The Perfect CB spot!
This house was perfect for our stay!! It is just one block away from the free bus that takes you right up to the ski mountain, which made getting to/from the slopes super easy. It is also just a few blocks off main street which was perfect for enjoying the town and going out at night. The house itself was cute and clean. Great living area for everyone to hang out and be together. We would definitely book this place again!

CB Review
Property was great and as advertised. Only issues encountered were the hot tub didn't fully get warm until the last day and the lack of AC made the inside temps, especially upstairs, very hot at night to sleep. Need to provide more box fans.

Response from VrboOwner on 7 Aug 2023
Hi Lee, thank you for the feedback. :) As listed in the ad, there are only 2 homes in CB with AC. We only hit 90 for 1-2 weeks a year, and those temps drop every evening to the 50s and 60s. We have never had 100 deg weather here. Google states average July temps as 75 high and 39 low. Next time, please reach out if you need anything. There are 3 box fans and 3 smaller fans accessible in the laundry closet. The hot tub works great. You just needed to turn it on from the box on the back of the house, which was explained to you when you asked on day two of your trip. Please do reach out to me next time. I am available 24/7 and always happy to help you find things and accommodate any concerns you may have while they happen. Best wishes :) Nicole

Great location in downtown. Well equipped. Owner has done a nice job with indoor and outdoor amenities. This a duplex, and we occupied one side. We slept five comfortably. Efficient use of space. We liked it and would rent again. Owner very responsive to any needs which is a real plus.

Perfect cozy well appointed Mountain home
We felt at home! 5 adult family members enjoyed the way the house was built and decorated. Then we all appreciated how the warm and cozy den was set up for lingering around the table after dinner or the fire place for mornings coffee. The hot tub was put to use every afternoon. The location in a quiet neighborhood is close enough to all the action downtown. In a word, perfect!

Great CB cabin!
Highlights: Ten-minute walk to downtown and one block from free shuttle. Comfy beds, fully equipped kitchen, and we loved hanging out in the beautiful (and comfortable) living area. Hot tub was a great bonus! FYI: Bring your own soap and shampoo. No air conditioning, but it only got too warm in the top loft and no one was sleeping up there, so it didn’t matter. Perfect for our family of four. Peaceful and relaxing. Thanks, Nicole!

We had such a great time at this property, the hot tub was such a wonderful perk as well. There is a little loft up a ladder that my kiddos loved to play in, and we enjoyed sitting in the sun outside as well. Everything was very clean, kitchen was stocked with whatever you may need for cooking, including spices and such. 10 minute walk to town which was also nice! We thoroughly enjoyed our stay here and Nicole was a wonderful host! We will be back!

Our family of four throughly enjoyed our time at the cottage! The property had everything we needed for our week stay, from the cooking utensils to the Roku TVs to the hot tub of course! The location was perfect for accessing Rainbow Park and the trails behind it in addition to downtown along Elk Ave, whether on foot or bikes! We highly recommend the cottage for a getaway weekend or week plus stay! I also have to give a shout out to Nikki the house manager who was quick to respond to our needs and super helpful with our questions!

This property was well kept and fit our group perfectly. The location was excellent for leveraging the bus system and allowed us to enjoy some of the mountain views. The place was spotless when we arrived, and of all the VRBOs we've stayed at, house was the most well stocked. The hot tub was a pleasant surprise.

Magnificent cottage 10/10 - would stay again.
This perfect little cottage in CB is conveniently located to everything you want. Easy access to biking/hiking trails - short easy walk to Elk St restaurants/shops. Magnificent view of the Butte from the hottub was an unexpected bonus! Cottage is gorgeous, perfectly supplied, and spacious. Very grateful to the owner for allowing us to enjoy this spectacular place. Also, would definitely stay here for skiing too - easy bus shuttle to the slopes, and can walk to town after apres ski in the tub :).

Smith family vacation
We came to Crested Butte for a work trip and then spent extra time for a vacation. The property was very nice, clean and up to date. Only misleading detail was that this a duplex. I thought it was much bigger. But it really fit our family of 4 well. Being close to the center of town was really nice too. We walked lots of places and borrowed bikes from where our friends were staying. That would be my only suggestion would be to have bikes for use. Minor issue there. The kitchen is small but worked well, the grill was clutch! Used it several times. The hot tub was very nice as well. All in all we had a great time! The residents are so very welcoming and friendly. Would absolutely rent here again.

Great place to stay in CB!
We had a great stay at Nicole’s Cottage over Spring Break! This is a duplex-Chestnut Cottage on the other side-but we never heard our neighbors. The Cottage is cozy but was just the right size. Great for 2 couple and kids willing to bunk together. The full size stackable washer/dryer was much appreciated after a day of skiing. The huge highlight was that it was one block from the mountain shuttle that takes you to the ski base. The stop for the cottage was the last stop before reaching the base and the first stop on the way back-super convenient! We left our skis on the mountain and had a quick walk to the shuttle/to the cottage. The private hot tub was the perfect way to end the day and has an incredible view of Mt. Crested Butte! If you’re wanting to grab dinner in town, it’s a nice 10 minute stroll to Elk Blvd. But, If you prefer to cook at home, the kitchen was well appointed and had a few left over spices. Lots of TV options and games available as well. Sheets were nice and beds were comfortable, pillows were a bit flat but we just doubled up. Great place if you plan on visiting CB!

