We wound up having a wonderful, romantic, relaxing stay. Check in though was a unwelcome hassle because we are an older couple and without any introduction from the young person who checked us in, we were booked into a small room at the bottom of a $7 million house called Summit Inn that the owner has on the market for sale, way up the hill from the main Nordic Inn. People who stay there have to drive to get there from the Nordic Inn. We even asked what floor our room was on and she said the ground floor. We arrive at the Summit House on the steep mountainside about 5 minutes drive from the main lodge to find that it is 2 flights of stairs to even get to the front door. Once inside, it is another four flights of stairs down to our room. The windows all over the house are broken and can't open or close. We complained of course and then were given the room we should have had all along in the main lodge, 209. It was the last one the reception person said was even available. Beautiful, cool, clean, with a mini fridge and ceiling fan and only one flight of stairs to reach. Bring an extra fan from home because there is no AC. We also brought our own captain chairs which were nice to have to sit outside at night. The other reason to choose the main lodge is while there is just one shared hot tub there, it is lovely and breakfast is served in the cute dining room there (which is included with the price of the room). The living room is welcoming with board games, wine dispensers (I loved those!!) and comfy couches to unwind on after a long day, with nice music playing on the wireless speaker until 8 pm The location is awesome, away from the crowds in town and only 5 minutes walk from the chair lifts. Our bed was comfy, sheets were first class and every staff person was super friendly. We would return next time we are on vacation in Crested Butte.
