Great stay - so close to ski!

The place was great for our stay! We had three adults (one couple and another adult), and this space was perfect for our needs. The bus to the ski area picks up right next to the garage! Truly so close. Fantastic stay, and we will be back!!

Perfect place for a CB getaway

We loved our stay at this property. The location was great with a beautiful view of the valley. Parking right by the unit. Close to a free shuttle stop and walking distance for us up to the resort area (in normal shoes, not in ski boots). The condo was clean, quiet, comfortable and had everything we needed. The host communicated with us frequently. Check in was very easy and clear instructions for our stay. Would definitely stay here again.

Wonderful Stay in Crested Butte

Great accommodations, convenient to everywhere

we'd been looking for a comfortable 2 bedroom place, and this fit the bill perfect. Great accommodations. Appreciated the fire place on some of the cool evenings. Close to the bus stop, and Evolution bike park, would definitely stay here again!

This condo might be my favorite one ever. It was exceptionally clean. It was well-supplied with basic cooking supplies. It was well-decorated, and the views were great! I'd love to stay there again when I make the next trip to Crested Butte.

Awesome CB townhouse!

I stayed for a relatively extended period in early 2021 (half of January and all of February) and loved every minute! The townhouse is cozy but spacious, in a perfect location (walkable to the West Wall lift, and on a bus route to base), and has two parking spots (one covered but a tight fit). Will definitely try to stay here again!

Wildflower Power

We hiked from Aspen to CB and found this condo to be the perfect spot to rest and refresh before hiking home. The short walk to the seasonal bus stop was easy and convenient to enjoy dining and shopping in CB. The condo was well equipped and very comfortable (meant to check the brand of the mattresses as they were really nice). We'll be back!

We had a wonderful stay in this well stocked condo. The new deck was fabulous! The beds were very comfortable. Loved having a washer & dryer. Loved having access to Netflix on the TV. Great location with beautiful views. Perfect for summer or winter. Friendly & helpful owners, & nice neighbors.

Spice of Life

We loved our time here. The condo felt like home. The owners shared so much so that our time there was like being at home. The kitchen was stocked beyond belief! The bedrooms, bathrooms, etc. were also so comfortable! The deck was wonderful for breakfast or dinner. The owner was so available and helpful to us. It was a wonderful time.

Awesome!

We loved staying at spice of life. Beautiful location, and only a 7 min walk to the lift. Kitchen is well stocked with spices and cooking pots and pans. We were able to prepare all meals here with no problem. Lots of extra blankets and towels so we were able to fit 8 of us comfortably. We had to get in touch with the owners once during the stay and they were very responsive.

About the host

Hosted by Elizabeth F.

Host profile image
We are an outdoorsy family with a son in high school and a daughter with a family of her own. We rent to individuals, families, or groups that are respectful of our home and love the Colorado lifestyle as much as we do. We are animal lovers but keep our animals at home so this can be a comfortable place for those with allergies.

Why they chose this property

We've been CB fans ever since ski bumming here in the 90s and feel fortunate to call it our home away from home today - a vibrant, funky, one-of-a-kind town surrounded by a mountain playground offering endless opportunities for fun, recreation, and relaxation!

What makes this property unique

We have a private and quiet location on the end of a 5-unit building. Great neighbors who live there year-round. Wonderful fast sledding hill in the backyard! Sunny, clean, and fully stocked with everything from spices to condiments to shampoo and conditioner and lotion - save yourself the hassle and cost of having to buy or bring the basics. We have an enclosed detached garage with a second outdoor parking spot in front of it, which isn't the case with many rentals. We are right on the bus loop, so you can get to the lifts within minutes either by walking or taking the bus, as well as to the resort base area or into town. Park the car, forget about it, and enjoy your mountain getaway!
