About this property

Ski History End Unit- Sleeps 2- entire unit with 2 decks

In winter only,Free bus stops at driveway every half hour and goes to base. The base area is a 10 minute walk year round. This beautiful one bedroom, one bathroom END UNIT is set up for 2 with queen bed. It has everything you need for a wonderful vacation all year round including wifi.. The master bedroom is decorated in antique prints of glaciers, has vaulted ceilings, queen size bed with high-end pillow-top mattress and down comforter with duvet cover. In summer there is light weight bedding. Unit Has its own deck with views of The Elk Mountains and Red Lady Mountain. MOUNT CRESTED BUTTE. We are NOT close to Aspen or Glenwood or Gunnison. Please Look at MAP- thanks. Grab a glass of wine or beer and watch the sun set from this west facing deck. The bathroom has large tub with shower and slate tile floor. The full kitchen has granite counters, wood floors and many amenities. There is a covered deck with gas grill (cannot use in winter unless it is warmer out) and summer furniture off of the kitchen area.
This kitchen has pots, pans, drip coffee maker and coffee, toaster, full oven/stove, large refrigerator, basic spices, crock pot, blender and much more. Ask if you want something specific. The kitchen deck faces East to Mt. Crested Butte Mountain, so enjoy that cup of coffee 1st thing while enjoying the view. The living room/kitchen is decorated in original art with ski racers from the 60's and 70's and a salute to Jean Claude Killy, Billy Kidd and Nancy Greene..

The WINTER shuttle will also take you to the Mt CB Town Center where you can catch busses every 15 minutes that go into town where you will find great restaurants, shopping, theater and lots more. The free loop shuttle runs from Thanksgiving to last day of skiing in winter(not any other time), but it is a quick 4 minute walk to the bus stop in Pitchfork in summer. I regularly walk to the base area and it is about 10 minutes but maybe longer for some.
You just drive up, unload your gear, and you are ready to relax. There is 1 (one) parking space for this unit in front of house. As you may already know, Crested Butte is located in a remote valley high in the Rocky Mountains. We have stunning mountain views from every direction. We are a vacation destination.
Also, the incredible mountain biking, fishing, hiking and wonderful festivals makes us a great year round vacation spot for people of all ages. Last minute bookings are less if we have availability. ABSOLUTELY NO PETS on the property due to owner's ALLERGIES- (please don't ask for an exception) thanks and NO DIRT BIKES or ATV's or trailers. Alpenglow free music is “on” for every summer as well as Mt CB music. Ask me for links to the music events.
We will negotiate for longer rental periods; there is a laundromat in town. / Perfect for a couple or singles. This is a great condo, on bus shuttle in winter, easy walk to skiing. Crested Butte is a biking paradise, close to fly fishing and has great views. The unit has art work and skis all related to ski racing with rare posters that you will probably not even see in a museum. There is a first floor unit also available to rent that has kitchenette; just ask for my other vrbo #. Lots of famous skiers have been here and signed skis and posters. Truly a one-of-a-kind gallery! . If you need a chef, we have a list. If you have never skied here, ask questions (we ski)We have lived here for 30 years. Check in is 4:00 and check out is 10:00. If you need early ck in, ask at time of booking. No late checkouts unless approved at time of booking.
Lots of space for your bikes, but not any locked area. Do NOT take bikes inside unit - you can put bikes behind house or leave locked on your vehicle. This is a non smoking property which includes marijuana and vaping. It takes a lot of effort to get smoking smells out of unit and you will be reported to VRBO. Thank you for choosing a different property if you need to smoke. MtCB STR 305568 For emergency contact/Local lRepresentative contact information, go to the Town of Mt.

Kathy was a great host and the condo was the perfect location for my ski trip. It's a short walk to the West Wall lift or you can take a shuttle the picks you in the driveway. The best part was all the amazing ski memorabilia - antique skis, boots, photos, etc. had me mesmerized throughout my stay. The bed was very comfortable and the jacuzzi tub was so nice to soak in after a long day of skiing. Kathy was great with communication and even went above-and-beyond by shipping me an item I had accidentally left at the condo. I would highly recommend this condo if you're looking for someplace to stay on your vacation.

Perfect stay.

We really enjoyed our stay here. Read the list of amenities and if it isn’t listed then just bring it like we did. If you forget something let Kathy know. We realized we forgot something during our drive and messaged her and it was in the home before we arrived. Great location for summer hiking and close to CB. Would definitely stay here again.

The hosts went out of there way to make sure I had everything I needed. I have stayed in a lot of similar small apartments here in the USA and in Europe and this was amongst the best. Great location for hiking in the Summer.

About the host

Hosted by P Hooge

Host profile image
My husband and I have lived here for 31 years. We both Alpine and Nordic ski in the winter and do small hikes in the summer. Paul graduated from The Ohio State University with undergraduate degrees in history and anthropology and a PhD in art education. He also played varsity hockey there. Kathy graduated with a degree from Ohio State in education and business. Ohio was a great place to raise our children but we loved the mountains and chose Crested Butte for its diversity for year round activities and no humidity, no bugs!

Why they chose this property

NOTE: Using CDC recommending cleaning and disinfecting standards. We live in the house and you are renting the caretaker unit.
`Unit is so close to the lift that you can almost ski to the door (when there is snow) and the walk is about 7 minutes up to the West Wall Quad Lift. The free shuttle stops right at our drive way in the winter every 1/2 hour and it is a 5 minute walk to the bus stop in the summer. It is relaxing in the summer as Castle Road is a dead-end street and the wildflowers are stunningly beautiful. We are close to many of the bike and hiking trails in the summer. Our decks are 'second to none'. Everyone really enjoys the decks as the views are so incredible from here. We found the lot in 1993 and built the home. We wanted to be able to walk to lifts. *****Occasionally there is a renter in the downstairs separate unit and there could be some TV noise.

What makes this property unique

less than 7minute walk to Crested Butte Mountain lifts and close to bike trails. Bus is 5 minute walk in Summer and right at the driveway in winter. The unit is decorated in rare posters about skiing in the 1960's and 70's and the bedroom has a display about climbing and glaciers. This is a one-of-a-kind ski history unit! We chose this lot because we could ski to our door. Now there are more buildings, but we can walk to the lifts. Great for .adults and older children. NO pets or smoking allowed due to our allergies and we clean our own unit. We follow CDC guidelines for cleaning and disinfecting .
