About this property

Walking Distance to Everything! Hiking, Skiing, Biking, Great Food & Shopping!

  • CHARMING 3 BR VICTORIAN IN THE HISTORIC DISTRICT!
    Walking distance to shopping, great food, skiing, hiking. and so much more.

    Imagine sitting in the sunroom, on the patio or on our handmade, outdoor love seat with a cup of coffee or glass of wine as you enjoy the fantastic view of mountains, flower gardens, and relax after a full day of fun!

    Kate's Place is located in the Crested Butte historic district, one half block off Elk Ave., main street. Kate's Place was shipped to CB in 1922 by train as one of the first original Montgomery Ward's kit homes. It was erected by a local miner with the help of friends and neighbors. The home is named after Kate Starika who shared letters with the lonely miner and agreed to marry him after he provided her with a respectable home.

    The home was restored in the early 80's and was recognized by the Board of zoning and Architectural Review as the best example of historical renovation completed that year in CB.

    "We tried to maintain as much of the historical integrity as possible. The renovation was a labor of love." As much of the original wood trim, flooring and light fixtures were retained. Beautiful leaded glass doors and side panels were designed in Dallas to fit the new entrance way into home and the wonderful enclosed sunroom. The perfect place to relax after a day of skiing, hiking, biking or shopping in town. The most wonderful element of the home is it's location...walking distance to all the beauty and charm of Crested Butte.

    Kate's Place is cozy and comfortable with furniture designed to spread out and relax. When you come to CD you want to relax and enjoy the large and private yard, patio, and outdoor furniture that provides another great space to chill!

    Kate's Place is licensed by the town of Crested Butte, license no 12755. Yearly the property is inspected to make sure all safety rules and regulations are followed.
    This assures you and your family of a safe, clean property for you vacation needs.

Another Great Stay

This was our third stay at this property and we always enjoy the proximity to everything south CB has to offer, in addition to ease of exiting the neighborhood for hiking and fishing in the area. The cleanliness of the house improved from our last visit, and our only issue was getting into the house with the code provided, but it was resolved fairly quickly.

Wedding weekend

A great place to stay in Crested Butte. Super location - quiet block very near all town attractions. Comfortable beds and super well stocked kitchen. Upstairs main bedroom suite was great. We were in town for my son’s wedding and great backyard and deck served as a wonderful place to sit and visit with family who came in for wedding. We would love to stay here again when we return for another visit.

Cute & Eclectic

Location is excellent! Short walk to all the shops/restaurants. House is cute and eclectic. Stocked with all the things you might need. Price was great! For those looking to stay at this property - please note that that the bedroom with the bunk bed is extremely small... not much space to move around. The bunk bed is only suitable for very small children. Our 6-year old slept on the bottom bunk, but it was such a low clearance that she would hit her head when trying to sit up or get in/out of the bed. Additionally - the back door of the home is in this same bedroom - which I will admit, was a bit unsettling being that our children were sleeping in this room. All in all - a great stay! Thank you for sharing your property with us!

Perfect cottage.

Adorable cottage, beautifully decorated in perfect location of CB. Walkable everywhere, lovely gardens, clean, comfortable furniture, and well appointed. Interesting art and creative use of space.I have rented many times in CB, and this is the best.My only issue: I misread: "King-bed, 2" means one king-bed to sleep 2 people. Not 2 king-beds.
