Cristiana Guesthaus

Built in the early 1960s as the first lodge for the new ski area, Cristiana Guesthaus stands as a European-style bed and breakfast in Crested Butte’s National Historic District. Situated just one block north of Elk Avenue, the property places guests a short walk from shops and restaurants, with the free shuttle to Crested Butte Mountain and the Nordic ski center only about 50 yards away. Francisco and Hannah Carballo run the family-friendly lodge, which features a cozy lobby centered around a large stone fireplace, a space designed for guests to relax with board games, puzzles, and books. The historic building offers free wifi, parking, and a 24-hour front desk, serving breakfast to start the day. The location provides easy access to hiking and mountain biking trails, making it a convenient base for summer exploration or winter skiing. The Carballo family brings a hospitality background rooted in Hannah’s third-generation experience from The Mountain Chalet in Aspen, creating a casual atmosphere where guests can reconnect with friends and family.
