Our award winning Rosy Finch house is set among glorious mature Cottonwood trees that many birds call home. We believe that we have the best location in town. We are 2 blocks from the trendy shops and world class restaurants of Elk Avenue.We are literally steps away from the free shuttle bus that runs every 15 minutes between Crested Butte and the Ski Area. I Likewise if you are Nordic skiers we are 2 blocks from the Nordic Center, ice rink and sledding hill. For summer fun we are equally well situated being 2 blocks from the Center for the Arts, Town park and ball fields. Everything in the town of Crested Butte is within a few blocks, grocery and movie theater as well.

The other two bedrooms share a bathroom, one has a queen bed and the other has bunk beds.
The upstairs has a bed/den with trundle beds that closes off to the rest of the upstairs. The living area is upstairs to take advantage of our amazing views through our 28 windows. Upstairs as well is our beautifully appointed kitchen,a dream to cook in. We have calphalon cookware, new dishes, every imaginable appliance and because we spend a great deal of time in the house you will always find a well stocked pantry to share with you.
The washer and dryer are in the basement. Here too you will find the jogging stroller, pac-n- play and high chair. For outdoor fun we also have sleds, bikes, and a radio flyer wagon

Previous guests have all enjoyed the comfort and beauty of our home. Step out on the balcony and enjoy Mt. Emmons to the west, the Elk Mountains to the north and Mt. Crested Butte to the east.
Our front and back yards add another fabulous dimension to our house. Set in the trees you can enjoy a grassy lawn and beautiful new deck
in the back yard. Here is where you can relax in the hammock, grill some great meals and sit out and eat in a most spectacular setting. The entire

Why the Owner Chose Crested Butte
Our house is so much more than a vacation rental. It is a HOME and you know it when you are here. I have been fortunate to live in one of the most beautiful places on earth. I have lived here because it offers an environment and lifestyle that is extraordinary. The recreational opportunities are extensive and the town is one of the greatest in the United States.
The Unique Benefits at this House
We have a newly built, custom designed single family home. It is comfortable, impeccably clean, and well appointed. The location is the best in the Butte and the yard and trees make for a superb outdoor experience. The Rosy Finch House is so much more than a vacation rental, it is you chance to experience "living" in Crested Butte Colorado the "Last great ski town."
Owner's Map of Crested Butte
I first came to Crested Butte in 1974, and fell in love with the town, the amazing natural environment and this very special community. For over 32 years I have lived here, raised my children here and called Crested Butte home. Until recently I owned the local toy store and spent several years as our towns mayor. This past September Jim and I were married and many things are changing. Having 9 grandchildren we wish to leave the Butte more frequently to visit. Additionally we are avid birders who find great joy traveling and seeing the birds of the world. Thus came the Rosy Finch House, our home that we share with you.
