The hype

Mountain Lodge Telluride
$300-$460 / night
Book this if You want a quintessential, ski-in/ski-out Colorado log cabin experience with plenty of space for the family, but don't want to sacrifice resort amenities like a heated pool and on-site dining.
Why People Love It
- True ski-in/ski-out access via the Double Cabin run
- Spacious condos and cabins with full kitchens and gas fireplaces
- Alloy Kitchen (formerly The View) restaurant with panoramic San Juan mountain views
Quick Take: The rustic charm and location are unbeatable, but thin walls, occasional housekeeping misses, and steep hidden fees can put a damper on the luxury vibe.
Reviewed by @ivethtravels: My autumn stay at Mountain Lodge Telluride was a dream. Waking up to crisp mountain air and taking the gondola over the golden aspens was unforgettable. If you want a peaceful, romantic escape to disconnect and recharge, this is the place to be.
