COVID-Response

The Elk Mountain Lodge is 100% open while practicing the County business hygiene and social distancing protocols. MASKS are required indoors at all times.

The Elk Mountain Lodge guest rooms have windows that open and do not have any shared air or central heat. The only shared air is the central heat in the lobby which is now upfitted with filters rated to 2200 MPR which collects bacteria and particles that could carry Covid.
In order to increase the fresh air flow that is proven to help decrease the spread of Covid, we will be leaving a lot of windows open in the lobby. The lobby and rooms may a be little cold in the morning or evening. Please dress accordingly.
Due to Local restrictions the hot tub may not be open until late Fall or not at all. Still waiting on county for exact dates.
If you are sick please DO NOT come. We will issue refunds, less the processing fee, inside of our normal cancellation policy.
Breakfast will served but our famous buffet cannot be offered because of shared utensils. We will offer a more simple plated breakfast in the lobby or to-go boxes for your room or outside if you prefer. Orders can be texted to us
The County NOW (6/8/20) requires masks be worn inside to protect everyone.

“We had a great stay at Elk Mountain Lodge! Very cozy and inviting inside…love the decor and all the plants. Friendly and welcoming staff; we appreciated the afternoon cookies, tea, and conversation. The secured bike room and outside bike wash station also made things easy. Hot tub was amazing (it’s always nice when they are functional)! Excellent location, close to everything. We will absolutely be back.”

“The Elk Mountain Lodge is a wonderful place to stay if you find yourself in the Crested Butte area. It’s location, mere blocks from the historic downtown area, is ideal for exploring Crested Butte’s restaurants and coffee shops. The hotel itself definitely retains the historic feel, while still having comfortable beds and clean rooms. The staff were also extraordinarily helpful and knowledgeable about the area. Would definitely stay again!”
