About this property

FAMOUS LICENSE PLATE HOUSE - Best location in town!

Crested Butte Business License - #001252

THE BEST POSSIBLE LOCATION!!! In the heart of downtown Crested Butte, 50 feet from the main street, Elk Avenue and all the best retail and restaurants, and two blocks from the bus stop to Mount Crested Butte and the Mount Crested Butte Ski Area. With the best local coffee shop right next door, and across the street from the health food store and massage studios, this location cannot be beat! Just two blocks from almost every restaurant in town and GREAT people watching.

The nicest, two bedroom, two bath, rental home in town, a single family home, not a duplex or a townhouse. Historic building exquisitely renovated in 1993. Complete with 20-foot vaulted ceilings, hardwood floors, two gas-log fireplaces, king memory foam matress in the downstairs bedroom and queen memory foam mattress in the upstairs bedroom, SUPER comfortable Tempurpedic queen sleeper sofa (no bars or springs), complete kitchen including Kitchen Aid and Bosch SS appliances and waffle iron, coffee maker, blender etc. There is also a washer and dryer, two-person jetted tub, and large tile steam shower.
The entertainment center in the living room includes a 46' LED HDTV with a nine-speaker, surround-sound stereo system with volume controls in the master bedroom, master bath and outside patio. Also in the master bedroom is a 40' LED HDTV; the upstairs bedroom has a 32' LED HDTV.

There is a natural gas BBQ grill just outside your door and an outdoor heater on the large patio for those chilly summer nights or morning coffee on the patio!

There are two on-site parking spaces at the house.

You will not believe the contrast from the historic and famous exterior to the luxurious interior!

No pets allowed.

All funds sent are non-refundable upon receipt.

Thanks!

Perfect location in town of Crested Butte

The license plate house is a perfect location for a couple or two couples to enjoy Crested Butte. House is very clean and has everything needed for a perfect spot. #1 Coffee house right next door if definitely a plus!

Great stay at the license plate house!

This location cannot be beat! The house was clean, well stocked, comfortable beds, and full of unique art/decor. We loved the coffee shop next door, small grocery store across the street, walk a couple blocks to the free town bus stop, and walk to all restaurants in town. We would gladly stay here again.

This was our second stay in the license plate house and we will definitely make plans to return in the future. We enjoy the location in the middle of town with a short drive to ski slopes. The accommodations are comfortable and check in was seamless. 100 percent recommend!

Great location within walking distance to everything in town. House did not have a hot tub as I expected. Rather it had a two-person jetted tub in the bathroom.

Amazing property and location

My family and I stayed at this property over New Years and it could not have been better. The location cannot be beat and we were able to walk to dinner and shops daily. There is even a coffee shop next door. It is a short drive or bus ride to the slopes for skiing. My family would def stay here again and are already looking to book another stay.

Best house in town

We were so excited to stay at this iconic location. We weren't quite sure what to expect, the pictures on VRBO were good...we walked into the most inviting and cozy home. Plenty of space for 4 adults. Very comfortable beds. The location is absolutely THE BEST! Camp4 right next door...you are in the heart of downtown. Easy access to everything. It was a fantastic visit!

perfect Crested Butte rental

The house and location can't be beat! Roll out in the morning to grab delicious coffee next door, take advantage of the great market across the street, explore Elk Avenue shops, and have a short walk home from many restaurants. Oh, and it was super easy to drive up to the mountain for skiing.

vacation in a snowy paradise

This property is the best we've ever stayed at in Crested Butte. The location is perfect, being right in downtown and close to all the restaurants, shops and additional activities, besides skiing. Susan has provided everything you might need and has the house decorated wonderfully and communicated with us easily about check in and tips about the house. I am a travel agent and appreciate the wonderful lodging and would be glad to recommend it to anyone interested in staying in Crested Butte. Thanks again Susan

Magical Christmas in Crested Butte

We wanted to spend Christmas in the mountains and decided on Crested Butte. We booked this property back in the Summer and could wait to check it out. It surpassed our expectations and we now can’t wait to go back. Susan was a fabulous host, always accessible (not that we ever needed anything, the house was so well equipped) and she communicated everything we needed right on time. The house was clean and so cozy. It was perfect for my wife and I and our 11 year old daughter. It would have also worked if our older son could’ve joined us. It is located right in the middle of everything, so convenient. We rode the bus up to the mountain almost everyday to ski, which runs the route every 15 min. I could go on and on about how much we love this place. We will definitely be back.

Everything we expected!

Our family has been coming to Cresta butte for years and always marveled at the license plate house. We were very fortunate to be able to stay for a long weekend and enjoy everything that being in downtown Crested Butte has to offer. The house is wonderful to stay in, very clean, and we had no problems at all. Communication with the property manager was seamless and we would definitely stay again at this wonderful, one-of-a-kind property!
