth with modern ease. Enjoy memory foam beds, a sun-drenched sitting room, kid-friendly spaces, and lush gardens. Just steps from Main Street's cafés, shops, and trails — this gem is a walkable retreat rich in charm and comfort.

Tucked just off Main Street, the Sunflower House is a piece of Carbondale’s story — one of the town’s original homes, now thoughtfully reimagined into a southwest-style retreat with a designer’s touch. From the moment you step into the sunny entryway, this space feels personal and storied, filled with light, texture, and charm.

Inside, vintage details meet cozy modern comforts. A bay-windowed sitting room invites slow mornings with a cup of coffee or evenings gathered with friends. This space also transforms into a private sleeping nook with a queen pullout sofa and privacy curtains. The adjacent dining room offers room for all to gather, with French doors that open to a side patio wrapped in lush summer greenery.

The home features two bedrooms: a guest room with a queen lodgepole bed near the front, and a tranquil primary suite tucked at the back — complete with pitched ceilings, wood floors, A\C (primary bedroom only) and a king-sized memory foam bed beneath three picture windows. Off the primary bedroom sits another patio adorned with string cafe lights, an outdoor dining set, and plenty of room to enjoy a Colorado sunset. The newly renovated bathroom includes a double vanity, tub/shower combo, and brand-new washer/dryer for added convenience.

Families will appreciate the dedicated playroom stocked with toys, while cooks will enjoy the updated kitchen with open wood shelving, ample storage, and all the essentials. Whether you’re dining al fresco, curled up on the leather couch for a movie night, or savoring the garden views from the porch, this home offers a peaceful rhythm in the heart of downtown.

We very much enjoyed our stay. Well stocked, even TP and paper towels! The home was very clean. We had a maintence issue, contacted them and it was fixed several hours later - very prompt and friendly response. Close to downtown and great playground nearby.. our grandaughter said it was the best playground ever! You wont regret staying at Sunflower House!

The house was beautiful and comfortable for my family, with three kids age 7-13. Everything was perfect. We had plenty of room and everything we needed. The beds were comfortable. The large dining table was great for puzzles and board games. We loved that we had a dedicated parking spot and could walk to everything that Carbondale has to offer. I would note though that the primary bedroom did not have blackout shades. The sun comes in pretty bright in that clerestory window. I usually travel with an eye mas

We stayed several nights. The location is fantastic for Carbondale, and I appreciated the parking which fit our truck and was behind a gate. I definitely could tell this was managed by a business rather than a homeowner as it felt less like a home (no spices, no olive oil, soap dispensers didn?t work, and little things likes that), and they communicated their would be $100/hr fee if we were late leaving after checkout which I?ve not encountered before. All that being said, we were comfortable and really enj

The house was roomy, clean and welcoming. We (4 adults) loved having coffee out on the patio every morning, and only wished it had had a few more chairs under the roofed portion. We were there during a heat wave. There's no central a/c, but 1 bedroom has a mini-split and there are several ceiling fans in the house. With the owner's instructions to keep shades down during the day, and the ceiling fans, the house was warm but comfortable almost all the time. It'd be helpful to have ceiling fans in the front s

The views from the property were breathtaking ? the perfect mix of mountains and serene landscapes. The location was ideal for exploring Carbondale and nearby areas, offering tr

Great location and alternative to staying in Aspen for the price. Would definitely stay again. Location is key, it's right next to all the restaurants and 2 minute walk to coffee shop. The bed in the back bedroom was definitely too soft, so if you have a bad back, sleep in the other room. This place has everything you need for cooking and a propane grill in the back for our steaks! 5 star*****

We've stayed in both the Sunflower House and their backyard cabin (Red Door Cabin) before. Both spots are gems but the Sunflower House was perfect for our needs. This house is well-appointed with plenty of space for a longer stay in the town. We had everything we needed to feel at home and the location is optimal for walking around downtown Carbondale or a launching point to explore the rest of the valley. When we had a small parking issue (no fault of the Boutique Mountain Homes) the management team was qu

Fantastic stay! Unbeatable location just off the main street, perfect for walking around. Very clean, easy check in/out, felt like an old building but nicely updated and beautifully decorated; didn't feel like a cookie-cutter AirBnB, more like staying in a friend's home. Great shower, well-stocked kitchen, comfortable beds with many pillow options. Loved having the playroom for the kids. Some parts of the house were less kid friendly (old fashioned floor grates for the HVAC, one of which was loose) but gene
