SCOUT REVIEW
Crystal Peak Lodge is located right on the slopes at Breckenridge Ski Resort's Peak 7 Base Area, so all you need to do in the morning is put on your boots and away you go!
Although each condo within the complex is independently owned, they’re all elegantly furnished with especially comfortable couches. The walls are adorned with vintage ski posters and antique ski paraphernalia that are prevalent in mountain condos. Crystal Peak Lodge is made for families (with no studio condos) with options ranging from 1 - 3 bedrooms. Each unit has a full kitchen, fireplace, and great large living areas and bedrooms. Many have balconies and offer great slopeside views. A laundry in each unit provides ultimate convenience for those staying a little longer. Another great feature of the condos is that the living areas within the condos are quite large, making it possible to hang out with a group of friends or with the kids.
Services are kept to a minimum, which keeps the price tag within reasonable limits. A 24 hour reception desk is as far as it goes (except for the housekeeping, of course). It’s also good to know that there is no onsite restaurant or bar, but there is a restaurant located at the neighboring lodge. Crystal Peak Lodge does house a ski rental shop, as well as a games room for the kids. The town of Breckenridge is accessible by the gondola (open until 5pm daily).
Despite its no-frills approach, Crystal Peak Lodge benefits from being owned by the same company (Vail Resorts) that owns the slightly more luxurious One Ski Hill Place – located just across the ridge. So if you fancy a quick game of bowling after skiing, simply reserve a lane at One Ski Hill Place, and pop on over in the gondola.
Crystal Peak Lodge is a fantastic condo option for families, with ease access to the slopes and away from the hustle and bustle of downtown Breckenridge.
Who should stay here
Crystal Peak Lodge is great for families who are looking for quality accommodation without paying for services they don’t need. It is also perfect for groups seeking ski-in, ski-out accommodation in Breckenridge.
