The Historic Pioneer Guest Cabins Review

Located 10 minutes from the Crested Butte ski area, the Pioneer is a great escape for those seeking a rustic (but not too rustic) log cabin in the woods. Although these historic cabins lack TVs and in-room phones, they have modern bathrooms (with showers only), fully equipped kitchens, handmade wood furniture, and cozy down comforters on the beds. In addition to propane heaters, the cabins have either fireplaces or wood-burning stoves, and outside each is a fire pit and picnic table. With two beds apiece, the four small cabins were built as part of a historic ski resort that closed in the early 1950s. The four larger cabins, built in the late 1960s and early 1970s, have three beds and more of a modern feel than the historic cabins. Located in the Gunnison National Forest, the cabins provide easy access to a full slate of outdoor adventures. All units are nonsmoking.

About Our System

Frommer's ranks every hotel, restaurant, attraction, shop, and nightlife establishment it reviews for quality, value, service, amenities, and special features using a star-rating scale, an expression of the strong compare-and-contrast opinions that are a brand hallmark.

Other ratings provide stars based primarily on price and amenities; the Frommer's star rating is meant to quantify the kind of intangible, experiential elements that help travelers make informed decisions.

The "baseline" recommendation is zero stars--every hotel, restaurant, attraction, shop, and nightlife establishment that Frommer's chooses to review is recommended; otherwise, we simply wouldn't include it.
