THE HOOK & OVERVIEW
Your perfect mountain base is waiting. This 4th-floor studio at Grand Lodge puts you steps from Crested Butte Mountain Resort—close enough to pop back for lunch, far enough away to feel like a real mountain escape. We're dog-friendly, filled with amenities (hot tub, pool, gym, steam room), and right now, we're one of Crested Butte's most affordable options for this quality of experience.
Pets: Allowed (maximum 1). Smoking: Not allowed. Events: Not allowed. Suitable for: children and infants
THE SPACE
You're getting a generously proportioned hotel studio with real bones: two king beds (one is a murphy bed, so you can reclaim floor space), a full bathroom, a kitchenette, dedicated workspace, and high-speed internet. The unit sleeps up to 4 guests comfortably. Built in 1999, Grand Lodge has authentic mountain character and shows its age in places—think classic 90s hotel room vibe rather than Instagram-perfect. But that's part of the charm, and it means your wallet stays happier. What matters most works beautifully: the beds are comfortable, the space is clean and well-maintained, and everything you need is here.
KITCHEN & DINING
Your kitchenette is moderately stocked. You'll find a mini fridge, microwave, stove, dishwasher, and basic cooking essentials (pots, pans, dishes, silverware). It's perfect for making coffee in the morning, heating leftovers, or preparing simple meals—not a full-scale cooking space, but genuinely useful for extended stays.
BEDROOMS & BATHROOMS
One full bathroom. Two king beds: a standard king bed frame, plus a murphy bed (king-sized) that folds down from the wall. This configuration works beautifully for families or friends traveling together—everyone gets real bed space, and during the day, you've got an open studio layout.

THE NEIGHBORHOOD & LOCATION
You're 100 yards from the Crested Butte Mountain Resort base area—close enough to walk to the lift in 3 minutes. Downtown Crested Butte is a 6-minute drive, packed with restaurants, breweries, and galleries. Some of Colorado's best hiking trails are 5–25 minutes away, and we've curated a detailed guidebook to help you find them. Gunnison-CB Airport is 40 minutes south if you're flying in. This location is genuinely prime: you get the convenience of proximity without the noise of being right on the strip.

GOOD TO KNOW
.
The building's common areas have that authentic 90s lodge feeling rather than luxury resort polish. If you need ultra-modern aesthetics, this might not be your fit. But if you value an affordable, well-amenitied, perfectly located mountain base where you can bring your dog and jump in a hot tub under the stars, you've found home.
WHY YOU'LL LOVE IT
You get the essentials of a full resort experience—pool, hot tub, gym, steam room—at a price point that doesn't require a second mortgage. You're close enough to the slopes to make multiple runs a day feasible, but far enough away to feel like you've escaped to the mountains..
We do utilize a weblink outside the platform that directs guests to our guidebook. You will receive an email with this link. This is the ONLY way guests can access check-in information, and facilitates the collection of fees and other special requests/upgraded services we offer.
To protect your stay, you'll choose one of two options during online check-in: a $150 refundable security deposit (a temporary card hold, released after checkout) or a small damage waiver ($7/night, max $40).
Guests have access to the condo and Grand Lodge amenities. The Grand Lodge has a Pool, Hot Tub, Gym, Steam room, free parking,(guests are given one parking pass per room ) EV charging and is in the perfect location to Mt. Crested Butte. (please note if any of the amenities are not operational during your stay, we will not offer a refund as we don't have control over the amenities).
We are a short distance from the town of Crested Butte where Elk Avenue provides a great place to shop, dine, visit historic buildings and art galleries.
The area offers outdoor activities in all seasons! It is a great place to enjoy hiking, biking, rafting, skiing, and snowshoeing.
The Gunnison-Crested Butte Regional Airport is a 45-minute drive from the Grand Lodge. Landmarks and attractions are easily accessible and the resort is just a 5 min walk away!
