Comfortable condo with sweeping mountain views, private balcony, & washer/dryer
Guest rating: 3.9 / 5
Overview
This is a condo-style vacation rental in Mt. Crested Butte, Colorado, set within walking distance of several bus stops that connect to the wider resort area. The unit offers an open floor plan with a well-equipped kitchen, comfy living space, and a private balcony showcasing sweeping mountain views. It operates under Mt. Crested Butte STR License 305456, indicating a licensed short-term rental rather than a traditional hotel.
Unit Character & Amenities
Inside, guests find a full kitchen with a dishwasher, microwave, oven/stove, and ample counter space for cooking, plus a private washer/dryer conveniently located near the kitchen. The living area includes cable TV, and the bedroom offers plush bedding for a comfortable night's sleep. Note that the unit is not equipped with air conditioning, though heating is provided, and streaming services require guests to log into their own accounts.
Location & Surroundings
The condo sits less than a mile from Crested Butte Mountain Resort, with the Snodgrass Trailhead and Crested Butte Nordic trails less than four miles away, making it a strong base for skiing in winter and hiking or mountain biking in summer. Downtown Elk Avenue's charming wooden-building shops and restaurants are close by, and several bus stations (Chateaux, Mountain Sunrise Condos, Mountaineer Square, Three Seasons/Outrun Condos, and The Plaza) sit within a few hundred meters, easing car-free travel around town. Dining options nearby include A Bar Above, Butte 66, José Crested Butte, and billy barr, all within roughly 400 meters.
Practical Details
Free parking is provided for one vehicle, with the parking pass located inside the unit, and free Wi-Fi is available throughout the stay. The building includes an elevator, and the property is designated smoke-free.
Best for
This condo suits outdoor-focused travelers and small families who want ski-in/ski-out-adjacent access to Crested Butte Mountain Resort in winter and hiking/mountain biking trails in summer. Its full kitchen, washer/dryer, and balcony with mountain views also make it a good fit for longer stays where self-catering and laundry convenience matter. The nearby bus stations and downtown Elk Avenue dining make it workable for travelers who prefer not to drive everywhere.
Travel tips
Since the unit provides only one designated parking spot with the pass stored inside, guests arriving with more than one vehicle should plan accordingly. Multiple bus stations are within a short walk (as close as 44 meters), which is useful for reaching the mountain resort or downtown without a car. Guests should also confirm entry codes and exact room/unit number with the host in advance, as building and lock-box access requires separate codes.
What guests say
Guests consistently praised the location and value, highlighting the scenic balcony view and easy proximity to the mountain and downtown area. On the downside, multiple reviewers mentioned the absence of air conditioning or fans as a comfort issue, and at least one guest reported a door lock that didn't function properly. Communication and check-in logistics were also a recurring complaint, with reports of unclear building and lock-box entry codes, incorrect room numbers, and unexpectedly high cleaning fees relative to the booking cost.
