This place looks even better than the photos. Christine and Alex were extremely lovely. The location is great nice and quiet but not far at all from town. I will definitely be back again in the future!
Everything was really nice and clean. The river is a short walk right from the backyard. Communication with host was easy and friendly. Overall great stay with my best friend for a long weekend.

Disliked: Cleanliness
Not cleaned; nice view.
Prior to our arrival, area rugs & carpet were not vacuumed. Had to use owner's wet Swiffers to clean all the floors because we were barefoot and floors were grimy and sticky in one area. Kitchen cabs had food debris on ALL of them, Countertops & two table tops weren't cleaned; master bath sink, mirror, and powder toilet & its seat, and jacuzzi (long black hair) not cleaned. Finally got a vacuum from owner to clean house. Nice view, but you could hear semi-trucks constantly Jake braking 24/7.
What a beautiful home right above the Roaring Fork River. This home is very comfortable and well equipped. The view from the deck is absolutely stunning with the river and the red rock mountain across the way. Close to the Rio Grande Trail for bike riding and walking. Less than ten minutes to Glenwood Springs yet it feels more rural than that.
A great home base for visiting Hot Springs, dining, Vail, bike trails, etc. Host was wonderful. Living areas were very clean. Bed and shower were heavenly. Great dining and activity recommendations in the "binder".
2nd stay and really nice property and space. Great for Glenwood springs - Carbondale or into Aspen trip starting location.
Very comfortable and relaxing on the river.
We absolutely loved our stay at the Modern Mountain Home in Glenwood Springs. The hosts have thought of everything to make your stay as wonderful as possible. Highly recommend. It is definitely a home away from home.
My new wife and I stayed here for our honeymoon and overall we were beyond satisfied and this places exceeded our expectations. Our only issue is that we like staying at places with hot tubs. This place advertised that the jetted tub in the bathroom was both a hot tub and that it fit two people (after I asked where the hot tub was, because I didn't see pics of the hot tub). It did NOT fit two people...just sayin'. That being said i really feel I'm nit picking because this place had everything and then some. The really thought of everything and then some!
READ THE BINDER, AND GO TO THE PLACES THEY RECOMMEND....THEY DID NOT DISAPPOINT AT ALL. I haven't ate that good in a very VERY long time!!!
Christine (the owner), change the listing to exclude the hot tub, and you will earn a 10 star in my book! p.s. it took EVERYTHING in my not to open the dog door and give your puppies free range of the house. I LOVED your puppies, they are so sweet and loving. The were the cherry on top of the sprinkles, on top of the hot fudge, on top of my favorite ice cream. Those pups made it feel like home. I hope you will let us come back for our anniversary.
The house was very beautiful!! Safe neighborhood and only 5min to town. The owners were very friendly and communicated very well. I would recommend this stay for sure!!!
When we arrived we were amazed at how beautiful the home/property was. The owners had candles lit everywhere and relaxing music. I really felt like I arrived at a nice spa. Everything was clean and cozy. The owners were super sweet and communicative. Honestly, I felt like I was visiting family. The property had beautiful views of the mountains and wasn't far at all from the Hot Springs. I absolutely would recommend this property to anyone thinking of visiting Glenwood Springs!
When we arrived, it was wonderful to walk in to relaxing music, scented candles, and fresh flowers. It made for a lovely start to our anniversary weekend. It was a good home base for us while we rode our bikes around Glenwood, and our host helped find the bike trail. We enjoyed relaxing on the deck in the evening, listening to the river and enjoying the view. Oh, and the jetted tub was great on tired muscles! An all around pleasant stay.
Beautiful home in a beautiful neighborhood. Back deck view is of red rock mountains. The main floor is the rental, the owners live downstairs in a separate living area. We didn't see them the whole time. The home was very clean and well stocked with everything you might need for a nice stay. You will have to drive to attractions, shopping, and restaurants. It is about 10 minutes to downtown Glenwood Springs. I would definitely recommend for a couple if you're looking for a nice, relaxing environment.
We stayed at this property a month and wish it could have been longer. The bed was so comfortable. We loved hanging out on the deck, and enjoyed all the activities around Glenwood Springs. We walked or hiked every day. Maroon Bells and Hanging Lake were exceptional, also the walks along Roaring Fork River.
Christine and Alex were always available, but never intrusive. We hope we can come back someday. Thank you for sharing your home!
My wife and I really enjoyed our working holiday in Glenwood Springs. The home was a perfect place to work from and have as a base to explore Glenwood Springs and surrounding areas. There was so much to do that it made it hard to work. The host was very responsive and helpful throughout our entire stay. They kept to themselves and we didn't even know they were there. We would definitely stay again!
This was an amazing spot. Home owners were very responsive. Actually checking in on us to make sure we didn’t need anything. This was a great little stop on our trip. The house was perfect. The tub was relaxing. Great find!
Nice quiet neighborhood. The house is nicely decorated and smelled wonderful. Bed was comfy, along with pretty much everything you need in the kitchen. Owner quickly responds to call or texts.

About the host
Hosted by Christine Zanjanipour
We moved to Glenwood Springs, Colorado from Dallas in 2019 because we feel in love with the rocky mountains and the Colorado lifestyle. We traded the hustle and bustle of city life, shopping malls, high rises and traffic for rivers, bike paths, mountains and wild life. We have two sons, one in college at CU Boulder and the other enlisted in the Navy. We are newly "empty nesters." and getting familiar with this new found freedom and extra time we seem to have. We ski, snowboard, hike, bike, paddleboard, kayak, cross country ski,. We love to cook an especially love traveling to exotic places.
Why they chose this property
The first thing people say when they walk into our home is, "Wow!" The glass windows throughout our living room give view to the majestic, red mountains and river. The evenings on our back deck are spectacular viewing the zillions of stars in the pitch black sky. In the summer, we open the windows and get a nice breeze throughout the house. Our home is modern, spacious and sits on an acre. A bike/walking path can be accessed directly from our backyard and the Rio Grande Bike trail is less than a mile away. The Roaring Fork River runs through the back of our property and has world class trout fishing. Tons of local hiking trails are nearby too.
