2 Bed 2 Bath, parking, convenience of Downtown CB on a Budget. Pets! Shuttle!
.
Welcome to the Crystal Creek condo! Enjoy a fully stocked kitchen, and clean, convenient, affordable accommodations, just steps from the Free Shuttle and Grocery Store for less $ than a hotel room!
If you are looking for value in the town of Crested Butte but not looking to compromise on location, this is your perfect property. This comfy and clean condo is within walking distance to all of Historic Downtown’s shops, restaurants, and entertainment, and a stones throw from the grocery store, the Center for the Arts, Town Park, and right on the free Mt. Express shuttle stop which runs to the base area of Mt. Crested Butte every 15 minutes.
The first floor is home to two bedrooms (one King and one Queen). Both rooms have large closets for your belongings. There is also a full bathroom on this floor.
Upstairs, on the second level, is the recently upgraded kitchen with brand new stainless steel appliances, new dining sets and glasses, and all the utensils you need for whipping up a meal.
The bright and sunny living area offers an open feel and a large LCD T.V. to watch your favorite movies and shows, and comfortable seating. As well, dedicated and secure wireless internet has been included with this condo. Another full bath is located on this level. This property sleeps up to four people. Well-behaved pets are welcome. (An additional fee of $100 per pet+ tax will apply.) Please note that the HOA has a strict, 1 dog maximum limit, max weight 50lb (sorry no cats).
Please note that this incredibly convenient and affordable unit sits adjacent to an unpaved alleyway (not uncommon in Crested Butte,) so the parking lot may get dusty on dry Summer days. Additionally, like most Condominium Complexes in the heart of Downtown, expect to see and hear neighbors and fellow visitors in the immediate vicinity during normal hours during peak season, though nights are generally quiet, as this unit is 3 blocks from Elk Avenue, home to Downtown’s many restaurants and watering holes.
We are always happy and willing to assist with ski and bike rentals and to share our local knowledge.

Our stay at this property was fantastic! Close to the main drag so everything is extremely walkable. Right across the street from a large open space to let the dog stretch its’ legs during work from home days. Highly recommend this property; it’s everything we needed for our trip to CB.
The location is great being right next to the market and the shuttle stop. The host responded very quickly to our messages. As other reviews have mentioned a mat inside the door would be handy for snowy and muddy boots. And a ski locker would be ideal since it's a ski town. But overall we enjoyed the stay and would return.
My kids and I enjoyed being in town and so close to everything Crested Butte has to offer. The condo was clean and had all the kitchen amenities available to make it easy to make our own meals. The management company was very responsive when we needed assistance and the accommodations suited our needs nicely!
Great spot, in downtown CB on a budget that's pet friendly - didn't think it was possible! Clean spot, loved accessibility to bus, market & Elk Ave. The plumbing was a little finicky, but Sean addressed it immediately. He's lovely!

Spring getaway
Property location is great. It could use some updates but was clean and well kept. It would have been nice to have snow cleared at the front entry and a rug/mat inside the door to help manage snow and dirt that is easily tracked in. Check in info was confusing because the driving link they sent gave us an inaccurate address and no unit number. When I messaged the morning of our arrival asking for this info they told me it would be emailed later in the day when unit was cleaned. When we arrived 2 hours after the check in time we still had not received the accurate address and unit number and had to spend time hunting down someone to give us that info verbally over the phone. Overall stay was good.
What I loved:
1. The Location: This condo is directly across the street from the grocery store, and close to downtown Crested Butte, the Arts Center, and meeting places for the Wildflower Festival classes.
2. The set-up: There are 2 bedrooms downstairs and a bathroom. Upstairs is open with another bathroom, a small kitchen, a dining area, and a living room.
3. The communication from the managing company (Watchdog Vacation Rentals) was excellent. There were a few minor issues that came up and they were on it, taking care of anything & answering in a timely fashion.
What I liked:
1. The furniture was comfortable.
2. The beds were comfortable. I appreciated having the king size bed, even if it was a little tight. (The other bedroom has a queen bed.)
3. The kitchen was adequately supplied with pots, pans,and appliances.
What could be improved:
1. Although it had been cleaned, it had that grimy appearance that happens with seasons of use. (Dirty grout, worn & stained area rugs, chips and stains in doors and cabinets). That being said, this is a dusty area and there’s no way to keep that out of the condo.
2. The decor is a mish-mash and the cabinets are worn and old. The place has a very heavy, uninviting atmosphere - could use updates/a little HGTV touch needed.)
3. There is no air conditioning which is not an issue - but needs window screens!
THE GOOD NEWS: According to the property team, a major upgrade at the end of the season. 5 stars then!
Condo was great! Walking distance to everything in downtown Crested Butte. We enjoyed being close to the market across the street. Condo had everything we needed and was very clean. Host was quick to respond to questions. Looking forward to staying here again!
Loved crested butte, and this property was easy and close to town. We didn’t use our car once, just biked and walked. We booked last min but overall were pleased with our stay
Perfect split-level condo with an excellent location, easy parking, and solid access to downtown and across from the grocery store. Would def stay again
Overall nice place. Had everything we needed to be comfortable and close to downtown. Very noisy as it was next to construction so kind of detracted from the mountain experience. Also the listing photo leads you to believe it’s alot newer and more modern. Overall pleasant experience.
First, this place was great. Good location, nice beds, clean place. Heather was very nice and enjoyed talking to her.
Crested Butte is awesome also. Slightly run down building. It's my first VRBO experience so this may be standard practice, but the fees were a huge turn off. I paid almost double the advertised rate. Rules are posted everywhere also, which if you don't follow you may incur another fee...

Liked: Check-in, communication, location
Many problems, but great location
List of disappointments:
No TV guide
No key for deadbolt
No plug for bathtub
Hall rug lower level filthy
Upper level very hot
Too few hangers
Not as nice as it looked in the photos
Views were of parking lots, windows very dirty
Handyman Alex was right on the job. Kudos to him.
Conveniently located with nice view. Well ventilated comfortable living room. Older furniture still comfortable. Only 2 glasses and 2 cups in kitchen. Stairway carpet badly stained. Patio is not really sittable...narrow and inside view so no attractive outdoor seating. Lots of gravel and mud around parking and entry so hard to keep clean. Beds comfortable but sheets and blankets older and a little shabby. Dog friendly. Functional and worked fine for us. Would recommend as good spot for dog friendly vacation. Thanks
You can’t beat the location. Right next to the grocery store, living room looks directly at mt. crested butte. Just a few blocks to downtown, basically everything is walking distance. The house of was clean and had all the necessities.
The one con I will say is the downstairs where the 2 bedrooms are had a musty smell.
