Summary:

Welcome to Your Updated Mountain Escape at the Grand Lodge



Imagine waking up in a freshly renovated studio, just a 5-minute walk from Crested Butte Mountain Resort. You'll find yourself perfectly positioned to maximize ski days while enjoying the comfort of a thoughtfully updated space with all the essentials you need.



The Space:

This third-floor studio in the East Building sleeps 4 guests and comes with premium amenities most mountain properties can't match—including complimentary town shuttle service, free Wi-Fi, and access to an indoor/outdoor pool and large hot tub.



The Space



This 1-bedroom, 1-bathroom studio has been recently renovated to blend mountain comfort with practical design. You get a spacious king-size bed plus a king sofa bed, giving you flexibility for how you arrange your group. The layout feels open and welcoming, with natural light flooding through the windows. Your private entrance means you can come and go as you please without navigating shared hallways—a significant convenience when you're arriving late or heading out early for first chair.



The kitchenette is better equipped than typical lodge rooms. You'll find a one-burner stove, small dishwasher, mini fridge, kitchen sink, and all the cooking basics you need. Whether you're meal-prepping for a ski day or making a late-night snack run obsolete, you have real options. A TV with cable keeps you entertained on downtime.



Sleeping Arrangements & Bathrooms



You'll sleep comfortably on a king-size bed with quality linens and access to extra pillows and blankets. The second sleeping option is a king sofa bed—perfect for couples traveling together or families with older kids. The full bathroom has everything you need after a full day on the mountain or trails.



Amenities That Make a Difference



This property includes amenities usually found only at full-service resorts, and they're complimentary:



Free Wi-Fi throughout your stay keeps you connected.



Complimentary town shuttle service—no need to arrange your own transportation.



Indoor/outdoor pool and large hot tub for après-ski relaxation (both well-maintained and clean).



Large steam room for soothing post-activity muscle recovery.



Fitness center with gym equipment.



Dedicated ski and bike storage with our partner Butte & Co—your gear stays organized and secure.



Luggage dropoff allowed so you can explore before check-in.



Elevator access on your floor.



Free parking on premises with one parking pass per room for outdoor parking.



Additional amenities in your room include heating, a TV with cable, a washer and dryer, a microwave, a coffee maker, and a dedicated workspace—useful if you need to handle any work remotely.



Your Location & Why It Matters



You're 5 minutes on foot from Crested Butte Mountain Resort's base—close enough to grab coffee and breakfast at nearby shops before you head up, but far enough that you're not dealing with noise or congestion. The location sits in Crested Butte itself, a breathtaking mountain destination known for world-class skiing and a thriving community beyond the winter season.



The surrounding area includes gift shops and newsstands at the Grand Lodge, plus a cozy fireplace in the lobby where you can warm up and meet other guests. Within your immediate neighborhood, you'll find restaurants and coffee shops—perfect for grabbing a quick bite or unwinding after a day outdoors.



The Building & What to Expect



The Grand Lodge is a 3-star property of individually owned condos managed by BookTraverse. There's no front desk, but your host is readily available to respond to guest questions and needs. While the building has historic character as an older property, your studio is newly updated with modern fixtures and finishes—you get the charm of an established mountain lodge without sacrificing comfort or functionality.



One important note: Building amenities are managed by a separate company and may occasionally close amenities without advance notice. This is rare, but it's something to be aware of. The property has heating, though there is no air conditioning—worth noting if you're traveling during warmer months, though Crested Butte's elevation keeps nights cool even in summer.



What BookTraverse Hosts Provide



When you book with us, you get more than just a room:



Quick response times and genuinely friendly communication—we actually answer your questions.



Virtual concierge service with extensive local knowledge about restaurants, trails, activities, and hidden gems.



A guidebook with detailed check-in information and access to additional services (you'll receive a link via email).



A clean, well-maintained space you can trust.



Important Details Before You Book



There is no daily maid service included. Linen turnover is available for $100 with 24 hours' notice if you'd like fresh linens during an extended stay.



Long-term stays are allowed, making this ideal if you're considering a week or longer in Crested Butte.



The property currently holds Superhost status with a 4.9-star average rating across 10 reviews, and has been marked as a Guest Favorite.



This studio is perfect if you prioritize location, convenience, and genuine hospitality—all wrapped up in a refreshed mountain space. Your 5-minute walk to the resort base, combined with premium amenities and a host who genuinely cares about your stay, makes this one of the smarter choices for a Crested Butte mountain getaway.



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:

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).



The Neighborhood:

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!



Getting Around:

Most Guests bring their car to get around (we have a free parking lot with EV charging), but there are shuttles to get around if you'd prefer!

This property does not have air conditioning.



Please note: we do not do daily linen service like a traditional hotel (this is Airbnb style). However, if you'd like a turnover to be done during your stay, please give us a 24 notice so we can coordinate with the cleaner. There is an extra cost for this, which is $100.



-Unfortunately, the HOA does not allow pets on the 3rd floor. You may see pets, however if an owner is staying in their unit, then they are allowed to have a pet (this is the buildings policy and has nothing to do with Traverse Hospitality ).