Expensive and not that Clean
We arrived to find the refrigerator not working with a cooler full of perishables. The owner was very quick in responding and talked me through flipping a breaker switch that was left in the off position by the dishwasher repair people. She then informed me that the dishwasher was not working (no proactive note on that so I would have had to figure that out if I had not contacted her about refrigerator). The whole cottage is small but nicely furnished. We did not find it very clean. Their were a couple of nuts and cereal pieces on the kitchen floor under counter area. Their were also crumbs on the area rug and the dining table was not clean. It definitely left an impression (and concern) for us of how clean the bedrooms, bathrooms and sheets really were. We could not lock the front door - the deadbolt would not engage and that's the only. way to lock the door. To be fair I did not complain about this or the lack of cleanliness while staying there. I didn't want the hassle. Good location, okay accomodation that is very expensive for what you get.

Thank you Julie for your feedback. The dishwasher repairman had just come before your arrive. I had not yet heard the results to provide any information. Turns out it could not be reasonable repaired. Due to COVID parts could not be ordered from China. A new dishwasher was purchased. The fridge works great and never had any problems. The repairman just forgot to switch back on the breaker connecting both to the dishwasher and the fridge. I have spoken with the cleaners about the crumbs on the floor. I am happy you found that everything else was very clean. I did have the door locked looked at and we found nothing wrong. No other guest has had an issues with it. Sometimes the keyless entry is user error. I have had to show a few guests how to use it even though it is a basic standard system. Best wishes :)

Great, cozy location close to downtown and ski bus!
Nicole's Cottage was perfect for our stay! The cottage is modern and decorated really well, the kitchen was fully stocked with anything we needed, the beds were REALLY comfortable, bathrooms were great and the location was amazing...easy walking distance to Elk Avenue and literally just a block from the Ski bus pick up. The only reason for giving it 4 stars instead of 5 is that the main living area was a lot smaller than what it looks in the photos. Also, showers had to be QUICK or the hot water begins to run out after 10 minutes. Lastly, the cottage is not a stand alone building...it is connected to another unit...and I felt the photos of the outside were a little misleading. But overall great, still highly recommended and the check in and out was so easy!

This house is in a wonderful location. It is a very comfortable place to be. The house is very nice. I cooked several times and didn’t find the kitchen to be as well stocked as some other places we have stayed. In the end with fees, cleaning and taxes, we paid 520 a night so would have expected the kitchen to have everything. In spite of that we loved our trip and the place.

We really enjoyed Nicole's Cottage. It had everything we needed for our stay, and the location can't be beat.

Great location and Property, but lacked details.
We liked the rental, had a great location and was nice inside. Also great that we could bring our dogs. However, there were a few problems. When we arrived, the hot tub was filthy and had to be drained. It was ready by our last night there and we were refunded some money for not being able to use it, but we would of liked to use it our first two nights. The Dishwasher does not work well because the soap dispenser is non functioning so it doesn't clean dishes well. The sauna was non operational. Also, there was no soap in the showers. Finally, the grill was buried in snow, but we got around this by using the neighbors grill. Again, good place, but lacked attention to detail that would have made it five stars.

Thank you Dustin, Honestly, I have gotten all positive reviews and excellent comments about the decor, comfort, and all amenity details of our Cottage. Many guests return year to year and state they love that it has every kitchen item they need. We give notice in the rental agreement the hot tub may be out of service one day weekly for routine maintenance. As mentioned, the hot tub was taken care of immediately and available the next day for use. I gave a refund based on one day without using the hot tub. We purchased a new dishwasher. The old one broke while this guest was there. The sauna works perfectly. The sauna is electrically inferred, and this guest did not plug it in. Please reach out with any questions. Warmly, Nicole

Plenty of beds, good shuttle transportation to ski hill
The Good: Lots of beds. We slept 6 adults, 2 youngsters, and had room to sleep at least 3 more adults in the loft upstairs. Would be great if the kids were old enough to make it up the treacherous ladder to get to the loft. Teenagers/older kids would love it up there. Kitchen has very good stove and oven, all modern. However, there is very little room in the kitchen for more than 1 person. 2 people max for any kind of effective cooking and cleaning. Building was very warm, and the tiles are heated. Took a while to figure out the 'right' temperature. Solid construction throughout means you don't hear your roommates walking around upstairs (but you do hear the next-door neighbors loud voices occasionally). Location is close to Elk Ave for restaurants, and very close to the shell gas station where you can catch a shuttle. We enjoyed the living room space, it was comfy, albeit seating is a bit awkward. It's not a large space, as the kitchen bar and cabinets take up a large space, but it works fine. The Bad: Shared hot tub required negotiating hot-tub time with next-door-unit guests (same building, different house). Because the hot tub is not located directly behind the next-door unit and not _this_ unit, needed to climb over 6 feet of snow to get to the hot tub. Only to be an issue during large snow falls. Kitchen was missing some basic tools like wine opener and dish washer liquid. Few other things that I cannot recall at the moment. Overall: It's a nice place and we enjoyed our stay there. Thank you. Would stay again, but should be able to find a cheaper option with similar amenities if looking early enough.

Hi Adam, thank you for the feedback. Kitchen items are continuously going missing and being replaced. After this review, I checked the house and found the wine opener and the regular dish soap ready to go. The hot tub is not shared with the next-door neighbors. This home has its own private hot tub. This year (2017) was the biggest snow year in over 15 years. The entire town was buried with nowhere to displace the snow. Snow up to the roof lines. We were barely able to keep open access to the hot tub. In February, we had to close the hot tub due to 10 ft of snow burying the hot tub and the first-story windows. It was a crazy year. There was no way around it, and it was an epic fun winter. :-)
