The Space:

A wheelchair-accessible, dog-friendly studio in the Grand Lodge's building at the base of Mt. Crested Butte — built for travelers who need step-free access and want to bring their dog.



➔ Accessibility: Wide doorways and hallway clearance, an accessible-height king bed with wide clearance, and a full accessible bathroom (grab rails for shower and toilet, roll-under sink, accessible-height toilet). Step-free to the room by elevator.

➔ Sleeping: An accessible-height king bed sleeps two; the sofa is for lounging, not a bed.

➔ Kitchenette: Fridge, microwave, dishwasher, coffee maker, and cookware, plus a dining table.

➔ Pets: Dogs are genuinely welcome, up to 2 dogs max ($50 pet fee) — easy in and out for walks, with trails and town a short stroll away.

➔ Building Amenities: Indoor and outdoor heated pools, hot tub, gym, elevator, and a fireplace lobby.



3 Pros:

✔ One of very few rooms at the ski base that is both wheelchair accessible and pet-friendly — step-free to the lifts

✔ Indoor and outdoor heated pools plus a hot tub for after a day out

✔ The most affordable building at the base of Mt. Crested Butte, shuttle to town steps away



2 Cons:

✗ The accessible bathroom has a clinical, roll-under layout — ideal if you need it, worth knowing if you don't

✗ Built in 1999, a 3-star building with dated finishes; no A/C and no in-unit washer/dryer



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 ($5/night, max $40).



Guest Access:

You have the entire studio to yourself, plus full access to the Grand Lodge's shared amenities: the indoor and outdoor heated pools, hot tub, gym, and fireplace lobby. The room is reached step-free by elevator, with wide doorways throughout. Check in yourself anytime with the keypad code — there's no front desk at the Grand Lodge, but we respond quickly by message. Your unit comes with free parking and easy in-and-out for walks with your dog. Shared amenities are operated by the building's HOA and can occasionally close for maintenance.



The Neighborhood:

The Grand Lodge sits at the base of Mt. Crested Butte, a short and mostly step-free walk from the Crested Butte Mountain Resort lifts, with the free town shuttle stop only a couple of minutes away. The surrounding base village has a coffee shop, restaurants, a convenience store, and rental outfitters at the doorstep, plus open ground nearby for dog walks. Historic downtown Crested Butte and its Elk Avenue — galleries, restaurants, and preserved Old West architecture — are about a seven-minute drive, with the free shuttle running between the mountain and town. The area is a year-round outdoor base: skiing and snowshoeing in winter; hiking, mountain biking, rafting, and wildflower season in summer. The Gunnison-Crested Butte Regional Airport (GUC) is about a 45-minute drive.



Getting Around:

You don't need a car here — the lifts, coffee, restaurants, and a convenience store are all within a short, mostly step-free walk, and the free town shuttle stop is a couple of minutes away. The room is reached step-free by elevator. The shuttle runs between the mountain base and historic downtown Crested Butte (about 7 minutes). If you do drive, your unit comes with free parking. The Gunnison-Crested Butte Regional Airport (GUC) is about a 45-minute drive; Denver is roughly 4 hours.
