10/10 Excellent
"We stayed in the YURT on 8/17/26 and it was so cute. The bed was the most comfortable bed I've slept on in ages!!!! The check in process was a little frustrating at first only because we arrived around 9pm and it was dark. Because Buena Vista is a dark sky community, there isn't a lot of lighting throughout the camp, so it was difficult to see where we were going and what we needed to do in order to get checked in, and where to park once we found the yurt, My only suggestion is to have a couple of guest towels available inside the yurt for showers. We're traveling and don't carry towels like that with us but had been camping for 4 days and needed to shower. Since towels weren't available, we dried off with the big brown paper towels that were in the bathroom, Aside from that little thing, we enjoyed the stay and I would definitely book again!"

"Paz was fantastic. Very hospitable, friendly and helpful. I love the breakfast setup where we interact with other guests and Paz. The property is absolutely beautiful inside and outside very and lovely. It's cozy, comfortable and clean. There are nice front and side porches with cozy seating and a swing. There's also 10-15-people gazebo with light and fireplace made out of a silo. Super beautiful and Instagram-worthy. The neighborhood is walkable with golf course right in front of it and peaceful neighborhood with beautiful homes and trees, and nice view to the mountains. Some of the guests have been coming here for years, and we'll do the same. It's conveniently located within minutes drive from the downtown district. The photos don't do justice. This place is much more beautiful and welcoming that you see on the photos. We'll definitely be back!"

"We came through to Crested Butte with not many expectations. We got in late, around 9, after driving 12 hours and looked like heethans. We came in starving and asked if we were appropriate enough to grab a bite and a drink. The entire staff was incredible and welcoming. Our bartender was pretty new, but confident in all he did and personable to the nines. I think it was David? Anyway, espresso martini and whatever my husband had were incredible, as was the homemade lasagna and gnocchi! It literally started our trip to be amazing. In the morning I came down to the gorgeous mineral pool and had some time and didn’t want to leave. Thanks so much for such a wonderful stay! Highly recommend!"
