About this property
Private guesthouse on elk!
Private guest house, accessible through alley, yet still on the main drag in downtown CB. Cozy studio with all the amenities of a big house, but intimate enough for a couple's getaway. (IF LOOKING TO BOOK ANY HOLIDAYS, I HAVE MIN NIGHTS, SO PLEASE INQUIRE IF YOU GET BLOCKED.) Close to downtown & only 1.5 blocks to the bus stop @ the "4-way Stop.” Access to SHARED yard, as well as beach cruisers! 1/2 block to Rainbow park & walking distance to town. :) Business lic#7138

Absolutely awesome place to stay for a week long getaway. Convenient to everything in town and a cozy house that was just right for our needs. The property manager was fabulous with communication and making sure all our needs were met!

Thank you for the kind review! I'm actually one of very few owners that does not use a property management company so I can give more personal attention to my guests. I'm so happy you enjoyed your stay!
A great place…perfect for a couple. Close proximity to town, an easy walk to town, very quiet at night, take a bike ride on the city wetlands trail. Murphy bed very comfortable andcozy. Also, many great hiking/biking trails within a 10 minute drive. Sasa was very responsive to all requests for information! Will definitely stay again ifWe get back to the CB area!
Came into town for daughter’s College graduation. The Cloud Cottage was in a great location, very clean and we had such an enjoyable stay. Sasha was great to work with and allowed us to check in a little early. Plan on staying there the next time we get to visit our daughter.
Finding the place and checking in was a breeze.I was surprised at how quite the neighborhood was, no barking dogs, no kids screaming and no load cars or trucks waking you up early in the morning. We sleep with the windows open. Everything within walking distance.
Cottage has everything needed for 1-2 people in the beautiful Crested Butte area. Located between the old downtown area a large public park.Kitchen had necessities plus coffee and condiments.Host was available if needed and communication very good.No problem in recommending this cottage.
Good value, close to town and hiking trails. Only issue was the century link sub station next door noise all night long. Other then that it was good experience being in Crested Butte.

Sorry about the noise! Since you have left they have come to fix it and it is a lot better. They are also actively moving the unit from outside to inside their building! yay!
Overall awesome experience! Check in was easy. It was clean. Kitchen was well equipped. Murphy bed was surprisingly very comfortable. The location is excellent, a short walk to town. We had a great time and would book again next time we are in CB!
Love, love, loved this property. Perfect for two in ideal location in amazing Crested Butte. Comfortable bed and perfect accommodations and Sasa is the BEST to work with! Highly recommend this property!
Our backyard chalet was just as advertised.Clean, comfortable and cozy.Communication with our host was timely and accurate.We would not hesitate to stay again.
This property was perfect for a weekend getaway for me and my wife! We could walk to everywhere in Crested Butte. The place felt more spacious than I thought it would due to the Murphy bed and it had everything you needed in the small space (kitchen, laundry, etc). We already plan to go back next year and hope to stay here again.

About the host
Hosted by Sasa Watt
I'm a true local, having grown up in Crested Butte, moved away after high school and am finally back after 21 years! I've lived all over the US as well as overseas, but on July 4th, 2016 I moved back from LA where I was working as an accountant for TV and film. Now I run my new company, Jamie's Jerky, with my father, bringing the world the best Grass Fed Beef Jerky and Turkey Jerky. LA was my home for 7.5 years(never thought I'd say that) and I lived in a great house where I started my first Airbnb...I am really sad to have left that house, but it was time to move on. The last few years I hosted out of houses I was renting, but as of Oct 2018, I am finally a home owner in CB and can create a home I truly care about! I'm super chill and can't wait to share my new home in my old hometown with new people and new faces. Opening my house to new and returning guests brings a smile to my face... hoping you all can feel at home while on your vacation :)
Why they chose this property
It's a stand alone guest house that has all of the amenities you need while on vacation. Close to everything... and I mean everything.
What makes this property unique
This cottage house is in a quiet, family only, neighborhood with a private entrance off the alley. 1/2 block from Rainbow park, 1.75 blocks to the "4-way" bus stop to take you up the mountain for biking and snow-fun-times, and 1.75 blocks to the beginning of the main drag... Elk avenue. I have bikes you can use to cruise around town with, a huge backyard and BBQ (all are shared with main house.)
