Photos and Description of the Crested Butte vacation barn rental
Barn, 3 Bedrooms + Loft, 2 Baths (Sleeps up to 9)

This unique property was originally a barn for mules! No kidding! It was deconstructed and moved to a town lot for people to inhabit and enjoy. Keeping all the charm of a barn with modern day conveniences, this one of a kind property will be talked about for years to come! Three bedrooms on the lower level, one with a king bed, one queen and one twin room share a full bath. The second floor boasts a large kitchen with washer/dryer, dining and living area, and a second full bath. The upstairs loft has two twin beds and a queen bed. For the little ones there is another small loft that can sleep two. The Barn is in walking distance to the bus stop (free bus every 15 minutes all day every day) which takes you to the base of Mt. Crested Butte ski area. It is also located in walking distance to the quaint downtown area that has unique shopping and dining opportunities. Immediately down the street is a large park with playground equipment, a soccer field and picnic pavillion with restrooms. The rec path for bikers, hikers or walkers is also a very short walk away. In summer you can hike and bike from the Barn and in winter you can cross country ski directly from the house. Included in rental are two cruiser bikes for summer or winter.

We spent the weekend at the Mule Barn.
It is rustic and perfect for gathering friends and family for a weekend of nordic skiing.
Charming, funky, casual and just what we like about Crested Butte!
Location is good and the kitchen is very functional.
We'll choose to stay at the mule barn again!

I spent New Years 2013 with a group of friends in Crested Butte. We had a fantastic time at the Mule Barn...it was located within a short walking distance from town/shuttle buses and was the perfect size for our group of 10. Highlights of the property include a spacious kitchen, a wood burning fireplace and two full sized bathrooms. The owner was accommodating and easy to work with.

Wow! If you are looking for a cookie cutter condo then this unique place is not for you. However, if you want to stay in a one-of-a-kind property then make your reservation right now. This architecturally significant home is in a great location to walk to all the quaint shops and restaurants in the town of Crested Butte. Plus its a half block walk to the mountain shuttle.
The property is beautifully furnished and well maintained. The pictures can't capture it's complete charm.
Wish we could stay longer and can't wait to come back.
