Our group had 3 rooms. What a great place. The breakfasts were delicious. The inn was very comfortable and cozy, perfect for a ski vacation. It’s located basically downtown so everything was close. We took the bus up to the ski mountain… very convenient. We also skied x country which was even more convenient.

Friendly, inviting, delicious

The Elk Mountain Lodge was an absolute delight. From the check-in staff diligently texting instructions and making my check in easy given the possibility of late arrival, to the homemade breakfasts and evening cookies, to the setting in what appears to be a retrofitted 20th century mansion, everything synthesizes together to create a warm, friendly, inviting vibe. And you still get the ski-conveniences and luxuries like a ski rack room and hot tub. Wonderful place.

1919 Historic Great Hotel in the heart of town

Our stay here was for only one night, wish we had more. We originally were going to camp, but weather got in the way. We were to camp Friday and Saturday then I booked this for Sunday into Monday. Once we figured we weren't going to camp, it wasn't available Fri and Sat. Would definitely stay here again, so close to everything in town, and the bed was the best part, so comfortable. Place was very clean, didn't eat breakfast as they put walnuts in the french toast, I would say put those on the side for those who are allergic or do not like them at all. Great place.

The staff, especially Mark, were friendly and accommodating. The full breakfast that was included had a casserole dish, fruit, boiled eggs and a variety of breads. We really enjoyed the spinach, egg casserole. We would have liked more specialty coffees available 24/7. The rooms were adequate for an old historical boarding house. Shampoo, conditioner and make up remover wipes provided. Really our only challenge was the hot tub was not fully heated when we went to use it-only 91 degrees. But it is large enough for 7-8 people and nice. The small bar was cute and wine was provided when we asked. Overall, it was a great place to stay for a couples getaway. And only a few blocks from the Main Street with restaurants and shops.

The property, the location and the staff were awesome! Chris at the front desk was great and makes a good Old Fashioned. Even the morning breakfasts, while limited in selection, we're very good. I would stay here again, but you need to be aware... ...the dump truck traffic through all hours of the night was unbearable. It sounds like someone running up and down the street with trash cans on rollers. I believe they were removing snow so I gave more grace, but it was ridiculously loud and at all hours of the night. It's not EML's fault but the city manager needs to address in some way.

Such a homey welcoming experience. Simple and rustic, one block from the Main Street. Just what we were looking for. Friendly staff, yummy breakfast, homemade cookies and tea in the afternoon and comfortable beds. Loved it here. Hope to be back soon!

Wow. Felt like we were staying at a relative's home for the week. Doug - you made our stay in CO amazing. Basic hotel, great breakfast, perfect location (not smack in the center of town, but close enough for everything to be convenient), safe, comfortable.

Cute little boutique hotel in a great area. Small room, a bit creaky and a/c is a window fan right at a bedside. But overall a great experience. Would definitely stay again.

Affordable and Fantastic Service

Love the Elk Mountain Lodge! As a former longtime, Gunnison county resident, I have stayed there before with family and my girlfriend and I decided to choose this fantastic lodging option again. Walkable and close to everything in town, including the mountain shuttle. Special shout out to the fantastic service by Eric and Doug as we had to leave a day early and they provided us a full refund for unused night. Don’t hesitate to check out the elk Mountain Lodge, one of the better lodging options in downtown Crested Butte!
