The property is nestled in a canyon next to the Roaring Fork River with amazing ponds and beautiful scenery. Beautifully decorated, it has all the amenities of home. It is small but perfect for a couple. We really enjoyed our stay and will definitely stay here again.

This is our third time staying at this wonderful spot. Alexandra and Stefan are the kindest of hosts, and the accommodations are inviting, comfortable, and classy. So much to do nearby -- cycling, hiking, fishing, day tripping to Redstone or Glenwood. Sitting in the hot tub looking out at the river is the best, most relaxing way to end the day. Plus, we saw the bear and one of her cubs! :) Thanks for another relaxing stay, Alexandra and Stefan, and we hope to see you again soon! C & M

Home Away From Home
We thoroughly enjoyed our month-long stay at A Bit Of Heaven! Relaxing at river level is so peaceful. The mama bear and cub sitings were a special treat, the 95 ducks were a welcome sight each morning and evening, and Sassy and Spanky were great hosts — just like their parents! We loved this location, which feels like it’s off the beaten path but it’s actually only minutes from town! We loved the access to the Rio Grande Trail, which provided great views of the Roaring Fork River and Mt Sopris. The home was well-appointed, the furniture was comfortable, the water pressure was strong and the hot water was hot!! Alexandra & Stefan are excellent hosts with an attention to detail, quick to respond, and very friendly, interesting and entertaining. We’ve been traveling to Colorado for several years, but this is the first time that we felt like we were “home”. Thank you Alexandra & Stefan for sharing your “bit of heaven” with us. We are looking forward to seeing you again in September 2025! Stay well and take care.

It Really Is A Bit of Heaven
Alexandra and Stefan were perfect hosts during our visit. Everything was perfect, from the beautiful location, to a fully stocked kitchen, comfortable bedroom/bathroom, views of the river, the ability to grill and have dinner near the river, relaxing in the hot tub, chairs along the river to relax. We couldn't ask for a more relaxing time and friendlier people to host our stay. And we loved having Sassy and Spanky visit us during our stay. They all made us feel right at home. This is a place we would defininately come stay again. Communicating and instructions with Alexandra was simple and as advertised. Thank you again for sharing your Bit of Heaven!

Bit of Heaven was heavenly!
The property was just as described. The owners have thought of everything. If you forgot something they have it here!! The Roaring Fork River out the back door is delightful. We spent afternoons lounging in a patio recliner relaxing listening to the river. Their 2 dogs are so fun to play with. The only thing that could have made our trip more fun would have been to see the mama bear and her 2 cubs as they wandered onto the property!!
