We enjoyed this stay, house was clean and well stocked. Perfect location to the mountain shuttle. Steam shower was an extra bonus. Very comfortable for our family of 3.
Great little Carriage House, just steps from downtown Crested Butte…..just a block from shops, restaurants, coffee and brewery! Amazing mountain views from the upstairs living area, perfect space for my husband and myself and our 3 year old Labrador. Sitting on the chaise lounge every morning with coffee looking out at the mountains Very clean, bed was very comfortable with nice bedding. Stocked kitchen, towels, paper products Would definitely stay again
This small cottage is in an excellent location in downtown Crested Butte. It is nicely furnished and just a few blocks walk to shops and restaurants. The bed in the main bedroom was so comfortable and we loved the steam shower!
We had a wonderful stay overall. The home was clean, well-equipped, and in a great location. Communication was easy, and everything worked as expected.The only downside for us was the bedding. The queen beds were quite soft, and the pillows looked fluffy but compressed almost completely flat once you put your head on them. Unfortunately, we didn’t sleep well during our 4-night stay because of this. We woke up with backaches every morning. I even had to place an extra pillow under my entire back to get a little more support, which helped only slightly.Our friends mentioned that the twin beds were quite firm, but they still preferred them over the very soft queen beds. We think the mattresses and pillows could benefit from an upgrade, as improving the sleeping experience would make an otherwise excellent property even better.Other than the bed and pillow comfort, everything else was excellent, and we really enjoyed our time here.
Well equipped, quaint cottage with everything we needed for a short stay in CB! Great location, nicely furnished, and amazing and prompt communication with Paula. Will definitely stay here again!
My family had a wonderful time staying in the carriage house. The property was very inviting, clean and had everything we wanted. The location is just a few blocks from downtown and all restaurants and shopping. I highly recommend this property for those looking for a relaxing place to stay.
This place worked out perfectly. A short walk to downtown Crested Butte and even shorter walk to the free shuttle to the mountain. This place has the most well-stocked kitchen of an vacation rental we've stayed at, it was great. And the host was great as well, very responsive and helpful.
Great place and great location. Small issue because smart door lock didn’t work on check in but we called and had a key in hand in minutes. Place has everything you need to cook up a great meal and enjoy Crested Butte. Hosts were also great to communicate with
This property was a true gem. My husband and I and one of our adult daughters spent 5 days here and loved every minute. The house was the perfect size for us and very clean with great kitchen amenities. The location, 3 blocks from town and one block from the bus stop to the mountain, is ideal. There are also plenty of hiking trails just a short walk from the property. We would definitely stay here again!
Location - IDEAL! So close to ski bus, easy walk to everything in town.Host - Spot On! Communication was timely, accurate and plentiful. There are helpful notes posted around the house too. Accommodations - Felt like home! The cozy carriage home had everything we needed; the bedding was super comfortable and everything we used worked with no issues. The home is decorated beautifully! While it was a little smaller in size than would have been ideal , the hosts did an amazing job providing all amenities and once we settled in,we forgot how close the quarters were. Thank you and we hope to return!
This house has two stories and nice amenities. It is small, but you will not sacrifice! It is in a perfect location downtown to walk and shop or catch the bus to go up the mountain! It has nice showers, beds, and a small kitchen.
The living room was great for the three of us! I would not plan to do a lot of washing clothes. The dryer takes a while to dry! So, be prepared! The art, travel souvenirs, and decor are amazing!
Second time staying here and great experience again. Perfect location, a few blocks from Elk. The outdoor space with direct views of Mt CB are beautiful and unobstructed. Plenty of space for a couple. Owner is very responsive and we always love the bubbles left for us! Will stay again.
Our family of 4 really enjoyed our stay here. The location is superb! The place had everything we needed including a warm, cozy atmosphere for family time.
Paula's house is adorable and a perfect fit for a getaway. We enjoyed being so close to all the food, trails, shops and loved the breathtaking views from the house. Additionally, the house had amazing amenities with washer/dryer, snacks and household items readily available for us. We hope to be back soon!
This house was perfect for our late summer visit to Crested Butte. The very best location, the owner and house manager were so professional and helpful, and such a cozy and comfortable home made our visit the best!

Great house, great location!
We stayed there with our two teenage kids during a ski trip and had a blast. The location was perfect and the town bus stop was right there. Loved the cozy house (especially the radiant heated floor and the steam shower in the master was the best after a long day skiing. Would definitely stay here next visit!
The house is lovely and cozy. The kitchen is functional and well-stocked. The location is perfect- easy and quick walk to the shuttle bus, nice walk to town, close to xc ski trail. The views of the mountains are spectacular!
Couldn't have been more pleased with the experience. The property was beautiful...Location was perfect....and the owner and property manager were so accommodating! I hope to be able to come back.
