About this property

Private guesthouse on elk!

Free-standing, Private guest house behind main house, in the alley, yet still on the main drag (Elk Ave) in downtown CB. Cozy studio with all the amenities of a big house, but intimate enough for a couple's getaway. Close to everything downtown and only 1.5 blocks from the bus at the "4-way Stop" on Elk ave. Access to the shared yard, townie bikes, and BBQ in the summertime. 1/2 block to Rainbow park and 1.5 blocks to entire town :)

Great little place close to downtown.

Came into town for daughter’s College graduation. The Cloud Cottage was in a great location, very clean and we had such an enjoyable stay. Sasha was great to work with and allowed us to check in a little early. Plan on staying there the next time we get to visit our daughter.

Great stay in Crested Butte!

This property was perfect for a weekend getaway for me and my wife! We could walk to everywhere in Crested Butte. The place felt more spacious than I thought it would due to the Murphy bed and it had everything you needed in the small space (kitchen, laundry, etc). We already plan to go back next year and hope to stay here again.

Disappointing

The hostess is nice and the check in was easy but there is much wrong here. Right next door there is some kind of data center that looks like a house but has sealed windows and noisy equipment that runs all night. How this got put in a residential neighborhood is a mystery. The house heater was extremely noisy, the lighting inadequate and there were loose tiles in the bath that seemed to cover an access opening to under the house. These were covered by a loose rug and were unstable. The 4 p.m. check-in and 10 am checkout hardly leave time to relax. It's not a terrible place for a heavy sleeper not planning to spend much time there, but it's disappointing at best. On the plus side there is a washer and dryer and some helpful kitchen essentials and condiments, etc. The neighborhood is fine, except for the data center or whatever it is.

Nice Little Studio

The back alley studio had everything we needed to cook our meals as the kitchen is well stocked, and it stayed warm and cozy when the temps dropped below 0F during our stay. The location was also very convenient for us to go cross country and skate skiing.

About the host

Hosted by Sasa Watt

Host profile image
I'm a true local, having grown up in Crested Butte, moved away after high school and am finally back after 21 years! I've lived all over the US as well as overseas, but on July 4th, 2016 I moved back from LA where I was working as an accountant for TV and film. Now I run my new company, Jamie's Jerky, with my father, bringing the world the best Grass Fed Beef Jerky and Turkey Jerky. LA was my home for 7.5 years(never thought I'd say that) and I lived in a great house where I started my first Airbnb...I am really sad to have left that house, but it was time to move on. The last few years I hosted out of houses I was renting, but as of Oct 2018, I am finally a home owner in CB and can create a home I truly care about! I'm super chill and can't wait to share my new home in my old hometown with new people and new faces. Opening my house to new and returning guests brings a smile to my face... hoping you all can feel at home while on your vacation :)

Why they chose this property

It's a stand alone guest house that has all of the amenities you need while on vacation. Close to everything... and I mean everything.

What makes this property unique

This cottage house is in a quiet, family only, neighborhood with a private entrance off the alley. 1/2 block from Rainbow park, 1.75 blocks to the "4-way" bus stop to take you up the mountain for biking and snow-fun-times, and 1.75 blocks to the beginning of the main drag... Elk avenue.
I have bikes you can use to cruise around town with, a huge backyard and BBQ (all are shared with main house.)
