You'll have the entire home to yourself and will only share it with other guests in your party.

Private Abode on Beautiful Acreage with EV charging available

After turning off 4 mile and driving over the creek, you will arrive at The Bear's Den nestled against the hillside and will enter a spacious open floor plan of a comfortable family room and fully stocked kitchen. There is a private patio to sit and unwind, share meals, and enjoy the quiet and birdsong. There is a gas grill on the patio for your use.

The bedroom boasts a king sized bed, and the bathroom includes a newly remodeled walk in shower with a large glass door.

There is a daybed off the family room to accommodate 2 additional guests in 2 twin size beds. The bathroom is accessible from both the family room and the bedroom.

The Bear's Den 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. The Bear's Den is uniquely located between Glenwood Springs and Sunlight Mountain Resort- each one about 5 miles away on Four Mile Road.
The Bear's Den is great for couples but can accommodate up to 4 guests.

Please note that the driveway serves 3 other residences, spread out on more than 10 acres (plus 10 acres of mountainside). The nearest house is 40 yards away. The Bear's Den sits on top of a garage, which is simply used for storage (not cars). We live in the next house over, and we have great relationships with each of 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 as well as neighbors (but you will usually have the space to yourself). There is no fishing at the creek (but there are several rivers in the area that 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 which meanders through open ranch land and sagebrush. You can access Carbondale if you keep driving, 11 miles total. 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 minimal compared to the 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. However, inappropriate cars can and do get stuck as elevation changes exist on the driveway as well as the possibility of slick ice and deep snow. Stuck cars do cause problems as the driveway services three separate properties. You are required to provide information about the cars that will be driven during the winter. Guests that become stuck are responsible for all associated costs.***


Glenwood Springs is truly a wonderful vacation spot with all its available activities. We are close to alpine & crosscountry skiing, hiking, snowshoeing, biking, rafting, fishing, shopping, or just soaking in the world famous hot springs... you’ll never run out of things to do! We are a pet friendly property and welcome both short and long terms stays.

The only place I’ll stay in Glenwood Springs
I have stayed at this property before in their Casa del Sol unit. I loved that unit, but I loved the Bear’s Den even more! It’s a beautiful remote location, but not far from town and the Hot Springs. It’s so peaceful and quiet. The unit is well equipped, And the heated tile floors are a very nice touch that had me spoiled by the time I left. I’ll definitely be staying here every time I come to Glenwood Springs. Highly recommended!

Perfect getaway!
My hubby and I stayed here for our 20th anniversary. What a rare find! It’s a beautiful and cozy spot far enough from town that allowed privacy and relaxation, yet less than a 15 minute drive to all the shops and restaurants. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay and hope to visit again!

If you're looking for a clean, reasonable place to stay, this could be it. It's a short drive to town, but in a peaceful location. It has everything you need, and the owner is quick to respond to questions. We recommend.

Quiet & clean, with an awesome shower
Stayed here with my two sisters the first weekend in June. The house was exactly as described. The kitchen was well-stocked with implements. Beds were comfortable. The shower was beautiful, with awesome pressure and plenty of hot water. Location was a few minutes outside of town, but we were looking for a quiet retreat. The host was prompt answering questions. Our Verizon phones had no service, but we were able to connect to WiFi, so texting was no problem. Would recommend this place to others, especially if you want to ski at Sunlight Mountain which is 5 miles away.

Cozy and Inviting
We came here for Thanksgiving weekend as a quick retreat and found the place warm and inviting. Unfortunately our toddler had a fever one day and we had to stay indoors but this is not a bad place to be stuck in! We just had a super lazy Saturday lounging in our pajamas and watching movies all day. There were some deer too which my son loved seeing. The location is great—close to what you need, far enough from the fray. Definitely will stay here again!

Great place
Fourth time’s the charm, I guess. We tried 3 times before to book a place with a kitchen, because I’m that 1 in a thousand people that loves to cook on vacation. This is the only place, so far, that I’ve loved. I should also mention the king sized bed. Not too hard, not too soft, with super great quality sheets, just like the ones I use at home, and perfect pillows. I thought I was at home. Great TV too. Lots of channels, big screen and nice comfortable furniture. Terrific, big washer and dryer, too. We come to Glenwood Springs every 6 months and we’re going to try to book this place every time from now on.
