Crested Butte, Colorado
Summary:
The Grand Lodge is a great budget friendly hotel for you to enjoy the outdoor activities and scenery that Crested Butte has to offer. This is a no frills hotel, but offers a comfortable place to stay at an affordable price.
The Space:
The Grand Lodge is a 3 star hotel. It is made up of condos that have been purchased by individual owners. Each owner chooses their management company. We manage 13 in the building. There are few things to keep in mind when you stay at the Grand Lodge.
The Pros: Crested Butte is absolutely breathtaking! The location of the Grand Lodge is EPIC, a very short walk (less than 8 minutes) to the bottom of the ski resort! On the way you will pass a coffee shop and a few restaurants! The pool and hot tub are great. The pool has an indoor section as well as outdoor. The hot tub is large (probably the largest compared to other hotels). Both are kept very clean and maintained. There is also a large steam room for relaxing after a long day. The Grand Lodge has free outdoor parking
(guests are given one parking pass per room). In addition every room has a mini kitchen that comes in handy for snacks. Overall the convenience is what makes the Grand Lodge special!
The Cons: There is a management company that manages the building and amenities. They can make last minute decisions that we don't have control over (example closing an amenity without notice). The building is old and the rooms are a little weathered. With that being said, the rooms are clean (we take pride in making sure cleanliness is our top priority). We even go an extra step and do deep cleans during shoulder season twice a year. None of the rooms have air conditioning, there is a thermostat for heat.
Overall if you are expecting all the bells and whistles that come along with a 5 star hotel, you will be disappointed if you book here.
Unlike most of the rooms at the Grand Lodge, this is a 1 bedroom suite!! Upon entering the space, a bathroom is located immediately to the right. A kitchen table and four chairs are situated in an alcove to the left. The living room and kitchen are connected. A Murphy bed (queen) folds down in the living room and can sleep 2 guests. A private bedroom has a king size bed for 2 more guests and its own private bathroom. The room has cable TV. The kitchen has a Keurig coffee maker, fridge, sink, stove and dishwasher.

Please be aware that the Grand Lodge pool and hot tub will be closed starting April 8, 2024 for about a week for necessary preventative maintenance work.
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 $50.
-This unit is NOT pet friendly. Only floors 1 & 2 are pet friendly. You may see pets on the 4th and 5th floors, 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 High Rocky Homes).
-Heating is controlled by a thermostat on the wall of the living room.
This property is well-stocked and had everything we needed for a family of 4. It was spacious and comfortable, with a separate room for a bedroom. Two bathrooms was a major plus! The lodge is situated a minute's walk to the slopes, and has a valet for skis and snowboards, making everything SO easy! Food/drinks are available on-site and nearby. We had a wonderful trip!
The state was enjoyable, my only feedback would be that both TVs worked very poorly, and were very dark and hard to watch. Also, the carpets were fairly dirty, but overall we really enjoyed our stay. Thank you for the opportunity!
This was a lovely suite with lots of space, and the king bed was super comfortable! I liked the proximity for the laundry room and the ice machine. The view was terrific and there was easy access for our son in his wheelchair.
Perfect short get away.
This place is excellent. Parking is easy, check in is easy, everyone is very nice. The bus to take you to town is so close and super convenient. Town is cute and perfect for a vitality of palates. The hot tub and pool is great, and the hot tub is even hot enough! - sometimes hot tubs can be warm not hot. The mountain is a short walk with lockers at the base. There’s a place to grab breakfast in the lodge or you can bring your own food and cook in the kitchenette. The space is bigger than the photos show and I would highly recommend!
