Comfort and location. Our roomy log home on Sopris Avenue was built in the 1970s and later remodeled and expanded. It's in the heart of historic Crested Butte, providing a perfect place for one or more families any time of year.
With two dining areas and two separate living areas, the house has plenty of room for everyone to spread out and feel at home. But with all the room, it still has a cozy feel. We've furnished it for our own comfort and relaxation, knowing it will also work for our welcome guests.
You can relax by the wood stove or in the brand-new hot tub on Colorado winter evenings. Or when the weather is mild you can lounge outside on one of two sunny south-facing back decks (upper and lower) or on the unique front porch swing. We've found it to be an ideal vacation home in any season.
Skiers and hikers will find the front entry/storage room to be a convenient place to stow skis, boots, and equipment. It's fully heated in winter and has shelves for boots, hangers for skis, and plenty of room to store backpacks and hang coats and jackets.
The house is near Coal Creek and only a block from Elk Avenue (Crested Butte's main street), so it's literally just a short walk to most of Crested Butte's many great restaurants -- and to lots of shopping. At busy times of the year, you'd easily end up walking further if you drove and looked for a place to park. It's also just a block to the Old Town Hall bus stop where a free shuttle runs every 15 minutes to and from Mt. Crested Butte and the ski area. The town's nicest hotel (with spa/health club/lap pool) is just through our back yard and across the alley.
In addition to high-speed internet, there's a fax machine and printer available for your use; an upright piano to plunk away on; a star-gazing telescope; and interior furnishings that include some sturdy "period" items from the late 1800s when Crested Butte was established. Of course, there's a laundry room, too.
Obviously, we love the place and hope you will, too. Please feel free to call us with any questions.
