About this property

Walking Distance to Everything! Hiking, Skiing, Biking, Great Food & Shopping!

CHARMING 3 BR VICTORIAN IN THE HISTORIC DISTRICT!
Walking distance to shopping, great food, skiing, hiking. and so much more.

Imagine sitting in the sunroom, on the patio or on our handmade, outdoor love seat with a cup of coffee or glass of wine as you enjoy the fantastic view of mountains, flower gardens, and relax after a full day of fun!

Kate's Place is located in the Crested Butte historic district, one half block off Elk Ave., main street. Kate's Place was shipped to CB in 1922 by train as one of the first original Montgomery Ward's kit homes. It was erected by a local miner with the help of friends and neighbors. The home is named after Kate Starika who shared letters with the lonely miner and agreed to marry him after he provided her with a respectable home.

The home was restored in the early 80's and was recognized by the Board of zoning and Architectural Review as the best example of historical renovation completed that year in CB.

"We tried to maintain as much of the historical integrity as possible. The renovation was a labor of love." As much of the original wood trim, flooring and light fixtures were retained. Beautiful leaded glass doors and side panels were designed in Dallas to fit the new entrance way into home and the wonderful enclosed sunroom. The perfect place to relax after a day of skiing, hiking, biking or shopping in town. The most wonderful element of the home is it's location...walking distance to all the beauty and charm of Crested Butte.

Kate's Place is cozy and comfortable with furniture designed to spread out and relax. When you come to CD you want to relax and enjoy the large and private yard, patio, and outdoor furniture that provides another great space to chill!

Kate's Place is licensed by the town of Crested Butte, license no 12755. Yearly the property is inspected to make sure all safety rules and regulations are followed.
This assures you and your family of a safe, clean property for you vacation needs.

Wedding weekend
A great place to stay in Crested Butte. Super location - quiet block very near all town attractions. Comfortable beds and super well stocked kitchen. Upstairs main bedroom suite was great. We were in town for my son’s wedding and great backyard and deck served as a wonderful place to sit and visit with family who came in for wedding. We would love to stay here again when we return for another visit.

Cute & Eclectic
Location is excellent! Short walk to all the shops/restaurants. House is cute and eclectic. Stocked with all the things you might need. Price was great! For those looking to stay at this property - please note that that the bedroom with the bunk bed is extremely small... not much space to move around. The bunk bed is only suitable for very small children. Our 6-year old slept on the bottom bunk, but it was such a low clearance that she would hit her head when trying to sit up or get in/out of the bed. Additionally - the back door of the home is in this same bedroom - which I will admit, was a bit unsettling being that our children were sleeping in this room. All in all - a great stay! Thank you for sharing your property with us!

Fourth of July-wedding
House was great and worked perfectly for our group. 80 year old grandma was able to get in and around using cane and walker. 1st floor bedroom was a perfect space for her which was our primary concern. Upstairs master worked well preparing for the wedding with multiple mirrors and space to spread out. Exterior deck with table and umbrella was utilized as a workspace prepping for the wedding reception. We enjoyed being outdoors while getting the work done.

Great location and quaint property
The best location to walk downtown Crested Butte and catch the shuttle. The property was perfect for my family of 5. It was cozy and warm and perfect for relaxing after a day on the slopes. Kathy was very responsive when we needed to communicate which was appreciated. We will definitely be back when we come to CB again

Thanksgiving Retreat
We drove from East Texas for a wonderful week with our family in Created Butte. Our son has a vacation home nearby, and we were able to have meals at both homes. There were 11 of us and several grand children would occasionally stay overnight. The house was perfect for us. The master bedroom was so nice and roomy. The 2 bedrooms downstairs were small and perfect. We had problems with the internet and the property management company (Mike) promptly came out the day before Thanksgiving and then he contacted Spectrum who’s service man - we think Steve - spent 3 hours Thanksgiving day and fixed the system. We were so grateful! The kitchen was small and well equipped. The house decor is charming. We will be back to stay in this property.

This is one of the best VRBO‘s we’ve stayed in. This place is well appointed. Anything you want for is there. Everything is stocked, almost everything you would need for cooking, washing, barbecue.

Convenient location, nice home
Our stay at Kate’s Place was nice. We enjoyed being one block from Elk Ave. and all the restaurants and shops. The house was clean and inviting, stocked with towels. Upon arrival we found out that there were numerous rules not mentioned in the listing (unable to open any window freely, leaving blinds a certain way, etc.) that may have been beneficial upfront since we really enjoy letting in the mountain air, though we lucked out with cooler weather. We were also surprised to find that the door to the primary bedroom upstairs was removed thus not allowing for much privacy. Overall we enjoyed our stay.

Amazing stay in CB
Kate's Place was absolutely charming and convenient to EVERYTHING in CB. The listing photos undersell the back yard, which is truly lovely and peaceful! We loved that the house had a few camp chairs to use in the yard. We had a comfortable stay in the master suite upstairs - had the house been full, the lack of a door might have been a bigger deal, but it was just our son downstairs in the bunk room. The home had everything needed in the kitchen, bathrooms and bedrooms for a comfortable stay. Beautiful natural light. The home stayed cool at night and during the day. We were grateful for the washer and dryer as we had lots of outdoor adventures - it might be helpful to note on the dryer unit that you need to use the time setting rather than the sensor setting. Kathy was great to communicate with and answered all of our questions promptly. We'd happily stay here again.

My husband and I purchased Kate's Place in 1989 and have been adding updates ever since as a labor of love. Now retired we get to enjoy CB even more and have learned that spring and fall are also special times and are busy exploring the area during these seasons too. We share some of our favorite places in the Guest Book waiting for you at the house.




Why they chose this property

We often visited Crested Butte to ski and loved the area. When we saw Kate's Place we fell in love again! The house is part of the history of CB and is all most 100 years old. Kate's Place is located one block off the main street of Elk Ave....walking distance to hiking, shopping, dinning and parks. Two blocks from the free shuttle bus to the mountain.

What makes this property unique

Outdoor beauty, friendly people, wonderful hiking, skiing, rafting, biking and more within walking distance. Great food and social events...everything for the perfect vacation!
Great 4th of July parades, weekly music at the park and on the mountain. Food and wine events. Summer chair lift rides with or without your bike. Art shows and the weekly farmers market and art show are just a few of the events to keep you busy.
