After five amazing years, the Wheeler family has made the unfortunate decision not to renew our lease.  We are very disappointed with this decision as we will not be reopening.  It has been an honor to serve our visitors and the Crested Butte community.  We are grateful for your support.

 The Forest Queen Hotel is downtown Crested Butte with the free bus right across the street you have easy access to the Mountain & Nordic Ski Center!
