Skiers Special! Discounted rates and shorter stays through 12/21/2025!

Welcome to The 401 House, Downtown Crested Butte!

***Please read disclosures before booking.

Hot tub, parking, right in the heart of town, with a free shuttle to the mountain just down the street. Come discover why this charming refurbished mining cabin in the heart of town is one of Crested Butte’s most popular vacation rentals.

When it comes to mountain biking in Crested Butte, the 401 Trail simply tops them all - a world-renowned trail that has got something for everyone, and always delivers an unforgettable experience - which is why we call this remarkable property the 401 House, a true Crested Butte gem where great memories are waiting to be made! Originally built in the 1890’s, this restored historic cabin feels like it is in a world of it’s own, even though it’s conveniently located in the heart of Downtown Crested Butte. A private fenced yard hides the hot tub and gas grill area, as well plenty of room to pull up a chair and unwind. The 401 House is one block from the Mountain Express bus stop, one block from the Nordic Center, and 2 blocks from the shops and restaurants on Elk Avenue- just pull into your own off-street parking, then wave your car goodbye and focus on the finer things in life! 
A spacious and well-equipped kitchen opens into a lovely dining area, then a cozy family room, complete with gas fireplace, smart TV, family-style games, and room to lounge, or even sleep in the oversized-Queen Sleeper Sofa. Radiant in-floor heat throughout means every room is toasty. Each bedroom boasts a king size bed, a high ceiling with fan, great light, and it’s own deck. Amenities galore.

Whether you need the perfect nest to refuel between your big mountain adventures, or a peaceful place to connect with those who matter most, the 401 House awaits.

We are always happy and willing to assist with ski and bike rentals and to share our local knowledge.
