Black Bear Lodge

We had a family reunion get away to Crested Butte during the 'mud season' in May. We stayed at the Black Bear lodge and we had a splendid time. The lodge we stayed in had secured garage parking, hot tub amenities, easy walk and continuous bus rides to the downtown area, a full kitchen, washer/dryer unit, two bathrooms and two bedrooms and a nice outside deck area. Also for skiing season there are skii lockers in the main entrance area. The room also included robes for the hot tub, all the kitchen items for cooking/ eating, extra pillows/towels/blankets and fans for white noise. They are also pet friendly, as long as the animals stay off the furniture. The only negative I have to say is upon leaving the host requested for us to start our towels/laundry, take out the trash/recycling and

We stayed in a 3 bedroom condo with our toddler, 2 other couples and their 2 children for a weekend of mountain biking in the fall. The lodge is nicely decorated and inviting, but the overall feel is cramped. ||We had a first floor unit, and it is one level. All 3 bedrooms are small and the furniture fills up the space, not leaving much room for luggage or movement. The opening for the TV above the fireplace in the living room was so small that the DVD player did not fit, and had to be dangled from an ottoman to span the electrical outlet and the TV connections. There are 3 bathrooms which is great when there are 3 families. ||The lodge is right next to the recreation path that goes into Crested Butte (Black Bear Lodge is 2 miles up the road in Mt. Crested Butte). It is also in walk

We had hoped to book a room at The Lodge at Mountaineer Square (where we have stayed before) because we like the location so much (easy access to various restaurants, mini-golf, ski lift, etc.), and the rooms are gorgeous, spacious, and exceptionally clean. However, we were a little late making our plans and The Lodge was all booked up. We ended up booking with Black Bear Lodge and then were disappointed that we couldn't find much info or many pictures online. The staff was pretty good about responding to our questions via email. The Black Bear is about a 12 minute walk to the aforementioned activities (not bad). The accommodations were very nice. We booked unit 308, a one-bedroom with king bed, queen sofa-sleeper, kitchen, living room, deck (no deck chairs), and a loft with another

We just returned from the Black Bear Lodge for a 5 night stay. We traveled with a group of 10 and rented a 2 BD/2BA and a 3 BD/3BA condo. We had 4 ppl in the 2 BD and the remaining 6 in teh 3 BD. ||||I would not recommend anymore then 4 ppl in 2 BD and no more than 6 in the 3 BD as the rooms are kind of cramp. But, the comfortable decorations and views made the stay enjoyable. ||||The only major compliant I have is the hot tub was out of service. The first day we were there it was working and there was a group of about 8 college kids sitting in it all day drinking and smoking. The next day it was closed and we called property mgmt and they would not disclose why it was closed but that it would be opened the next day.||||Well, that did not happen. So, we called the owner of both condos we r

I've spent a week here in the Winter and most recently a week here in the Summer with Black Bear Lodge fitting the bill both times. In the Winter BBL puts you just 100 yards from a primary lift. In the Summer BBL gives you easy access to a paved 3-mile walking path down the mountain to the village of Crested Butte and all of its restaurants and shops. A free shuttle bus will take you(and your bike) back up the mountain dropping you off almost at BBL's front door.||||BBL includes a spacious indoor garage, elevators, secure ski lockers, a gas-fired grill, a new out door hot tub and other extras.||||Try to rent #103, a 3 BR/3bath unit close to the aforementioned amenities. This is a well maintained very well equipped condo with 4 flat screen TVs, fully stocked kitchen, a stone gas fire pl
