About this chalet rental
Manitou Lodge pays homage to the old ski town vibe that brought people to Telluride.

To access the Manitou Lodge, guests cross the footbridge located at the end of S. Fir Street. Guests enter this two-story room on the second level of the lodge, which is only accessible by stairs. Upon entering the room, guests will find themselves in a cozy living room with a twin sleeper sofa, small vanity area and double doors leading to a great outdoor deck overlooking the river. The ensuite bathroom has a step-in shower with a glass enclosure.
Upstairs, the lofted bedroom has a queen Tempur-Pedic bed and a TV with Roku.
Every room at the Manitou Lodge has a mini-fridge, coffee maker, starter coffee, iron and ironing board, hairdryer and robes. There is no A/C at this property.
The Manitou Lodge has designated ski lockers, common kitchen and TV room, and a deck facing the river. The lodge is conveniently located right in Telluride by the San Miguel River, just two short blocks to Lift 8 and the free gondola, Main Street and Town Park.

Although the room is small, it’s a great property. Great location, clean, quiet, great breakfast and great hot tub. A real bargain for Telluride!

Perfect location quaint and cozy
You simply cannot beat the location for the price. Right along the river and just steps from the gondola. Many trailheads are also in walking distance. The space is small but had everything we needed and we are snuggly people anyway. Bed was comfy and shower was nice. The addition of a live in innkeeper made it kind of a magical step back in time experience. She served breakfast and an afternoon snack daily and was very helpful with any questions we had. The cowboy coffee cart next door is a must try. Best coffee I’ve ever had. The Sneffles Highline/ deep creek loop (14 miles) is one of the prettiest trails I’ve ever done. I left part of my heart in Telluride! We will be back!!

The photos do not do justice for how tiny this room was. There is no where to sit, no where to set anything down (like a small table, not already full of a coffee pot) You could not walk around the bed upstairs without jamming a leg or toe into one of the bed posts. Downstairs, with the chair (NOT A SOFA) folded out into a bed for our daughter, access to the bathroom was cut off. Not so awesome when one had to pee in the middle of the night. In addition the mattress on the foldout bed was a springy worn out mattress that would in no way be comfortable for an adult or even an older kid to sleep on. Parking is awful. We had to circle the block and wait for something to open up when we arrived. We were afraid to move our car for the entire stay for fear of no parking when we came back.
The walls of the unit are so thin that you can clearly hear conversations in the next room (we had the joy of staying at the same time as a group of loud women talking about finding rich boyfriends and moving up in the world. Again, we could clearly hear every word of their conversation).
We were traveling with a six year old child, and I REALLY did not like that there is no deadbolt to secure the main door, and the doorknob to the tiny deck is so shoddy that you have to pull on it with all your body weight to get it to latch and jiggle the heck out of the handle to get it to lock. It didn’t feel secure at all. Beware the mini fridge, it completely froze the food that we brought, even on a low temperature setting. The shades over the patio door and upstairs in the bedroom need repair. And at 200+ dollars per night, please get some decent coffee for the room. My husband and I both drink nasty cheap hospital break room coffee all week and neither of us could choke down what was provided by the property management for the room.

Nice little place and amazing property managers! Mangers were prompt to help me with my parking situation. Been coming to telluride to hike for 35 years but the lack of parking even with a permit is terrible, too many cars, people, sad. But managers were great.

Hot tub did not work. I was told by an employee that it has not worked for months, and by another employee that it was only a short time. Someone is not telling the truth. They tried to offer me another property with a hot tub for a large increase in money or a small discount provided if we stayed in this location. We really wanted a hot tub. We should have been upgraded for free. I should have been notified at time of booking that it was not working, not a couple days before when I was already on vacation. And, it is still listed on the property listing at this time. This needs to be updated!

Ski in-Ski out
Quaint European-like ski lodge within view of Lift 8 and the Village Gondola. Literally ski right to your door. This is a great location for those who like to be on the first chair. Vintage ski decor in the hallways and in the room. Not a lot of room to spread out, but great location to the town.

Location is everything with this unit. Within walking distance of everything downtown Telluride has to offer. Simple, small, and convenient gives you a reasonable rate in the center of all the fun.

Would be nice to be able to sign into your own television services? ie. signing into your own YouTube, Roku or Vudu accounts. I needed password to do this and wasn’t able to gain access for this. The property is very nice, clean, not sure about sleeping 3 though? Hoping to find a little larger property for this next year?

Everything was great except for the fact that an employee entered our room to try and give us a ski locker key without our request or announcing himself. Very intrusive.

Perfect Telluride stay
Everything was clean and I appreciated the contactless check-in, given the pandemic concerns. The condo was the perfect size for a couple, and was close to everything in town. A beautiful spot!

Our family of 3 came for 2 nights. We parked at and never got in the car until we left. Very close to Gondola over to Mountain Village. We were surprised at the size. We didn't realize it was 300 sqft during booking, but it was perfect! The hot tub was wonderful at night. Strong wifi. We debated between staying in Telluride vs Mountain Village. We were very happy staying in Telluride!

Perfect "Home Base" for Couple Visiting Telluride
My wife and I stayed at Manitou #11 for 3 nights while celebrating our wedding anniversary. The location is excellent for a home base while exploring telluride. We parked the car the afternoon we got there (finding a parking place can be a chore) and didn't get back in it until time to depart 3 days later. Everything was within easy walking distance.
The condo itself could use just a little bit of maintenance. For instance the blinds on one of the doors leading to the balcony could not be opened -- the draw cord was just worn out. But these are minor complaints! We would gladly stay in Manitou #11 again!
