Local caretaker available to assist with your needs!
The home's amenities include a theater room (with satellite television and XBOX); giant chess set; telescope; arts and crafts room; small library stocked with local books; closet filled with board games; and arcade room with television, game table, air hockey, pinball, skee ball, full-sized, upright console that houses classic arcade games and a jacuzzi on the balcony looking out at Whetstone Mountain.
As you drive through the forest and approach our front porch, your mind will wander as you feel relaxation setting in and visualize yourself on the rocking or swinging chair enjoying the outdoors and local wildlife.
Welcome into our beautiful vacation home via a grand entry with a custom made staircase made from local timbers and antique pieces.
The children's desire is to run to the right of the entry to the Arcade Room. Inside they will find Skee Ball, a pinball machine, air hockey game, game table for poker or other card games, arcade console, television, queen sofa bed and full mini kitchen which includes a refrigerator, sink, plates, glasses, dishwasher and microwave oven. The Arcade Room has its own private balcony and Jacuzzi. This authentic game room may be the reason your children ask to keep coming back each year!
If you proceed straight down the hallway from the entry you will encounter the theater room to the right, the guest room to the left and two children's rooms further ahead.
The Theater Room allows the whole family to sit together, crank up the sound system and watch movies on DVD, satellite television, Pay Per View or play with the XBOX or Play Station gaming systems. Another heaven for children.
The guest room contains a queen bed with its own private full bathroom and balcony looking out at Mount Crested Butte.
The two children's rooms each have a queen bed with full private bathrooms.
To the left of the entry way you will find a second entry to the house via a mudroom.
The mudroom allows access to the two car heated garage which is big enough to park trailers if desired and a full laundry room that contains storage, a laundry shoot from upstairs, sink, washer and dryer. Outside the laundry room window is a beautiful view of Mount Crested Butte.
Climbing the stairs to the second floor you will see spectacular views from every window. At the top of the stairs, you will enter the Great Room with a large fireplace and panoramic views of the Crested Butte Valley. This Great Room is comparable to what you would find in a 5 star hotel ski lodge.
The Great Room possesses a telescope to enlarge the views or to look to the sky, a large scale chess set overlooking the Skyland area and a stereo system with an Ipod that contains over 10,000 songs. The music system can be played throughout the house and the volume adjusted in each room. Or you may simply cuddle up on the couch, or in a comfy chair, and read a book with a raging fireplace or on the expansive balcony while watching the sun set over the mountains!
The balcony off the Great Room has a BBQ and picnic table so the family can enjoy a beautiful outdoor dinner or happy hour. At night, you must enjoy the shooting stars that appear right above your head through the telescope or even the naked eye.
Off of the Great Room and to the right at the top of the stairs is the Arts and Crafts Room that can also be used as a fifth bedroom The room has a double bed with a pullout twin trundle bed, craft table, chairs and lighting to allow one to take pleasure in their hobbies late into the night. This room is open to the great room at the ceiling level, so not an ideal bedroom for the early to bed guests. It also has beautiful french doors that open up onto a private balcony looking out at Whetstone Mountain.
At the top of the stairs is the dining area. This oval table allows maximum dialogue by allowing all parties to contribute to the conversation. The table has the capacity for twelve people to enjoy dinner together.
Immediately past the dining area is the gourmet kitchen. This elaborate kitchen was designed for a gourmet chef and maximum efficiency. The kitchen contains a Dacor 6 burner stove, Sub-Zero Refrigerator, two small drink refrigerators, a Dacor oven and convection oven, microwave oven, two dishwashers, two sinks, an island and plenty of counter space. The kitchen is stocked with almost any appliance you would need and is open to the house so the chef does not feel excluded from the rest of the company.
Across from the kitchen is the breakfast nook that seats 6.
The master bedroom has breathtaking views through each window and is a true romantic retreat! The room offers a king size bed; fireplace; original artwork of Charles White, french doors opening to a balcony and a master bathroom with a jacuzzi bath tub, his and her sinks and dual heads in the over sized master shower.
Step outside the home and into the forest to explore the Rocky Mountains!

Our family and friends came to this house for the holiday. We were blown away when we walked in because this beautiful home is even better than the pictures. The views were breathtaking. We read other reviews about the elevation of this home and we managed great. The roads up to the house were very well maintained and plowed- my Honda Odyssey with snow tires didn’t have any trouble at all! The property manager was very responsive and even picked up our ski rental shipment that arrived early and brought it to the house. Everyone in our group talked about how this is probably the greatest house we’ve ever rented. The board games and arcade in the lower level were perfect for everyone- my 5 and 7 year old played for hours, giving the adults time to chat and hang out. Overall, we had a fantastic time and plan to return! THANK YOU!!!!
We loved everything about this house! The views are breathtakingly beautiful. The kitchen, and every part of this home is well equipped and met all of our needs. The owners and property manager have been easy to communicate with and quick to respond. Our experience and stay was perfect in every way! We would love to come back!
