Avis Lofted Lodge Escape Near Ski Lifts, Festivals and Historic Downtown

The innkeeper was terrific -- she even carried my suitcase up the loft steps (that I had overlooked in the listing). Gorgeous setting.

The walls are paper thin and we were unable to sleep—we could hear the person in the room next door snoring! It was horrible. And people didn’t follow the rules and take their ski boots off outside so could hear people stomping up and down stairs of their room early in the AM—and our room was a top floor room. Property manager was very friendly and we received a partial refund due to the disruption as we left a day earlier than planned because of the poor sleep due to noise. If the walls were soundproof it would be a perfect place to stay in Telluride as it’s a nice property in a great location.

The location (near the gondola) was terrific. The accommodations were adequate, but not spectacular. In my view, I think that the accommodations were a bit pricey, but that’s Telluride. The property manager was very nice.

Fantastic location! Quaint lodge with small-ish rooms but great common facilities including kitchen/living room area and a surprisingly good hot tub.

This property was perfect for my husband, myself and young daughter. We loved being so close to the river, walking distance to all of the shops & restaurants and to a few hikes too. The community kitchen was perfect and very convenient as well.

Cozy and groovy unit on the river. Can't beat the location! The mattress is showing it's age and could use a flip/turn at the very least.

The biggest advantage of this property was being such a short walk to the free gondola, the lifts, and downtown Telluride. Access to the slopes is literally the next best thing to a ski in/ski out unit. The unit itself is tiny, like REALLY tiny, and the bed is in a loft above a small area on the lower floor that includes a bathroom (shower and toilet) and a living area (couch and sink). The bathroom was clean and functioned well and the pullout twin couch was plenty big enough for our 8 year old daughter, but I would highly doubt a grown adult would feel the same. The stairs between the upper and lower floors is very steep and narrow and the gripper strips on the top two steps were missing. As a result my husband ended up falling halfway down the stairs due to slipping on those top two steps. So be careful. There's a mini fridge and a coffee maker, but no stove or microwave. The common room kitchen also lacks a microwave (I really HIGHLY suggest the unit owners all pitch in for a microwave, that was a big downer). Labeling the cabinets and drawers of the common room would also be very helpful. We were also super disappointed to discover that the hot tub was out of order for repairs of some kind as we had been looking forward to a hot soak after skiing all day. The unit was very warm, we never had a problem staying cozy, one night we even opened the upstairs window it got so toasty even with the thermostat on 68. It has a really pretty view of the river and the whole building and area was very quiet and chill. Plenty of bars and pubs in the neighborhood and a specified area for public consumption but no one was a donkey and everyone behaved responsibly. It was clean, conveniently located, just big enough, and reasonably priced. It isn't perfect, but it's a budget friendly place to lay your head that is super close to slope access. Check in and out process was super easy. The staff were extremely helpful, even let us use packing tape at the office when our gear rental company neglected to include it. They also helped us to coordinate returning our parking tag we forgot to leave behind to avoid a fine. Overall I give it 4.5 out of 5 stars.

We loved this place - it was even cozier and cuter than the pictures said. We stayed two nights and loved the short walk to the gondola as well as a block to liquor stores or the market. Very great stay!

Nothing more to say...exceptional location, clean room, easiest check-in of my life. Highly recommend.

Wonderful spot for a couple wanting to stay in town. Check in was quick, contact-free and no-hassle.
