This beautifully-restored National Historic District home combines comfort, convenience and Victorian charm to provide you with the ideal lodging for your family or group. Located at the end of Elk Ave in the heart of Crested Butte, this house is a minute's walk to shopping, dining and the free shuttle bus that runs around town and up to Crested Butte Mountain. Once you have parked your car in the driveway it can stay parked throughout your vacation.

Imagine yourself returning to your vacation home after a day of winter skiing, snowmobiling or snow-shoeing and enjoying a relaxing hot bath in the Jacuzzi then sipping on a cup of hot coca by the fire. Imagine in the summer you have just enjoyed a hike in a field of wildflowers or a ride on an exiting trail on your mountain bike. You then return to your relaxing mountain retreat and take a revitalizing steam shower. Then imagine enjoying a pleasant dinner with friends and family on the outdoor patio or reading a book in the sunroom or on the front porch. Wow! What a vacation to remember.

What ever you do in our picturesque West Elk Mountains this home is the best choice for your not-so primitive base camp. Please take a moment to visit our web site to learn more about this unique vacation home, area activities, location map, nightly rates, and availability information.

                        We just returned after 3 nights at this property and were so happy with our stay. The house is much bigger than the photos suggest and there have been some cosmetic changes (new living room set etc) since that make it even nicer. Great outdoor area for dinners, easy parking. We had 7 girls in our group and there was tons of space (plus 3 people could shower at the same time which was key). The property owner is super easy to work with and accommodating and the location can't be beat. Overall, we were super happy!

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

                        This quiet, roomy retreat was a welcome surprise! We are quite familiar with the Crested Butte area having grown up in Colorado and visiting CB frequently. We've also owned land near Mt. Crested Butte for more than 8 years. We thought the location of this home would be noisy and not very private. Happily, we were very wrong! (We've stayed in several different in-town homes at various locations in CB that were very noisy and had very little privacy) Less than two short blocks from the main shopping, dining, and bars of the Town of Crested Butte, "End of Elk" is convenient and, even though the famous "Secret Stash" restaurant is across the street (also deliciously convenient), we enjoyed quiet visits in the ample grassy, fenced-in yard while cooking on the outdoor gas and charcoal grills. The home has a cozy corner gas fireplace in the open living/dining/kitchen area with a TV/DVD/VCR and a stereo receiver. There is also full size washer and dryer in the hallway leading to the upstairs. Down the hall from the kitchen is a bedroom with a double-bed. Then, next to that is a bathroom with shower. At the end of the hall, the uniquely designed master bedroom (the bedroom itself is four steps below the main floor level) boasts a jetted tub which separates the bedroom from the bathroom area. There is a wonderful steam shower and also heated towel rack. Off to the side of the master bedroom is a very comfortable roomy sitting area which provides a silent retreat for reading or meditation. Upstairs, there are two bedrooms with twin beds in each. Between the bedrooms is a full bathroom. This home was perfect for having friends stop by during the 4th of July parade and associated festivities of the holiday weekend. It's also the perfect in-town retreat for any season (the free shuttle bus to Mt. Crested Butte stops a block and-a-half away) and we would highly recommend it to anyone looking for comfortable, quiet, convenient accommodations in the Town of Crested Butte.

                        My husband, dog, and I always stay here when we visit Crested Butte. The clean, spacious home is right at the end of Elk Ave, the main street in historic CB, so you can walk up and down the street to all the wonderful restaurants and shops. Being at the end of the street also offers a bit of quiet and privacy. We love hiking or snowshoeing straight up the hill directly behind the house, where there is a path to a stellar view of the mountain and the town, and connecting to other trails. We love to cook, and the kitchen and living room (with WARM gas fireplace!) are adjoined, so you can still be together leisurely whether reading or cooking. There is plenty of room for a big family (many bedrooms), or intimacy for just a few. There's also a sweet little yard where you can grill or let the dog run around. Also, Mitch (the owner) is extremely kind and responsive. He is a long time CB resident and clearly takes great care of the house and the people who come to visit Crested Butte. We've come in fall and in winter, and it has been fantastic! Looking forward to a spring/summer visit.

                        Very comfortable house with all the amenities in a great location for a real "locals" feeling. We shared it with another family and had a great time. Hope to be able to return soon!"

                      Owner info

                      Year Purchased: 2003

                      About the owner: I have been remodeling buildings in Crested Butte with the goal of bringing modern comfort to historic charm since the late 70's. I am an EMT/Firefighter and a ski patrol. I have been a real estate broker since 1984. If you are looking for an experienced, independent realtor with a quarter century of living, working and playing in these West Elk Mountains to represent you honestly and diligently in your search for property; I'm here for you. Call My Cell 596-1048 “Any sign, Any time”

                      Why the Owner Chose Crested Butte:
                      22 Elk Avenue is the last house on left as you drive up Crested Butte National Historic Distrct's main Street. It is the ultimate neighborhood in this town. Close to restaurants, shopping and the free bus shuttle. You can ride your mountain bike or cross country ski out your door and access miles of epic trails without ever touching pavement. I have no proof but knowing the area and having been the Chair of the Gunnison County Historic Preservation Commission for ten years I am convinced that this is where native americans set up their camps for thousands of years and european settlers followed their example to put their main Street. The superior micro climate is noticeable from even blocks away as you are protected from windier storm paths. Today's vacationer can enjoy being in the core of town and at the edge of it at the same time.

                      The Unique Benefits at this House:
                      Crested Butte Mountasin Resort is one of the best ski mountains in the country. The extreme's are challenging and plentiful. The quality of slope grooming has risen to world class in recent years. The terrain parks and features (my son's winter habitat) are state of the art. Telemark skiing was reborn here in the 70's. I remember taking my old school lace up downhill ski boots down to the saddlemaker in Gunnison to have him sew on vibram soles that would fit into the three pin bindings on my long skinny tele skis. The equipment has come along way and some of the top Tele skiers in the world ski this mountain. Crested Butte was also the place where mountain biking started. I bought my first 15 speed mountain bike from a friend in 1980 it was built here in 1977 on a little john frame using motorcycle drum breaks. You could not walk into a store and buy a mountain bike at the time. I still use this bike as my townie today. The personality of the community is what makes this town, friendly, athletic, cutting edge and socially responsible.
