There are a few things about Crested Butte that
make finding a place to stay simple. Our town is small
and most of the accommodations are within a few blocks
of the shops and restaurants downtown. Most of the accommodations
on the mountain are within walking distance to the base
area and the free shuttle bus. The free bus runs quite
frequently between the Towns of Mt. Crested Butte and Crested
Butte for your convenience.
Here are a few of the places in town to lay your weary head
after a day of enjoying the area’s variety of activities. These are only a few of
our favorites. For a more extensive list of other accommodations check out the

of Commerce,
