The Space:

The Plaza 340 is a 3-bedroom, 3-bathroom condo in Mt. Crested Butte, set at the foot of Crested Butte Mountain Resort and a 3-minute walk to the Silver Queen and Red Lady chairlifts. The open-concept living area has wood-beam ceilings, a wood-burning fireplace, a sectional sofa, and picture windows that frame the mountain. The full-size kitchen includes electric range, dishwasher, coffee maker, and full-size refrigerator, with breakfast-bar seating and a dining table for 8.



Bedroom 1 (Primary King) has a King bed and an en-suite full bathroom. Bedroom 2 (Second King) has a King bed and an en-suite full bathroom. Bedroom 3 (Bunk Room) has 2 sets of twin bunks and hall full bathroom. Every bedroom is a private King with its own bath — total occupancy is 8 guests across 3 bedrooms.



The condo includes in-condo washer and dryer, laptop-friendly workspace, high-speed Wi-Fi throughout, and baseboard heating. No air conditioning — summer highs are mid-70s and open windows are typically sufficient at 9,400 feet elevation.



Covered garage parking for 2 vehicles is included with the rental — a rare amenity at the CBMR base village. Elevator access from the Plaza lobby. Self check-in via smart lock.



Shared Plaza amenities available to all guests include pool table in the lobby, and tennis and pickleball courts with mountain views. The Plaza lobby has a warm gathering area with fireplace.



We do utilize a weblink outside the platform that directs guests to our guidebook. You will receive an email with this link. This is the ONLY way guests can access check-in information, and facilitates the collection of fees and other special requests/upgraded services we offer.

To protect your stay, you'll choose one of two options during online check-in: a $250 refundable security deposit (a temporary card hold, released after checkout) or a small damage waiver ($10/night, max $80).

The Neighborhood:

The Plaza 340 is located in Mt. Crested Butte at the base of Crested Butte Mountain Resort (CBMR), a 3-minute walk to the Silver Queen and Red Lady chairlifts. Crested Butte is a historic mining-turned-ski town in Gunnison County, Colorado, known for expert-terrain skiing, a preserved Victorian main street, and a designation as Colorado's official Wildflower Capital.



The immediate neighborhood around The Plaza is the CBMR base village. Within a 5-minute walk: Mountaineer Square (restaurants, coffee shops, ski rentals, ticket offices), and the Uley's Cabin / Paradise Warming House sled-up lunch venues. Gear demo and rental: Crested Butte Sports.



Historic downtown Crested Butte is 3 miles down-valley at the base of the Elk Avenue corridor. Highlights: Secret Stash pizza, Sunflower (organic farm-to-table), Soupçon (French-American), Kochevar's Saloon (established 1896), and the Crested Butte Mountain Heritage Museum. The Mountain Express shuttle runs between the village and downtown free of charge every 15 minutes in winter.



Summer activities: chairlift-accessed mountain biking on Evolution Bike Park, the 401 Trail (world-class singletrack), Kebler Pass aspens (the largest aspen grove in North America, peak color mid-September), Oh-Be-Joyful waterfalls hike, and Snodgrass Mountain trailhead (15-min drive). Winter: CBMR has 1,547 skiable acres with expert terrain on the North Face and family-friendly runs from the Red Lady and Painter Boy lifts.



Airports: Gunnison-Crested Butte Regional Airport (GUC) is a 35-minute drive with seasonal direct flights from Denver, Houston, and Dallas. Denver International (DEN) is a 4.5-hour drive with shuttle options (Alpine Express, Dolly's).



Getting Around:

You don't need a car to ski — walk to the lifts, take the free Mountain Express shuttle downtown. A car helps for trailheads, grocery runs to Clark's Market, and day trips to Kebler Pass.



- Gunnison-Crested Butte Regional Airport (GUC): 35-min drive — seasonal direct flights from Denver, Houston, Dallas

HONEST DISCLOSURES — so there are no surprises:



3 PROS worth knowing:

- The walk to the lifts really is 3 minutes — we've timed it in ski boots.

- Three King en-suites is a rare configuration at the CBMR base — most 3BRs include a bunk room.

- Covered garage parking for 2 cars is genuinely hard to find in a ski village — skip the morning snow-scrape.



CONS worth knowing:

- No A/C — summer highs are mid-70s so it's rarely an issue, but south-facing rooms can warm up midday. Open windows handle it.



OTHER:

- Elevation ~9,400 ft — hydrate aggressively day one, go easy on alcohol that first night.

- Parking is covered garage, 2 vehicles included with the rental — follow signage for unit 440 spaces.

- Wood-burning fireplace — seasonal firewood provided.

- Elevator access from the lobby.

- Quiet hours 10pm–8am (HOA).

- No smoking, no pets, no parties.

- For emergency / local representative: contact via the platform. 24/7.
