This was my first stay at Mountain Lodge at Telluride, but it will not be my last. I felt welcomed and taken care of from my first phone call to Heather, in reservations. She went out of her way to answer my questions and offered helpful additional information. She arranged coach services for my husband and I to and from the airport in Montrose, and we didn't have to worry about a thing. Checking in with Raul, virtually matched that experience, and actually, everyone we dealt with couldn't have been nicer. The Lodge itself, is not one but a number of buildings and cabins and is quite lovely. It is only a couple of minutes (by foot) from both the gondola and the village supermarket. For those too tired to walk after a day of skiing, the Lodge offers a shuttle service. Our 1 bedroom condo suite faced the mountain and provided us with everything we needed, including a fully equipped kitchen which enabled us to prepare some meals on our own. Other reviewers have commented on the the accessibility to skiing. My husband and I were initially surprised that we were not right on the slopes (since the lodge states that it is ski in/ski out). But truthfully, once we got the hang of it, it was very convenient. Yes, a little bit of a walk down to the ski run at the beginning of the day and a little walk up at the end of the day, but nothing that took more than a minute or two. And, again, for those who didn't want to carry their skis, a shuttle to either the gondola or the foot of the mountain village was available. We generally ski at Snowbird but have fallen in love with Telluride and will definitely return. When we do we will be staying at the Mountain Lodge.
