Blue Collar Boutique: Affordable Adventure for ALL
Our Blue Collar Boutique unit is located within one of Colorado’s most iconic ski-in/ski-out resorts! The Mountain Lodge is nestled among the majestic 14,000 foot peaks of Colorado's San Juan mountains and is surrounded by acres of pristine ski terrain. This breathtaking property exudes a chic, yet rustic charm and provides guests with a premium luxury ski vacation! We operate by an "Adventures for All" policy and keep our prices low while offering a top-notch Telluride experience!
This one-bedroom suite features warm design, a personal patio, a cozy fireplace, a full kitchen with new appliances, ample storage space and a full rotation of resort-style services! We stock our unit with premium coffees, teas, snacks, sparkling waters and your first round for Happy Hour! Our guests are also invited to enjoy après ski cocktails (with crazy dramatic mountain views!) at The View Bar & Grill. This gourmet gastro-pub serves up creative cuisine, craft beers and cocktails and is a stones throw from your private deck entrance. After a day of mountain adventures, soak and swim in the stunning outdoor pool and hot tub deck surrounded by the jagged San Juan peaks! Recharge in the fitness center, detox in the steam room or lounge next to the massive stone fireplace next to the bar. Mountain Lodge also offers a free shuttle service to to Mountain Village's extensive shopping and entertainment and other destinations throughout the area. Our unit is steps away from the new Village Market where you can stock up on groceries, high quality produce, deli items and your Apre’ libations. The Mountain Village core as well as downtown Telluride are both a short (and FREE) gondola ride away and offer a dizzying array of dining options, bars and entertainment venues. The free gondola to the Village core and downtown Telluride is located steps from our unit and makes zipping around the region free and easy! Our unit is priced SIGNIFICANTLY below published rates for Mountain Lodge because we manage this unit ourselves. We believe that the beauty of the Telluride region should remain accessible to a variety of budgets and lifestyles. The Blue Collar Boutique is the PERFECT choice for couples, small families and anyone looking to have an affordable adventure in Telluride!
Our guests have complete access to ALL of the resorts amenities! Enjoy an on site ski shop and rental service, concierges, full bar and restaurant, steam room, workout facilities, complimentary shuttle service, gear lockers and more. On site parking is PAID parking and is managed by the Mountain Lodge staff at check in. Other parking options are available nearby as well. Given the proximity to the free gondola, local walking and hiking trails and the free Mountain Lodge shuttle, most guests do not need access to a car for the duration of their stay.

This was the perfect spot for our Telluride trip! Easy access via gondola to the town center so once you park your car, you can get anywhere within Mountain Village or Telluride. Great trip!
We had a great time at this property. It’s nicely outfitted, the location is great and property manager was easy to work with and immediately addressed any minor issues we had. The amenities of the Mountain Lodge are also great.
Mountain Lodge is a great place to stay. Luke's place (Blue Collar) was perfect location. We enjoyed our stay however the unit above us was really noisy, constant jumping around and moving things.
Staying at the Blue Collar Boutique was such a wonderful experience! The place was clean, quiet, and was in the perfect location. I really appreciated the great information provided by Luke ahead of time about the property and Mountain Village/Telluride, and we were grateful for his willingness to help us if needed while we were there.
8th time to Telluride, but first to Mt Village and the our accommodations were great, room, beds, amenities, location, shuttle, market, restaurant, etc…..all out performing our expectations. We will be back and looking already for next year.
Mountain Lodge is terrific and Luke’s condo there is as well. Ski in and ski out. Great bar and restaurant on site. Easy 5 minute walk to the gondola which will take one all over Telluride. We won’t stay anywhere else in Telluride in the future. Luke’s condo was perfect and communication with him could not have been better. We very highly recommend this condo.
This is such a great space. It's any easy walk to the market and the free gondola. Check in at the front desk and pull up in front of the back entrance to unload and then have the car parked via the free valet. The kitchen is well equipped, bed is comfy and the hosts delightful. We will definitely return.

