Private Mountain Retreat with Stunning Views & 800 square foot Deck | Pet Friendly

***Winter Disclaimer***

Winters in Crested Butte are something special. The Overlook captures winter in a unique and very special way. You will have full views of winter storms rolling through the mountains like you have never seen before. A few things to keep in mind - heavy snow can change the pace at which things happen. Mountain passes like Monarch Pass can close, roads will become icy, flights will be delayed or not happen at all, so guests will have to remain flexible and be prepared for changed conditions.

A few things specific for this house pertaining to winter weather: the deck could be covered in snow for days or weeks at a time as crews catch up after a big storm. The plow may show up at 5am or 2 days later, I am subscribed to the largest plowing company in Crested Butte but that does not guarantee a plow shows up at the perfect time. The driveway could accumulate deep snow. It can be icy while getting back on the road. The plow will plow up snow berms and you may need to shovel around your vehicle. You will have to be careful to not block the plow and/or shuffle vehicles while the plow works. The snow can accumulate so high, that your dog can walk right over the fence. The roof can shed snow and ice. Do not try to walk or ski down the steep embankment to fields below, it can avalanche and bury you or your dog.

Winter presents new challenges that make it fun and very special, but it has to be taken seriously at times. The ground can become covered in deep snow from just the wind blowing. When walking in town or at ski area, the roof can shed and bury you at any moment even on sunny days. Vehicles can slide off the road very easily. Walking can be slippery. Object under the snow will be hidden.

Welcome to your perfect Crested Butte getaway! This spacious 2-bedroom, 2-bath home is part of a peaceful duplex—completely private with no shared spaces, including your own entrance, indoor areas, and a massive 800 sq ft deck with jaw-dropping, unobstructed views of Mt. Crested Butte, Gothic, Slate River Valley, Paradise Divide, and more. Locals agree—these are some of the best views in the valley.

Relax on the large deck with a BBQ grill, 13-piece dining set, bistro table, and comfortable lounge furniture—all framed by cedar and finished with durable composite decking. Enjoy evenings by the fire pit under the stars, with firewood and outdoor lighting provided.

Inside, you’ll find comfort and style with a fully stocked kitchen, new stainless appliances, Italian leather furniture, and a cozy wood stove. The upstairs bedroom features a plush King bed, while the downstairs room has a comfortable Queen. Large windows flood the home with light and let you take in the 360° views all day long.

Pet Friendly + Fenced Yard
We welcome well-behaved dogs! The yard is fenced and accessible via an XL dog door. Please note that in winter, snow can build up enough for dogs to walk over the fence—so leash walks may be needed. Renters must pick up after pets. If you’re sensitive to pet allergens, this may not be the best fit, as the home does host dogs between deep cleanings. Small dogs can fit between the 4” gaps for snow removal on edges of deck, so watch your small dog who may be able to escape.
There is a limit of two dogs in this unit unless special accommodations with additional fees will also apply.
Additional Highlights:
• 75” Samsung TV with Roku + YouTubeTV
• Spectrum WiFi + plenty of work space
• Wood stove + natural gas + electric heating
• Washer/dryer & all essentials provided
• 50 amp RV hookup & ample parking
• Private 1.3-acre lot just 1 mile from downtown CB
• Recreation trail to town passes through the property
• Wildlife sightings: elk, foxes, eagles, deer, bears & more
• Owner with 15 years of local experience—quick to help anytime

The house is set just off Hwy 135, with a berm and vegetation buffer. New insulated windows keep things quiet inside—please read reviews for guest insights on sound.

Whether you’re coming for summer hiking, fall colors, or just a peaceful break in the mountains, this home is ready to welcome you. Come for a weekend—or stay for a while. Ask about monthly rates!

Great place! Close to everything!

The house was very clean, roomy and comfortable. The view is AMAZING! It was perfect for our kids and dogs. There was a BIG storm before we came but we had no problems getting in or out of the house and the mountain and skiing were so close and spectacular.

Beautiful view!

The views from the backyard are incredible! Pictures actually don't do this place justice! We loved how close this house was to town and our dog loved playing and chasing chipmunks in the yard. This was our first time to Crested Butte and we hope we can come again and stay at this property!

Best view in CB!

Chad’s home was a great home base for us during our week in crested butte. The deck is unreal and views are some of the best we have ever experienced in Colorado. We saw thousands of stars and the Milky Way every night. We enjoyed the deck for yoga and coffee in the morning and relaxing at night. The home is spacious and had everything we needed. Chad was super helpful with hiking tips and always responded quickly. It was a short mike walk to town on the path directly below the house which was also great for a morning run. One thing to note is that the house is directly off a highway and there is some road noise present at times. It didn’t hinder our sleep or enjoyment, but we did hear it at times. After the first day, we didn’t really notice it. The living room couch was AMAZING! Recliners and cup holders on both ends and we loved watching TV there at night. Chad has all the great smart TV streaming options. Crested butte was a fabulous hippie chic town with amazing hiking, great food, friendly people and a Wild West spirit. We hope to return and would look forward to staying at Chad’s home again.

A relaxing week in a lovely place

We were thrilled with our stay at The Overlook. In fact, of all of our VRBO/Airbnb experiences, we've decided this was our best. Host: Chad was a thoughtful, active host. He texted me to ensure we arrived safely and didn't need anything, and even warned us to watch our dogs around the gaps in the fence. He was super responsive when I had a question about trash and changing check-out time. I was very grateful for his speedy responses! The house itself: Very well equipped. I think the only thing we couldn't find was a can opener (we found one but it was broken or we couldn't figure it out :) ), but literally everything else we needed, we found easily. The downstairs shower is uh-may-zing. We stayed in the room upstairs, and our friends stayed in the room downstairs. (I snuck in a shower downstairs before they arrived --- totally epic!) Highway noise: Yes, you do hear it from on the back porch. We put on some quiet music, and it really didn't bother us. If you're wanting a truly off-the-grid location, pick a place up in the mountains. But if you want something super convenient to town, and a view to knock your socks off, this is your place. The Deck: holy wonderful. We had an incredible time eating, cooking, and reading on the deck. It was lovely. One word of caution (which Chad warned us about): there are a lot of little gaps where dogs can get out. The bigger problem for us, as we discovered the hard way, was the gap between the railing and the deck. . .our mostly-blind, entirely-deaf dog slipped and fell down onto the steep dirt path below. She's okay, thank heavens, but we definitely moved some wood and barriers so that wouldn't happen again. Learn from our mistake! Don't wait. Book this place. It was just perfect for our little getaway!

We loved staying at the Overlook! This was our first trip to Crested Butte, and the area and the house did not disappoint! We rented Chad's home for two weeks in Sept, and got to see the start of the turning of the fall leaves. Had some crispy, cool mornings which were great for us coming from South Texas! The views are phenomenal, you have a front row seat to Mt Crested Butte. The house is stocked with everything you need, even for long-time tenants. The TV in the family room is ginormous. This is our 7th trip to CO and this has to be the best view thus far!! Thanks Chad! PS - hit Butte Bagels and the Secret Stash for great bagels and pizza!

I don't believe I could find a nicer place, the views from Chad's home were amazing you can watch the elk and checkout the beautiful mountain view all day long. Backyard was perfect for our pup. Plenty of firewood for wood burner and firepit. The house came with everything we needed and was very roomy. I'm hoping to return.

Amazing views and home!

First off the views from the back deck make this property worth it alone. It’s a great place for a morning coffee or an evening drink and to stare out at the mountains that surround you. The home spacious and was very clean. Communication was great and the directions were spot on. This is definitely a place I would return to whenever I’m in the area.
