SCOUT REVIEW
The Plaza Condominiums in Crested Butte are a longtime favorite among returning guests who want the comfort of a condo without sacrificing easy access to the slopes. Located just 200 yards from the Silver Queen and Red Lady lifts, this property offers all the essentials for a relaxed, home-away-from-home ski vacation.
Each condo is individually owned and decorated, so interiors range from cozy mountain rustic to fresh and modern. All come with full kitchens, gas fireplaces, private balconies, and separate living and dining areas—making them ideal for families or groups who prefer space to spread out. Many units have spectacular mountain views, adding to the alpine charm.
Guests can unwind in one of two outdoor hot tubs or the indoor sauna, grill dinner on the communal barbecue deck, or take advantage of the complimentary shuttle into downtown Crested Butte for shopping, dining, or nightlife. The property also features on-site ski lockers and laundry facilities.
While The Plaza isn’t technically ski-in/ski-out, it’s about as close as you can get without clicking in at the door. The short walk to the lifts means you can easily pop back for lunch or to warm up mid-day. The relaxed, low-key vibe and practical amenities make The Plaza Condominiums an excellent value base for exploring Crested Butte’s incredible terrain and charming mountain town.
Who should stay here
Families, groups, and budget-conscious skiers who want roomy condos and a convenient base near the lifts without paying ski-in/ski-out prices.

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.
