The five of us made it up for a winter visit, skiing and the whole nine yards. Gothic Charmer is in a very peaceful part of town, close to everything (walkable!) but basically set in an aspen glade beyond the through-traffic. Winter views of Crested Butte and a few peaks to the north. The cabin itself was peaceful, too, wonderfully low-key and cozy. It was neat to relax in the living room by the massive stone fireplace, set among walls of rough-hewn log, wood floors with nice rug, and a relaxed old-time feel. Overall, it was a nice mix of rustic and more modern. There’s a lot more room than you’d first think, too - nice quiet master suite in back to one side, rec room out in back on the other. Loved the stained glass flourish in the dining room. Kids loved the bedrooms upstairs. The home was really well appointed, lots to cook with, lots of extra blankets and towels. We especially appreciated clean towels and bedding, without heavily-scented perfume :) Entry foyer had lots of room for boots and winter gear. Alpine Management was wonderfully responsive and hospitable, too, thank you! We had a question about the stove, got it straightened out in under an hour. They were definitely on top of snow removal, we arrived to two big off-street parking spaces, nice and clear, and the caretaker made sure we were happy with accommodations. We hope to stay again soon :)
