SAVE MONEY AT CRESTED BUTTE COLORADO
CRESTED BUTTE ACCOMMODATIONS
1. RENT A CONDO OR RENTAL HOUSE INSTEAD OF A HOTEL ROOM.
Crested Butte condo prices run slightly higher than hotel rooms, but over a
week’s stay you’ll save big on meal expenses. A family of four can easily
save $25 or more by eating breakfast at the condo and even more at lunch.
2. BRING ALONG ANOTHER FAMILY TO SPLIT THE CONDO COST. Three
and four bedroom town homes can be rented for approximately the same
cost as a nice one-bedroom condo. Bring along friends or another family to
split the accommodation cost.
3. CONSIDER RENTING BY OWNER. Many Crested Butte condo owners
rent “by owner”, meaning you’ll save an average of 25%. This is the normal
percentage charged by rental management companies to “rent” individual
condos. Plus, many management companies are now tacking on additional
cleaning fees, extra deposits, etc. The downside to renting by owner is that
most do not accept credit cards and may not be able to respond quickly to
maintenance issues. There are several reputable websites listing condos
for rent by owner, including www.vrbo.com and www.greatrentals.com.
CRESTED BUTTE RESTAURANTS & DINING
4. DINE OUT BETWEEN 5 P.M. AND 6 P.M.- Many Crested Butte
