Ute Lodge | Hot Tub, Walk to Trails, Big Views!

Ute Lodge in the heart of Mountain Village

Welcome to Ute Lodge, your mountain escape just minutes from the ski lifts in Mountain Village, Telluride. This expansive home blends the cozy, rustic charm of a cabin with the elevated amenities of modern living. From the moment you step inside, soaring windows bring the outdoors in, filling each room with natural light and showcasing the beauty of Telluride’s peaks. Leather furnishings, rich wood accents, and stone fireplaces create inviting spaces where everyone can gather after a day of adventure.

The lodge is designed with both relaxation and comfort in mind. The primary suite offers a spa-inspired bathroom with a deep soaking tub that feels especially indulgent after skiing or hiking. Spacious living areas provide plenty of room for groups, while thoughtful details give the home warmth and character. Outside, a private hot tub and al fresco dining area invite you to unwind beneath the stars, sip your favorite drink, and take in the crisp mountain air. Whether you’re après-skiing by the fire or sharing a meal on the patio, Ute Lodge is the perfect setting for creating lasting memories with family and friends.
Telluride itself is one of Colorado’s crown jewels. Once considered the state’s best-kept secret, it has become a top destination for its breathtaking views and endless opportunities for adventure. In the winter, hop on the gondola for seamless access to more than 2,000 acres of world-class ski terrain. When the snow melts, the mountains transform into a playground for hikers, bikers, climbers, and fly-fishing enthusiasts. Summer also brings iconic cultural events like the Telluride Film Festival and the legendary Bluegrass Festival. No matter the season, your stay at Ute Lodge places you at the heart of it all.

This home has 3 living room areas and 2 primary bedrooms, making it ideal for multiple families, ski groups, retreats, and large gatherings. Kids have a blast here while adults can entertain guests on multiple levels throughout the home.
