We have stayed both in town and mountain village. We like the village because all the hotels are ski in ski out. If you have kids, very accommodating. Easy to take the gondola in to town at night but there are good places to eat in the village also.
Enjoyed the atmosphere but room was too small and noisy..be sure to stay away from dumpster........too noisy
Loved walking around and attending the light show in Heritage square. Starbucks is right there and it is just a hop skip and a jump from our hotel!
Spent the day in Telluride going in and our of shops. Took the gondola to Mountain Village for the evening. Skiers skied down the mountain with red flares while fire works were going off at the top of the Mountain. Great experience.
Mountain Village is a great family place. Ice skating, restsurants, shops, skiing all within a great village atmosphere. This place has it figured out. A very safe place for all family members. Don't miss!
Mountain Village is so picturesque. If I only had about 10 mil, I would move there in a heart beat. I spoke to a few locals and they were so friendly. Everyone that worked in the restaurants or shops were extremely friendly, helpful and truly appreciative of our business.
Yes it's elitist and only way you could own a home is if you are in the 1 percent or close to it, with it's million dollar homes Mountain Village is beyond most americans reach to actually live in. Therefore while it and it's resorts make money for the Telluride area long time town folk one can observe the differences when the rich fly in to enjoy the resort areas in their million dollar homes. For the rest of us who save up and visit as tourists if you can ignore the class differences it's a very nice and fun place to visit. Beautiful mountain setting and quiet and enjoyable to take the gondola down into telluride from here. The town puts on many events on on this December time weekend had a nice short evening skate exhibition put on in the town ice rink for free. Again as a tourist a wonderful place spring, summer, fall or winter to go and enjoy.
The layout of Mountain Village is ideal, as we were able to walk out of our condo and walk to cafes, restaurants, shops. An ice skating rink is also on the premises. Very close to the ski lifts, gondolas and slopes. A great vacation spot for the holidays!!
Very charming little village nestled against the mountain with great food and great people. Hiking, biking, skiing, fantastic music and great fun! Shops galore. Not a lot of night life, but you can't beat the charm. Great place for families.
So beautiful. Good restaurants and nice shops. Elegant and lively. Festively decorated for Christmas.
