About this property

Maroon Bells / A Bit of Crested Butte History/Only One Block off Elk! Hot Tub!

  • Maroon Bells is a piece of Crested Butte history that you don`t want to miss. Owned by the same family for over 25 years, this late 1800`s cabin is rooted deep in the history books of Crested Butte. Through the years it even found time to be a bicycle repair shop! Lovingly restored and back to a fantastic family home, the location can`t be beat! Right in the middle of the historic district and only 1 block from Elk Avenue, this 4 bedroom, 4 bath home with private HOT TUB is sure to be your family`s base for many memorable Crested Butte vacations!

    Step inside this spacious home and discover the definition of "comfort." With fantastic beds, a huge sunken HOT TUB, and a large yard, there is plenty of room for the whole family, (10 to be exact). The open living, kitchen, and dining area assure that everyone is a part of the action while that heated game of "go fish" is being played out on the large dining room table. On the first level you will also find the master bedroom with king bed and private master bath.There is a queen bedroom on this level along with two full baths and a laundry room.

    Upstairs you will find two separate bedrooms. The one on the front part of the home has a queen bed and two twins. The second master suite is on the back of the house and has a queen bed, private bath, and it`s own outdoor deck. This room boasts the most incredible views in the house of the surrounding mountains to the North of Crested Butte. Outside you will find a large yard and a private covered hot tub to relax after a long day skiing, hiking, or just shopping! Whatever your activity or season in Crested Butte, load up the family, friends, and even the kids, and enjoy the comfort of Maroon Bells!

The Maroon Bells VRBO was a fantastic stay! The location couldn’t have been better—just one block off Main Street, making it incredibly convenient to walk to all the great restaurants, shops, and local attractions. We especially loved being within easy walking distance to Camp 4 Coffee, which quickly became our favorite morning stop. The home was comfortable, well-appointed, and perfectly situated for exploring everything the area has to offer. Highly recommend!

Great Accommodation in CB

Stayed here with family members for our son’s wedding in CB. The house was exactly as described - very roomy, well equipped, clean, and a super location right in town. The hot tub and the large back yard allowed us to also enjoy the beautiful weekend outdoors - the littles were able to run to their hearts content and swim in hot tub. Highly recommend for families looking to come together but have some privacy as well.

Almost everything was excellent and just as described. Amazingly well stocked kitchen with more than enough glasses and dishes for a full house. Incredible location. Loads of space. The only drawback with the hot tub which appeared less than clean on arrival (slightly green). I will say that the management were immediately responsive to my questions about it and sent out the hot tub cleaners to check it out the same day. I would definitely recommend staying here and would happily come back.

Great location, sleeping arrangements could use some work

Great location in the town of Crested Butte. Could walk to anything. Bedrooms and beds were very disappointing. Mattresses squeaked loudly upon any movement and two bedrooms had no doors. For the price, the house could use some updating.

Christmas trip 2024

Our family of 8 had a great stay at Maroon Bells over Christmas. The property management was great to work with prior to and during our visit. I would have given all 5 stars, but we did have problems with the hot tub, and unfortunately were not able to use it successfully for most of the stay, circuit breaker kept shutting it down. Maintenance was sent twice to restart, but unfortunately due to the holidays a repair was not able to be scheduled until after we left. I trust this will be fixed for future renters. The location, close to the free bus stop to ski slopes, and right in town was perfect for walking anywhere we needed. We did not have a car and did not miss one. The house was well stocked for cooking. Our beds were comfortable. Our group enjoyed our Christmas in Created Butte and our rental at Marion Bells.

Thoroughly enjoyed our stay at Maroon Bells. The house was comfortable and close to all the wonderful restaurants and shops that Crested Butte offers. The backyard was a plus and the hot tub was wonderful !! It would have been nice to have chairs on the upstairs deck.

Great spot in the heart of Crested Butte

We couldn't have asked for a better spot. It was just the four of us so we had lots of room to spread out. I wouldn't hesitate to come back with a group twice as big. The location, the cleanliness, and the amenities were perfect for our three days. We usually like to try new places but we will strongly consider renting this same place again.

Ski Trip with Friends

This house was perfect for our ski trip! It was very close to the main street so we were able to walk to everything and it was also close to the bus stop for MT. Crested Butte. We have 9 people total and there were plenty of bedrooms/bathrooms. The kitchen was equipped with everything needed to make a big family meal! I would definitely stay here again.

This house and it's location in town was excellent. Only a block away from restaurants and shops. Very short walk to anything and everything. It was accurately described in the VRBO description and perfectly met he needs of our family. It was extremely well appointed. Complete and matching sets of ample wine glasses (approx 12), cocktail glasses, dishes, and flatware. Multiple toasters (that worked). We've stayed in many rentals before where there was a hodgepodge of kitchenware. It's very clear this owner takes pride in their rental and the experience of their guests. The house had everything we needed and it felt like a true home for the week of our vacation. And the management company - IronHorse - was very responsive when we needed assistance. And the check-in instructions and communication prior to our arrival was clear and covered everything to set us up for an easy move in. I highly recommend this house for a vacation in Crested Butte!

Our stay at Maroon Bells

We had a fantastic stay at Maroon Bells. The process of booking the stay thru VRBO was very simple. And the communication with Iron Horse via email was excellent. The house was very clean and neat. The house was bigger than expected and we had plenty of space to move about. The most awesome thing about the house is it’s location- just one block off the Main Street. So close to shopping, eating and all the other cool things that make up Crested Butte. Some of our other family stayed further away, but they ended gathering at Maroon Bells due to its proximity to the downtown area. Overall, we only had one complaint- and this isn’t really a complaint- the house on the website was beige, while in reality it had gotten a fresh coat of blue paint! The new color has just added to its charm.

Great location Cute Place

Great place to stay. All was really wonderful except the contact person was very unfriendly, that's a first for Crested Butte. The house was open for an early check in, but she told us we could not check in. With temperatures in sub zero (worried about wine freezing an exploding in -10 degrees), we landed with a 5 hour wait to check into the house. She never offered to place luggage in the hallway of the house and when asked very politely if it was possible, she said no! We drove by the place twice to see if the maids would care and it was completely cleaned and ready to go. We could have checked in at any time once arrived. Poor customer service and attitude for such a nice little town.

We stayed at the house with another family and had a blast. The house had everything we needed to cook meals. The upstairs area with queen and twin beds was the perfect room for kids to sleep together. The hot tub was such fun for the kids. You are right in town and don’t even need to use your car. Great playground nearby. Highly recommend!