Thanks Dan! It was a pleasure hosting you here in Telluride. Come and ski with us soon!
I absolutely LOVED this property! The location was probably the best part. It was convenient to everything! Luke was an amazing host and went way out of his way to ensure we were comfortable upon arrival. The snacks, wine and coffee were special touches. We were steps from the slopes and found ourselves looking forward to fresh cookies every evening at the lodge. We can’t wait to return!
We had a wonderful stay at Blue Collar Boutique. The property was exactly as described and pictured and the location was perfect for hitting the slopes as well as quick and easy access to the free gondola for trips into town. We especially appreciated the gas fireplace and the fact that the condo had all the necessities, plus some (coffee, detergent, soap, paper towels, snacks, beer, etc)! Very thoughtful! Would absolutely stay again and highly recommend!
Perfect little place in mountain village! Nice layout with separate bedroom and see-thru gas fireplace. Jetted tub was great, especially after a long day of skiing/snowboarding. Luke was fantastic, quick to respond and check in to ensure we had everything. The snacks and free beer were a welcome site after arriving. We will certainly be back!
Excellent location - very clean - comfy bed and pillows! TV in both LR and BR - Full Kitchen. FREE Shuttles to Gondola and the market (grocery store) The shuttle service was quick to arrive and take you back to the condo. The View (onsite restaurant) was good, not great. You'll most likely want to go to the Village for food or to town (Telluride) via Gondola for restaurant choices. It's quite easy to get there because the shuttles will take you to the Gondola which is located next to the Market.
We were first time visitors to the Telluride area so I did a lot of research into lodging choices before booking. I went back and forth between two properties before deciding on Blue Collar Boutique. When we arrived at the property I knew that I couldn't have made a better choice. Located in Mountain Village and part of the Mountain Village Resort properties, you have access to all of the resort amenities. With amazing views and within walking distance of the gondola it is the perfect choice. The property itself is amazing. It has the perfect ski lodge feel. Full kitchen, fireplace and a patio that allows spectacular views of the sunset make this property 5* for us. A complimentary welcome bottle of wine, beer in the fridge and jars of starburst and Kind bars are the personal touches that we really enjoyed. I highly recommend renting this property on your next visit to Telluride.
Nicely decorated and well located, this condo worked really well for a ski trip with me and my adult daughter. Moving in was a breeze as the unit is on the ground floor with french doors that open right outside to where our car service was parked. Ski storage right outside those doors, though it would be easier if there were keyed access through those doors; instead we need to walk inside the condo building and go around.
The condo is just a 5 minute or so walk to the gondola and the market, so easy to get to the main part of the village as well as pick up anything you may have forgotten.
Beds were comfortable, with my kid commenting that it was the most comfortable sleeper sofa she's ever slept on. I'm the family cook, so I'm a stickler for the kitchen, and it was well stocked with pots, pans, knives (sharp!), etc, though it could use more staples that I wouldn't ordinarily purchase for a 1-week stay (sugar, salt, pepper, plastic wrap, aluminum foil for instance were all missing).
My one quibble would be that it's not, at least by my definition, ski-in/out. While just a couple of minute walk to/from the trail, you can't ski in or out of the unit itself.
Overall though, really liked the place and would definitely consider it again should I return.

Thanks Eric! Thanks to your feedback we have stuffed the unit with more kitchen staples for our guests...sugar and spices for days! I am also rekeying the French doors so that our guests can use this exterior entrance as their primary entrance if they so desire. Really appreciate the stay and the suggestions!
Perfect location. Perfect condo. Perfect communication! I never write reviews (I know, I probably should), but my husband was looking on VRBO and saw a horrible review so I thought it was important to respond because they are wrong.
Reasons why I can’t give it 5 stars:
1. We requested an extra day, which was the day before our original check in date. Unfortunately, the Mountain Lodge didn’t receive the change so we had to wait a short amount of time. We had drinks in the bar and contacted Luke. Luke was on his way out of town with horrible service and got back to us almost immediately. He was extremely apologetic and handled everything quickly.
2. It included in the listing that parking was free, unless you valeted. Unfortunately, the HOA changed the rules so we had to pay per day. Not a big deal, but should be noted. Note: We didn’t mention this to them and we probably should have so they won’t have to deal with a “Karen” in the future.
Response to the bad review:
1. Walls were paper thin…
It’s a CONDO. Yes, you can hear other people and trust me, we have zero clue what the people above us were doing, but it was not a hindrance and the walls were not paper thin.
2. The street light shines right through the bedroom…
It does. There are BLINDS. If you turn them up towards the ceiling, there are zero issues. Road noise? There isn’t ANY traffic, it’s basically a (an?) one lane road. Even during the day, there might have been 5 vehicles to pass by all day.
3. The couch…
There were three of us and our friend decided to sleep on the couch as is (no pull-out bed) and slept perfectly. Mind you, he is a professional cyclist who needs a good night rest. While all three of us didn’t sit on the couch together, it wasn’t necessary. We enjoyed the beautiful outdoors of Telluride and when we did watch TV, there were two TV’s to choose from.
Ignore the bad review. It’s a condo. It’s not perfect, but it’s the perfect location with great customer service, appropriate amenities and a comfortable (yes, the king sized bed was very comfortable) place to rest your head!
The property was outstanding and could have been a very nice stay. The walls were paper thin, so that you could hear everything in the rooms around you. The street light shined right into the bed room and there was so much road noise it was very difficult to sleep at night. It seems like the owners have never stayed the night here. You could not sit on the couch to watch tv because the couch was so old and sunk in, there was no way to get comfortable. There could be some minor improvements that would make a huge difference.

Hello Jaclyn,
I feel that your review is a bit off base (see most recent review from guest). We have hosted 100's of guests and these are issues that simply do not impact the quality of the property. We have stayed in our condo many times and find it to be a great (and affordable) ski in/out rental with awesome amenities. Apologies your experience did not mirror that of the majority of our guests.
