About this property
Private 70 Acre Luxe Retreat with Breathtaking Views! Hot Tub, 10 Minutes to CB!
Experience the pinnacle of Crested Butte living. Perched on an exclusive 70-acre ridge above downtown, this architectural masterpiece offers unparalleled privacy and the most breathtaking views in the region! With zero visible neighbors, enjoy pure alpine silence and unobstructed panoramic views from your wraparound deck and hot tub, all while remaining just minutes from world-class slopes and fine dining. It’s not just a vacation rental; it’s a mountain experience in a league of its own.
Upstairs: This mountain-contemporary home includes a massive open-concept great room. This great room—which includes the living room, floating kitchen, and dining room—features 25-foot ceilings, skylights, custom beams, and an 80-foot wall of windows facing unobstructed panoramic mountain views. You can see 20+ different mountains from the great room; it’s truly one of the best views in all of Colorado! The living room has a cozy gas fireplace with a 75" TV and plenty of comfortable seating for friends and family to gather. The floating chef's kitchen has all the necessary cooking appliances and utensils to ensure a fantastic in-home dining experience. The adjacent dining area provides a grand setting for shared meals, where you can gather around the large table and dine with the 80-foot wall of windows and the most iconic views in Crested Butte as your backdrop. Each of the four bedrooms upstairs has an ensuite bathroom and an exterior door with direct access to the wrap-around deck. The expansive 360-degree wraparound deck includes a hot tub, gas grill, and outdoor seating/dining. The office has a computer monitor with keyboard/mouse for easy hookup to your laptop. Enjoy fast fiber WiFi and fantastic cell phone reception throughout the property. We also provide an iPad with Sonos multi-room audio control, a telescope, a guitar, a piano, and a few other surprises.
Downstairs: The fifth bedroom is located downstairs and is the bunkroom. This room is perfect for kids and has eight total beds (four fulls and four twins) with an ensuite bathroom. The game room lounge is for kids to play and has multiple video game systems and a large 100” TV. The laundry room has double washers/dryers as well as two exercise bikes. The heated oversized six-car garage has room to park two vehicles during your stay, as well as an EV charger, extra fridge/freezer, exercise equipment, ski racks, and a 24-port boot dryer.
Location: Experience unparalleled tranquility and privacy with this one-of-a-kind mountain retreat. Located in the exclusive gated community of Trappers at Wildcat, this property encompasses two adjacent 35-acre lots and holds the rare distinction of being the ONLY home perched on Gibson’s Ridge. This unique position offers total seclusion with no visible neighbors and jaw-dropping panoramic views of 20+ mountain peaks, the valley floor and downtown Crested Butte below. The estate perfectly strikes a balance between untamed wilderness and mountain-town elegance. Step directly into the forest to immerse yourself in the Rockies, or enjoy a scenic 50-minute trek via the Green Lake Trail, delivering you from your front door straight into the heart of downtown. If traveling by vehicle, enjoy a beautiful 4-mile drive through the high country landscape to reach downtown Crested Butte. The drive to downtown usually takes about 10 minutes, though we recommend taking it slow and soaking in the views when winter weather rolls in.
Booking Notes: • Tax Savings: Save 60% on sales tax compared to downtown properties, which carry higher short-term rental fees. • Extended Stay Discounts: Enjoy 10% off weekly stays and 25% off month long bookings. • Fully Stocked: We take pride in providing a fully stocked home; if you find any essentials missing, we will provide them promptly. • On-Site Support: For peace of mind, a local caretaker lives just 10 minutes away. • Direct Communication: Book with confidence knowing you are communicating directly with the homeowner for a personalized experience.

Summer Notes: Enjoy trail access right from your front door! Hike the Green Lake Trail—a scenic three-hour round trip—to reach a stunning lake at the base of Mount Axtell. For a trip into town, an easy 50-minute downhill walk along the same trail leads you directly into downtown Crested Butte. At home, the spacious driveway is perfect for kids’ bikes and scooters, while the grassy backyard offers plenty of room for yard games.
