The surf shack was a great place for our family to stay while visiting Crested Butte. I was a bit skeptical about finding a good place since we were visiting in the summer (rather than ski season), but this place exceeded our expectations. It was a convenient location both for activities in Crested Butte and the Almont area. It was very comfortable for my three kids (ages 9-12), hubs, and me. My daughter loved the cows that grazed out back! The kitchen was well equipped for making meals at the house, or reheating leftovers from eating out. We opened windows at night, since we are from Texas and not used to no AC (it was 105 at home while we enjoyed 70-80 degree days in Colorado). We are hoping to come back someday to ski, and we'll look at using this property again, if we can.
