The Space:

A 3-bedroom condo at the foot of CBMR — built for three couples or a multi-gen family of 6. Three King en-suites, covered garage parking for 2 cars, self check-in, elevator access, and the lifts are 3 minutes out the door.

Sectional sofa around a wood-burning fireplace. Picture windows frame the mountain. The default gathering spot when the skis come off.

Full-size fridge, electric range, dishwasher, coffee maker. Breakfast bar plus dining table for 6. Stocked with cookware, dishes, and basics.



➔ Bedroom 1 — Primary King (en-suite full bath)

➔ Bedroom 2 — Second King (en-suite full bath)

King bed, en-suite bathroom.

PARKING & ACCESS:

✔ Covered garage parking for 2 vehicles — no morning scrape-the-snow

✔ Elevator access from the Plaza lobby

✔ Self check-in via smart lock



SHARED PLAZA AMENITIES (all Plaza guests):

✔ TWO hot tubs — indoor (pool area) + outdoor (3rd-floor deck)

✔ Sauna inside the pool area

✔ Pool table in the lobby hangout

✔ Tennis and pickleball courts with mountain views

✔ Building lobby with warm-lit gathering area



3 PROS:

✔ The 3-minute walk to the lifts really is 3 minutes — we've timed it in ski boots.

✔ Three King en-suites is a rare configuration — most 3BRs at CBMR base include a bunk room.

✔ Covered garage parking in a ski town is genuinely hard to find — skip the scrape ritual.



2 CONS:

✔ Both hot tubs are shared with other Plaza guests — peak après (4–6pm) can get busy. Indoor tub area is usually quieter.

✔ No A/C — rarely needed at 9,400 ft, but south-facing rooms warm up midday. Open windows handle it.

The Neighborhood:

You're in Mt. Crested Butte — the base village at the foot of Crested Butte Mountain Resort. The Plaza sits at the center of it: lifts, après-ski restaurants, coffee shops, and gear rentals all within a 5-minute walk.



In summer, the village turns into a mountain biking and hiking hub with chairlift-accessed singletrack and the Wildflower Festival (Crested Butte is Colorado's official Wildflower Capital).



Historic downtown Crested Butte is 3 miles down-valley. Elk Avenue's preserved Victorian main street has the best small-town dining in Colorado — Secret Stash pizza, Sunflower, Soupçon — plus galleries, bars, and a free shuttle from the village so nobody has to drive home.



» 3-min walk ➔ CBMR lifts

» 2-min walk ➔ Mountaineer Square (dining, shops, gear)

» 10-min free bus ➔ Downtown Crested Butte / Elk Avenue

» 15-min drive ➔ Snodgrass & Woods Walk trailheads

» 25-min drive ➔ Kebler Pass (Sep aspens, summer only)



Getting Around:

You don't need a car to ski — walk to the lifts, take the free Mountain Express shuttle downtown. A car helps for trailheads, grocery runs to Clark's Market, and day trips to Kebler Pass.



- Gunnison-Crested Butte Regional Airport (GUC): 35-min drive — seasonal direct flights from Denver, Houston, Dallas

- Denver International (DEN): 4.5-hr drive — shuttle services available (Alpine Express, Dolly's)

- Free Mountain Express shuttle: runs between the village and downtown every 15 min in winter

- Rideshare: Uber/Lyft available but limited, especially late night — shuttle is more reliable

- Winter driving: Hwy 135 is well-maintained; AWD/4WD or chains recommended during storms

- Parking: covered garage for 2 vehicles included — a rare amenity at the CBMR base
