Crested Butte Mountain Resort Properties by Vail Resorts

Nice place. Plenty of room.

I booked through Hotels.com. When I called the resort, there was a glitch so they upgraded us to a condo (The Buttes #517). Staff don’t know what interiors look like - This is a rental but privately owned. Built in the 1970s & this unit needs major renovations. The carpets are stained & look filthy. The front door sticks/hard to open/close. There is a wood beam bolted to the living room floor (why????). No furniture on the balcony to enjoy stunning Crested Butte views, flooring missing/torn, a toilet/shower area that smells like sewer gas, a tub w chips & no safety mat. The bedrooms/1 bath are upstairs…a queen bed in one, twin beds in the other. There is NO cross ventilation - the twin bedroom has very high operable windows that you cannot reach to open. There is a circular, narrow stairway to the bedrooms that is dangerous, particularly w luggage, & for children. The bathrooms have low, old toilets - if you have knee problems, good luck. Rather than remodel, there is sloppy caulking everywhere to “repair” what should be replaced. I understand the ski in/ski out mentality, but people visit off season. The staff w Vail properties are powerless because it is a private owner. Maybe the owner will remodel when people won’t pay for something that should be maintained & updated. It was once a lovely condo….in 1974. Years of use and abuse has rendered it awful - even the handle on the microwave was broken off at the top. Don’t stay in that unit (517) until it has been remodeled.

The staff at the check in desk was exemplary. I specifically was helped by Reeves and Emma. I have never had a better check in experience anywhere. They both were efficient and very personable. They shared knowledge of the property and Crested Butte in a real conversational and engaging way. I would stay at these properties again and have already recommended to friends.

Definitely did not like having to go up three flights of stairs with all our luggage, groceries and everytime we went out. Wish this had been mentioned in the description

Gets a little noisy on the lift side from disrespectful loud people in the afternoon, but quiets down real nice and peaceful early evening. Tolerable and well worthy. Views to die for. Serenity.