Winter Notes: A 4-wheel drive vehicle is required to navigate local snow and ice. While the ski mountain is only 7 miles away, please allow 20 minutes for the drive in winter conditions. For your convenience, property managers provide complimentary snow removal, and we offer five pairs of snowshoes for exploring the acreage.

Everything! The house (and its pictures) speak for itself. However, when we actually arrived at the house, it felt like a home and was perfect for our group. Jordan couldn't have been more warm and polite and responsive. The house was very well thought out - the prep area for getting ski gear on, the two washers and dryers, the amazing kitchen/family room/dining area was perfect!
The house and property did not disappoint. The pictures don't do the property or the house justice. Communication with the owner before, during, and after was spot on. We truly enjoyed our stay. The house was nicely stocked considering the location. We really only needed to buy what we wanted to consume while there which was a different experience than other vacation rentals.
My family loved our stay. Gorgeous views all around. Lots to do for adults and little ones. Our favorite mountain stay ever! Definitely a 5 star house,5 star host - thank you Jordan & Ian, and 5 star amenities - everything you could ever need. Just plan on having a long stay because you will not be ready to leave!
We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at this beautiful mountain home. It is so well stocked and had everything we could want to vacation comfortably. Especially with 4 little ones, we appreciated the baby gate, high chairs, and abundance of toys. The decking surrounding the house not only provided a gorgeous view but hours of race time around for our 3 and 4 year old grandchildren. The owner was so responsive and accommodating. We have stayed at a lot of VRBO's and this was the best so far!!
If you are thinking of coming to Crested Butte with a group of people I highly recommend this amazing home. It was spotless, well stocked with everything you could possibly need. Beds were extremely comfortable. The view was amazing while relaxing next to the fireplace. Excellent communication with Jordon from day 1. Jordon checked up on us upon arrival and while we were there to see if we needed anything.
Our rental was amazing! The homeowners and rental agency went above and beyond to accommodate our stay. The home was beautiful with breathtaking views. We highly recommend this place to others!
Very beautiful private property overlooking the town of Crested Butte.
This property offers a very clean home with stunning mountain views. Jordon was great to work with and made us feel welcome. All the extra amenities provided were very much appreciated!
This home is above and beyond any place we have ever stayed. The house accommodates a large group well with plenty of room for multiple children. It is equipped with everything you would ever need. The views are incredibly beautiful! Love, love this home!!
Everything was perfect. The home was set up like a 5 star hotel. The views are magnificent. We will go back if given the opportunity. I highly recommend this property.
Our group of 9 included three children and six adults. The house was perfect in all respects. Incredibly well stocked, the owners have thought of everything someone would need in a rental house. Highly recommended!
Beautiful house up Kebler pass from CB proper. About a 15 minute drive in the dry, about a 25 minute drive in the snow. House is gorgeous, well stocked, and has fantastic views and privacy. The roads and driveways were plowed twice a day, and all in all it was a fantastic stay for potentially a large group. Jordon was very communicative and answered all of our questions.
Overall, we had a very good experience. Good communication with the host, accurate description of the property, property was ready for us and check in with Izzy. And overall, it was a very nice house. I would say the only negative was that the fireplace was not working and a few of the appliances, including the icemaker. Otherwise, I would recommend the property for sure.
This house is even more amazing than expected! The online photos do not do it justice as both the home and the view are spectacular in person. I would highly recommend this home for a visit with multiple families. We had 3 families with 6 adults and 10 children. The bunk room in the basement is perfect and the kids loved having their own hangout. The 3 bedrooms with king beds and private baths was also perfect. The beds were comfortable and the decor is classy and comfy. The hot tub is very nice and we spent hours on the wraparound deck. The views of the mountains and valley were truly some of the best we’ve ever seen in Colorado! The property is secluded and very safe - we brought bikes and scooters and the kids played endlessly on the driveway. We hope to make it back for an annual visit!!! Thank you so much for hosting us!
We just hosted our annual ski trip at Jordon's awesome house at 2255 Wildcat and had an amazing time.
