Year-Round in Crested Butte
Crested Butte is more than a seasonal destination; it is a sanctuary for the soul all year long. While the colors of the mountains change, the heartbeat of our community remains vibrant. From world-class gallery hopping and historic tours to transformative wellness retreats and quiet moments on the ridge, there is always a reason to call 2255 Wildcat home.
Stroll Historic Elk Avenue: Take a slow walk down one of Colorado’s most iconic main streets. Elk Avenue is lined with colorful Victorian-era buildings that house independent boutiques, coffee shops, and world-class eateries. Stop by Camp 4 Coffee for a local brew, browse the unique finds at Pooh’s Corner or Townie Books, and grab a slice of the famous gourmet pizza at The Secret Stash. Whether it’s a quiet Tuesday morning or a lively festival weekend, a stroll through town is the best way to soak in the "Last Great Ski Town" vibe.
Chill at the House: Sometimes the best activity is no activity at all. With over 70 private acres and 360-degree panoramic views, our home is designed for ultimate relaxation. For those who feel the pull of the outdoors, spend an afternoon exploring the private acreage and wooded trails, where you can spot local wildlife or hike up to the ridgeline for total seclusion and breathtaking vistas. Back at the house, spend a morning on the expansive wrap-around deck with a book, or retreat to the great room where 25-foot ceilings and floor-to-ceiling windows bring the mountains inside. While the kids head downstairs to the 100” TV game room, the adults can unwind in the hot tub overlooking the valley or gather around the grand stone fireplace for an evening of music and conversation.
Wellness & Restoration: Elevate your physical and mental well-being with Crested Butte’s premier spa and fitness amenities. Enjoy a day of pampering at the Creekside Spa, or visit one of our local yoga studios for a restorative session. For those staying active, the local fitness centers offer year-round access to indoor pools, steam rooms, and saunas—the perfect way to recover after a day of travel or high-altitude adventure.
Arts, Culture & History: Immerse yourself in the creative spirit of the mountains. Spend an afternoon exploring the Center for the Arts, which hosts a year-round calendar of live theater, dance, and music. Wander through acclaimed fine art galleries like Shaun Horne and Oh Be Joyful, or step back in time at the Mountain Heritage Museum to learn about the storied mining and mountain biking history that shaped our town.
Culinary & Private Dining: Experience the best of Colorado’s flavors without ever leaving the ridge. We can help coordinate Private Chef Services to prepare a custom farm-to-table meal in our chef’s kitchen. If you prefer to head into town, legendary year-round staples like Elk Avenue Prime, Sunflower, and the intimate Soupçon offer unforgettable dining experiences in every season.
Dark Sky Stargazing: As an officially designated International Dark Sky Community, our backyard and deck offers some of the most spectacular stargazing in the world. With zero visible neighbors and absolute privacy, the night sky at 2255 Wildcat Trail is a front-row seat to the Milky Way. We recommend ending your night on the deck under a blanket of stars with a glass of wine or a warm tea.
