Great location, lots of beds.Pretty good kitchen dining area w/ sears for 8.Living room a bit cramped for more than a few people. Not fancy but very comfortable.
The Maroon Bells VRBO was a fantastic stay! The location couldn’t have been better—just one block off Main Street, making it incredibly convenient to walk to all the great restaurants, shops, and local attractions. We especially loved being within easy walking distance to Camp 4 Coffee, which quickly became our favorite morning stop. The home was comfortable, well-appointed, and perfectly situated for exploring everything the area has to offer. Highly recommend!
The house was as advertised, one block off the Main Street in Crested Butte, within walking distance of all the shops and restaurants.
Very clean and well maintained house. We had a couple requests w management team and they were always fast to respond. Great stay!
Stayed here with family members for our son’s wedding in CB. The house was exactly as described - very roomy, well equipped, clean, and a super location right in town. The hot tub and the large back yard allowed us to also enjoy the beautiful weekend outdoors - the littles were able to run to their hearts content and swim in hot tub. Highly recommend for families looking to come together but have some privacy as well.
Almost everything was excellent and just as described. Amazingly well stocked kitchen with more than enough glasses and dishes for a full house. Incredible location. Loads of space. The only drawback with the hot tub which appeared less than clean on arrival (slightly green). I will say that the management were immediately responsive to my questions about it and sent out the hot tub cleaners to check it out the same day. I would definitely recommend staying here and would happily come back.
Great location, sleeping arrangements could use some work
Great location in the town of Crested Butte. Could walk to anything. Bedrooms and beds were very disappointing. Mattresses squeaked loudly upon any movement and two bedrooms had no doors. For the price, the house could use some updating.
Our family of 8 had a great stay at Maroon Bells over Christmas. The property management was great to work with prior to and during our visit. I would have given all 5 stars, but we did have problems with the hot tub, and unfortunately were not able to use it successfully for most of the stay, circuit breaker kept shutting it down. Maintenance was sent twice to restart, but unfortunately due to the holidays a repair was not able to be scheduled until after we left. I trust this will be fixed for future renters. The location, close to the free bus stop to ski slopes, and right in town was perfect for walking anywhere we needed. We did not have a car and did not miss one. The house was well stocked for cooking. Our beds were comfortable. Our group enjoyed our Christmas in Created Butte and our rental at Marion Bells.
Thoroughly enjoyed our stay at Maroon Bells. The house was comfortable and close to all the wonderful restaurants and shops that Crested Butte offers. The backyard was a plus and the hot tub was wonderful !! It would have been nice to have chairs on the upstairs deck.

Great spot in the heart of Crested Butte
We couldn't have asked for a better spot. It was just the four of us so we had lots of room to spread out. I wouldn't hesitate to come back with a group twice as big. The location, the cleanliness, and the amenities were perfect for our three days. We usually like to try new places but we will strongly consider renting this same place again.

Close to town, lots of room, very nice
The house was great the weather was poo poo :) We planned on MTB CB but ended up having to go to Gunnision. BUT, the location of the house is great and the management company did a great job supplying what we needed
This house was perfect for our ski trip! It was very close to the main street so we were able to walk to everything and it was also close to the bus stop for MT. Crested Butte. We have 9 people total and there were plenty of bedrooms/bathrooms. The kitchen was equipped with everything needed to make a big family meal! I would definitely stay here again.
This house and it's location in town was excellent. Only a block away from restaurants and shops. Very short walk to anything and everything. It was accurately described in the VRBO description and perfectly met he needs of our family. It was extremely well appointed. Complete and matching sets of ample wine glasses (approx 12), cocktail glasses, dishes, and flatware. Multiple toasters (that worked). We've stayed in many rentals before where there was a hodgepodge of kitchenware. It's very clear this owner takes pride in their rental and the experience of their guests. The house had everything we needed and it felt like a true home for the week of our vacation. And the management company - IronHorse - was very responsive when we needed assistance. And the check-in instructions and communication prior to our arrival was clear and covered everything to set us up for an easy move in. I highly recommend this house for a vacation in Crested Butte!
We had a fantastic stay at Maroon Bells.
The process of booking the stay thru VRBO was very simple. And the communication with Iron Horse via email was excellent.
The house was very clean and neat.
The house was bigger than expected and we had plenty of space to move about.
The most awesome thing about the house is it’s location- just one block off the Main Street. So close to shopping, eating and all the other cool things that make up Crested Butte.
Some of our other family stayed further away, but they ended gathering at Maroon Bells due to its proximity to the downtown area.
Overall, we only had one complaint- and this isn’t really a complaint- the house on the website was beige, while in reality it had gotten a fresh coat of blue paint! The new color has just added to its charm.

Great location Cute Place
Great place to stay.
All was really wonderful except the contact person was very unfriendly, that's a first for Crested Butte. The house was open for an early check in, but she told us we could not check in. With temperatures in sub zero (worried about wine freezing an exploding in -10 degrees), we landed with a 5 hour wait to check into the house. She never offered to place luggage in the hallway of the house and when asked very politely if it was possible, she said no! We drove by the place twice to see if the maids would care and it was completely cleaned and ready to go. We could have checked in at any time once arrived. Poor customer service and attitude for such a nice little town.
Great location and as described online. My only negative feedback is that there were way too many rules by the property management company. That was quite annoying to keep track of. Otherwise, good experience!
We stayed at the house with another family and had a blast. The house had everything we needed to cook meals. The upstairs area with queen and twin beds was the perfect room for kids to sleep together. The hot tub was such fun for the kids. You are right in town and don’t even need to use your car. Great playground nearby. Highly recommend!
