Coal Creek Cabin/CB's Coolest Cabin Featured in Magazines/Hot tub On Coal Creek!
This home is without a doubt one of the most spectacular vacation rentals you will find anywhere. Lovingly restored with no detail overlooked, this log cabin located in the historical district of Crested Butte and situated right on Coal Creek will wrap you in comfort and luxury. Constructed with local craftmen and utilizing reclaimed barnwood and logs this home has details you won`t find anywhere else. For instance, all of the the door-knobs, towel bars, and drawer pulls were architectural salvage finds from turn of the century buildings in New York. Being positioned right on Coal Creek a person can open almost any window in the home and listen to the sounds of the soothing water outside. Better yet, step outside onto any of the 3 decks, one with a private Hot Tub, and let the spectacular setting take the stress away. After all, life in Crested Butte runs at a slower pace.
Stepping inside this cabin on Coal Creek will undoubtedly take your breath away. On the first floor you will step into the great room which consists of the living, dining and kitchen areas designed so that everyone is a part of the action. There is access to 2 of the outdoor living areas off this level as well as the master bedroom with king bed and incredible master bath with custom soaking tub!. The kitchen is a gourmet cook`s dream with Sub-Zero fridge, Wolf Range and appliances, and jaw dropping Downsview Cabinetry in a custom barn red color! The custom island is great to gather around at the end of the day and the custom butcher block counter tops on the wet bar are a thing of beauty. In the living room, wrap yourself in leather luxury and enjoy a movie on the huge flat panel or just toss some logs in the wood-burning fireplace and enjoy a cocktail with the sounds of smooth jazz on the stereo.
Take a trip up the stairs and don`t miss the custom iron work painstakenly created by local craftsmen. Upstairs you will find two bedrooms and a full bath with a shower made out of tin and river rock! (You have to see it to believe it.) There is a king bed in the second bedroom with it`s own private deck overlooking Coal Creek. The third bedroom is furnished with custom log beds consisting of a king and two twins. Need to do laundry, there is an oversized laundry room with full size washer and dryer on this level and well. Just looking to relax then grab a novel and enjoy the quiet reading loft tucked away on the landing.
Outdoors you will find extensive decks to enjoy our 300 days plus of sunshine a year. The back deck has a fabulous hot tub right next to Coal Creek and the front deck is equipped with a gas grill for those trout you caught earlier in the day, and a fire pit to gather around and recap your adventures! All of this only a few minutes walk to the heart of Crested Butte`s world class dining and shopping. A one-of-a-kind log cabin, a hot tub on the creek, world class fishing, skiing, and hiking, all add up to a well deserved vacation here in Crested Butte!

Place had everything u can possibly think of! Awesome beds, kitchen FULLY stocked and hot tub a step out side door. 5 minute walk til you hit places to eat on Elk
We had an amazing time at the Cabin on Coal Creek. It fit our family of 6 perfectly and had all the things to make us feel comfortable for the Thanksgiving holiday. Great location with a short work to downtown and hiking trails. Absolutely perfect for our family and we hope to come back soon.
I actually am a little conflicted giving a review on this property as I want to keep it my secret. Truly an outstanding property top to bottom. Rustic and high end all in one. Perfectly located just a few blocks from Main St. Couldn’t have wished for a better place to spend a snowy Thanksgiving with the family.
We loved our 10 day stay in Crested Butte on Coal Creek. We loved hearing the creek as we sat outside or slept in the very comfy beds. The home was very well equipped with everything we needed. Very relaxing!! We’d definitely stay again. Hope we can in the near future.
Seven nights at your lovely abode. My brother and his family and me and most of my family. We cooked great meals at the house and spent lots of time listening to the creek outdoors. Best of locations and very comfortable beds.

