About this property

Family Friendly - On Ten Acres 3 Miles to Town - Stunning Views and Country Feel

The tranquility, views and privacy of this home are well worth the very short drive or bike ride to town. The views during the day and at night are spectacular. The ski area is a ten minute drive. Lot of fun things to do there winter and summer.

This house has 3 bedrooms and 2 bathrooms. On the entry level you will find the two-car garage, available for guest use, two small bedrooms and a full bath. Move upstairs where the kitchen, living room, deck and master suite are located.

The open floor plan and vaulted ceilings upstairs lead to a large picture windows and French doors to the deck and unobstructed, incredible views of Mt. Whetstone and surrounding peaks. In the living room is also a gas fireplace that not only heats the room nicely in the winter, but provides the ambiance you are looking for in the mountains. The kitchen is well stocked with everything you need to prepare a full Thanksgiving feast...or just to reheat leftovers from one of our many local restaurants! The dining room table will seat up to six comfortably. Natural stone flooring can be found throughout the kitchen, dining area and master bath.

If you are looking for the true Rocky Mountain experience, look no further! You will find this to be your home away from home for your visit to the Crested Butte area.

Pets considered. I will need that part of Application completed. There is a Pet Fee of $95/pet/week or part thereof.

In the winter (November to April) I add a snow plowing fee of $100/week. Plowing of my driveway, which is nearly 100 yards, is about $50 each time. If there is no plowing done, or only once, I will refund your fee. If there is a lot of snow and plowing more than twice, I cover the excess plowing. Thus, you will never pay more than the $100/week. Wapiti Lane is routinely plowed and there is no charge. Remember: Snow is a good thing! This fee may not show up in your first quote - I need to manually add it for winter rentals.

Wonderful stay

Enjoyed the location, was just a quick few minutes to town. We were nicely surprised to find there was a garage that fit our large truck and it was heated too! The layout was great and had a wonderful view from the living room. Humidifiers in each bedroom were appreciated.

Beautiful place

We loved staying at this home. It was a perfect spot for visiting our kid at Western in Gunnison and enjoying the town of Crested Butte. The star gazing is phenomenal, the hosts answered questions promptly and generously, the kitchen had everything we needed, the beds were comfortable, and the view is amazing!

Perfect spring break getaway in CB

We had a blast! Super cozy, comfortable house with all the necessities in place and gorgeous views from every room. It was great having easy access to downtown Crested Butte and the ski resort without the headache of shared walls or cramped spaces. We'd absolutely stay again. :)

Clean comfy cozy

We had an amazing stay over the Christmas holiday. It was a perfect home for our family - 3 teenagers who loved there room, board games and video games at the house. I cook most dinners and breakfast during our stay and all utensils pots pans dishes etc were available. The views from the deck and living room are outstanding.

Everything was wonderful from the check-in process to when we left. Couldn't have had a better and more relaxing stay. The property manager was extremely helpful! We stayed in winter so the humidifiers were a big plus and made a huge difference. Property was very clean and well stocked! Would definitely stay here again:)

Crested Butte is stunning

Our family of 4 plus 2 dogs had an amazing time at this home. We had everything we needed, plenty of space to spread out. The views were absolutely incredible. I honestly can't think of any negatives, we had a great time exploring and everything was as described in the listing. Thanks so much for a great experience, hope to visit again soon!

Fantastic Mountain Getaway

Wonderful, secluded spot for a group to stay and play in the surrounding beauty. The kitchen was well stocked (even a few condiments in the fridge, which made cooking easier). The views of the mountains and stars are hard to beat. Wifi speed for me was 9Mbps down, 0.4Mbps up, but I was still able to handle several video calls for work while 8 was there.

Wonderful Property - Spectacular Views

This place was just wonderful - it had everything we needed, was extremely clean and comfortable, plus the views out of every window were amazingly spectacular. Because of its location just south of town it is quiet and serene, but it is also very easy to get downtown to all the great restaurants, nordic skiing and multi-use trails. The owner and his Crested Butte property manager were always promptly available when we had questions and they made checking in/out very easy. I would definitely stay here again.

For all of our years of skiing and renting this was truly one of our best experiences. The house was very well laid out, comfortable, clean with a well stocked kitchen etc... The location was so convenient only 5 minutes from town, restaurants, and shopping. We loved the outside deck with incredible views of the surrounding mountain range.

Beautiful Mountain Views

This is a great location. Convenient to town without all the traffic and noise. The views to the South and West are spectacular from the back porch. There was an issue with some indoor insect debris which is why I gave it a 4 on cleanliness, but it's summer in Colorado so keeping insects at bay is not an issue unique to this home. I'd be happy to come back here again.

About the host

Hosted by Skip

Host profile image
I am an Air Force Academy grad, retired Air Force JAG, and practice law in Colorado Springs. Originally from the east coast, I fell in love with Colorado and just can't leave. I was the designer and general contractor for this home. I am willing to share my home with you and trust you will treat it as your home. I believe you will find the feel of living on ten acres to be wonderful.

Why they chose this property

The peace, quiet and views of ten acres and convenience of being close to town and the ski area.

What makes this property unique

Ten acres!!! If you like noise and want to be around a lot of people all the time, rent in town or on the mountain.
