Help
Spend your winter (or spring/summer!) in a beautiful Colorado mountain town!!

We are an outdoor-oriented family looking to host someone in our Crested Butte, CO home in exchange for general household help, light cooking, running errands, and keeping our busy lives intact!

We live minutes away from the amazing Crested Butte Ski Resort and charming downtown - with restaurants, coffee shops, retail shops, and art galleries. We have 2 kids: a 7 year old son (1st grade) & 4 year old daughter who is in preschool full time.

My husband travels a lot for work and I run a small business; in our free time we love to hike, bike, ski, camp, and enjoy the great outdoors. We're looking for an extra set of hands around the house and someone who can help run errands, keep our house tidy/organized, prepare basic meals, do laundry etc.

Someone with a driver's license is definitely preferred (we are not on a bus/train route & your own vehicle will be needed as we use use our own cars regularly).

We look forward to hosting someone who is looking to experience this amazing community and Colorado lifestyle. Thanks!

Vanessa was literally a life-saver for us! She did the most thorough house cleaning EVER over a weekend period when my husband was out of town. We have 2 young children, a dog, and extremely busy lives; needless to say, our house needed some major TLC. She went to town on everything and our house sparkled and shined like it never has before-… read more

Bethany was an incredible help to to our family during a pretty hectic and stressful time of transition....basically moving from one house to another, as a family of 4+dog, for the summer. She was always willing to help out when needed. Her strengths lay in her work-ethic, open-mindedness, and willingness to help on a daily basis with whatever… read more

I stayed with this family for the month of June. Eric and Maria were very gracious and welcoming, they made sure I had everything I needed to be comfortable for my stay. They are both incredibly hardworking, knowledgeable and successful as well as being down to earth, easy going and fun. I learned so much from talking with them and they were… read more

Rebecca was a great help for us in the week that she stayed. We live busy leaves, and she was an excellent extra set of hands.

Especially with regards to cleaning, her work was impeccable! We've had… read more

Wonderful exchange! Busy, but easygoing and friendly family. Convenient location. I had a very private bedroom and my own bathroom, the best I've had so far. I even had use of a car, which rarely happens for me. I helped with housecleaning, laundry, babysitting, some errands and organizing, and I enjoyed a long walk to Boulder Reservoir with the… read more

I spent three months living with Maria, Eric, Merritt and Ellie and had an incredible time. They made me feel at home right away and from the beginning, we had really open communication about types of work I'd be doing and how much, schedule etc. I was able to use their extra car to get in and out of Boulder whenever I wanted which made accessing… read more

I spent 3 months with this family and it was a pleasure! Eric, Maria, Merritt, and Ellie are a great family who made me feel at home. Eric and Maria are open-minded and gentle. They are very interested in the person who stays with them and were always open for a good conversation or to help me if I had any issues. They always made sure I had… read more
