Sunflower House | Historic Gem Steps from Main St.

Welcome to the Sunflower House — a lovingly restored Carbondale original turned southwest-inspired haven in the heart of downtown. With 2 bedrooms, 1 bathroom, and space for up to 5 guests, this professionally designed home blends vintage warmth with modern ease. Enjoy memory foam beds, a sun-drenched sitting room, kid-friendly spaces, and lush gardens. Just steps from Main Street's cafés, shops, and trails — this gem is a walkable retreat rich in charm and comfort.

Tucked just off Main Street, the Sunflower House is a piece of Carbondale’s story — one of the town’s original homes, now thoughtfully reimagined into a southwest-style retreat with a designer’s touch. From the moment you step into the sunny entryway, this space feels personal and storied, filled with light, texture, and charm.

Inside, vintage details meet cozy modern comforts. A bay-windowed sitting room invites slow mornings with a cup of coffee or evenings gathered with friends. This space also transforms into a private sleeping nook with a queen pullout sofa and privacy curtains. The adjacent dining room offers room for all to gather, with French doors that open to a side patio wrapped in lush summer greenery.

The home features two bedrooms: a guest room with a queen lodgepole bed near the front, and a tranquil primary suite tucked at the back — complete with pitched ceilings, wood floors, A\C and a king-sized memory foam bed beneath three picture windows. Off the primary bedroom sits another patio adorned with string cafe lights, an outdoor dining set, and plenty of room to enjoy a Colorado sunset. The newly renovated bathroom includes a double vanity, tub/shower combo, and brand-new washer/dryer for added convenience.

Families will appreciate the dedicated playroom stocked with toys, while cooks will enjoy the updated kitchen with open wood shelving, ample storage, and all the essentials. Whether you’re dining al fresco, curled up on the leather couch for a movie night, or savoring the garden views from the porch, this home offers a peaceful rhythm in the heart of downtown.

Great location (as advertised)

Great location - downtown Carbondale. Cozy 2 bedroom apartment like home. Spacious enough and clean. Amenities were “bare minimum” and beds are quite firm/hard, but we had a nice stay.
