I don’t really like dealing with property managers as I feel it takes the intimacy out of the booking process but the place really was a perfect complement of the natural landscapes. You can feel the history. You are in someones backyard which is kind of off putting but overall an excellent choice for travelers.

We had a great weekend sking Aspen and loved staying at the Red Door. We were able to walk to great restaurants for dinner and then enjoyed a cozy night hanging out in the cabin. This is a perfect place for 2 people to enjoy a long weekend.

We loved the Red Door Hideout! The location is perfect. We enjoyed the close proximity to restaurants, hiking trails, and Nordic skiing. The space is super cute, cozy, and met all of our needs for a 2 night stay in Carbondale.

Lovely little hideout
Property is as advertised. Charming historic cabin within walking distance to shops and restaurants. Comfy bed and nice walk in shower. Fridge doesn’t have a freezer - so bring a cooler and ice . We loved not having to drive to get dinner. Highly recommend this property

Not a pet friendly experience
The cabin is a very beautiful and unique stay. That being said, we were excited to bring our dog to stay with us and were very upset when the owner texted us the day before our stay to let us know that they had just reseeded the backyard and we wouldn’t be able to use it at all (which is the main reason we paid more to book this specific property). The cabin is next to an alley in the downtown area and we had to walk blocks away to take our dog to the bathroom as there was no grass nearby. If we had a younger dog this wouldn’t be a big issue but our dog is a senior and scared of other dogs so the fenced yard was ideal. I have no issue with the owners doing what they needed to do to maintain the property. I was just disappointed that they waited to tell us until the day before our stay so there was literally nothing we could do about it unless we wanted to lose a $1000 deposit. The owner said the companies in the area book up quickly and this was the only time they had available to do the yard (which again, I understand) but if that’s the case, they probably knew well ahead of our stay and could’ve let us know sooner. Between the yard and not allowing dogs on the furniture (this is in the listing so it wasn’t a surprise), it just didn’t seem like a very dog friendly space. Also while it looks nice, the shower floor is very uncomfortable to stand on and there was no heat (it got down to <40 during the night). Heat’s only available Oct-May. We stayed in June. Wouldn’t book again

Hi Lorien, I'm saddened to read your review. We want to provide a beautiful, lush yard for our guests to use and that's why we needed to re-seed it, to thicken the grass up. The landscaping company told us, at the beginning of spring that it would be sometime in June. They unfortunately let us know the morning of, that they were coming that day. It was a one-day job and it unfortunately landed the day before you checked in leaving us no time to warn you any sooner. We gave you all the notice we could at 8:18 am after they called us. I'm sad to read your review for something that is out of our control and for trying to better the property for our guests. I also wanted to mention that it's inaccurate to say there's no heat in the home from June-Sept. Its baseboard heat and is regulated by the thermostat on the wall. If you were having issues turning it on or getting it to work you should've reached out to us and let us know so we could've helped you, we're available 24/7 to help our guests. I hope you understand sometimes things and timing are out of our control and hope you stay with us again!

Amazing Place
The Red Door Hideout is nestled in the heart of Carbondale. It is a perfect location - to walk around town to check out the shops, eat in the best restaurants in CO, or head outside for some adventures. The house itself is spacious, clean, updated, and honestly - perfect for a weekend or a week. Everything is great about this spot.

Cute Cabin
They cabin is adorable! It’s very Carbondaleesque. I don’t know of anyplace else that it is NOT considered sketchy to go down an alley to a fenced door and find a cabin! I was conveniently placed in town. We loved the atmosphere and especially enjoyed the company of the chickens!! There were a few cons though. The porch lite was out.and made it very difficult to navigate getting in the gate to the front door hand trying to get it open. There were solar path lights, but they were very dim and hard to navigate getting in with the gate door opening in and the steps. The inside was quaint and comfortable. Really had that cabin vibe. The hanging light didn’t work so the living room was a bit dark unless you turned on the ceiling lights that were very bright and had miss matched bulbs of warm and bright white.made it awkward. Some outlets didn’t work, but that’s a cabin. A night light would be suggested and better quality toilet paper! Lol. We would have bought our own, but I was concerned they may have had a septic system. Our biggest issue was the massive cobwebs and bugs in them. The window above the door is gross! There’s also cob webs in the rafters. Why am I getting changed a for professional cleaning fee? It also would have been nice to know about the elm seed bugs prior to booking and not after we checked in!! It was cute and an interesting story. The host was very pleasant. We still had a great time, it just lacked the love and special touches that the other places had.

Comfortable, charming, cozy little house with its' own private entrance and very conveniently located in downtown Carbondale. Brittany and family are very friendly and helpful when needed but gave us the privacy we looked forward to. The history of the house appealed to us and the interior was so comfortable and attractive. It had everything we needed. We would definitely recommend the Red Door Hideout and may very well return ourselves.

All the check in instructions were very good. The cabin is nicely appointed. There was no bureau to put clothing. I would suggest a ceiling fan in the bedroom. Some nights it did not cool down enough. It is very convenient and easy to walk.

A cute cabin near the center of town
We enjoyed our stay at the Red Door Hideout. It is cute as can be. The location was ideal, centrally located. within a block of several restaurants. The owners are delightful and helpful. Note that the cabin is in the back yard of the owner’s house, who have a young family. I would have appreciated black out blinds in the bedroom, and some way of making ice. The cabin is on the alley, and we heard some dumpster noise.
