It has been a while, but my wife and I had a delightful stay at the Crystal Dreams B&B in Redstone…read more The special treat was closeness to McClure Pass, one of the finest mountain passes in the Fall, and the closeness to Maroon Bells, perhaps the most spectacular and most famous mountains in Colorado. The location of this BnB is ideal for sightseeing of the autumn Aspen.

My daughter and I recently stayed at Crystal Dreams for three nights and we cannot wait to go back…read more The house is spacious but cozy. Our room was comfortable with plenty of pillows, blankets and an electric wood-fired style heater. The backyard is on the Crystal River and we enjoyed time by the river watching the birds, listening to the river and relaxing. Breakfasts were amazing with fresh fruit, omelets, waffles, stuffed french toast, excellent coffee and an assortment of teas! Lisa, our host was accommodating and friendly but not intrusive at all. She knew so much about the area and gave suggestions to keep us busy. She knew many local business owners and helped us researched a jeep trip, made appointments for us at her onsite spa (facials and massages!!!), told us about horseback tours and tons of local hiking. There was so much to do that we will have to go back. I highly recommend a stay at this B and B. You will not regret it!

My wife and I stayed here for our honeymoon and rented out the Teocalli King Room. The sheets and bathrobes were nice, and the stand-in shower was excellent. It was quite cozy with plenty of room, storage space, and amenities to make it as comfortable of a stay as possible. Not to mention the direct access to the hot tub was a plus, which was a great addition. The host, Chris, is a superb cook and prepares a high-quality breakfast every morning of a variety of delicacies. I'm not even a fan of eggs but his Southwestern frittata has made me a believer now. He's very attentive to allergies as well and will always do his best to accommodate. My wife has a severe gluten allergy and he was always sure to supply a substitute. The only other thing he hosted regularly was beer tastings at 5, which we were unable to attend due to our plans, but he does have a nice selection of brews stored for it. The views from the B&B are great and it's located just a short walk from Elk Ave, where you'll find all the main shops and restaurants. Even closer is the bus stop that'll take you up the mountain. Overall, I cannot recommend Purple Mountain B&B for your stay. For the price point, the amenities, and level of service you're getting, it can't be beat. Definitely staying here again when we come back some day.

Not only is it cute, the location is perfect and Chris is very knowledgable....not to forget a fantastic chef!

We stayed in the Crested Butte room which was cozy and reasonably priced; also took the cruiser bikes for a spin around town that are provided for our use. We LOVED our stay and absolutely will return the next time we head to Crested Butte.

Wake up to a beautiful mountain panorama and the smell of bacon, waffles, fruit and yogurt. You can spend a relaxed afternoon reading in one of the quiet, sunny common areas or go exploring the many outdoor adventures available in the area (we've been to the Black Canyon, Needle Rock area and snowmobiling to name a few). I highly recommend this B&B if you're planning a trip to/through the Northfork Valley. You won't be disappointed.

We stayed at the Gamekeeper's Cottage during our recent 4 day visit to Redstone to celebrate our…read moreone year wedding anniversary. We were seeking quiet, cozy surroundings to get away from the hustle and bustle of our busy days in DFW, and what we found was a gem of a town that will be a retreat for us year after year. The Cottage has all the comforts of home...and them some. (We don't have a wood burning fireplace in our home, so that was a treat for us and we used it every day of our stay.) We were able to cook if we wanted to (kitchen was stocked with dishes, pots, pans, coffee maker and french press, condiments, utensils, etc.), or hop in our Jeep for a quick ride up to the Inn. Janette was so attentive and made sure we had everything we needed, and everyone in Redstone was about as sweet as they come (and everyone knows everyone). Also provided: TV, DVD collection (great choices, too), cozy master, furnished master bath with heated floors, and a jacuzzi that served as the perfect place to take in the breathtaking view of the stars at night. (The photos and description seen here are faithful to the property.) Redstone itself is within a two minute drive of the cottage, and I imagine it's an easy walk as well (we had our rental so we just used it). This was the perfect home base for our Colorado getaway (we also spent a little time in Carbondale, which was great, and Aspen, which we'd pass on again). Whether you're seeking a romantic trip to the mountains with your love--complete with robes (provided), a warm fire (tools provided), hot tub (provided), and champagne (grab a bottle at the G Store, though don't be surprised if J&J leave you a little something)--or you want to reconnect with family and friends (dive into the board games, cards, DVDs, or head outside to play horseshoes or enjoy some coffee in the adirondack chairs strewn about the lovely lawn), this cottage is the perfect place to make memories that you will treasure for years to come. Just read through all of the sweet memories captured in the Guest Book over the years. You'll understand quickly why those who have had the pleasure of staying at GC don't ever want to leave, and can't wait to go back! Tip: Take the Castle tour and definitely have dinner at least once at Red's, the dining room at the Inn (best steak my husband ever had...and we eat well).

The accommodations and hospitality were outta sight! This was a dream vacation and we are all still talking about it! There was plenty to do inside and out with the rec room downstairs filled with games, cards, a bar, a huge TV that can do 3-D, movies, a ping pong table, and outside we had horses, 4 wheelers, and beautiful Colorado scenery. The rooms were very spacious and exquisitely decorated. We had 13 people in our group and it was not a squeeze. There was plenty of room on the outside decks, patios, various indoor lounges and living rooms to roam around and find a comfy and quiet spot. All the food was delicious. They made us breakfast, lunch, dinner, dessert and snacks. We were all very spoiled! I would highly recommend this trip to anyone! This would be great for a family but also for a honeymoon! This is own and run by a family and they really know how to treat you like a king! Hope we get to come back someday!

Not that knotty pine type of furnishings that you see in a lot of mountain hotels/lodges, it was sophisticated but still felt perfect for the mountains. The room was clean, the steam shower and cushy robes were GREAT and I LOVED that we could dvr shows in our hotel room! Pet friendly too, so of course our hound came with---he loved it too! I'll bump it up to $$ since during the high season it's still reasonable but not as cheap as we got it for!

Private entrance led to a large bright room with microwave and mini-fridge, tv, table and chairs and very comfortable king sized bed. The light colored bedding, long flowy ivory curtains and the sound of the creek right outside our windows created a very romantic/peaceful vibe. Bathroom is large and nicely appointed. There are two private patios, creekside, just down from the house. My boyfriend and I enjoyed sitting by the fire, listening to the water and sipping Prosecco. Then there was breakfast.....SO delicious. Stan made us what I would consider a very cheffy/gourmet meal; salmon, potatoes, eggs, fruit salad, english muffin and his homemade raspberry butter. Coffee and great conversation with Stan and the other guests made for a really nice time. Hummingbirds galore, places to hike and admire nature if you chose, or sit and just relax. It's also close enough to town to be most places within a few minutes. Wonderful experience, thank you Stan! Would 100% recommend and we hope to be back.

And what a booming town this little hamlet used to be. And that is why you should tour Redstone Castle. You need to buy your tour ticket in town. Give yourself another 10 minutes to drive up to the castle, park, and get over to the castle. But it isn't really a castle. No moat. No drawbridge. No turrets or towers. It's just a big house. And considering I live in Boston Metrowest - I have friends who live in larger, more ornate, tackier houses. Most of the first floor of the house has been kept in "original" condition. But since the castle has been operated as a bed and breakfast or inn by previous owners, all of the bedrooms have been updated. No telling if there is any resemblance to the original. Also, most of the furniture is NOT the original stuff, so again not sure if any of the stuff is even period pieces. It is still cool to walk around. And imagine living there 100 years ago. It's really about the coal, not the castle.
