The Space:
Grand Lodge Crested Butte #518 is a top-floor (5th floor), fully remodeled studio in the East tower at the base of Mt. Crested Butte — 3 minutes on foot to the Red Lady Express lift and steps from the building's heated pool and hot tub.
The remodel is recent: brand-new flooring throughout, updated kitchenette, fresh paint and finishes. The difference vs. the building's 1999 baseline is visible the moment you walk in.
The unit is an open studio: a king bed, a pull-out sofa bed, a sitting area, a workspace, and a kitchenette along one wall. Sleeps 4. Built for ski weekends and mountain-activity getaways.
➔ Sleeping Setup (Sleeps 4)
1 king bed + 1 pull-out sofa bed. Room-darkening shades, extra pillows and blankets.
➔ Kitchenette
Mini fridge, two-burner cooktop, microwave, dishwasher, coffee pot, toaster.
➔ Bathroom
Remodeled full bathroom with tub/shower combo.
➔ Workspace
Dedicated workspace with WiFi throughout.
➔ View
Top-floor window looks out toward the mountain.
➔ Grand Lodge Shared Amenities
Heated indoor/outdoor pool and hot tub (open 365 days), fitness center, steam room, lobby with fireplace, complimentary town shuttle, EV charging, coin laundry on every floor.
What this condo does well:
— Fully remodeled top-floor unit — the nicest version of the Grand Lodge you can book
— 3-minute walk to Red Lady Express with pool, hot tub, and gym included
— On-site free parking and EV charging
What to know before booking:
— Studio layout — all four guests share one open room
— No air conditioning (9,375 ft — rarely needed), no in-unit washer (coin laundry on every floor)
— Not pet-friendly — #518 is on the 5th floor; only 1st/2nd floor Grand Lodge units accept pets
Guest Access:
The entire studio is yours. Self check-in with a keypad — your door code, 5th-floor East-tower directions, and parking details are sent through the digital guidebook before arrival.
Shared building amenities — heated pool, hot tub, gym, steam room, lobby, and coin laundry on every floor — are managed by the Grand Lodge HOA and are available to every guest during open hours. We'll flag any known closures before your stay. Amenity operating hours can change without notice; refunds aren't offered for HOA-controlled amenity downtime.
Parking: one free spot in the lot per reservation, plus an on-site EV charging station (Tesla only, level 2). Additional vehicles can park in the overflow lot.
The Neighborhood:
You're at the base of Mt. Crested Butte Ski Resort. Red Lady Express — the main lift at the base — is a 3-minute walk from the Grand Lodge's front door. The historic town of Crested Butte (Elk Avenue restaurants, breweries, shops) is 6 minutes by car or a free shuttle ride away.
» 3min walk ➔ Red Lady Express lift
» 2min walk ➔ Butte & Co ski / bike storage
» 1min walk ➔ Mt. Express free shuttle
» 6min ➔ Downtown Crested Butte
» 10min ➔ Gunsight Pass MTB trailhead
» 35min ➔ Kebler Pass (fall colors)
» 40min ➔ Gunnison-Crested Butte Airport (GUC)
Crested Butte is known for locally owned restaurants, world-class fall aspens along Kebler Pass, and a less-corporate feel than Vail or Aspen.
Getting Around:
You can ski without a car — the Red Lady Express lift is a 3-minute walk and ski rentals + storage are at Butte & Co across the lot. For downtown, groceries, and trailheads, a car is convenient, though the free Mt. Express shuttle runs regularly between the mountain base and downtown Crested Butte.
From Gunnison-Crested Butte Airport (GUC): ~40min drive north on Hwy 135. Seasonal direct flights from Denver, Dallas, Houston.
From Denver International (DEN): ~4hr drive via Hwy 285 S ➔ Hwy 50 W ➔ Hwy 135 N. AWD and snow tires recommended November through April.
Parking: one free spot in the lot per reservation, plus an EV charging station (Tesla only, level 2).
