The Silver Queen lift is 100 yards from the front door — walkable in ski boots, no shuttle or car needed. Sleeps-6 capacity is comfortable with 4 in beds and 2 on the sofa bed; 6 full-time adults sharing the space should plan accordingly. The building is residential, not a hotel, so quiet hours and HOA rules apply.

✔ Tennis + pickleball included



➔ Cons

✔ Queen sofa bed for 5th/6th guest — best for kids, teens, or flexible adults

✔ No on-site staff 24/7 — this is a managed condo, not a hotel

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:

The entire condo is yours. Contactless check-in via keypad — the entry code and full instructions arrive in our digital guidebook before arrival. An elevator runs from the covered parking garage directly to your floor.



Two covered parking comes with the reservation — no scraping snow off the car, no searching for a spot during storm days.



Pickleball court, tennis court, ski locker room, and the Iron Horse Tap restaurant are shared building amenities accessible to all Plaza at Woodcreek guests.



The Neighborhood:

Plaza 538 sits at the base of Mt. Crested Butte — the resort side of the valley, where the Silver Queen and Red Lady lifts, ski school, and après bars are a short walk from the front door.



Walkable from the front door:

— 2 min / 100 yds — Silver Queen lift (primary resort base lift)

— 3 min — Red Lady Express

— 5 min — West Wall Lift

— <10 min — The Eldo, Butte 66, Coal Breaker Coffee, base village shops

— Same building — Iron Horse Tap restaurant (peak season)



A quick shuttle ride:

— 8 min on the free Mountain Express — Historic town of Crested Butte (Victorian Elk Avenue, restaurants, bars, galleries, more dining variety)



The Mountain Express shuttle runs all day, every day, about every 15 minutes — most guests ski from the condo by day, then shuttle into the town of CB for dinner.



Year-round destination: summer brings world-class mountain biking (Crested Butte is the birthplace of the sport), Colorado wildflower hiking, the Wildflower Festival in July, and the Crested Butte Music Festival. Fall is one of the state's best aspen color runs over Kebler Pass.



Mt. Crested Butte vs. the town of Crested Butte: Mt. Crested Butte (where Plaza 538 is) is the resort base — lifts, ski school, and mountain-side restaurants. The town of Crested Butte, 3 miles down the road, is the Victorian mining-town Elk Avenue with more dining variety, galleries, and nightlife. The free shuttle links them continuously.



Getting Around:

You don't need a car to ski — but you'll want one for the trip in.



From Gunnison (GUC): ~40 min drive. Closest commercial airport with direct flights from Denver, Dallas, Houston, and seasonal cities. Rental cars at the airport.

From Denver (DEN): ~4 hr drive via US-285 → US-50 → CO-135. Two mountain passes — Monarch is the higher one. 4WD or chains recommended November through April.

From Eagle/Vail (EGE): ~2.5 hr drive — backup if Gunnison flights are sold out.



Once on-site at Plaza 538:

The Silver Queen lift is 100 yards from the front door — walk it in ski boots. Red Lady Express is a 3-min walk; West Wall is 5. The free Mountain Express shuttle runs to the town of Crested Butte all day every day — no driving needed for a night out in town. 2 covered parking comes with the reservation, so a car is convenient if guests want to explore further (Kebler Pass, hot springs, Taylor Reservoir day trips).



Rideshare in Mt. Crested Butte is very limited. Plan on the free shuttle, your own car, or a pre-booked private driver.
