The Space:

A first-floor studio at Grand Lodge Crested Butte built for two adults (and a dog) or a family of four with the Murphy bed down. The whole studio shares one open room with a bay window facing the courtyard.



➔ King Bed

Anchored against the wall with a mountain print above and bedside lamps. Room-darkening shades keep the morning sun out for sleeping in after a powder day.



➔ King Murphy Bed

Folds down from the wood-paneled wall to add a second king when you need to sleep four. Closed during the day, it reads as built-in cabinetry.



➔ Mini Kitchenette

Single induction burner, microwave, mini fridge, dishwasher, sink, and Keurig. Sized for breakfast, après-ski snacks, and reheating Elk Ave leftovers.



➔ Bathroom

Tub-shower, granite vanity, stocked towels, hair dryer.

Two armchairs and a small round dining table for two; flat-screen TV on the dresser opposite the bed.

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 private access to the studio (Unit 120) and full guest access to the Grand Lodge amenities: indoor/outdoor heated pool, outdoor hot tub, steam room, fitness center, lobby and great room with stone fireplace, on-site ski storage at Butte & Co., and free outdoor parking with EV charging (one parking pass per booking).



The Grand Lodge amenities are managed by the building's HOA, not by Traverse. They are typically open year-round, but the building can close them for maintenance or events without notice. We do not offer refunds for short-term amenity closures since they are outside our control.



Self check-in by keypad — arrive any time after 4 PM. Check-out is 10 AM.



The Neighborhood:

Mt. Crested Butte is a small ski village built around the resort base, three miles north of the historic town of Crested Butte. The Grand Lodge sits at the base of Crested Butte Mountain Resort, with the Red Lady Express lift, ski school, restaurants, and shops a short walk from the front door.



✔ Red Lady Express lift base — ~5-min walk

✔ Mt. CB village dining (Public House, Butte Bagels, Avalanche Bar) — 5–8 min walk

✔ Butte & Co. Ski Rental & Storage — same building complex

✔ Free Mountain Express shuttle to downtown Crested Butte — stops steps from the door

✔ Crested Butte Nordic trails and Snodgrass hiking trailhead — 5–8 min drive



In summer and fall the Red Lady Express runs for hikers and bikers, wildflowers fill the meadows around Snodgrass and Washington Gulch, and downtown Crested Butte hosts art galleries, breweries, and the Saturday farmers market on Elk Avenue.



Getting Around:

Most guests bring a car for trailhead access, side trips to Monarch, and groceries at Clark's Market in CB town. The Grand Lodge has a free outdoor lot (one parking pass per booking) with EV charging.



A car-free trip is possible: fly into Gunnison, take Alpine Express to Mt. Crested Butte, and use the free Mountain Express shuttle for everything in town and downtown CB.

Interaction with Guests:

We're a small, professional Crested Butte property management team. Self check-in by keypad means you can arrive any time after 4 PM without coordinating with us, and we're available by message for the duration of your stay if anything comes up — broken appliance, lost keypad code, restaurant recommendation, lift status. We respond fastest by message or text.



We don't drop in unannounced. The Grand Lodge HOA handles building amenities and common areas; we handle the studio.
