I can't say enough about how great our Thanksgiving was in this and the neighboring home at Academy Place in Crested Butte! We had everything necessary to cook a traditional Thanksgiving dinner, tons of space to separate when we needed space or all be together when we wanted family time. Thank you, Crested Butte Property Management! We will be back soon!
