Allergy Free Home-Please No Pets The Property: 1,350 Sq Ft | 3 Bedrooms | 2 Full Baths | Central Location | Private Patio | Street & Alley Parking
Built in 1886, our light-filled home is a true gem and an ideal mountain gateway that boasts a rustic interior, a pristine kitchen with new appliances, and a spacious patio with a grill and a fire pit. Ample privacy is provided by the towering pine tree and a row of lilac bushes. It's a piece of history lovingly restored to offer you a unique and unforgettable stay. The interior features original hardwood floors and exposed log walls that transport you to a bygone era. Experience the charm of yesteryear without sacrificing the conveniences of today.
The house has undergone several expansions over time, resulting in additional structures being attached to the original log home. Which also added a few steps to navigate up and down throughout the first floor. The bedrooms were built in 1939, and the mudroom/bar area was added in 1953. They didn't have master bathrooms back then. The first-floor bathroom is closer to the kitchen and mud room. The combination of the new structures with the original log cabin creates a captivating living space with unique characteristics.

Ski Bungalow during Crested Butte vacation
The property was perfect for our needs! We stayed here while commuting up to Crested Butte to ski each day. The house was cozy and had everything we needed. We had fun noticing everything that had been purchased at IKEA, haha. We even utilized the washer and dryer in the basement. The entire trip was so much fun!

Great getaway!
We had a blast in Gunnison again, this property was perfect for our group of 5. The property is cute, very clean, close to everything in town.
There are quite a few steps in the home between living areas, I’m sure it was noted in the pictures, but for grandparents with us it was a bit challenging. Also, the main bath is not connected to the main bedroom meaning steps to be navigated during the night.Not a negative, just something to be aware of :)

A unique stay Gunnison
This was a unique place to stay and I mean that in the best way possible! The house is a mixture of historical elements and modern comfort with a unique layout. The beds were comfortable, the neighborhood quiet and the house was stocked with everything we needed. AND…we got to share the yard with a family of deer!!! It was amazing to look out the window and see the deer eating leaves off the bushes and then helping themselves to a nap in the sunshine. SO COOL!