We really enjoyed the home and the view is spectacular! Very well stocked kitchen, linens and cleaning supplies. The picture with the bunk room needs to be removed from listing. Luckily we brought an air mattress with us. Thank you for sharing your home!!!
Property advertised as 1.8 miles from Crested Butte. It is 6.9 miles to Crested Butte
We have an AMAZING time. The house is so lovely, well equipped with all your needs. Lots of space for everyone. Will defiantly be staying again. The host and property manager are very nice. Easy to speak with and answered all of our questions we had before renting. Thank you so much for letting everyone enjoy your lovely home. Just breath taking views. Defentaly recommend a 4 wheel drive car for sure ?. Happy Vacationing everyone!!
Great house, good location
Our family of 11 spent 6 nights at this fabulous home over Christmas. The setting is truly amazing from all angles. We felt like we were living in a winter wonderland. The kids sledded down the road and we tromped around on snowshoes. Sled and snowshoes were in the garage. It was very convenient to the snowcat trails which we so enjoyed. The drive up and down the hill from downtown Crested Butte in winter takes about 15 minutes going slowly. Some in our group went down to ski a few days. Our property manager was very accessible answering all our texts immediately…. Even during holidays. I’m not sure it is mentioned in the website that the house sits at 10,500 feet which made it difficult for my husband to breath and function well but we managed. I highly recommend this home for a large family group. Even in the winter the house stayed toasty warm and the immense second floor open living/dining/kitchen was more than spacious for us to all gather. One of a kind home and experience!
We enjoyed our stay overall, really a dream home, atop a mountain literally. A handful of us (14 in our group stay-grandparents, kids, grandkids) suffered with the altitude sickness sadly, remember you're up close to 10,500 ft! There were places in town, down mountain Crested Butte for IV's, hyperbolic oxygen chambers and even a place that let us rent an oxygen machine to have with us at the property, super helpful. There are 3 bedrooms downstairs, each with their own en suite which was great. The bathrooms could have been cleaner (dusty mirrors and not thorough floor cleanings but lovely nonetheless). 1 of the 3 was a bunkbed room which the kids loved and also the game room (pullout sofa) and movie room were big hits with them. The master bedroom is upstairs and is huge with massive bathroom, walk-in closet, fireplace and walkout to the back deck. (Sadly, our stay end of May/beginning of June had the deck completely covered with snow, ha!) The 2nd bedroom upstairs is more like a playroom off of the living room, the walls do not go to the ceiling and we were not able to put kids to sleep at all in that room-late nights/early mornings, everything could be heard. The kitchen is amazing, chef's dream! Although, for groups with kids it would be great if more kid-friendly items were made available-highchair, booster seats, baby gates for the stairs (huge!). We ran out of dishwasher cleaner the last 2 days so maybe could be a bit more stocked for us larger groups. Unfortunately, the DVD player didn't work so we were unable to utilize the vast library of movies available, much to the kids disappointment and the hot tub (which was a main selling point for us!) was broken our entire stay. We worked with Eric, on-site manager, with these issues and he was attentive but even after we'd all returned home I would have loved a final message offering a credit or discount on next stay, etc. but we heard nothing? I texted to inquire more and received no response. We're a large group and don't mind paying for premium properties. In our past experiences, when something that is advertised is missing or broken its common to credit something back, at least the cleaning fee? Overall a memorable stay in a magical mountain retrea!
My husband and I celebrated our 50th wedding anniversary at this gorgeous vacation home. Our children and grandchildren joined us and the place was comfortable, large, and had every imaginable amenity. The views from the porch of the mountains would be hard to match. We took many hikes in the area and never really saw any of views that beat the one from the back porch. This is a perfect place to enjoy the best of Crested Butte with your friends and family.
Great house for a large group Beautiful views and very comfortable
Beyond our expectations! Views from every angle and beautiful furnishings. A wonderful memory for my son’s wedding and much needed family time.
Breathtaking views, impressive cabin, and super fun arcade room. Thank you for sharing!
Absolutely stunning. Everyone had an amazing time. We can’t wait to go back. Thank you!
This was an absolutely stunning property with panoramic views of the Elk Mountains, Sawatch Range and Mt. Crested Butte. The hot tub was very modern and comfortable. The game room was amazing with skee-ball, pinball, air hockey, old arcade games, a poker table, etc. The media room had an awesome projector-style setup with a large movie screen and awesome sound system. The kitchen was well appointed and had everything we needed to cook meals for our family. The house is on a well and the water quality was excellent. (You can fill your water bottles at the sink and enjoy fresh mountain spring water.) A 4x4 vehicle or AWD vehicle is recommended since the home is located several miles up a well-maintained gravel road at 10,400ft elevation. In the summer months, a regular sedan would have no issues reaching this property. However, in the snowy months, you might not be able to get in or out during a heavy snow event (or during a melt/mud period). Just keep that in mind. The manager of the property was very helpful and friendly. We had a wonderful family vacation at this property and would highly recommend it to anyone.
