About this property

Beautiful Timber Frame Home In Downtown. Great Location Just off Elk Ave!

BUSINESS LICENSE #001222
The First Street Guesthouse is a unique blend of old and new. Starting with an historic, log cabin that was part of Crested Butte's original Creamery, the home has been architecturally enhanced, with the main part completely new. During construction and renovation, the use of non-toxic, natural building components has earned the home many prestigious awards.

Located just steps from Elk Avenue, (Crested Butte's historic main street). The First Street Guesthouse sits tucked away in a quiet residential neighborhood. The downstairs opens onto a large entry area and three bedrooms, two with queen-size beds and access to exterior patios. The third bedroom has a twin/trundle bed. All boast cozy goosedown comforters. The large bathroom on this level offers a sumptuous, deep, Japanese, jetted, soak tub and oversize marble steam shower. Nearby is a handy washer and dryer.

The upper level, with it's breathtaking views of mountains in all directions, has a gourmet kitchen with soapstone counter tops and stainless appliances. It flows openly into an eating/gathering bar, dining and living areas, all surrounded by vaulted ceilings. Also on this level are a one-half bath and cozy den for a great work space.

Outside, there is a small yard for children and even a canine friend. Please note that the yard is NOT fenced in. Inside and out, the home is meticulously maintained and offers more than just a homey, comfortable vacation setting. Its owners, 15 year residents of Crested Butte, work hard to ensure its guests a most memorable stay.

Elk Avenue's shops and restaurants are close by. The town's free mountain bus shuttle is little more then a block away. Hiking and Nordic trails are even closer! Because of First Street Guesthouse's ideal location, a car is not required; everything is within easy walking distance, regardless of the season.

We will consider well trained dogs. Please ask us about our dog policy and fees.

We just added High Speed internet for your convenience.

Charm on 1st

We enjoyed our stay at the 1st street Guesthouse. The kitchen was well stocked and we were able to pick up a few groceries and cook daily breakfast. This location is perfect for a morning “Woods walk”. Thank you for sharing this space…

Spring break ski trip

The property manager was so easy to communicate with, helpful, and flexible. The location of the property was perfect with close proximity to town and ski lifts. My family had a great trip and would definitely recommend this home to any family wanting to stay in Crested Butte!

Wonderful property!

This home was perfect for our trip to Crested Butte! Everything was clean and organized and the kitchen was great to cook in. The location was perfect for us to walk to shops and restaurants with young children. The farmer’s market was just steps away! Truly a perfect vacation rental!!

Beautiful house & location

We loved our stay. The house is so cozy and had everything we needed. (I especially loved the steam shower.) It's also the ideal location - quiet but very close to the bus and all the great restaurants and bars. The only caveat is that the floors aren't insultated so sound carries between downstairs and upstairs. It wasn't an issue for our toddler but we were very mindful after bedtime.

Fantastic location!

Great location on a quiet street just off Elk. We were able to hike right from the house to the woods walk, which was amazing. And we were also able to walk to Camp 4, Bonez, Stash within about 5 minutes. The house was spotless when we arrived. The courtyard isn't fenced in any longer, but we parked our cars so that it was still a private space that would essentially contain the pups. Also a note, the futon is no longer in the upstairs den, there are two wing back chairs. Would highly recommend!

Great location in downtown CB

This CB cottage is in a great location, around the corner from Elk Street but private and quiet enough. There is easy parking for one car and a second could have worked. The house is stocked with plenty of nice sheets and towels. The kitchen is large and well stocked and the owner is quick and thorough with communication. The house is CB cozy versus fancy. The upstairs living/dining/kitchen is well lit, spacious and comfortable. The three lower bedrooms are comfortable. They share the one full bathroom which has a shower plus quirky bathtub. We brought out dogs, naively planning for them to spend some time in the fenced yard. In the winter, the yard is inaccessible because it is full of snow. It would be great in the summer.

Fabulous house in the center of Crested Butte

This is a beautiful old house that has been renovated. The kitchen is really well stocked and the upstairs provides a great space for the family to get together. Not a good property for small children (steep stairs--although they do have a child gate). We had a fabulous time.

Wonderful stay!

My husband and I stayed here for a week before Christmas. The location is excellent - we were steps away from the shops, restaurants and x-country ski trails. The home is so warm, quiet and well-appointed - especially the kitchen. I really cannot think of anything more that the host could have provided to make our trip more pleasant. We had a wonderful stay!

Great location in Crested Butte

You can't ask for a better location in Crested Butte. The property is located at the end of Elk Avenue, the main street in town. It's easy walking distance to all the shops, restaurants, town park and hiking trails. If you want to stay in town, I would highly recommend this property.

Covid Escape

Unique property that sits right in the heart of Crested Butte! We spent a week before New Years skiing and enjoying everything that Crested Butte has to offer; this property was the perfect place to do that! We've been to Crested Butte many times but never stayed in town and the 3 bedrooms offer plenty of space to accomodate a family of 4 with adult children and our doggo. The rooms are well apportioned, good beds and the updstairs / downstairs layout lets you enjoy each other's company but escape if you need some alone time. With that siad, this place is best for being together! The kitchen is fully appointed and has everything you need to make spectacular meals, even down to the seasoned 12 inch cast iron skillet to fry up bacon and scrambled eggs every morning. When we didn't want to cook, we were able to walk to pick-up food with plenty of excellent choices within a 4 minute walk. We didn't experience any street noise as it's at the top end of Elk Avenue far away from the busier area of the street and there was minimal street traffic; we were there during peak season so I expect its the same way the rest of the year. It's a short drive to the mountain (7 minutes) or you can take the local bus with a stop close by. If you want to cross country ski, the Nordic Center is less than 1 minute away and trail head / parking for the miles of cross country trails is 3 minutes away. It's a great place to create memories!

Nice house in quiet part of town

The house was perfect for our family of 4. We each had a bedroom and rarely showered at the same time so only having one full bath was not much of an issue. The kitchen was well supplied so we could cook meals at the house. We loved being right off of Elk Ave but on the quiet end so there was not a lot of noise at night. I will say the only negative is having the bedrooms below the living area. If you go to bed while people are still upstairs you can hear every move they make and word they say. A sound machine helped. Overall it's a nice house in a superb location!
