Summary:
CRESTED BUTTE SKI-IN ESCAPE — TOP FLOOR LODGE SUITE WITH YEAR-ROUND POOL & HOT TUB
Wake up steps from the ski lifts at Crested Butte Mountain Resort.

Whether you're here for world-class skiing, summer hiking, or a mountain retreat, you'll find yourself exactly where the adventure happens.
The Space:
THE SPACE
You'll have an entire hotel-style suite to yourself — not just a bedroom. The Grand Lodge is a 3-star condo property built in 1999 with genuine character. Your unit sits on the 5th floor and includes a separate king bedroom, full living room with a pullout couch, full bathroom, and a moderately stocked kitchenette. The building shows its age authentically (think classic 1990s lodge vibe), but offers exactly what you need for a comfortable mountain stay. The property is managed by a separate HOA company that maintains building operations and amenities.

Sleeps 4 guests total:
• Bed 1: King bed in separate bedroom
