SHARED PLAZA AMENITIES (all Plaza guests):

✔ TWO hot tubs — indoor (pool area) + outdoor (3rd-floor deck)

✔ Sauna and steam room (inside the pool area)

✔ Pool table in the lobby hangout

✔ Tennis and pickleball courts with mountain views

✔ Free open parking in the Plaza lot

✔ Elevator access



3 PROS:

✔ The 3-minute walk to the lifts really is 3 minutes — we've timed it in ski boots.

✔ Both bedrooms have en-suite bathrooms — two couples or parents + kids, zero bathroom negotiations.

✔ Renovated kitchen + living room — finishes match the photos.



2 CONS:

✔ Both hot tubs are shared with all Plaza guests — peak après (4–6pm) can get busy. Indoor tub is usually quieter.

✔ No A/C — rarely needed at 9,400 ft, but south-facing rooms warm up midday. Ceiling fans + open windows handle it.



Guest Access:

Full private access to the 2-bedroom condo. Self check-in via smart lock — code sent the morning of arrival. Building has elevator access.



Shared Plaza amenities available to all Plaza guests:

- Two hot tubs — one indoor (in the pool area) and one outdoor (3rd-floor deck)

- Sauna and steam room (inside the pool area)

- Pool table in the lobby hangout space

- Tennis and pickleball courts with mountain views

- Free open parking in the Plaza lot — no assigned spaces, typically plenty of room even during peak ski season



The Neighborhood:

You're in Mt. Crested Butte — the base village at the foot of Crested Butte Mountain Resort. The Plaza sits at the center of it: lifts, après-ski restaurants, coffee shops, and gear rentals all within a 5-minute walk.



In summer, the village turns into a mountain biking and hiking hub with chairlift-accessed singletrack and the Wildflower Festival (Crested Butte is Colorado's official Wildflower Capital).



Historic downtown Crested Butte is 3 miles down-valley. Elk Avenue's preserved Victorian main street has the best small-town dining in Colorado — Secret Stash pizza, Sunflower, Soupçon — plus galleries, bars, and a free shuttle from the village so nobody has to drive home.



» 3-min walk ➔ CBMR lifts

» 2-min walk ➔ Mountaineer Square (dining, shops, gear)

» 10-min free bus ➔ Downtown Crested Butte / Elk Avenue

» 15-min drive ➔ Snodgrass & Woods Walk trailheads

» 25-min drive ➔ Kebler Pass (Sep aspens, summer only)



Getting Around:

You don't need a car to ski — walk to the lifts, take the free Mountain Express shuttle downtown. A car helps for trailheads, grocery runs to Clark's Market, and day trips to Kebler Pass.



- Gunnison-Crested Butte Regional Airport (GUC): 35-min drive — seasonal direct flights from Denver, Houston, Dallas

- Denver International (DEN): 4.5-hr drive — shuttle services available (Alpine Express, Dolly's)

- Free Mountain Express shuttle: runs between the village and downtown every 15 min in winter

- Rideshare: Uber/Lyft available but limited, especially late night — shuttle is more reliable

- Winter driving: Hwy 135 is well-maintained; AWD/4WD or chains recommended during storms

- Parking: free open lot at The Plaza — no assigned spaces



Other Things to Note:

HONEST DISCLOSURES — so there are no surprises:



3 PROS worth knowing:

- The walk to the lifts really is 3 minutes — we've timed it in ski boots.

- Both bedrooms have en-suite bathrooms — rare in a 2BR at this price point, and it means two couples never fight over a bathroom at 7am.

- The Plaza's indoor amenities (two hot tubs, sauna, steam room, pool table) make rest days easy — real kid-friendly après spots are rare in CB.



2 CONS worth knowing:

- Both hot tubs are shared with all Plaza guests — peak après hours (4–6pm) can get busy. The indoor tub area is usually quieter.

- No A/C — summer highs are mid-70s so it's rarely an issue, but south-facing rooms can warm up midday. Open windows + ceiling fans handle it.



OTHER:

- Elevation ~9,400 ft — hydrate aggressively day one, go easy on alcohol that first night.

- Parking is free open lot at The Plaza — no assigned spaces.

- Wood-burning fireplace — seasonal firewood provided.

- Quiet hours 10pm–8am (HOA).

- No smoking, no pets, no parties.
