About this property
Private guesthouse on elk!
Free-standing, Private guest house behind main house, in the alley, yet still on the main drag (Elk Ave) in downtown CB. Cozy studio with all the amenities of a big house, but intimate enough for a couple's getaway. Close to everything downtown and only 1.5 blocks from the bus at the "4-way Stop" on Elk ave. Access to the shared yard, townie bikes, and BBQ in the summertime. 1/2 block to Rainbow park and 1.5 blocks to entire town :) *** Business Lic #7138

Super fun place. Host was great at communicating before, during and after our stay. Perfectly located, walkable from downtown CB. Easy and protected parking. Space is efficient. The pull down bed is unique and is a good use of space. Kitchen is well equipped. Easy stay and would definitely stay again.
This property was perfect for a weekend getaway for me and my wife! We could walk to everywhere in Crested Butte. The place felt more spacious than I thought it would due to the Murphy bed and it had everything you needed in the small space (kitchen, laundry, etc). We already plan to go back next year and hope to stay here again.
Love, love, loved this property. Perfect for two in ideal location in amazing Crested Butte. Comfortable bed and perfect accommodations and Sasa is the BEST to work with! Highly recommend this property!
The back alley studio had everything we needed to cook our meals as the kitchen is well stocked, and it stayed warm and cozy when the temps dropped below 0F during our stay. The location was also very convenient for us to go cross country and skate skiing.
Sasa is an excellent host. Her communication and organization made all the logistics a breeze. The place is in a great location, a very short walk from the main part of town and the bus stop (the bus to the mountain in CB is the easiest of anywhere and runs every 15 minutes on a set schedule). The views of Mt. Crested Butte are amazing from this location. The place has everything you could want and the bed and furniture were quite comfy. Hope to stay there again in the future.
This was a perfect, private and charming home. Everything was so lovely and well thought out. My battery in my car died and Sasa was able to give me a jump start. I think the trip jump started my mind getting me out of the covid blues. I can as steps away from great hikes and a charming coffee shop. I’d definitely stay here again.

Disappointing
The hostess is nice and the check in was easy but there is much wrong here. Right next door there is some kind of data center that looks like a house but has sealed windows and noisy equipment that runs all night. How this got put in a residential neighborhood is a mystery. The house heater was extremely noisy, the lighting inadequate and there were loose tiles in the bath that seemed to cover an access opening to under the house. These were covered by a loose rug and were unstable. The 4 p.m. check-in and 10 am checkout hardly leave time to relax.
It's not a terrible place for a heavy sleeper not planning to spend much time there, but it's disappointing at best. On the plus side there is a washer and dryer and some helpful kitchen essentials and condiments, etc. The neighborhood is fine, except for the data center or whatever it is.
Our host Sasa was super friendly and helpful, giving us restaurant tips etc. Location is very convenient, quick walk to town, and the view of Crested Butte Mountain from the window is spectacular!!!
Sasa’s place was just perfect for me . Great location and every detail I could desire . I can’t wait to come back . All the comforts of home in paradise . She went above and beyond .
We loved our time here! Sasa was amazing and let us know fun things that were happening in Crested Butte during our stay. We plan to come back next year!
My husband & I stayed for a weekend ski trip & this was the perfect cozy little spot. Perfect walking distance to everything in town including shuttle to mountain every day. Condo had everything we needed-coffee maker, washer dryer, even a boot warmer/dryer which was a nice added perk after a day of fresh powder😬. Sasa was a great host & super friendly & quick to respond. Will definitely stay again!!!

About the host
Hosted by Sasa Watt
I'm a true local, having grown up in Crested Butte, moved away after high school and am finally back after 21 years! I've lived all over the US as well as overseas, but on July 4th, 2016 I moved back from LA where I was working as an accountant for TV and film. Now I run my new company, Jamie's Jerky, with my father, bringing the world the best Grass Fed Beef Jerky and Turkey Jerky. LA was my home for 7.5 years(never thought I'd say that) and I lived in a great house where I started my first Airbnb...I am really sad to have left that house, but it was time to move on. The last few years I hosted out of houses I was renting, but as of Oct 2018, I am finally a home owner in CB and can create a home I truly care about! I'm super chill and can't wait to share my new home in my old hometown with new people and new faces. Opening my house to new and returning guests brings a smile to my face... hoping you all can feel at home while on your vacation :)
Why they chose this property
It's a stand alone guest house that has all of the amenities you need while on vacation. Close to everything... and I mean everything.
What makes this property unique
This cottage house is in a quiet, family only, neighborhood with a private entrance off the alley. 1/2 block from Rainbow park, 1.75 blocks to the "4-way" bus stop to take you up the mountain for biking and snow-fun-times, and 1.75 blocks to the beginning of the main drag... Elk avenue. I have bikes you can use to cruise around town with, a huge backyard and BBQ (all are shared with main house.)
