My family has stayed at a lot of VRBO properties - this one is the best. Awesome location just a few minutes to town by car, beautiful view, nice furniture, very comfortable beds and linens, and a SERIOUSLY stocked kitchen. This owners must use this house a lot because it has everything anyone could need.

This property is perfect for friends and family groups. It has a large, fully equipped kitchen, large living area, and a beautiful outside sitting area with a view of Crested Butte. We utilized every square inch, including the hot tub! The beds are all comfortable, and with the windows open, you will be perfectly comfortable in the summer. I love this location - it's quiet and still near enough to town to be convenient. If you have bikes, you can access the trail to town, and not even bother to park. This property seems to be highly sought after, so book ahead!

We had a fantastic stay and enjoyed the local hiking, mountain biking, and a few trips to town. Even in the middle of a Pandemic, we had a blast. Sometimes the best part of each day was coming back to such an amazing and relaxing house. We will be back.

From the beginning, the quality of the house, and furniture, bedding, etc was the best we have encountered in the many stays and trips we have done over the past 8 years. The grounds are excellent, and photography worthy. The owner is available to answer any questions, or help in any way.

Incredible Stay in December 2024

Couldn’t have imagined a better experience. House is beautiful and honestly looks even better than in the pictures! We were there in the heart of Winter and got 2 full days of snow! House was easy to find and incredibly well maintained. The host was incredibly responsive and the property manager was there each day it was necessary to shovel snow out of the driveway. The hot tub was also incredible!! We absolutely enjoyed our experience and made some great memories there. Family plans on headed back to stay at that house. Very close to town. Anyone who books will have the best time and have no regrets whatsoever!

Amazing!!

Our stay was absolutely perfect for our family of 5 (3 kids ages 3, 6 and 8). The layout of the house worked wonderful and we had more than enough room to spread out and enjoy. We loved the back patio that overlooked the lake and had a great view of the mountains. Our kids enjoyed the neighborhood and scootered around and enjoyed the cute playground. They also went fishing in the lake and walked around the path in the evenings. The location was great too and close to town and the mountain. It was the perfect trip and we will definitely be coming back to this house again!! Highly recommend. It’s better than we ever expected and was also very well stocked with everything you can imagine! The kitchen had plenty of everything and it was all well labeled and organized. Such a great home and very well done & comfortable!!

Spectacular !!!

This is the best vacation rental we have ever had, and we would love to come again. We all were amazed that someone would allow strangers to enjoy such a beautiful home. Everything was perfect, and here are only a few of the aspects that we enjoyed - a quiet location with a spectacular view within minutes of town. A spacious and thoughtfully decorated home. Great common areas both inside and out where we hung out and laughed and told stories, a kitchen with every possible pan and plenty of coffee cups and wine glasses. Debbie was super responsive. We loved browsing through the books on Crested Butte and cooking.

Crested Butte is lovely

The house is perfect for a large family. We appreciate having a master bedroom that is sound proof (almost) from the 4-7 year olds. Since we are bike riders the 3 miles into town via bike path is a perfect adventure. The property has added a outdoor table umbrella which allows one to use the west-facing patio in the evenings. Recycling has finally come to the area. The house needs to add this to their venue. We have returned for our third year.

Loved it!

We had a wonderful vacation and enjoyed every second at this beautiful, well-appointed mountain home. The owner has thought of every last detail for a comfortable, relaxing and easy stay (loved the digital guide, very handy). The kitchen is perfectly laid out and very well-stocked. We did not want for anything - it was all there and more! Gorgeous alpine gardens surround the property which overlooks a pond and offers long mountain views. We loved our morning walks around the pond with the grandkids and the private backyard hot tub was a hit for all ages. Pickleball courts and a playground down the street were an added bonus. Bring bikes if you can, as the ride into town is short and direct. Thank you Debbie -- we hope to be back next summer!

Everything you need to enjoy CB!

My family and I had an amazing week in CB at this gorgeous home! We enjoyed evenings cooking and eating together at the table (kitchen had everything we needed)! Our kids loved the hot tub and jumping in on the cooler evenings. They also went fishing right there at the lake and would run over to the swings just down the road almost every morning! While many of our longer hikes required a drive into the mountains (the Maroon Bells hike off Schofield pass was AMAZING), there are also excellent trails in walking distance from the house. We enjoyed Bruck Creek down the road. We also rented bikes for a few days and our kids loved riding into town and exploring the pump track by the school and grabbing lunch and ice cream downtown. Just a short bike ride into town. Lastly, the steam shower was such a treat! We highly recommend this wonderful property to any family or group and hope to be back soon!

We had such a wonderful time. The home is beautiful and comfortable. The house is equipped with everything you need. It is situated in a lovely neighborhood and backs up to a small lake. The location is perfect for relaxing and quiet but also a short 2 mile drive to the town of Crested Butte. We were there with our adult children to celebrate the holiday weekend. Everyone loved it. We enjoyed lots of family time on the beautiful patio surrounded by the mountains of Crested Butte. Idyllic vacation!

About the host

We are from the home of Muhammed Ali, the Kentucky Derby, and the University of Louisville Cardinals!

Why they chose this property

We fell in love with Crested Butte on our first visit! The community is so friendly and welcoming. There are so many activities to do all year round. With each changing season the beauty of nature changes as do the outdoor activities. We wanted to secure a part of this for our retirement years and decided to buy a piece of it so that when we reach that time in our lives we can enjoy Crested Butte full time. We hope you enjoy it too and want to return often.

What makes this property unique

When we walked in this home and saw the lake in the back with the reflection of the mountains and the surrounding views this home afforded us, we knew we had to have it!
