SCOUT REVIEW

Bear Creek Lodge in Telluride offers the comfort of a home-away-from-home experience with the perks of a full-service ski lodge. Located in the quiet upper Mountain Village area, this lodge-style property blends rustic charm with practical convenience.

Bear Creek Lodge offers accommodation ranging from cosy hotel rooms for couples or solo skiers. There are also spacious one- to four-bedroom condos designed with families and groups in mind. The lock-off rooms provide a simple hotel-style base with a private bathroom. In contrast, the condos offer the comforts of a mountain home, with fully equipped kitchens, generous living and dining areas, gas fireplaces and private balconies overlooking either the mountains or surrounding forest. The larger two-, three- and four-bedroom residences provide plenty of space to spread out after a day on the slopes. Therefore, Bear Creek Lodge is particularly well suited to families and groups who value the flexibility of self-catering accommodation and easy access to Telluride Ski Resort. Each condo is individually owned and decorated, so furnishings and specific features can vary between units.

Skiers will appreciate the lodge’s private funicular, which whisks guests directly to the Lower Village Bypass run in just a couple of minutes. While not strictly ski-in ski-out, it’s about as close as it gets without being directly on the slopes. Families will appreciate the on-site kids’ game room, with ping pong, foosball and board games. These games provide plenty of entertainment after a day on the slopes. For those who prefer to explore the village or head to Telluride town, the complimentary on-demand shuttle makes getting around simple and stress-free.

Amenities are well thought out for both relaxation and practicality. After a day on the slopes, unwind in one of the indoor or outdoor hot tubs or take a dip in the heated pool surrounded by snowy pines. There’s also a sauna, fitness center, and ski storage room. Though there’s no on-site restaurant, each condo’s full kitchen makes self-catering easy. Moreover, the Mountain Village core—with its dining, shops, and gondola access—is just a short ride away.

With spacious family-friendly condos, fun on-site amenities and convenient access to the slopes, Bear Creek Lodge in Telluride is a great base for a relaxed family ski holiday.

WHO SHOULD STAY HERE

Families, groups, and travelers who value space, comfort, and a peaceful location close to the slopes—without needing the full hotel bustle.

Bear Creek Lodge sits in Telluride’s Mountain Village, about five minutes from the main plaza via free shuttle. The private funicular provides quick access to the Telluride Ski Resort runs, while the gondola connecting Mountain Village and downtown Telluride is nearby. It’s a tranquil spot surrounded by forest, yet close enough to the action for effortless ski days and après-ski dining.

  • Short walk to lifts
  • Hotel shuttle provided
