CHARMING 3 BR VICTORIAN IN THE HISTORIC DISTRICT!
Walking distance to shopping, great food, skiing, hiking and more. Just step outside our front door to the beauty and charm of Crested Butte.

Kate's Place is located in the historic district at 413 Maroon Ave., one block off the main street. Kate's Place was shipped to Crested Butte piece by piece in 1922, as an original Montgomery Ward's kit home. It was erected by a local miner and built on a mountain stone foundation. The home is named after Kate Starika, who lived in the home for more than 60 years. The home was restored 32 years ago and was recognized by the Board of zoning and Architectural Review as the best example of historical renovation completed that year in CB.

"We tried to maintain as much of the historical integrity as possible", said Kathy, " the renovation was a labor of love." The interior and exterior paint and wall coverings all reflect the homes beginnings. As much of the original wood trim and flooring were retained. Beautiful leaded glass door and side panels were designed in Dallas to fit the new entrance way. Not only does this make a statement about the home, it also makes for a charming entrance into a wonderful enclosed sunroom. The perfect place to relax after a day of skiing, hiking, biking or shopping in town. The most wonderful element of the home is it's location...walking distance to all the beauty and charm of Crested Butte.

Cozy, comfortable with a great floor plan that gives everyone space to relax, read, work check emails and just enjoy after a full day of exploring. The large and private yard, patio, and outdoor furniture gives you another great space in summer & fall to chill!

Kate's Place is licensed by the town of Crested Butte, number 001278. Yearly the property is inspected to make sure all safety rules and regulations are followed.
This assures you and your family of a safe and clean property for you vacation needs.

Wedding weekend
A great place to stay in Crested Butte. Super location - quiet block very near all town attractions. Comfortable beds and super well stocked kitchen. Upstairs main bedroom suite was great. We were in town for my son’s wedding and great backyard and deck served as a wonderful place to sit and visit with family who came in for wedding. We would love to stay here again when we return for another visit.

Cute & Eclectic
Location is excellent! Short walk to all the shops/restaurants. House is cute and eclectic. Stocked with all the things you might need. Price was great! For those looking to stay at this property - please note that that the bedroom with the bunk bed is extremely small... not much space to move around. The bunk bed is only suitable for very small children. Our 6-year old slept on the bottom bunk, but it was such a low clearance that she would hit her head when trying to sit up or get in/out of the bed. Additionally - the back door of the home is in this same bedroom - which I will admit, was a bit unsettling being that our children were sleeping in this room. All in all - a great stay! Thank you for sharing your property with us!

My husband and I purchased Kate's Place in 1989 and have been adding updates ever since as a labor of love. Now retired we get to enjoy CB even more and have learned that spring and fall are also special times and are busy exploring the area during these seasons too. We share some of our favorite places in the Guest Book waiting for you at the house.




Why they chose this property

We often visited Crested Butte to ski and loved the area. When we saw Kate's Place we fell in love again! The house is part of the history of CB and is all most 100 years old. Kate's Place is located one block off the main street of Elk Ave....walking distance to hiking, shopping, dinning and parks. Two blocks from the free shuttle bus to the mountain.

What makes this property unique

Outdoor beauty, friendly people, wonderful hiking, skiing, rafting, biking and more within walking distance. Great food and social events...everything for the perfect vacation!
Great 4th of July parades, weekly music at the park and on the mountain. Food and wine events. Summer chair lift rides with or without your bike. Art shows and the weekly farmers market and art show are just a few of the events to keep you busy.
