"Checking in was a bit confusing but got it figured out. The lights in the bathroom when a person was in a stall turned off shortly after entering, so ended up doing the paperwork in the dark. Was concerned about the yurt cooling off at night but that was not an issue. Wish there was a better maintained path down to the river. Definitely would stay again."

Surf Hotel & Chateau

10/10 Excellent
"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!"
