    I booked a 4 night night stay at this mountain jewel to visit my husband who was working in Telluride this summer helping his brother who is a building contractor on the Sunnyside Housing Project. He has been gone since June and telling me what a slice of heaven Telluride is so I packed up our two pups and made the 10-ish hour drive up to check it out myself! The property is truly lovely and the staff incredibly friendly and welcoming. What I loved right from the start is they really are pet friendly. I mean there were pets everywhere (but not in an obnoxious sort of way.) The parking is limited so they had us valet our vehicle (20 per day) and it is a bit chaotic on weekends when folks seem to be checking in/out but we were able to pull down and unload, etc. We were in room 4118 which was a second floor one bedroom at the bottom of the little hill. Our room was very nice, comfortable and had a rustic/mountain vibe with a full kitchen. What I loved the most was there is this meadow (I guess it is a ski slope in the winter) on the backside of our building where we took our two pups out several times a day to run, play and take care of their business and they loved it! Housekeeping checked in on us and made sure we had whatever we needed. There is a market up at the top of the hill within walking distance of the lodge where you can get groceries. There is also a little coffee/burrito/taco place that is open M-F limited hours that serves up really good food. You can take the FREE gondola (with your dogs!) down a short ride to the mountain village where there are more restaurants AND you can take it even farther by transferring to another gondola to take it all the way down into Telluride where there are shops and restaurants. I think some of the folks we ran into here live here? I am guessing you can buy into this place and it may be some sort of timeshare. Overall we were incredibly comfortable and really enjoyed our stay here and I would absolutely stay again.

    Our little patio area outside of the room

    First and foremost-PET FRIENDLY! Stayed here for 3 days and thought the room was beautiful, and the area was very nice. My room was on a corner, downstairs and the back doors opened up to a lovely little stream. There were two chairs and a table to sit at and relax. Unfortunately-the cleaners do not clean up the patio area and there was trash that was thrown about by past guests (who does that??), that kinda ruined it a bit. Pros: Nice well stocked full kitchen with beautiful granite counter tops, a full sized refrigerator, microwave, dishwasher, stove and oven. As soon as I arrived, everything did look clean-but because of the covid, I took all the dishes, pots, utensils glasses etc that I thought I would use and threw them into the dishwasher to 'extra' sanitize them. Beautiful cabin type room-well appointed with fireplace (double sided), couch, chairs, kitchen seating area Walking distance to nice grocery store with high-but not insanely high prices Free gondolas that takes you all over the town- and they are pet friendly-you can take your dog on them Nice walking areas to take your dog for hikes Mostly friendly staff (there were a couple not so much-but overall-most were nice) Cons Parking is insane- really hard-and their valet leaves a bit to be desired- Walls are paper thin-you can hear the entire conversation of the neighbors easily Bathtub and toilet both backed up on last night. Could not get anyone in to fix them-thankfully had a friend there as well, so I could use their bathroom. Tub was ok for showers-but did not look cleaned enough for me to ever think of using it for a soak

    View from our suite.

    The best experience. My husband and I Loved staying here and the staff was excellent. It's absolutely beautiful.

    Hot tub and heated pool next to the delicious The View restaurant.
    Joe A.

    It's all about the convenience here. True ski-in and ski-out just 50 yards from the boot and ski valet. We hit the hot tub every evening and took a shower in the lockers and went back to our wonderful 2 bedroom condo refreshed. The on-site View restaurant was very good. Shuttle service was excellent and drivers were friendly. They'll take you to the market and gondola where you have access to downtown Telluride and the ski village. It's all free besides gratuity to the drivers. So you don't really need a car unless you plan on going to sites in the surround long area. Rooms were tastefully decorated in modern mountain decor with all amenities. Only complaint is no in-suite washers and dryers. They have a communal mini-laundromat. Would stay here again!

    Lower level of 2-bd condo, San Sophia building
    Chris C.

