Cristiana Guesthaus — Hotel in Crested Butte

Did a summer gettaway with the hubby to Crested Butte for some amazing mountain biking. We booked a queen bed room and we were pleasantly surprised by the quality we got out of the booking! The room itself was small, but I loved the small touches everywhere - had small tictacs and chocolates in the room. I also found the small open closet handy to put my carry on suitcase and hang clothes above it. There's electical outlets next to your head at bedside, though the USB port wasn't working for me. They have a guest refrigerator for you to borrow in the lobby (small, think dorm room size) if you have leftover and ofc a microwave in the lobby to heat it up.

The star was honestly the amenities that the lodge offered. The continental breakfast was amazing - Why? Because you could feel the homey touch in everything! From the newly prepared blueberry parfaits, eggs, bowl of fresh cut up fruit, to the bread and spreads options (toaster around the corner!) and fresh squeezed orange juice machine. They also offered some oatmeal options and other milk options as well. We stayed a Friday and Saturday night and they switched up the fresh baked pastry selection. First day was amazing honey cinnamon buns and cheese/ham croissants while the second day was small chocolate croissants and an either egg/ham or cheese/ham danish selection.

Afternoons were amazing because of the fresh baked cookies - they had four different kinds that you could chose from! I think I met one of the owners Hannah there who was so kind-hearted and answered all my questions.

Overall, we found their bike storage room secure though we advise other travelers to bring their own locks just in case. The bike washing stations out front were super helpful. They also have umbrellas and bikes out front that you can borrow as well.

Location-wise it was prime - they are right next to the main street so we could just strolled out and grab breakfast burritos for mountain biking and easily find restaurants to eat at night.

Definitely would come back again and stay here if I...

Pros:

Fantastic location near the shuttle—just one quick stop to the mountain. Breakfast was solid and a great start to the day. Convenient access to town, making it easy to explore. The common area is warm, inviting, and a great place to relax. Cons: (Reviewing Room #2—other rooms may differ.)

Extremely loud. This room is right next to the kitchen and common area, and the noise level was overwhelming. The walls aren’t soundproof, so we could hear everything. As a light sleeper, even with the provided sound machine and an additional one on my phone, the noise was unbearable. Lack of privacy. The window faces what seems to be a woodpile, and we frequently saw people walking right by it, which felt uncomfortable. Combined with the room’s proximity to the common areas, privacy was minimal. Cramped space. While I’m familiar with European-style rooms and their smaller layouts, this one was exceptionally tight, even by those standards. Uncomfortable bed. It felt much smaller than a queen—more like a full—and every movement made it feel like we were bouncing on a trampoline. The bedding was thin and underwhelming, making for a rough night’s sleep. Overall: While the affordability and location were definite perks, we likely wouldn’t stay here again. Next time, we’d rather pay the extra $100 per night for more space, better privacy, and a TV to unwind after a long...

The definition of hospitality! We will stay here again! This guesthaus is cozy and clean. We were there for a few days to ski in Crested Butte for the first time.

The free bus stop is pretty much right out front - about 100 feet out the front door and the ride to the mountain was short. There was a nice locker room (including a fix it bench) for our ski gear.

The restaurants/shops/bars part of town was just a short, beautiful walk. We walked to dinner each night. The grocery store wasn't far. There is a liquor store across from the bus stop.

The rooms are a good size - there is no TV in the room. We weren't there to watch TV. We hung out in the common area and met other guests, including one who had stayed here each year for 22 years! There were cookies and wine in the evenings and a nice continental breakfast each morning (great variety of food). There is a large hot tub outside. The sauna was right by our room. There was a TV area upstairs. I had to giggle - I heard people up there and they never had that TV on. Everyone enjoyed the atmosphere and visiting so much.

The staff and owners are all so sweet and great hosts. As I said - the definition of...
