The Lodge
ABOUT THE PROPERTY
Anyone who visits Crested Butte, Colorado leaves with mountain-town envy. Full of historic charm and soulful spirit, the old mining town is home to Eleven®’s flagship property, Scarp Ridge Lodge.
The former Croatian saloon still has its Wild West facade, but the interiors have been transformed with reclaimed iron from the old mills in town and generous amenities, like an indoor saltwater pool and rooftop hot tub. With just six bedrooms, the intimate size of the property allows for quality time and personalized service for a small group of friends or family. If you need an outdoor fix, Crested Butte is the place to get it. Considered a mountain biking mecca, the area boasts the most stunning single track system in the U.S. with more than 750 miles of trails to be explored. Hike or bike through alpine meadows carpeted in technicolor blooms, or forested trails canopied in autumnal gold. There’s no set itinerary. Each day you choose your own adventure, from float trips where you’ll stalk rainbow trout, to afternoons rock climbing the high granite cliffs of the Taylor Canyon. Guests can combine their stay with a few nights at Eleven’s sister property, the fishing-centric Taylor River Lodge, just 30 minutes away.
At Eleven, we pride ourselves on searching out authentic locations that are far from population centers and off the beaten track. Crested Butte, Colorado is a small, “end of the road” mountain town with minimal through traffic. Scarp Ridge Lodge can be accessed via commercial or private flights into nearby Gunnison County and is within driving distance from many of the surrounding states.

SLEEP
Each of the six guest rooms is slightly different, with a mix of elegant and rustic touches, including earth-toned furnishings, jute rugs, and exposed wood beams. The seven-bed bunkroom, modeled after the board game Chutes and Ladders, is every kid’s dream. If you’re visiting from sea level, an oxygen-enriched air system can be activated by the flip of a bedroom switch to help fight the effect of high altitude, ensuring a good night’s sleep.
Hang Space
Scarp Ridge Lodge invites guests to kick back and relax as if they were at home. Guests have access to the open kitchen and snacks throughout the property 24-7. A five-stool bar, stocked with craft Colorado spirits and fine wines, opens into the media room, which features a drop-down projector screen. Active guests can swim in the indoor saltwater pool or hit the fully equipped gym. After a day of hiking or tackling single-track, recover with a steam or sauna, and stargaze from the rooftop hot tub.