    Not a bad place to stay overall in terms of location - located along Double Cabin run it's a few steps from the condo buildings to the slopes, where you can ski a short way down to lifts #1 or #10. To get to the gondola it's a 4 min walk on a footpath or you can take the hotel shuttle. The base village is a short gondola ride away, and if going to Telluride you transfer to the main gondola at base village - from there you'll ride all the way up the mountain and then down to the town. The accommodation however has flaws. We stayed here for a week in a small two bedroom condo with balcony (some units in same building are larger) on the 3rd floor in the San Sophia building with elevator and small lobby. Unit has high ceilings, as the second bedroom is a loft with no windows other than two wall cutouts above the living room - not much privacy or noise insulation. The master bedroom and bathroom are much nicer than the loft, as the latter has two narrow twin beds and very little space to move around, including the very tiny bathroom - hardly room to turn around without banging on the glass shower doors. Small kitchen space, crowded when more than one using it. In short, this is a unit ok for a family with 1-2 small children but tight for 4 unrelated adults. At least everything in the condo functioned ok - gas fireplace, aircon and good WiFi. Main Lodge has a restaurant on site which is convenient, although there isn't a lot of public space to hang out. There is a pool and hot tub but the "pool" with lukewarm water is no larger than the hot tub which is small and oddly shaped - a narrow triangle and can barely hold 8 comfortably - they should turn the pool into a hot tub too since no one ever uses it. This is probably the most unsatisfactory hot tub I'd ever seen. There is another tiny prefab tub but water is not as hot and jets much weaker. To get to the hot tub it's a hike up the hill in the cold (the bathrobes supplied in room are helpful), or make use of the gym (with all of 3 machines) changing room (locker key will require a $25 deposit). Ski storage - in room, on outdoor racks or in lockers located in each condo building. To get either outdoor rack key or locker key will require a deposit of $25. Indoor lockers seem to be harder to come by - either none are free or the keys are missing. Note also that on checking in the Lodge will preauthorize a hold on your credit card at $75/day.

    Wonderful gondolas  that take you to Telluride

    We stayed here a whole week beautiful location staff is friendly breakfast and lunch or amazing. Can't say enough manager is outstanding. Vu is spectacular. Now to the downside. Bed is beyond horrible. Dishes were dirty in the dishwasher. Housekeeping only does a percentage of cleanliness. And in my opinion, I think you should have a choice to valet or not to valet. But the number one thing is if they look at this I would honestly tell them to upgrade the beds because they are the worst beds I've ever stayed in other than that for stars. Also, when traveling to this hotel, you might experience altitude sickness. Differently make sure you bring oxygen drink plenty of water. This would've helped us a lot if we knew before we came.

    Caressa G.

    What a fabulous trip! We went off season, so it felt like we had the place to ourselves. The room was incredible, well stocked, (even bath salts for the deep bathtub), and comfortable beds! We were greeted by Colleen who helped us with everything that we needed and made our stay feel special! 100% will be back & recommend to friends!

    This lodge was nice. Rented a 1 bedroom for 2 nights and 1 day. The staff is very nice. The only complaint is that they have no AC. Open windows for cooling. Their location is beautiful and easy to get to the free gondola. The gondola is basically your source of public transportation when you're here, but it's a beautiful ride on it and very short and convenient. Love this town. If you entered telluride from Ridgway, please do the San Juan scenic byway to the million dollar highway. Beautiful and breathtaking views and worth it! Continue on the scenic route when you leave here.

Even coming from the "easy" approach (from Ouray, not from Telluride), our rental vehicles struggled in perfect weather. 4WD recommended for any trip there. 2. Opus Hut has bathrooms, but zero bath/showers. There is an out building with a wood-burning sauna, but that is as close as it gets. 3. Be prepared for a significant vertical hike at nearly 12,000 ft. elevation to get there from your car with all of your gear. 4. Be prepared for cold! Even in the summer it is cool and evenings are cold. There are stoves but no central heating. 5. Know that you are getting away from it all, and plan to get nowhere else while you are there, except for some beautiful hiking trails in the amazing mountain setting. 6. No internet or cell phone coverage. See #5. 7. The Hut has no soundproofing, so hopefully your group all likes going to bed or being quiet at the same time. My room had a giant window with no cover, so I was up with the sun every morning. Again, all of these issues have both pros and cons to them, and my 3-star review is classified by Yelp as "A-OK". So if you aren't scared off by this information, you'll probably have a great time.

We took the drive with a semi 4wd rental car and it was probably the most freighting experience of our lives ha. Poor planing on our side hut hopefully a lesson learnt for others. If you're a die hard mountaineer or people like us who enjoy a good adventure and getting outside your comfort zone, I def recommend this place. Thanks bob!