Fantastic place ! Perfectly stocked, beautiful and in an awesome location! Really a great place and a great trip !
We’ve stayed in multiple properties in CB, but this was our very favorite! Loved hearing the river flowing! And perfect location. Every detail in this home, from design to function, was perfect! We’ll be back!
A lovely log cabin located right on coal creek. This fit our group perfectly and could not have been an easier/stress-free stay, especially with the creek babbling right next to the house. Everything was user friendly and easy to find. The kitchen is truly set for everything you need. I have never seen so many appliances, accessories and kitchen supplies available for VRBO guests. Would definitely recommend and stay here again. Seamless check in and check out process. The hot tub and patios are so relaxing, peaceful and private. Even though it is on the road to Kepler Pass, the traffic was never an issue. It was actually a benefit being able to go straight out of the door and start a nice hike.

Awesome place
Second time to rent this beautiful rustic cabin that literally sits on top of Coal Creek. What a labor of love it was to position the cabin there!! It is fabulous. From the outdoor fire pit to the hot tub sitting 3 feet from the creek it’s just perfect. The property is well stocked and Iron Horse is easy to work with and efficient. Great stay in CB both times!!

Slice of heaven....peace,beauty, joy and happiness on a corner in the quaintest town in America.
Truly a piece of heaven tucked into this gorgeous town. The unique cabin is perched on coal creek. In my opinion, next to Casa de Tortugas....this is my favorite place in the world. The art in the home is a reflection of the owners and their quirky personalities shine and make you smile. Coal Creek cabin has an amazing kitchen....let’s face it, EVERYTHING is amazing in this home. I hope to return someday to this little slice of heaven. Thank you.
We reached the property about 20 minutes early and the door code wouldn’t work until the official check in time. Fair enough! (We left then, however management did promptly grant us admission when i called) After a long day of traveling, we just couldn’t wait to take warm showers. Unfortunately the hot water didn’t work! We let it run a bit, hoping pipes just needed warming up. We left for dinner, upon returning the water still wasn’t warming. That was a huge bummer to say the least! Management did come right out (stationed about 45 minutes away), telling us that it occasionally happens! For the price point, you would hope this recurrent issue is checked before someone comes to stay!? By late evening we did get to take showers, and management checked on it again the next day. Sure would have liked a discount for this day one major inconvenience. I am giving this house a 5 overall. Pretty well stocked ( just enough TP, no coffee, two dishwasher pods), and i wanted to be really mad about the cold water, but people, this place is BEAUTIFUL! Every space, carefully designed and special.We had fires every night, cooked several meals, our sons relaxed in the hot tub after their mountain adventures, we played cards, watched movies, walked to town…Its the perfect… THE perfect mountain home.Highly recommend! Truly.Crested Butte is so charming with top notch restaurants, walkable to property. (Just check the water right away, and bring your fav essential provisions.)
First time in Crested Butte. Leaf peeping, hiking, exploring the cute town started and ended at this beautiful, fabulously appointed and very comfortable cabin right above the banks of Coal Creek! LOVED IT!
We absolutely loved our stay here. There were 4 adults and one toddler and it was the perfect accommodation for us. Located just on the outside of town, it was quiet but we were still able to walk everywhere in town and to many hiking trails right from the house. Also bike trails were accessible right from the house. Would highly recommend!
The cabin was perfect. Add in the river/creek running alongside it and the fact that it’s on the edge of town yet 2 blocks from Elk makes it hard to beat. We’ll definitely be back. Thanks
What a great place to stay. We had the perfect amount of room for our family and my in-laws. The amenities were top notch and we were able to create some epic meals and the relax by the fire pit, or in the jacuzzi. We loved the comfortable beds and the cool bathrooms. All this and it’s literally just 3 blocks from the main drag. Hope we get to stay here again, we did not want to leave!!
Can’t say enough great things about the Coal Creek Cabin. Perfect location in Crested Butte…edge of town on Coal Creek but still close enough to walk everywhere. Will definitely be back!
We thoroughly enjoyed our time here. Every single detail was thought of in this home. We hope to return one day !! Thanks for sharing your home with us.
