♡ "great location to get to the ski lifts easily" — Kelley, Jan '26



» 2 min walk to the lifts » 7 min to Elk Avenue » 45 min to GUC airport



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



Please Note: 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 pet fees and other special requests/upgraded services we offer.



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.

It was an easy location and nice and clean. It’s also a very dog friendly place so we felt fine having them there.

It's to classified to talk about.

The room was exactly as described and was perfect for a weekend getaway to Crested Butte. The lodge is right by the mountain base and there are frequent shuttles to and from downtown. Super easy to go out to dinner and get back. Would definitely stay again!
6 / 10Average·Jul 2023
Decent place & as advertised. However, poorly maintained which is not uncommon when staying at places that are run by property managers (and not by owners). There were some issues we noticed when we checked in including a missing bar on one of the shelves of the refrigerator, which made the shelf unusable. This was a bummer because the fridge is tiny & all space is needed. Also the diverter valve in the shower which didn't pull up easily (or all the way). This wasted a lot of water. I emailed management to let them know about these issues, and received a prompt, but canned reply, that "we will inform our team & apologize for the inconvenience." During our stay, while my husband and I were sleeping in the bed, the large framed picture which was located above the bed fell on us. The holes in the drywall that should have secured the picture were stripped, which made the hanging picture unsecure and fall during the night. When I reached out to management, I received another canned response apologizing for any inconvenience. A huge picture falling on us in the middle of the night was not an "inconvenience," but rather a danger and scare. I got the feeling that the management company, which really is the case with all management companies, was just going through the motions. I would recommend renting from an owner at this hotel if you have the option.
