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

5. EAT OUT FOR LUNCH INSTEAD OF DINNER. Most Crested Butte
restaurants offer lunch specials at half the price of their dinners. Also

6. CHOOSE A HOTEL OFFERING FREE BREAKFAST-If you stay in a
hotel, chose one that offers free breakfast so you can fill up before
