Our story

Come as guests,
leave as friends.

Crested Butte Mountain Resort opened in 1963. We opened with it — and we are the only one from that first year still standing.

A full renovation kept the bones of the original building and added the things you actually want after a day out. We are the longest operating lodge in Gunnison County, and still run like a family home rather than a chain.

Where to stay

Three very different places to sleep

A room in the lodge, a whole mountain house, or a cottage of your own — all on the same property, all with breakfast included.

What's included

No resort fee. No parking fee. No surprises.

Everything below comes with the room. Down the road they will charge you forty dollars a day for less.

🍽

Continental breakfast

Laid out every morning in the Breakfast Room, with coffee and tea. Included with every room.

🚒

Free parking

On the property, no daily charge — and no resort fee added at checkout.

Hot tub for ten

Outside, facing the mountain, on a heated deck so your feet stay warm getting in and out.

🔥

Two fireplaces

One in the Great Room and one outside by the fire pit. Bring your own s'mores.

🍷

Self-pour wine & beer

Two wine dispensers, a liquor dispenser and a beer fridge. Pick up a card at check-in and pour your own — tasting pours available.

🎿

Boot warmers

A whole wall of them upstairs, so you start each morning dry.

🏔

Ski & board storage

Secure storage on site — nothing wet needs to come up to your room.

🚲

Bike room & wash station

Lock the bike up safely and hose the trail off it before you come inside.

Ten people fit in the hot tub. Most nights that's about right.

Steam, snow and the mountain going pink. The deck is heated and the fire pit is lit.

All year

Four seasons, four different towns

Crested Butte is a ski town for five months and the wildflower capital of Colorado for the rest.

Getting here

Colorado's best-kept secret, minus the I-70 traffic

Crested Butte sits off the main interstate, which is exactly why it still feels like a mountain town. No two-hour crawl to reach it, and no lift queue when you do.