The house is absolutely beautiful and the mountain views are breathtaking. We ended up only having 6 of us thought the house would easily handle twice as many. Checking in and arriving at the house was made effortless by Jordon and he happily checked in with us to see if there was anything we needed and made sure our stay was a great one. His property manager quickly responded and took care of one small plumbing problem we encountered and had the snow removed from the drive way early in the morning of an overnight storm so we we're not delayed in getting to the mountain.
We really appreciate that Jordon has a coffee and tea bar set up and kept the kitchen stocked with enough cooking staples (spices, cooking oil etc) to save us the trouble of buying something we'd only use a small amount of.
As someone who organizes an annual ski trip and other group trips for thirty years, I'm happy to say that Jordon's home and attention to detail and service has been one of the best I've ever experienced. I would not hesitate to stay at 2255 Wildcat on our next Crested Butte vacation and will highly recommend it to anyone seeking a luxurious and spacious home at a very reasonable price.
Thanks Jordon!
Unbelievable home in a stunning location. Every detail is provided for and so well-thought-out. Perfect spot for families and larger groups looking to get away into the mountains. Couldn’t have been happier with the entire experience, from booking thru checkout.
Unparalleled Property, Views, Amenities, Supplies and Manager
This property was loved by the 9 of us - all adults over 60 - and spoken of as the best VRBO we have stayed in. Cannot say enough about the amazing mountain & town views, the sunrises & sunsets over the mountains, the extraordinarily supplied kitchen and bathrooms and the comfortable and modern spaces. From the moment we walked in we knew we didn't want to leave. The owner/manager was always available for any questions and assistance. Lasting memories made in this place!
We have stayed in many mountain homes all over Colorado, and this house is by far the best! Great layout, very high end amenities, super helpful owner/property management and no detail left unattended to! We had 4 adults and 8 kids, and the house was perfect. We love the open concept living, there wasn't a day we didn't sit on the deck and enjoy the view (and hot tub!) and the house was stocked with anything you need - cooking supplies, games, audio/video entertainment, awesome game room, the list goes on! Secluded on the mountainside, but also ~10 minutes to town. We saw multiple deer and even a fox! Highly recommend if you're looking for a high-end , sizeable and comfy house to stay in CB!
How do I express the glorious vacation our family of 15 just had? I'm not sure, but it all started with this incredible house! The house met all of our wants and needs (and then some!) from the well-stocked kitchen with every convenience possible, to the comfy living area, to the bedrooms, to the bathrooms, to the downstairs game room and bunkroom (which perfectly suited out kids), to the laundry room, to the hot tub, to the driveway where the kids rode bikes, to the surrounding porch, to the sliding glass doors all around the house. WOW! But to top it all off, the views from this property are literally breathtaking! We can't thank Jordan and his family enough for sharing their glorious home with our family. He supplied a folder which outlined trails to climb, restaurants to try, places to visit...and my family can attest that he was right on point with his suggestions. If you are looking for the PERFECT place to stay in Crested Butte, this is it! We miss it already!
This is a fantastic home for a group of friends or family visiting Crested Butte.
This beautiful home is stocked with everything you could possibly need for your winter or summer visit to Crested Butte. The views are incredible, the beds very comfy, and the kitchen well stocked. Thank you, Jordon, for plowing the drive and clearing off the decks. Happily we got a ton of snow!
Our family had an amazing vacation. The house was immaculate and accommodations were perfect. From the appliances to the linens....we were extremely satisfied. We look forward to visiting during the summer months now!
Jordan’s Crested Butte mountain home is beautiful and he is the ultimate host! We were there with a party of 13 over what we will always remember as snowmageddon of 2021! While we were there CB got at least 9 feet of snow and it was magnificent! Even with 4 wheel drives we were worried about getting in and out… not a problem as the road and driveway were plowed several times a day. Ian the property manager was on site everyday digging us out and solving any problems that arose due to that much snow , he is a rock star! Jordan the owner was so responsive and helpful, couldn’t have asked for more! We will happily return to this stunning house with amazing views, comfy beds, great common space and stocked with EVERYTHING you could possibly need. Bravo to Jordan and Ian!
