About this property

"Wild Iris" Historic Home in downtown CB, Dog Friendly!

Summary:
3 Bedroom, 2 full bath historic home with a perfect location in the heart of Crested Butte. Pet friendly!

The Space:
This historic 1800s mining cabin is perfectly situated right in the heart of Crested Butte, just one block from restaurants, shopping and the free shuttle to the ski area. It's an inviting log cabin, with lots of character and good sunlight. Hiking and biking trails are steps away. This home has three bedrooms, two full baths (one with Jacuzzi tub). This cozy, comfortable home offers the perfect place for friends and family to gather.

The sunny kitchen has granite counter-tops, a gas cook-top, microwave, and dishwasher. The kitchen flows into a cozy living room with vaulted ceiling, maple floors, and gas log fireplace. French doors open to a south-facing deck, fenced yard, and a fantastic wildflower garden... with great town and mountain views.

The log addition includes two charming rustic main floor bedrooms, a full bath, and a large mudroom with washer and dryer. The mudroom is great place for all your skis or bikes. Upstairs is a large primary bedroom with vaulted ceiling, queen-size bed, ensuite full bath, oak floors, and spectacular views of Mount Crested Butte.

The home is furnished with fresh linens and bedding. There are goose down comforters on all the beds. The kitchen is fully-equipped for food preparation and dining. The living area has cable TV/DVD and stereo and broadband Internet access. The small yard is fenced (not high!), perfect for your canine friends. Everything in town is within easy walking distance. You can park your car because everything including hiking, biking, shopping, Nordic skiing, and the coffee shop are just steps away.
One well behaved dog is permited for an additional $100 pet fee. Please note whether you are traveling with a dog or not at the time of booking.
The 3 bedrooms are set up as follows:

Master bedroom ensuite with bath, encompasses the entire upstairs: Queen bed
1st Bedroom (The Fish Room): Queen bed
2nd Bedroom (Cowboys and Indians Room): two twin beds
1st and 2nd bedrooms share a bath across the hall.

The couch does NOT pull out, so we ask our guests to limit their group to only 6 people for their comfort. We do have a portable crib and stair fences for infants.

Christmas in CB

Our family enjoyed a lovely stay at the Wild Iris for Christmas. The cabin was quaint and cozy and made for a memorable winter visit to Crested Butte. Communication with management was fast and friendly and the home was well appointed and very convenient to Elk Avenue, Clark’s and many other restaurants, etc… Thank you for your hospitality!

Perfect location, charming hone

We selected this property because it is close to all downtown galleries and restaurants, but we were delighted by the property itself. Each friend had our own bedroom, the kitchen was great for breakfast before morning hikes. The bathrooms were large and had tubs as well as showers. We enjoyed wine on the deck before dinner every evening. This property exceeded our expectations.

The Wild Iris was such a cool place to stay right in town. The location was perfect for walking downtown to shop and/or dine out. The house was a blend of historic and modern and very comfortable for our entire family.

Perfect pet-friendly, family property in the heart of downtown Crested Butte, CO.

Wild Iris could not have been more perfectly located as it was within easy walking distance from all the restaurants and shops on Elk Avenue. The home is well maintained and the flowers in the yard were abundant & lovely! The kitchen was well-stocked with everything we needed. The owners work nearby and checked on us throughout our stay to make sure we had everything we needed…they even left a gift on the porch for my birthday! No need to look anywhere else, Wild Iris is the BEST and we will definitely book it again!

Cozy surroundings and perfect location in town.

We thoroughly enjoyed walking our dog everyday in the neighborhood and walking along Elk St just 1 block away. The home was warm and sunny with efficient water pressure etc. Also, the mudroom entrance is super convenient.

Perfect home in perfect location

The property is perfectly located, a block from the free bus, a block from restaurants, and a block from Camp for Coffee (a wonderful little coffee shop). The home is very clean and the layout is terrific with a master bedroom and bath upstairs, and 2 bedrooms, an open kitchen, and living room downstairs. We loved the paintings and photographs from Africa , having just returned from Mt Kilimanjaro and a safari. The owner, local property manager, and cleaning crew were very responsive. We are looking forward to our next stay at this house!
