Winter*Spring*Summer*Fall* Year round, this is the perfect mountain retreat! The wide open space and spectacular views from every room will make this a place you will want to return time and time again with all of your friends and family!
This spacious four bedroom, two story, sunny, end-unit condominium in highly desirable Ponderosa complex features two master suites and two decks overlooking exceptional, unobstructed views of Mt. Crested Butte and the surrounding mountains. It is an easy 300 yard walk to the slopes, restaurants and shopping around the base area and newly constructed Mountaineer Square. From here you can easily catch a ride on the Mountain Express, a free shuttle service that runs every 20 minutes to historic downtown Crested Butte where shopping and a variety of local restaurants abound.
Newly updated in Summer 2006, the fully stocked kitchen has granite counter tops, beautiful slate tile floors, all new furniture and appliances. The first floor has an open floor plan for the living room, dining room, and kitchen. Plus two bedrooms and a jack and jill bathroom that shares a common tub area. The spacious, approximately 2000 square foot interior features comfortable furniture for enjoying the moss rock hearth, wood-burning fireplace, and new TV and DVD. Wireless Internet (WiFi) is included with your rental and accessible with your portable device throughout the unit.
All of the art throughout the home reflects the natural beauty of the surrounding area and features the work of several celebrated local artists.
This unique, two story condominium comfortably sleeps eight. The two bedrooms downstairs have two twin beds each with new mattresses, cotton blankets, flannel sheets and colorful quilts. The very large master suites upstairs have King-size beds with new mattresses and roomy closets. One room features cable T.V. and a private covered deck for viewing the spectacular sunsets over the Red Lady. The two bedrooms upstairs share a spacious bathroom and includes a stacked washer and dryer for laundry.
Not to mention that Crested Butte is the place to be. Whether it be in winter for apres ski. After hitting world class terrain, knee deep in powder all day, walk back from the lifts, join your family in the new large hot tub for five to seven people overlooking the base area, while you fire up the gas grill on the patio. Okay. You prefer the warmer months of Spring and Summer. Bring your mountain bike, camel back, and a pack of friends to ride any one of the scenic trails directly from the complex door.
During the summer months, Crested Butte the "Wildflower Capital" is host to the Wildflower Festival in July as well as many athletic races ranging from Fat Tire Bike Week in June to the 1/3 Marathon from Gothic to downtown Crested Butte every 4th of July. Additionally, the Gunnison Valley is home to some of the best fly fishing around.
Or Fall. If you prefer the more laid back approach to experiencing the mountains, late September into early October is peak time to watch the Aspens glow. Year round, you will find a good balance between adventure and peace of mind in this quirky but enchanting mountain town.

Owner's Profile
Owner Description
Year Purchased: 1979
We are a family of five that used to live in Boulder, Colorado. I have been vacationing with my family in Crested Butte since I was 8 years old. I grew up skiing on Mt. Crested Butte and I remember when there were only 3 lifts up the mountain to include a gondola that went to the ever elusive base of the butte. I now come back with my family every summer to hike and bike and enjoy my beloved C.B.
Why the Owner Chose Crested Butte
We love Crested Butte because of the laid back feel of the place and its people. Its like the wild, wild west of ski resorts. No fur shops. No Cartier. No chains whatsoever. Its easy to get around this small town by bike or free public transportation. Great hikes abound. And its the best place to mountain bike in the entire state of Colorado!
The Unique Benefits of this Condominium
I love how spacious it is. It is peaceful and quiet. There are spectacular views. And I always feel like I have truly gotten away.
