About this property

Slate River Retreat, great location for your mountain getaway!

Big on views, coziness, and tranquility... that’s Slate River Retreat. Outside, there’s no shortage of recreational options, ranging from mild to wild! Off the beaten path in historic and adventure-filled Crested Butte, CO, this is a lovely 2 bedroom 2 bathroom condo located in the Skyland subdivision with the beautiful Slate River meandering through...all just 3 miles south of the wonderful restaurants and shops in downtown Crested Butte.

For summer visitors there is a plethora of activities. In this area, hiking, mountain biking, and wildflowers dominate the landscape and nowhere else in Colorado can match it, but there’s so much more! The fairways of the Robert Trent Jones designed golf course at the Club at Crested Butte is just 3 wood away. White water rafting on the Taylor River is less than 30 minutes away, and the valley also offers great fly fishing opportunities on three different rivers. Rent a paddleboard and float the Slate, or take one up to nearby Lake Irwin. Looking to simply stretch your legs and take in the fresh mountain air and non-stop, breath-taking vistas? The neighborhood is a great place for an afternoon walk, and it’s just a 20 minute stroll to Lake Grant.

Winter time is equally amazing. The ski resort at Mt. Crested Butte is just a 10 minute drive to the base area where the paid parking is very reasonable… plan to arrive early during holiday periods. You may also park FREE at the Visitor’s Center downtown and take the FREE shuttle (it runs every 15 minutes) to the Mt. Crested Butte ski area. (If you’re bringing your own skis, there’s a ski locker on the ground level, and a boot warmer in the unit!) Other winter activities include snow shoeing and cross country skiing, both available through the world-class Nordic Center in town, and next to door to the that is an ice-skating arena! Snowmobile guides and rentals are also very popular around Crested Butte. Or just sit back in the warmth of Slate River Retreat and take in the peaceful, white landscape from the large windows found throughout the unit.

Slate River Retreat is a quick 5-minute drive to historic downtown Crested Butte. You can also take a 5 minute walk from the unit to the free RTA bus on Hwy 135 that will get you to the town of Crested Butte or the ski area.

The master bedroom has a queen bed and the second bedroom has two twin beds. There is a very nice leather sleeper sofa with a memory foam mattress in the living area if you need one more sleeping space. The home has a Smart TV with streaming capabilities and is also equipped with a Bluetooth sound bar that you can use to enjoy your favorite music. The kitchen is well-equipped with all new dishes, drinkware, flatware, pots, pans, and cooking utensils.

The relaxing and peaceful atmosphere of this neighborhood, the comfort and coziness of the interior, and the amazing views....Slate River Retreat will make your trip to the mountains the perfect getaway!

Bedrooms as follows: [1] Queen, [2] 2 Twin Beds, [3] Queen sleeper sofa to sleep one more guest.

PARKING: There is one reserved parking space, with an additional space available.

We are sad to see this 2-star review on this lovely condo. We communicated with the guest and our cleaners about this. The cleaning issues have been addressed and resolved moving forward. We set out two personal-size tin Starbucks coffee cans for each arrival, so we think you may have missed them. We are also available 24/7 to resolve any issues, which we never heard from you. Please know if any issues arise we are here to fix them and make it the best experience possible for you. Thank you for taking the time to review.

Condo is fine the building is not

The building has seen better days...its pretty rough for the amount of money we paid for the condo. The smell as you walk into the building is awful. The carpets need to be cleaned, the walls painted etc. The condo itself is lovely. The view is quite pretty, and the kitchen is fully stocked. There is no AC in the bedrooms, so you need to leave the windows open. Unfortunately, you can hear the cars on the major road leading into CB. The porch is in desperate need of an umbrella as the afternoons are too warm to sit out in the full sun. Wonderful location for visiting CB and the surrounding area.

Response from VrboOwner on 19 Aug, 2024
Hi Brad, thank you for taking the time to review. I'm sorry to hear the building was a disappointment to you. Unfortunately, that is up to the HOA so there is not much we can do about it. We will pass this feedback off. As well as the feedback about the porch umbrella. We do not have AC anywhere in the Valley due to our mild temperatures, so everyone is aware. Opening a window/door at night typically cools the unit down plenty. We hope you had a wonderful time regardless and we would love to host you on your next visit to Crested Butte.

This VRBO "CRUSHED IT" in Crested Butte!

"Crushed it" is a term that our runner daughter uses often in regard to success while racing on the trails! Our little family "subgroup" of five couldn't have enjoyed ourselves more, or felt more at home! Perfect location for the hikers and runners in our group! When family members needed to head back from one of the many beautiful trails in the area, it was an easy drive back to this condo within minutes of these trailheads for pick-ups. Very clean! BEDS were amazing...even the pull-out sofa for our 11-year-old grandson! Lots of amenities. I will say to bring shampoo/conditioner as this owner just provides only one small set, and also bring your own body lotion, which was not provided. SOOOO nice to have laundry facilities, and the owner even provided the soap, which was unexpected! The plush bathrobes were a total surprise! Really nice touch! I would like to give this VRBO 5 stars. The only hesitation was a little miscommunication with the property manager. Thank you so much for sharing your cozy condo with our family! We would not hesitate to book again!
