Gorgeous setting! Hot Tub, Close to town with private Lake

This large home which sleeps a total of 8-10, is nestled in the woods above Nicholson Lake between the town of Crested Butte and Mount Crested Butte Ski Area. This home is only 3.5 miles from town! Just a short bike ride on single track to town. The property offers spectacular mountain views in all directions, with immediate access to trails for snowshoeing and cross-country skiing, plus close proximity to downhill skiing or the town of Crested Butte, with its charming shops, pubs and restaurants. This property sits on a knoll with the gorgeous Slate River on one side and Nicholson lake on the other. Lots of supping available down the river or on the lake.

The main house has five bedrooms and 4 full bathrooms. There are 2 extra beds and a half bathroom. It offers a large dining room, breakfast nook and wonderful living/gathering space. The fully-equipped kitchen,1/2 bath, laundry and mud/gear rooms are all conveniently located on the main level. The house has five flat-screen satellite TVs, internet, a Finnish sauna and an outdoor year-round hot tub. At times it has accommodated 3 families at once. It is ideal for multiple families with so much room inside and out.

The lower level bedrooms offer a second living room with surround sound TV/DVD. Especially for children and infants are a fully equipped main house toy/game room, two “pack-'n-play” cribs, a trundle bed, two high chairs and two changing tables. For an extra charge the guest house is designed for those who'd like a private getaway, with its own bedroom with queen bed, private bath and efficiency kitchen.

For summertime guests, there is an outdoor mini-playground and camp-style marshmallow-roasting pit, as well as a great seasonal screened room adjacent to the dining room. For winter guests, snow removal service is provided, and there is a one-car garage. There is always ample driveway parking, regardless of the season ... a feature not often found with in-town and on-the-mountain rentals. We highly recommend 4WD durning the winter months
The vacation home is heated and features a kitchen, 4.5 bathrooms, and a balcony. There's space to spread out with 5 bedrooms and a dining area. Guests can expect to find free WiFi and a Smart TV with a DVD player. Other standard amenities include a washing machine, a coffee maker, and a phone.

Great location

Short drive to base area. House was a beautiful piece of construction. We all enjoyed our stay very much. Thanks for a fantastic week in a special ski town with a one of a kind mountain.

Great location, great house, great stay!

Property as described and Elizabeth was super easy and accommodating to a few special requests. All 5 of us had a comfortable private bedroom. Snow removal was seamless, and location was equidistant from the ski resort and downtown. No public transport options in this area, so AWD rental car is a must.

Ski week

Beautiful house and view. E. Smith was easy to communicate with. Kitchen is well stocked. Hot tub and sauna were used almost every night. Very roomy for the nine of us. The only downside to the quiet beautiful lot is that it is 20 minutes from either ski resort or town. The road was plowed and two wheel drive would suffice.

Great place to stay

Wonderful house to say near crested butte. About a 10 min drive to either town or ski mountain. House was very pleasant with beautiful views, well stocked kitchen, plenty of bedrooms (2 upstairs and 4 in the basement). Communication was excellent with easy check in and check out. Would happily stay here again. We spent plenty of time in the hot tub and you could snowshoe right from the house.

Lovely home in a beautiful setting! The home accommodated two families easily.

We cooked our meals and so appreciated pantry basics, spices, well-stocked kitchen in general! The sauna and spa were a lovely bonus-great for sore ski legs! Again, this is a lovely home in a beautiful setting. We appreciated 3 master bedrooms as well as the flexible sleeping spaces. Some suggestions: it was disconcerting that so much of the owners' personal belongings were there-clothes in closets and drawers, lots of family pictures, etc. In addition, the beds and bedding were not consistent for the price point for this house. All should be updated. We enjoyed the family room but the seating was generally uncomfortable; again, not consistent with the price point. Given the updates we would rent again.

Amazing vacation and very close to the ski are

We really enjoyed our staying in this house. After ski days the hot tub and sauna was the best part. We had plenty of room...big kitchen and a nice dinning area with a piano. First floor had a nice audio system for watching movies!!!They had everywhere lot of games for the guests left. We had no time to play them all :) The house is in a private area, quite and amazingly we actually had more snow then any other neighborhoods, saying so because we went there before New Year and in 7 days not even once snowed there unfortunately.So all the snow was from before we got there. The only suggestions I have to the owner are: 1.for the winter holidays at least some decorations or a small Christmas tree to wait in there for the guests...for the atmosphere...i mean its that magic time of the year 2.provide each room with an air humidifier, the air was super dry ,which made the sleep at night uncomfortable 3.make sure the refrigerator it's left totally empty for each guest. P.s We recommend the house and would go back again thanks to Elizabeth,the person who was taking care of the property...our vacation was facilitated, she would answer all our calls, give us advices what fun to do there in town, where to find the groceries, ski passes,equipment ,etc...if I didn't mention earlier for most of us this was our first ski vacation,so we did need a good guide :) Thank you Elizabeth again.
