About this property
The Surf Shack, On shuttle route, EV charger
Summary:
Fantastic 3BD/2BA Pitchfork Townhome, close to shuttle. Parking for 2 vehicles. EV Charger
The Space:
This fun, cozy property is the perfect base for your Crested Butte adventures. Designed like a "Surf Shack" in the mountains, it combines laid-back charm with mountain convenience—ride your bike right out the door to nearby trails, or hop the shuttle to the base area for skiing and riding on Mt. Crested Butte in winter.
Built with upside-down living, the top floor holds the living, kitchen, and dining space to make the most of the views. The fully equipped kitchen opens into the living area so the cook stays part of the action, the dining nook comfortably seats 6, and the living room offers a large TV and gas fireplace for warming up after a day on the mountain.
The entry floor holds two bedrooms sharing a full bath with a tub/shower combo—one with a twin bunk bed, the other with a queen. Downstairs, the primary suite offers a king bed, a beautifully renovated bathroom with a shower, and the laundry area.
A 1-car garage provides parking and gear storage, plus an EV charging port, along with one additional driveway spot (2 total parking spaces). No additional or on-street parking is available in the Pitchfork neighborhood, and RVs/trailers of any kind are not permitted. For security, the owner maintains motion-triggered outdoor cameras at each exterior door, facing outward only.

Great place to stay on a mountain biking trip to CB. 1 min walk to the free bus to town. The house is very comfortable and clean. Kitchen has everything you need. Beds are comfortable. It’s our 4th time staying here - and we will be back.
My family of 4 had a wonderful stay at the Surf Shack. The house was comfortable very well stocked. The management company was friendly and easy to work with. We would definitely stay here again!

Great spot for our crested butte fun. Easy to get to town and resort - kids liked riding around this mini neighborhood on their bikes. The deck was great - views were nice too! Everything was exactly as described - fun vibe!

Glad to hear you enjoyed your stay! We hope to host you again in the future.
The house was in a great location so it was easy to drive anywhere but it was also a nice little morning walk to go get breakfast. The view from the back of the house is beautiful. The house was really clean and well taken care of! It was a great stay!
We stayed here for a ski weekend at crested Butte. Was super convenient to bus taking you to ski area and not far from the downtown area. Had all the things you could need for cooking and a nice steam shower downstairs. No problems with check-in. Would recommend!
Favtastic house - it has everything you need. Fully equipped - very comfortable. Perfect location with the free shuttle into CB every 20mins. This is the second time we’ve stayed here - and we will be back. Highly recommend.
We enjoyed our stay! The views from the top floor are of particular note: Crested Butte is to the east and other mountains are to the west, which means snowy mountains catch lovely colorful sun rays both early and late in the day. The other mentionable was the convenience of catching the shuttle (available 2x per hour) both to and from Crested Butte each day!
This was an absolute gem. The location was a 3 minute drive to the nearest lift. The house was super cool and very comfortable. Private garage and driveway so our skis were safe. 5 minutes to Crested Butte and all it has to offer. I would and will stay there again. Property management company was easy to get in touch with and incredibly cool people. Made the stay even better.
We absolutely loved the Surf Shack! Its location in the Pitchfork neighborhood is fantastic, giving easy access to both the town and the mountain. The living room/kitchen area (on the second floor) is beautifully appointed, has great light, a view of the mountain, and an excellent TV. Kitchen is well supplied (although stove pilot light was out and disposal wasn't working at time). Bedrooms are very nice, with master in the basement. There is also a nice grill and some outdoor seating for enjoying the fresh air. Shay was very responsive and helpful. Would love to stay here again!
The surf shack was awesome. Plenty of space. Beautiful views out front and back of property. Well appointed kitchen. Very comfortable beds with great sheets and blankets. Amazing steam shower in master. Perfectly relaxing neighborhood. Nice fire pit in yard - perfect for s’mores and catching up on days activities. Even very nice neighbors. Can’t say enough nice things because this is how you hope your Vrbo will be every time. Thank you for sharing your beautiful house with us. Also enjoyed great weather for lots of hiking and biking. Can’t wait to return!!

Great to hear your stay was so amazing! We are thrilled and hope to host you at the Surf Shack again.
The surf shack was a great place for our family to stay while visiting Crested Butte. I was a bit skeptical about finding a good place since we were visiting in the summer (rather than ski season), but this place exceeded our expectations. It was a convenient location both for activities in Crested Butte and the Almont area. It was very comfortable for my three kids (ages 9-12), hubs, and me. My daughter loved the cows that grazed out back! The kitchen was well equipped for making meals at the house, or reheating leftovers from eating out. We opened windows at night, since we are from Texas and not used to no AC (it was 105 at home while we enjoyed 70-80 degree days in Colorado). We are hoping to come back someday to ski, and we'll look at using this property again, if we can.
I stayed here with my son and a couple of his friends, so it was nice to have some space. I had the downstairs master en suite floor to myself and they had the first floor bedrooms and bathroom. The top level had an amazingly well appointed kitchen with everything you could ever hope for, and a comfy living area to hang out. If I could have given 6 stars for cleanliness I would have - it was spotless. We were on a ski trip so proximity to the shuttle was important to us, and it was a short, easy walk to catch the bus. The steam shower in the master bath was excellent and made up for not having a hot tub after a long day of skiing. The neighborhood we were in was so nice - very cute homes and friendly people, and the home was decorated super cute with a combo Hawaii/Colorado theme and very nice decor.
The only downside I can mention is that the master bed is right next to the mechanical room which sometimes makes noise when cycling through whatever heating/water system was working. It didn’t bother me too much once I got used to it, but if you’re a light sleeper it could be a challenge.
I highly recommend the Surf Shack and would stay here again if I had the chance!
Very well maintained and decorated home with incredible views out the back.

My crew and I went to Crested Butte from New York to perform a construction job. Everything went smoothly with our stay. I would highly recommend the "Surf Shack" to any visitor.
