A lovely hotel option that is a 6 minute walk from our ceremony and reception site! Of note, this hotel offers only 33 rooms so book early. "The Old Town Inn makes a great home base for your Crested Butte adventures, wild or civilized. Conveniently located in historic Crested Butte (park your car and leave it there!), the inn offers hotel amenities with the personal feel of a bed-and- breakfast."

Another lovely option right in town! 19 rooms in this cozy lodge. "The Elk Mountain Lodge is nestled in a quiet residential neighborhood surrounded by historic residences, yet only two blocks from the Crested Butte’s “main street,” Elk Avenue, two blocks from the shuttle to Mt. Crested Butte Ski Area. Most guests who fly in for their stay at the lodge don’t bother with car rentals because everything is so convenient."
Travel Note
There are so many fantastic options on AirBnB and VRBO available in the town and up on Mt. Crested Butte! Renting a home would be so much fun with a larger group.
