Purple Mountain Bed and Breakfast

Built in 1927 as the Crested Butte Big Mine office, Purple Mountain Bed and Breakfast stands as the town’s oldest operating bed and breakfast. This historic boutique lodge sits on a quiet downtown street, offering adult-oriented lodging (16+) just steps from local restaurants and the free shuttle to Mount Crested Butte Ski Area. Guests enjoy a rotating multi-course gourmet breakfast featuring locally sourced ingredients, including Italian Fritatas, Old World Belgium Waffles, and specialty grain pancakes with Vermont Maple Syrup. The menu highlights fresh Camp 4 Coffee and seasonal produce, designed by owner Chris, who trained under a nutritionist. Daily craft beer tastings feature four types on tap alongside wine and a rotating Beer of the Day, showcasing lagers, ambers, reds, hefeweizens, IPAs, and saisons. The property provides complimentary bikes for exploring town, slope-side ski storage, and an in-house day spa with yoga, massage, and steam shower rooms. An outdoor hot tub offers a place to unwind after winter skiing or summer activities like hiking, rafting, and fly fishing. The owners customize each stay by recommending insider local knowledge for snowmobiling, snowshoeing, jeep tours, and wildflower exploring.
