About this property

Crystal River Ranch House | 30 Acre Fishing Dream

Reconnect with nature at our freshly renovated, charming country home on 13 Moons Ranch, nestled at the base of Mount Sopris. This 3-bed, 3-bath retreat is just 7 minutes from Carbondale, offering private Crystal River fishing, a pond, and 30 acres of serene ranch land. With a new back deck, fast WiFi (though intermittent due to the rural setting), and peaceful surroundings, it’s perfect for families to unwind. This home is meant for relaxation, not parties—please respect this family-friendly space.

Welcome to 13 Moons Ranch: a space where artists, musicians, and the community come together at the base of 13,000-foot Mount Sopris. Upon entering the home, the open concept living space invites everyone together in conversation at the italian-inspired dining table and bench seating adorned with geometric chandelier lighting. Natural light engulfs the newly-constructed kitchen as you prepare a light fare with your stainless steel appliances, gas range, bar stool seating for four, and adequate entertaining crockery. The relaxed leather furnishings and pedestal gas fireplace in the living space look out upon the private alpine pond and nearby massive mountain scapes. From the seating area, immerse yourself in the pine-scented fresh air as you open the door onto the back deck space and enjoy a stunning dark night's sky from the comfortable outdoor seating area.

The master suite emanates the feel of a cozy, one of a kind sleeping quarters for four. The plush master king bed with tasteful linens rests below the treehouse double twin bunks for your little mountain hikers. With its clean rustic finishings, new flooring, and rest & repose for four, the master suite celebrates family living in simple mountain splendor. In addition, the newly-renovated master bathroom encompasses a free standing soaking bath, jack and jill wash basins, a double vanity, and a crisp, mosaic-tiled rainwater shower.

The second bedroom leads out to the deck area and celebrates simplistic mountain style with its relaxing and rustic queen bed, splendid views and small ensuite bathroom with shower. Enjoy cool, organic tones on the restful queen bed in the third bedroom, accompanied by a western secretary desk space and closet readied for a multi-week stay. The hallway bathroom displays austere decor and a rialto-style polished tile tub.

Travel from the home, less than 15 minutes up the road to explore the historic tiny town of Redstone or minutes to the beautiful, family-friendly downtown of Carbondale. Although neighboring the town, you will feel the quiet seclusion of this tastefully-renovated mountain ranch that is an enviable point of departure for both summer and winter outdoor pursuits.

PLEASE NOTE:

- This home is somewhat close to the main road (HWY 133) and some road noise can be heard. It hasn't been an issue for most of our guests, but others that are sensitive to noise may not enjoy it.

- This space is located on the beautiful 13 Moons Ranch a biodynamic 30-acre working ranch and non-profit education center where artists, musicians, and the community come together. While this space is extremely private and at least a few acres away from other structures, there are other barns and residences on the 30-acres. Occasionally there are small educational events held at the ranch that focus around art and music. We will provide a link in the guide book for the ranch and these programs but like our guests to know that they will occasionally see small groups of people gathering to learn. We encourage you to join if you can!

- There is no television in this home as the homeowners want guests' to focus on unplugging and enjoying the beautiful nature around them!

- We require the home to be cleaned every 14 days during a stay, a service that is included in your booking payment up to 29 nights. If you have booked for 30+ nights, an additional payment will be requested after your booking is confirmed to cover this service.

- You will be staying in the heart of the beautiful - and wild - mountains of Colorado. You may see or experience animals and pests such as bears, deer, elk, mice, packrats, insects, bobcats, snakes, raccoons, and other such wild things. While all our homes are well-managed, we cannot predict the unpredictable as we live in a natural setting. Please understand this prior to booking this home.

Alone and together

This was a place for many generations to be together and yet find the space to be alone. ..a place of peace and joy, adventure and solace. We came to the Roaring Fork Valley to Celebrate my Father’s Life. This was the perfect home and property to do it.

Lovely, serene mountain rental

There is something special about this property. The house is everything as described (more functioning outdoor lighting would have been appreciated). It is comfortable, was exceptionally clean and the view of Sopris is unbelievable. We loved the back deck! If you explore the property and find the river, the teepee, the alter. It feels like sacred ground. We even had a bear walk through the back yard one day! Right on the bike trail and the highway. Highway noise was no problem for us. We hope to be back next year! We did use the oven and did not find hot pads. Not a deal breaker but a suggestion.

Incredible Location!

Nice older, well kept house on the banks of the Crystal River with a beautiful back deck and a pond that reflects Mount Sopris. Just a few miles outside Carbondale, with short scenic drives to Redstone/Marble to the SW... Basalt/Aspen to the SE and Glenwood Springs to the north. With good trout fishing in all directions. Some small things need improvement / upgrade, but they did not detract from our great experience.

Carbondale home

This place was cute but way less upscale feeling in person. Our code didn't work to get in but luckily the company was responsive when I called (we had to drive into town to get service to call). There was also a repair person that left plumbing supplies all over one bathroom and knocked on the door shortly after we got in to collect them. The view of the mountain was beautiful outside the back. I thought there was a river there, too, but it was more of a reservoir/pond. Overall it was spacious and was conveniently located to carbondale.

Great spot for fishing access

The house is a guest house on a large property. It does need some updating and maintenance, as we had a few days of trouble, but the property management team was fast and responsive when called. The pond in back does not have fish, however, there’s a short walk to some great fishing nearby. Locals will park nearby to access

Great house, fits the bill for a family!

We loved this spot for our winter vacation. It was very clean, the kitchen was well stocked, beds comfortable and nice linens and towels. The location is a short drive from Carbondale which has amazing restaurants. We also drove to the mountains to ski and enjoyed a 45/60 minute drive to Aspen. We really couldn't have been happier with the spot, it has nice outdoor space too which was enjoyed in the sunny afternoons. The dishwasher was broken during the trip but the rental team was very responsive and that in no way impacted our stay, we would definitely stay here again!

Crystal River Ranch stay

This property was lovely and as advertised. We had a great stay. I would stay here again. The view from the back door to the mountains is pretty breathtaking. My only issue with the property is that the lamp post at the road and the front of the driveway was out. It is almost impossible to see this house or the address numbers at night. We came to the house during the day, but still could not find it at night. They need a way to illuminate that lamp post and the house number so people can find it.

Mountain view

We had an amazing stay. The house is very comfy and decorated nicely. It's all about that mountain view and exploring the river! Caught a few trout out back. Don't let the lack of a TV dissuade you; plenty of games, and wifi works well enough for music and dancing. Great location for exploring Glenwood Springs and Redstone.

Annual family getaway

The management company did a wonderful job. The property was suitable for our gathering but needs a few upgrades including screens on the patio doors (with no a/c, fans weren't enough - we needed the cross breezes) and more comfortable outdoor furniture to enjoy the fantastic mountain view on the back deck (the house is very near the road, so car/truck noise is an issue in the front yard).
