SCOUT REVIEW
The Lodge at Mountaineer Square is one of the most convenient and comfortable accommodations at Crested Butte Mountain Resort. Located just steps from the Red Lady Express and Silver Queen lifts, this lodge combines the perks of a hotel with the spaciousness of a condo resort—making it a standout for travelers who want both luxury and practicality on their ski vacation.
The property blends rustic charm with modern finishes. Inside, guests will find a warm lobby with a crackling fireplace, ideal for après-ski relaxation. Accommodations range from standard hotel rooms to large multi-bedroom condos, most featuring full kitchens, gas fireplaces, and private balconies. The variety makes it suitable for everyone—from couples on a weekend ski getaway to families staying for a week or more.
Facilities are top-notch for a mountain resort. The heated indoor/outdoor pool and outdoor hot tub offer a great way to unwind after a day on the slopes, while the fitness center and steam room cater to those who like to keep active off the mountain. There’s also a ski valet and storage service, making mornings on the mountain seamless.
Dining options within the building are limited, but several restaurants and bars are within a short walk. Guests also enjoy easy access to the free town shuttle, which runs regularly between Mountaineer Square and historic downtown Crested Butte—a must-visit for its charming shops and lively après-ski scene.
In short, the Lodge at Mountaineer Square delivers on both comfort and location, providing a polished, convenient base for exploring Crested Butte’s legendary terrain.

About Crested Butte
Crested Butte, with its steeps looming above gentle beginner slopes, is the perfect playground for more adventurous families where luxury is not necessarily important. They’ll mix quite happily with ski bums who come to the resort for its expert terrain and a laid-back, hippie personality. Its historic downtown area is incredibly picturesque - old Victorian mining buildings surrounded by steep mountains with some fantastic restaurants and bars. Excellent ski school, impeccable grooming, and good variety of accommodation rounds out the reasons why Crested Butte is a terrific choice for a ski holiday.
