Trailside 3BR Top-Floor Views and Sauna

10/10 Excellent

"My family and I had a wonderful stay here. The condo was clean and well stocked with any amenity or extra touch we needed. Matthew was incredibly responsive and helpful with tips about the town, hikes, and recommendations. Having an outdoor patio with such a lovely view was a wonderful way to start each day and the location to town was easy. We would absolutely stay in this condo again!"

Cozy CB Condo Close to Ski Resort and Hiking/Biking

8/10 Good

"We really enjoyed our 3 night stay at this Crested Butte condo. The property was accurately described, so no surprises. We spent most of our days out hiking and loved being able to come back to the balcony with beautiful views. The queen and king beds were comfortable. The kitchen was well stocked. As the host mentions, there are a significant amount of stairs from the parking lot to this top level condo. Michael shared a few parking tips to help us with unloading at check in.Our only recommendation to the host would be to clean out the upstairs shower drain so that the tub doesn't fill up during showers.Thanks for sharing your condo with us!"

"We had a great time at the condo, it was well furnished, had all of the necessary kitchen supplies, and had enough room for our party of 8. We'd stay here again and a perfect location to start and end our days."

Amazing Mountain Home w/ 360 degree mountain views, hot tub and outdoor deck.

10/10 Excellent

"The house was perfect for hosting! We were all amazed at how many bathrooms there were in the house. The mountain views were incredible - most mornings there was an owl in the aspen trees below. Hummingbirds flitted around often, as well as the occasional deer! The sunset views were gorgeous. The driveway is long and fit a bunch of cars, just had to reverse back up but it wasn't an issue! It was the perfect amount of homey for our mini, half-week retreat. (and our chef really appreciated the kitchen space and how many utensils and gear were stocked!)"

Ski in Ski Out Above Base Area with Free Condo Shuttle, Beautiful Condo!

10/10 Excellent

"Wonderful place with amazing views! Everything you need was in the condo. There are a few staircases so just be ready for that as others have mentioned."
