Welcome to the Historic Crested Butte Mule Barn. The Mule Barn was originally used in the 1800's for housing the mules used to mine for coal. It was originally located on "the bench", overlooking Crested Butte, near the mine. It was moved downtown in the 1970's and converted into a live-in work of art.

***We do accept DOGS! Limit 2 dogs per stay. $25/pet/night pet fee applies.

The space
The first floor has three bedrooms and a full bathroom. The second floor is the kitchen, living room(with queen sized fold out sofa), dining area and another full bathroom.
After a complete renovation in 2019, it is now a perfect mix of rustic and modern. Find yourself greeted by rustic charm from the moment you enter the unique barn door front door, and step into a work of art with spiral staircase rising 3 floors, hand hewn barn wood and a modern kitchen to enjoy
cooking for a special occasion or just a simple dinner. Enjoy a wonderful view of Mt. Crested Butte from the living room as you relax by a roaring fire watching a movie or reading a good book.

Guest access
Full access to 1st and 2nd floors. Third floor is closed to guests.

Other things to note
With the Mule Barn you have a free ski locker 20 steps from the slopes. This will take the hassle out of carrying ski equipment back and forth to the ski area.
Take time to just be, or be pushed to the limit with all the recreational opportunities the Gunnison Valley has to offer. This stay will not disappoint! Once you've arrived, you can walk to shopping and restaurants, and with a free bus stop leading to the ski area, Gunnison, and many of the surrounding areas, only a block away, you could choose not to drive for the remainder of your trip.
The Mule Barn is as rich in Crested Butte history as it is in comfort and charm. A stay here is an experience like no other.
