Washington Gulch Getaway

1. Washington Gulch Getaway

29mi from Gunnison · 1 site · Lodging · Crested Butte, CO
Welcome to the Washington Gulch Getaway! Don't miss this rare opportunity to stay at one of the most coveted homes in Crested Butte. Featuring 20 acres of private land surrounded by National Forest, ample mountain views and wildlife, 3 ponds, and trout stream, this 3-story creekside cabin is the perfect place for you and your friends or loved ones to enjoy the CO backcountry, or to simply relax and recharge. Book now to lock in your dates before they're gone; I would love to host your stay! ABOUT THE LOCATION: The Washington Gulch Getaway is your premier destination to enjoy a remote mountain retreat in the beautiful backcountry of Crested Butte, Colorado. Start your day watching the sun rise over Gothic Mountain before it slowly starts moving across a picturesque view of Whetstone. Enjoy the views from two decks and frequent visits from wildlife, including elk, deer, moose, bears, and beavers. Sit and sunbathe by the two small ponds, or grab your fishing rod and follow the creek down to the third pond with plenty of trout waiting to bite. Hand-built over decades by the legendary Phil P., take in the sights, sounds, and rich history of one of the oldest gold mining claims in Gunnison County as you walk the property to find hidden gems like an old sluce box, outhouse, and some of the original equipment used to create this one-of-a-kind oasis. You'll also find countless trinkets, treasures, and antiques throughout the home. End your day watching the sunset over Anthracite Mesa, where an old coal mine once stood in the 1890's, as deer and other wildlife return almost every evening to graze and visit the ponds. Some might even get as close as the front door!
