"We had a wonderful stay at The Grand Lodge by Traverse Hospitality during our first trip to Crested Butte. The host and Erin was incredibly friendly and easy to communicate with. They even checked on us before we settled in for the night to make sure we had everything we needed, which was a thoughtful touch. The property was exceptionally clean and spotless, making our stay comfortable and relaxing. After a long day of exploring, it was great to come back to such a well-maintained and welcoming hotel. This hotel made our first visit to Crested Butte even more memorable, and we couldn't have asked for a better experience. We will definitely be booking here again on our next trip and highly recommend it to anyone visiting the area! 😊"
