Steps from the free gondola, the Village Bypass ski run and the supermarket, this beautiful condo is ideally located for those looking to ditch their car while visiting Telluride. Downtown Mountain Village and Downtown Telluride are only a quick, scenic, free gondola ride away.

The condo itself is a double corner unit, so there are no next-door neighbors (only above and below), allowing for windows on three sides of the condo to capture the setting. Even though the front entry is on the ground floor, the back of the condo hovers high above Prospect Creek and has a lovely view through the trees to the mountains -- morning coffee in the summer on the back balcony with the sounds of the rushing creek and rustling aspens can't be beat. This is one of the most privileged 2BR condos in Mountain Lodge because it does not directly face the street or the parking lot. The resort of Mountain Lodge has all of the amenities you might expect (restaurant, shuttle, pool, hot tub, workout room, hammocks, grills, etc.).

Christy Sports has a ski rental shop in the main lobby, so you can pick up your winter gear onsite. And you'll have ski-in-ski-out access to Double Cabin and Village Bypass ski runs (both easy "green" runs), just steps from your front door.

IMPORTANT NOTES:

NO SMOKING AND NO PETS. We are allergic to dogs and don't want to suffer when we are in our home. We also rent to those who are allergic, so we appreciate your cooperation.

Noise considerations: We occasionally hear footsteps from the upstairs neighbor -- it doesn't bother us at all, but for someone looking for complete silence, it may be better to rent a stand-alone house. The front desk can intervene for unusual noise. Also, the second bedroom is adjacent to an elevator shaft which makes a slight hum when in operation. It is rarely used and we've never noticed it at night.

Parking: Mountain Lodge charges for parking (all valet, usually $35/day). Parking is tight! Please consult Mountain Lodge's website for rates and additional parking information.

Management: The resort manages most of Mountain Lodge's condos, but this one is privately managed - hence the VRBO listing. The front desk will handle your check-in and keys, the local property manager handles emergencies/repairs, and the host/owner is available for any other concerns. All of our contact information is available through VRBO upon booking and also in the instructions binder in the condo.

Early check-ins and late checkouts: These must be arranged at least 48 hours in advance. A nominal fee may apply. Cleaning crews have tight schedules that are difficult to alter.

The second bedroom has a SPLIT king, which can be configured into two twin beds or combined into one king bed. By default, it will be made as a king bed unless you specifically request two twins upon booking. Due to limited onsite storage, we cannot make last-minute bed reconfigurations.
