Crested Butte, Colorado is a beautiful mountain town, nestled in the towering Rocky Mountains, in the midst of a variety of wildflowers and Aspen trees as far as the eye can see... I think I’ve found one of my "beary" favorite places to visit!

This home is a fantastic combination of all the conveniences of home blended with all the luxuries of a fine hotel or lodge. Ideally suited for large families or groups, with 3 bedrooms on the main level and a private 1-bedroom apartment in the loft. This residence will give you a "home sweet home" feeling with beautiful hardwood floors, a warm mixture of decorations and furnishings and large windows viewing the Alpine Valley. Relax to the "max" in the large hot tub or curl up on the couch with your favorite "bearverage" and enjoy looking through one of the many picture books provided.

Mount Crested Butte, where the home is located, is a short 3 mile drive or bike ride away from the small town of Crested Butte. Here you will find friendly residence and visitors gathering on Elk Avenue, the main strip in town. Elk Avenue offers an assortment of shops and restaurants where you are sure to find something to fit your liking. A trip to Gunnison, about 30 miles away lead me to the Black Canyon where I hiked down to the river and walked the once, narrow gauge railroad line. With tickets bought ahead of time at the visitor’s center one can take a guided boat trip down the river and learn the history of the area. You can also enjoy great trout fishing here.

Whether you are here to bike the mountains, ski the slopes, attend the many art and music festivals, or just getaway... you are sure to enjoy this spectacular home in Mount Crested Butte, Colorado!

  Thanks for an amazing week in Crested Butte! Our group was from Walter Reed National Military Medical Center. Some wounded warriors were in wheelchairs and found the house to be easily accessible. It was great for all of us to have a common place to gather at the end of a great day on the mountain, dog sledding or ice climbing, to talk about the events of the day. Thanks for opening up this fantastic home and thanks to the Adaptive Sports Center for making it happen. Hope to be back soon!

  We have thoroughly enjoyed our time here. Our whole family met here from various homes in Oregon, Florida, Oklahoma, and Colorado. The views from your home are so wonderful, as I’m sure you know. We appreciated the well-stocked kitchen items. Thank you for sharing your home, we'd love to be here in the fall and see the aspens turning golden!

  We had the most wonderful time here in your beautiful home. The kids had to be dragged out of the hot tub! I can't tell you how glad we were to be able to bring our dogs who had the most fun running in all the empty lots. There were 10 of us and we never ran out of hot water... unbelievable!! We would love to be able to vacation here again!

  Thank you so much for opening your home to us. The house is very spacious and comfortable. We were so very comfortable! The views are breathtaking. Steve with Iron Horse did a wonderful job of making sure we were settled and comfortable. We will be sure to return to this wonderful place. Hope to come back in the summer. This will always be a special memory!

  WOW! what can I say other than this was no doubt one of the finest VRBO properties I have stayed in. My Alumni buddies from WSC in Gunnison and I finally pulled off a boys ski trip after 28 years. The house was fantastic, perfectly clean, stocked, and lots of room. Fantastic views from the multiple family room windows of Mt Crested Butte and the rest of the snow capped mountains. After skiing the tons of snow with no lift lines, we would finish off in the hot tub on the large deck as the perfect way to end a great day of skiing! A BIG thanks to Steve, the VRBO local contact who took great care of us with excellent customer service! No doubt we will be back! Thank you for making our trip everything we hoped it would be.

  Recommended for: Romantic getaway, tourists without a car, people with disabilities, age 55+, families with young children, sightseeing, adventure seekers, families with teenagers, girls getaway.

  This house was fully equipped with anything we needed throughout our stay. The people in charge of maintaining the property were extremely punctual in answering all of the questions we had while we were there. The house itself was great, it is designed expertly for larger groups of people (we went with three families) with a good amount a sitting room. It was extremely clean and decorated well and of course the views while sitting in a hot tub can't be beat! We just booked our second trip their and are so excited!

  Recommended for: Tourists without a car, families with young children, adventure seekers, families with teenagers.

  Owner response: Thank you so much! We love to see return guests and are glad your stay was a memorable one. IHPM
