Search Cripple Creek hotels

The best areas to stay in Cripple Creek are either directly in the historic downtown area or just a short drive away in the surrounding countryside.


For those who want to be right in the middle of the action, staying in the historic downtown puts you within easy walking distance of the main attractions. This area is compact and features a collection of historic buildings, many of which now house hotels, restaurants, and shops. The main street, Bennett Avenue, is where you'll find most of the activity, including the heritage steam railway station and several museums. This is ideal for couples who enjoy exploring on foot and appreciate the convenience of having dining and entertainment options nearby.


Alternatively, for travellers seeking a more tranquil experience with scenic views, accommodations slightly outside the downtown core offer a peaceful retreat. While not directly in the bustling centre, these options provide easy access to hiking trails and the natural beauty of the surrounding mountains. Many of these properties are still only a short drive from Bennett Avenue, allowing you to enjoy the best of both worlds.

The best time to go to Cripple Creek is during the warmer months, from late spring through early autumn, typically May to October.


During this period, the weather is generally pleasant, making it ideal for outdoor activities like hiking and cycling along the New River Trail State Park, which is a major draw to the area. The days are longer, and the temperatures are comfortable for exploring the local scenery and historic sites.


Families often find these months particularly enjoyable due to the abundance of outdoor options. The New River Trail offers gentle paths suitable for all ages, and local farms often have seasonal events like berry picking.


Couples looking for a peaceful escape will also appreciate the mild weather, great for scenic drives through the Appalachian foothills or enjoying a quiet evening on a porch overlooking the countryside.