The hotel itself is charming, the room was very clean, and the staff was friendly and welcoming throughout our stay. The hotel is also pet friendly, which was a big plus for us traveling with our dog. The room was a little on the small side, but our biggest complaint was the lack of air conditioning. We understand it's a historic building, but the room did get warm. The hotel recommends opening the windows, but we were surprised they didn't have screens, so that wasn't an ideal solution. Parking is free, but there isn't a dedicated hotel parking lot. You'll need to park on a designated nearby block. The hotel does have a convenient unloading area in front, which made getting our luggage in and out much easier. One thing that was a little confusing when we arrived is that there are three separate entrances--one for the restaurant, one for the hotel, and one for the rooftop bar. We also found it a bit unusual that you walk through the restaurant to reach the hotel hostess/check-in area, but everyone was very friendly and happy to help. We also appreciated the complimentary coffee in the morning, which was a nice touch before heading out for the day. Overall, it's a charming historic hotel with an unbeatable location, friendly staff, and a pet-friendly atmosphere. If you don't mind the lack of air conditioning and a few quirks that come with an older building, it's a great place to stay in Telluride.

We generally love the amenities (though we miss the lip balm that used to greet us). The WiFi is now flawless. We have only stayed in rooms 35 and 37 (better views out of 35 but we liked the quiet of the larger 37 this trip). Rooms have been mostly refurbished (our rooms fridge looked battered but worked great; yes, they have robes) and are generally very clean but on this trip we experienced an issue (discussed below). Not in love with the pricing, which has only gotten higher. Hey, I guess if you can get away with it, go for it. Not at all in love with the money-grab of the parking situation. When we started coming, it was $10/day. Now it's $35. Not in love with the dog-friendly nature of the place (I'm allergic). Supposedly (according to the website and front desk staff) the third floor is off-limits to pets, which should make it a place I can sleep without problems. Well, this time we found the carpet of our third floor suite of rooms was heavily coated with long, white dog hair. I took a Benadryl and mentioned it when we headed down to breakfast the next day and the (thoroughly wonderful) woman staffing the front desk was clearly alarmed and _immediately_ had Housekeeping go vacuum and clean the room; they did a good job which got most (not all) of the hair, so I didn't mention it again. (I do love the responsiveness of the staff, and generally the cleanliness of the room - it's just a problem when there are dogs shedding on carpet). The included breakfast buffet is not what it was: less selection with no more cold meats and cheeses, but still pastries, yogurt, a warm egg dish and warm meats, toasts and hard boiled eggs. Great service by staff in the breakfast room (which moonlights as Cosmopolitan restaurant). Good coffee. So. The unexpected and not entirely removed dog hair - not good. The service was great and generally really welcoming and friendly. Rooms are nice. The location is fantastic. Breakfast is nice, but no longer cartwheel-inspiring. Pricing is high - but look where you are. However, parking is - no other way to say it - a ripoff and kind of an insult. Overall, I guess it's a 4 out of 5 . . . but it's sure not the hip-hip-hooray five stars that I always gave it before I delete my last Yelp account.

We chose it because it is right across the street from a lift and the gondola and has suites with large outdoor decks and hot tubs. Our experience could not have been better. Every single employee we interacted with, from the front desk to the restaurant to the cleaning and maintenance staff were friendly and professional. Our room (25 & 26) was large and exactly as advertised. They combined two rooms to make a really nice suite, with a fireplace in the living room. The deck was spacious and looked out over the area by the lift and gondola. The view was so-so as there are buildings on every side, but it worked well for us. We enjoyed the hot tub each evening. It was very clean and held a steady 103 while we were using it, despite the outside temperature being in the low teens. Their ski locker room is clean and well organized, with a separate entrance/exit that let's you avoid walking through the lobby in your gear. The complementary breakfast each morning was fairly basic, but was more than enough to get us going for the day. The waitstaff kept the coffee flowing, which we really appreciated. We had a small mechanical problem with our room when we arrived, and they handled it immediately. The room price is what you should expect for a large suite in a boutique hotel in a ski town that is literally steps from the lifts and gondola. Although pricey, I believe if offered great value for what we got from the experience. Highly recommend.

At the end, they agreed to pay for cleaning of the bag up to $250 but no restitution for several hours of wasted time and still insisted it was our fault.
