Casa Del Sol - Serene surroundings with spectacular mountain views

After turning off 4 Mile Road (CR 117) and driving over the creek, you will arrive at Casa del Sol by walking up flagstone patio steps and entering a spacious, sunny studio. There is a bedroom nook with a comfortable king-size bed, a fully stocked kitchen, a cozy kitchen table, and a large, soft couch for relaxing. There is a spacious bathroom which includes a closet and a washer and dryer. The living space has multiple wide windows overlooking the mountains. You have your own balcony where you can enjoy the views of Mount Sopris. The vaulted 20-foot ceiling creates a comfortable, open loft accessible by a ladder, where you will find a full bed and living space.
Casa del Sol is perfect if you are hoping to experience the mountain town life and yet be able to retreat to a quieter space - or if you want to be a 10-minute drive away from Sunlight Ski Resort. Casa del Sol is uniquely located between Glenwood Springs and Sunlight Mountain Resort- each one about 5 miles away on Four Mile Road.
Casa Del Sol is great for couples but can accommodate up to 4 guests. Please note that it has a studio-style layout, so privacy is limited if the group is more than a couple.
Please also note that the driveway serves 3 other residences, spread out on more than 10 acres (plus 10 acres of mountainside). The nearest house is 30 yards away. Casa Del Sol sits atop a garage, which is used solely for storage (not for cars). We live nearby and have great relationships with all our neighbors. The families include children and a few friendly dogs.

Where the driveway crosses the creek, there is a small field on one side (for playing ball and running around), and on the other side, an open area with horseshoes and creek access. This area is open to guests and neighbors (but you will usually have the space to yourself). There is no fishing in the creek (but several rivers in the area boast world-class fly fishing). In the spring, the creek will be much higher, slowing to a meandering stream in the summer.

In the summer, the hike up Ski Sunlight is beautiful and quiet - you will often find yourself the only one there. Four Mile Park offers hiking, horseback riding, and mountain biking. If you are a runner or biker, Dry Park Road is less than a mile up Four Mile, and offers 8 miles of compacted dirt road that meanders through open ranch land and sagebrush. You can reach Carbondale by continuing for 11 miles. This is near the Spring Gulch Nordic Ski Center, a wonderful place to classic or skate ski in the winter.

Ski Resorts: Ski Sunlight is a short ten-minute drive up the road. Sunlight offers a wide variety of terrain, with a friendly local charm.
Aspen is forty miles away - and boasts four world-class resorts - Snowmass, Highlands, Buttermilk, and Ajax. The crowds in Aspen are much lower than at resorts closer to the Front Range.
For more world-class skiing, Vail and Beaver Creek are an hour away to the east.

***Special Note for winter guests: All Wheel Drive or four-wheel-drive autos are required when staying in December, January, and February. Difficult conditions may also exist in November and March. We have the driveway professionally plowed and generally do not have problems with it. However, inappropriate cars can and do get stuck due to elevation changes in the driveway, as well as the possibility of slick ice and deep snow. Stuck cars do cause problems as the driveway serves three separate properties. You are required to provide information about the cars that will be driven during the winter. Guests who become stuck are responsible for all associated costs.***
