Located in downtown Crested Butte, steps away from all the popular restaurants and shops, Eleven Scarp Ridge Lodge is the perfect mountain getaway, in a renovated old saloon from 1885, no less. Sun or snow – it’s a charming stay, with only six bedrooms, and breathtaking views. Make this a home base for every type of adventure – mountain biking, rock climbing, float fishing, and horseback riding, especially, with scenic wildflower meadows and beautiful rivers nearby (talk about pretty). You’ll want some downtime too, when you see the hotel’s rooftop hot tubs, indoor saltwater pool and spa menu (plus bendy yoga classes). Bring the whole family, there’s room.
Once a historic house built in 1882 – first a private residence, then the iconic Spritzer Bar in the 1920s – today, the Crested Butte institution has been reimagined by Eleven Experience as a swish lodge, keeping its original charm (spot the buffalo head) but with modern care and attention. This is one for the whole family – rooms of all sizes, a cinema and we love the in-house saloon, decked out with a vintage jukebox, billiards table, and that perfect cosy feel for après-adventure evenings. Days should be spent outdoors in the summer and winter but come evening time, ask the chef to whip you up something wholesome or head out into town for something special.
