If you're looking to be in the heart of a mountain town, this is the place to be! This home sits on the main drag in Crested Butte among all of the retail shops. It was great during the day to run right next door for a quick cup of coffee or a new sweatshirt. Not so great at night. Plowing started some mornings as early as 3AM. And lots of foot traffic and socializing at all hours of the night right outside your front door. If your room is located toward the front of the home, you won't get much sleep, or at least I didn't.
LOTS of bedrooms, which was amazing. The listing was a bit confusing to us as far as beds are concerned. We chose this property because it showed at least 1 king bed and 4 queen beds. We were a bit disappointed to see only 1 king and 3 ACTUAL queen BEDS. There was a queen pullout sofa bed, but the mattress was so thin you could feel the springs. Not an option for us... Speaking of beds, I highly recommend you bring your own pillows. At this price point, we were extremely disappointed in the pillows. Pathetic...
One of our biggest challenges was the temperature within the home. If we were warm downstairs, the people upstairs were BURNING HOT. Each night we tried something different with the thermostats, but never really got it right. It would be nice for the host to provide some direction on this item.
Trash was a bit of an issue. The host mentioned a trash container on the front porch, but it wasn't there. The bear proof trash containers in the back were full our entire stay. I'm not even certain those containers were meant for us. By the time our stay ended, we had mounds of trash just outside the back door.
Parking was really tough. For such a large home that sleeps so many, parking is lacking. The host said there was room for "4ish vehicles". There is only room for 3 unless you drive a Mini-Cooper. We regularly had to search for legal parking for our 4th vehicle, which didn't end so well one night. I'll just say the parking signs can be a bit confusing.
The home is well stocked and there were some nice features. Remodeled bathrooms, pretty washcloths for makeup removal, 2 sets of washers and dryers, etc. It's within walking distance to shuttles and lots of shopping and food.
If you want to be among it all day and all night, this might be the perfect place for you! We prefer a bit more outdoor space, wildlife, and privacy. Don't forget to bring your pillow!!
