About this property

Cozy Cabin in the Heart of it All - Unbeatable Location!

The Crested Butte Love Shack - Experience a piece of Crested Butte, Colorado history by staying in an old miner's cabin, one of the original Crested Butte structures dating back to the mining era of the 1890's. The Cabin has been thoughtfully updated with the latest comforts and technology but still has all the charm and flavor of the old West. And the location absolutely can't be beat.

Just steps from historic Elk Avenue, the Cabin location is ideal. Shopping, dining, recreation trails, and the mountain (ski) shuttle bus are close by. The view of Mount Crested Butte from the Cabin is inspirational. Winter cross-county trails and summer wildflower hikes start a block from the front door.

This cozy, open-concept Cabin, filled with light and character, is the perfect getaway for a couple. It features a fully outfitted kitchen, one bathroom, and a comfy queen bed on the main level. The exterior has a fenced-in yard with seating areas (including a funky artistic bench made out of old skis), a propane grill and a locked shed to house any skis/bikes/gear you bring with you. There is also a convenient 2-car driveway to avoid the downtown parking permit/time limit hassles.

If you are looking for history mixed with the latest technology (including security enabled high-speed wireless internet, smartTV, Bluetooth speaker, and a high efficiency full-sized washer/dryer), you will find it here. This intimate, comfortable Cabin proves that great vacations and memories can come in small packages...

This non-traditional Cabin is perfect for the young-at-heart! It is located on First Street in Crested Butte, Colorado (just off of Elk Ave) - a fantastic location. Well behaved pets are very welcome.

Outstanding Fall getaway at the Loveshack! This quaint cute cabin was perfect!

The property worked great for us. Hiking all day in the fall colors and returning to the Loveshack for a restful evening was the perfect balance. Great location for local evening walks around town and on the Woods Trail.

Perfect location!

This darling cabin is perfect for two people who want to drop their gear and go. It was super clean with all you need supplied. The small private yard with patio table and grill was perfect for an evening dinner and place to unwind. The very best thing about this place is its location. It is literally about 20 steps from Elk Street, CB’s charming downtown. We will be back!

Love Shack Stay in Crested Butte

My husband and I loved the LOVESHACK for our stay in CB. I grew up in CB and came back for a dear friend's 75th birthday party and for the 4th of July. The LOVESHACK was perfect for our needs and centrally located, which made getting to all the festivities and restaurants and the birthday party easy peasy. Thanks for the great hospitality!!!

Great Location

We loved staying at the Love Shack. It is very accessible to Elk Street which is a huge plus. We've stayed in several locations in town and this one is probably the best located for our interests which center around food, hiking and just milling around.

We enjoyed our stay very much. However, we were unable to take advantage of the backyard are due to a large number of flies.

True to its name

The Love Shack is super cute! If you don't need a lot of space, this is an absolutely ideal location in Crested Butte. Despite its compact size, it has everything you need for a home away from home. Sheryl was very friendly and helpful, too.

Very comfortable and convenient. Has everything you need for an enjoyable stay. Turns out there is a bed on the lower level, not just a futon. Only thing missing was lounge chairs in the yard. Will definitely return!

Cute Cabin in Prime Location

We had a wonderful time. My husband and our 2 mini Aussies stayed. It was a perfect size for us and even had a fenced in back yard. We love the town and could easily walk to everything, take the bus up to the mountain or enjoy hiking trails just minutes away from the cabin.

About the host

Hosted by Sheryl

Host profile image
Welcome to the magical land that is Crested Butte. We're glad you found us. Both Sheryl and Trevor have a long history with this wonderful town...separately finding our way here sometime around 1993 from New Hampshire and Vermont, respectively. Although we were both ski/snowboard bums around the same time, we never met until we were both daily-grind career types in Boston 7 years later. We shared similar friends in Boston and, low and behold, after our first conversation, we found out we had a lot of the same Crested Butte friends as well. Synchronicity. If you believe in the concept, you'll find it runs heavy here. In 2002, Trevor and Sheryl moved back to Colorado, bought this little cabin and nicknamed it the Love Shack. We hope you enjoy it as much as we do.

Why they chose this property

After traveling around the world, we both agree - Crested Butte is truly one of the most beautiful places either of us has ever been. We think you'll agree, too.
