The Space:

A true one-bedroom condo on the 2nd floor of the Grand Lodge's West building (elevator access) — a separate bedroom with a door plus a living room, set up for a small family or two couples.



➔ Bedroom: A separate bedroom with a king bed and a door that closes — a quiet room apart from the living space.

➔ Living Room: A sofa bed folds out at night, so four sleep comfortably with the bedroom kept separate.

➔ Kitchenette: Stove, mini fridge, microwave, dishwasher, coffee maker, and cookware — cook a simple meal in.

➔ Bathroom: One full bathroom with a tub.

➔ Pets: Dogs are genuinely welcome — easy in and out for walks, with trails and town a short stroll away.

➔ Building Amenities: Indoor and outdoor heated pools, hot tub, gym, elevator, and a fireplace lobby.



3 Pros:

✔ A true 1-bedroom that sleeps 4 — rare in the Grand Lodge, where most units are studios

✔ Indoor and outdoor heated pools plus a hot tub for after a day out

✔ Free town shuttle steps away; shops & dining right at the Red Lady Express base



2 Cons:

✗ Built in 1999, a 3-star building with dated finishes; with a window open you may notice smoke from a neighbor

✗ No A/C and no in-unit washer/dryer (coin laundry in the building)



Guest Access:

You have the entire condo to yourself, plus full access to the Grand Lodge's shared amenities: the indoor and outdoor heated pools, hot tub, gym, and fireplace lobby. There's an elevator to the 2nd floor. Check in yourself anytime with the keypad code — there's no front desk at the Grand Lodge, but we respond quickly by message. Your unit comes with free parking and easy in-and-out for walks with your dog. Shared amenities are operated by the building's HOA and can occasionally close for maintenance.



The Neighborhood:

The Grand Lodge sits at the base of Mt. Crested Butte, a short walk from the Crested Butte Mountain Resort lifts, with shops and dining right at the Red Lady Express base and the free town shuttle stopping steps away (it runs to town about every 15 minutes). Summer trails leave from the base, and a convenience store and coffee are close by. Historic downtown Crested Butte and its Elk Avenue — galleries, restaurants, and preserved Old West architecture — are about a seven-minute drive. The area is a year-round outdoor base: skiing and snowshoeing in winter; hiking, mountain biking, rafting, and wildflower season in summer. The Gunnison-Crested Butte Regional Airport (GUC) is about a 45-minute drive.



Getting Around:

You don't need a car here — the lifts, shops, dining, and a convenience store are all within a short walk, and the free town shuttle stops steps from the door (about every 15 minutes to historic downtown Crested Butte, roughly 7 minutes away). If you do drive, your unit comes with free parking. The Gunnison-Crested Butte Regional Airport (GUC) is about a 45-minute drive; Denver is roughly 4 hours.
