About this property

Grandpa's Cabin welcomes the whole crew, sleeps 12!

Located in Meridian Lake subdivision, on the edge of miles of wilderness. Only three miles each to the historic town of Crested Butte and to the Mt.Crested Butte ski area.
Rustic for sure, but in a spectacular setting...the views from this property are breathtaking...in the midst of single track riding, (the Upper Loop, Long Lake, the Lupine trail, 403, the Lower Loop, 401) and amazing 4-wheel drive roads (Paradise Divide, Schofield Park, the Slate River Road.) Bicycle all trails from the cabin. Please note, razors or side by sides and dirt bikes are not allowed on subdivision roads, nor are trailers allowed in the subdivision. Drones are forbidden in the subdivision.
Basically furnished, nice linens. Fireplace, grill. Grandpa built the Cabin so everyone could come and enjoy hiking, biking, and skiing. There are three queen bedrooms on the main floor, the master with an en suite bathroom, and a second full bath in the hallway. The loft sleeps six, in five single beds and one full, with an additional full bath.

Wedding Time!

We picked this cabin to stay at for the week of our daughter's wedding. It was wonderful! Plenty of room to spread out and relax with family. Close to town for shopping & eating. Fishing, hiking, star gazing & the occasional wild life visitors made it fun.

Ski trip

What a great place! The beds were comfy. There were plenty of towels, plenty of kitchenware, lots of paper products! The fireplace was awesome - so nice to have a real wood burning fireplace! The only downside was the very steep steps to get up to the main floor and the heater didn’t work in the basement so we had to bring ski boots and such up those steps to dry! But, those were minor inconveniences to all the positives that we experienced!

Loved this house! It was located walking distance from Long Lake in a field of gold flowers. We got to see roaming deer daily. Cozy set up with plenty of room to cook and play games. Susan was very communicative and helpful. Would definitely stay here again.

Good vibes Great stay

The check-in process was very easy. Instructions were provided on the day of arrival. The host is very responsive, providing extra things to do around town. The cabin is spacious with a rustic charm. Having a garage to store all of the bikes in was an added bonus! Will definitely be staying here again. Thank you for a wonderful time!

They weren't kidding about the stairs

The cabin and views were great! If you have a loved one with mobility issues, just know the inside stairs are steep and narrow and probably not useable for them, but the outside stairs were better and manageable. The beds were comfortable and linens were soft. The hummingbirds provided entertainment throughout the day. Loved the quiet neighborhood and will definitely check the availability of this cabin first if we return to CB!

Nice cabin if you have a bunch of kids, not a bunch of adults.

Cabin fit the whole group as advertised and is in a nice location near Monarch/Long Lake. There is no bus service to town or ski area from this location, but hiking is within walking distance. The host was very nice and polite. The cabin is very well surface cleaned and bathroom and tubs were all clean. Years of dust and miscellaneous items exist under most furniture and on the loft floorboards due to lack of vacuuming harder to get areas. The view window on the main floor has a leak between window panes therefore is not clear. The wildflowers are pretty in bloom but are overgrown, so the basement floor steep steps are now basically the entry way, not the main floor.

Unbelievable Views, Incredible Location, Quintessential Mountain Home

My group & I had the pleasure of staying at grandpa's cabin during our annual fall trip to Crested Butte to mountain bike and enjoy the beautiful fall weather. We were so pumped on our decision to rent this home! The views are unreal, with massive windows giving you an unbelievable view of mountain crested butte. Great location, a short drive to the resort, town, or any backcountry adventures. The home had plenty of room to comfortable hold all 13 of us. The homeowners were super easy to get in touch with, and very accommodating! Truly one of the best homeaways I have done. Thank you so much for making our trip so memorable

Wintery wonderland

Stayed during a big winter storm. Wood burning fireplace was great, with a ton of wood available. Loft with many beds was nice for a family group. View is wonderful. Absolutely have to have 4wd or AWD in winter or getting back would have been impossible. Property manager was extremely responsive and helpful when unexpected issues arose. Listing is true- staircases very steep with open steps and shallow stair step- wouldn’t have stayed if mobility issues or if kids weren’t adequately supervised. Would ask them to make certain it is plowed regularly in winter, and far enough on driveway- we got stuck and needed towed because the plow had gone too far into the grass rather than the driveway for making a path- definitely would urge owners or property manager to put up poles before winter so plowing is appropriately done.

Great location and views

Grandpa's Cabin was described as "rustic" but "grimy" might bee a better word. The cabinets were sticky, junk filled every cabinet, drawer and closet and the stove barely worked. We even found nail clippings on the ottoman! We were misled about television. ..we were given instructions on how to operate it and the wifi password but there was no cable service...you had to use your own Netflix or Hulu subscriptions. But, the location and views were great, the beds comfy and the plumbing worked well. We think there may be a moth infestation...we must have killed 10 of them.
