Great experience

Property was as described and very clean. Wonderfully convenient location to Elk Ave and all things CB. Directly across from a Mountain Express stop, for super easy (and free) transportation to and from the mountain. Would gladly stay again!

Charming property ideally suited for a couple of located within walking distance to everything.

Our impression of the property was excellent. For a couple it was just right. The open floor plan makes maximum use of the space and an enjoyable stay. A little more room to hang clothes, etc. would have been nice as the only closet was filled with an assortment of the owner's possessions.

Our stay at Just Horsin' Around!

We had a lovely 9 day stay this summer. This was our first trip to Crested Butte, it was beautiful! The unit is super cute and cozy and met all of our needs. Everything is walkable from the location. Megan is easy to get a hold of to answer any questions and to correct any problems. We would highly recommend Just Horsin' Around! Thank you Megan!

Great cabin

The perfect cabin for 2. Everything is very comfortable and well laid out for a small cabin. The couch and bedding was very comfortable. Located just a short 2 block walk from Elk St. My only negative would be the loud kitchen exhaust fan from Slogar restaraunt which is located very close to the bedroom window. The fan usually operated until the kitchen closed. We did get accustomed to the noise, but this could be a problem for others. Overall a great clean, and well stocked cabin. We enjoyed our stay!

Cute but hairy

Cute little cabin ,nice lighting inside with tiny windows. So close during the snowstorm we could still get around. The previous guest had a dog that left so much hair ,even after a prompt reply from the management and cleaning ,was still a problem …the pillows that were pancakes and not great for sleeping. It was also hard to control the temperature in the room ? Confusing but could be user error???nice heated floors

CB Getaway

We absolutely loved our stay here. The location was ideal—just a short walk to downtown but tucked away enough to feel peaceful and private. Off-street parking was a huge plus. The home had everything we needed for a comfortable stay and was both cute and stylishly decorated. Perfect for a weekend escape or a longer stay. Highly recommend!

About the host

Hosted by Megan Clark

Host profile image
We owned and my husband operated the Slogar Bar & Restaurant for 12 years which is the same property as the Chicken Little but now has new owners! We've lived in Crested Butte for 40+ years put together and love it there. This little cabin used be the "Horsin Around" stable which ran the hay rides around town in the 70's-80's.

Why they chose this property

On the bus loop, renovated historic cabin, cute as can be. We are so excited about this historic remodel. It was used as an old barn for a horse drawn carriage business that would go around town called "Just Horsin' Around". We were able to reuse lots of material from the original structure inside and out of the new cabin.

What makes this property unique

Located in the heart of Crested Butte, this adorable brand new cabin is perfect for your romantic getaway, family fun or hardcore adventures! Also, conveniently located next door to the nordic center and the world famous Slogar serving the best family style fried chicken dinner.
