With zero visible neighbors, enjoy pure alpine silence and panoramic views from your wraparound deck and hot tub, all while remaining just minutes from world-class slopes and fine dining. It’s not just a vacation rental; it’s a mountain experience in a league of its own.

You can see 20+ different mountains from the great room; it’s truly one of the best views in all of Colorado! The living room has a cozy gas fireplace with a 75" TV and plenty of comfortable seating for friends and family to gather. The floating chef's kitchen has all the necessary cooking appliances and utensils to ensure a fantastic in-home dining experience. The adjacent dining area provides a grand setting for shared meals, where you can gather around the large table and dine with the 80-foot wall of windows and the most iconic views in Crested Butte as your backdrop. Each of the four bedrooms upstairs has a private attached bathroom and an exterior door with direct access to the wraparound deck. The expansive 360-degree wraparound deck includes a hot tub, gas grill, and outdoor seating/dining. The office has a computer monitor with keyboard/mouse for easy hookup to your laptop. Enjoy lightning-fast WiFi (500 Mbps) and fantastic cell phone reception throughout the property. We also provide an iPad with Sonos whole-house audio control, a telescope, a guitar, a piano, and a few other surprises.

Location: Experience unparalleled tranquility and privacy with this one-of-a-kind mountain retreat. Located in the exclusive gated community of Trappers at Wildcat, this property encompasses two adjacent 35-acre lots and holds the rare distinction of being the ONLY home perched on Gibson’s Ridge. This unique position offers total seclusion and jaw-dropping panoramic views of 20+ mountain peaks, the valley floor and downtown Crested Butte below. The estate perfectly strikes a balance between untamed wilderness and mountain-town elegance. Enjoy a scenic 4-mile drive through the high country to reach downtown Crested Butte. While the drive is a quick 10 minutes in the warmer months, we recommend giving yourself extra time when winter weather rolls in. If you’re visiting in the summer, you can even skip the drive and hike into town right from your doorstep in about 50 minutes.

Pictures do not give this home justice! Upon arrival your breath is taken away by the view. Glorious! We have stayed in a lot of homes. Never have we had a host like Jordan! He sincerely wants your stay to be top notch. He is well stocked on anything you can imagine! Our family of thirteen had a beautiful week making great memories. We saw so much beauty. Wildlife and scenery you will love! We were able to have our beloved dog who loved the hikes and swimming. This house is worth every dime! Thank you Jordan for making this a memorable week for our family!

There are no words to accurately describe how wonderful our stay on Wildcat Trail was! The pictures, while incredible, do not do justice to what this home offers. The setting is spectacular, house is immaculately clean and maintained, and all the amenities are over the top. But the most important part was that the owner truly wants his guests to love the home as much as he does…and he is available and on call to answer questions at any hour. The manual that comes with the home, both digitally and on site, details recommended activities, restaurants, hiking trails, fishing guides and more. The 360 wrap around deck is breathtaking and each room opens onto it.and the hot tub with those views! Not to be missed! Far and away the most impressive home we have encountered while renting. The kitchen is beyond well stocked with spices, oils, condiments and on and on…a chef’s kitchen with all anyone could dream of to feed a crowd. If you want a five star experience while in Crested Butte, this is your property! It’s worth way more than 5 stars—memories with our large family will last our lifetimes! We would love to return…a little slice of heaven! Thank you Jordon…I have a new friend!

Everything! The house (and its pictures) speak for itself. However, when we actually arrived at the house, it felt like a home and was perfect for our group. Jordan couldn't have been more warm and polite and responsive. The house was very well thought out - the prep area for getting ski gear on, the two washers and dryers, the amazing kitchen/family room/dining area was perfect!

Our extended family, ranging in age from 13 to 77, missed out on some special travel this summer, due to the pandemic. We were so excited when we found that this house was available for a few days when we were finally able to safely be together. The house is a perfect size for several generations. Ensuite baths for every bedroom, and a great downstairs bunkroom for the kids, along with a second hangout space. There were lots of great places to pop open a laptop for those who had school/work, including the beautiful office, and the internet connectivity was first rate. Pretty much everything has been thought of, from the hotel-comfortable beds to extensive cooking supplies and pantry basics, from water bottles at the bedsides to a coffee station in the dining room. The open plan main floor is perfect for cocktails and cooking and chatting, and it's an easy few steps out the door to the hot tub for stargazing later in the evening. The decor is bright and modern in the best possible way, and the house takes great advantage of its natural setting, rather than being dark and closed in, as are many mountain houses. The location of the home was perfect for us-- as avid trail runners/hikers/enjoyers of the outdoors, we loved being perched on the mountainside. It was very easy to walk down the road for a short but beautiful hike to Green Lake (nothing better than being to go for a real hike or trail run without having to drive to a trailhead), but it was an easy drive to other great outdoor adventures or to pick up a meal in town. Being up on the mountain on a large piece of property was almost like glamping in the wilderness-- the Milky Way visible to the naked eye, the fox in the yard, the wind in the trees, the quiet-- but with conveniences very nearby.Finally, I cannot finish this review without commenting on the view. All of us have been lucky enough to travel to locations with jaw-dropping mountain views, including the Lauterbrünnen Valley and the Dolomites, and this view was similarly amazing. The house is perfectly sited and architected to allow for hours of mountain- (and star-) gazing. You walk up the stairs into the living space and are greeted with a panorama of peaks, from Gothic Mountain to Mt Crested Butte, and all the mountains along the ridgeline between and behind them. Every single time we walked into the living room, we'd stop and stare. It's very special and absolutely spectacular. A can't miss for lovers of alpine scenery.
