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.

Perfect location, beautiful house!

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 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.

Great property and location

Great house and the location can’t be beat. We just walked to the end of the street and were in the middle of town. Very comfortable home with everything that you could need. Communication with Charlie was very easy and he was very responsive. Would definitely stay there again. Thanks Charlie

Great time! Great place!

We have been to Crested Butte many times. Most of the time we stay up the mountiain with friends. But this time we were “on our own” so we decided to stay in town. We loved it! We loved being 1 block from Elk where all the restaurants and shops are. We were about 2 blocks from a grocery store which was also excellent. Oh and bikes were available for our usage...w a basket for carrying the groceries. The house was perfect for the 5 of us! Everything was clean and instructions on the internet, heating etc made it a great stay!

Couldn’t be happier!

I strongly suspect most guests stay for three to five days but we were in the house for a full month with my wife and me, and our son and his wife and our two granddaughters, ages five and eight. Although there were times when we wished for a better yard for the girls or the house seemed a bit tight, we made it work and were all on the same loving terms with one another that we were when the adventure began! June was a cold month and many of the hiking, biking and motorcycle trails remained closed all month, but we found plenty to keep us occupied and the girls attended camps at the RMBL in Gothic and Camp CB. My son and I brought our mountain bikes and did a decent amount of riding when some of the trails finally opened in mid-month. As for the house, it had everything one could ever need with ample plates, glasses and cooking utensils. The “master bedroom and bath” upstairs was roomy and comfortable but whether you’re there for 3 days or 30, some blackout shades or drapes would go a long way towards preventing a very bright sun from from ending your peaceful slumber around 5:30AM each morning. We loved the house, the convenience, and all of the accoutrements with which it came equipped. And the manner in which we were treated by the owner and his management company are a superb example of how the entire process can be personal and enjoyable rather than leaving a sour taste in one’s mouth as it so often does. I would be more than happy to do business with Charlie again and again!!! We sincerely hope they found it as clean and neat as we did our best to leave it after a long and delightful visit.

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 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!
