Crystal Peak Lodge by Vail Resorts

Highly recommend the Crystal Peak Lodge when staying in Breckenridge. The "condo" we stayed in was a 2 bedroom + den and the den had a queen bed. Three full bathrooms. A wonderful kitchen and spacious balcony with great views. A short walk to the gondola. Exceptional property with wonderful amenities.

The location of this property is the best! The amenities were great! Having the BrekConnect out front, ski rental and restaurant just steps away couldn’t be beat, along with the great shuttle service! We were very happy with our first visit to the area. Our condo 7310 was perfect for our family of 4. Can’t wait to return!

We booked this family(Mom, Dad, 3 adult children, 1 extra adult kid) trip through Pinnacle Lodging. Communication from the rental company was extensive. They were extremely helpful and answered all of my questions. THE CONDO....We stayed in Unit #7304, a 3 bedroom, 3 bathroom unit facing the mountains, non-slopeside. The unit is absolutely perfect for a large group. The rooms are spacious as are the bathrooms. I was surprised and delighted to find a steam feature in the Master shower. The living area has several couches, huge flatscreen TV and a huge dining table, great for eating in and playing the numerous board games that were supplied. Huge kitchen with all cooking and cleanng products needed, including a dishwasher. Washer and dryer with enough soap for 1 load supplied. THE LOCATION...Oh my gosh, the best! The view from is the room is magnificent! The locker room is just a few steps to the lift for better skiers. For the timid and beginners, a quick ride on the gondola, also a few steps from the locker room, brings you to Peak 8 where there are lifts to take you to several greens as well as lifts to the blues and more advanced peaks. Same gondola also takes you all the way into town for shopping and dining. If you can't make it back onto the gondola by 5:30 pm, the resort has an app which allows you to take a free shuttle back "on-demand". THE PROPERTY...There is a game room, pool table, and a bowling alley which we didn't utilize. The fitness center is awesome and has everything you could possibly need while vacationing. The highlight of the property for us were the outside hot tubs. One evening we enjoyed relaxing while being snowed upon! Inside the fitness center is an awesome steamroom which we enjoyed every day. NEED RENTALS? There is no place more convenient than Breck Sports located right next to the resident locker room. We had actually considered another place just outside of town. Boy am I glad that we figured out that Breck Sports was right there! The people there were very nice, answering to each and every need for our group. 2 of our group even needed waxing and edging of their boards...No Problem. They dropped them off in evening and picked them up first thing in the morning. I am totally spoiled by Crystal Peak Lodge. I will not stay anywhere else when I return to Breckenridge.

We've stayed in a variety of accommodations for our ski trips. This was our first trip to Breck and Colorado. We were thrilled with the convenient location of Crystal Peak Lodge. Upon arriving around 1pm on a Sunday, we were pleased to learn our room was ready and we could check-in. Directions for check-in mentioned checking in at One Ski Hill, but the desk at Crystal Peak was staffed, and the person who checked us in was lovely and helpful. Our early check-in allowed us to get out on the lift a day earlier than expected. The ski lockers are the most conveniently located of any lodge we stayed in. You walk right out from the first-floor storage with your skis, and you're steps away from the lift. There is a restaurant (Sevens) located at the lodge next door that provided a free breakfast with our stay. We also went there for dinner one night and dessert another night. The gondola to town is just steps outside the first floor as well. It was a convenient way to get around. We took the free shuttle home each night as you could summon it by an app and were given a nearby bus stop and time estimate. We did not need a car at all for our stay as we skied Breck every day. We used Epic Mountain Express and Summit Express to get to and from the airport. Our kitchen was fully equipped with plenty of dishes and cooking utensils, and pots/pans, and our room had a spacious layout. We didn't expect our two-bedroom unit to come with a bonus room and a third full bathroom. The bonus room had a pull-out couch, dresser, and pocket doors for privacy. So our sons each had their own space. Laundry detergent is provided. We used Instacart for delivery from the local grocery store, City Market (which you can shuttle to and from). I took the gondola down and walked to the grocery store one morning for a few extras. On average, our shuttle wait was about 10 minutes. We had some aggravation during our stay with a few things that weren't working in the room. Two of the blinds couldn't be adjusted, the microwave light didn't work, and the towel bar fell off the wall. Maintenance was very responsive and visited several times in an attempt to fix our issues. The issues were not fixed. Finally, later in the week, we experienced water leaking from the unit above us. After several attempts to fix this, management felt terrible. Again, they were very responsive in their attempts to fix issues. When we asked what could be done due to the consistent interruptions to our stay, Andrew from the desk over at One Ski Hill made sure we were compensated quite fairly for our troubles. Despite any aggravation we experienced, the friendliness/helpfulness of the staff and management, as well as the convenient location and comfort of the room made this a great place to stay with a family, particularly teens. My kids loved going to play pool in the lobby. It was so easy to get around. And Breck is an amazing mountain.

The condo was ok except for broken blinds in our bedroom and a dirty coffee cup found in the cupboard. The toilet was very slow to flush but overall it was pretty clean. Views from the room were nice and Gondola was right outside. We arrived and found out by a sign on the door that we had to drive down to another condo complex to check in. It would have been nice to know that before we arrived.

The rooms are extremely dated. Old smelly furniture, broken blinds, window wouldn't open because the crank was missing etc...They need to renovate the rooms in a big way. The staff was excellent. Very friendly and helpful. Location was also great.
