Hi Judy!
Please let us know what we could have done to get a 5-star review. Sound like you enjoyed the place and I did not see any recs for improvements we could focus on. If you have those, we are ALL ears!
We had a great time. The place is conveniently located near lift 7 and the gondola, with a short walk to the main street, making it a great option for couples. The beds were comfortable but slightly smaller than expected.
This is a cute spot to stay right in the heart of Telluride. The room is perfect for a couple looking to stay for a few days and take in the sights. The walkability to the creek path was really nice; you can take it right into town.
The property was conveniently located, a short walk from everything I needed, and it was a great size for me. There were several little touches that made the stay great!
Great place to stay in telluride. The property is right next to the gondola or lift 7, and it was super easy to find. We really enjoyed our stay. Will stay here again in the future.
We enjoyed our stay at the Blue Collar Boutique! Clean, exactly as described, beverages and snacks provided at arrival. Nice amenities - great location. Would stay again.
This spot is a great location in town. Communication with the host was easy and he was really helpful! The guide book was a great way to get familiar with the area and how to navigate my stay. Thankful to have been able to find a spot like this for my friends wedding weekend.
Cozy and convenient stay at The Blue Collar Boutique
We had a fantastic stay at the Blue Collar Boutique in Telluride. Easy access to the lifts, convenient parking, and a clean, cozy, and quiet studio. Highly recommend!
We had a wonderful stay at The Blue Collar Boutique. It was a perfect location within walking distance of everything Telluride has to offer. It was very clean and comfortable and even nicer than the pictures. We will definitely stay here again.
We were only in telluride for one night before moving to mountain village but had a great stay. The room was well designed, large bathroom and very close to the gondola.
The town, ease of gondola, LOCATION and access to hiking, dining and shopping made this condo a great home base. Too much to do in our short 4 day visit. We will be back!

Thanks Julie! Sounds like all was lovely so wondering if you could le us know how we could have gotten 5 stars vs. your 4 stars? We always want to make this the best and most affordable base camp in Telluride!
Luke’s property is ideal for your skiing trip. It’s 3 minute walk to the chairlift in the morning and you can literally ski to the front door in the evening. All restaurants are in walking distance - no car needed!We will be back soon!!!
Overall this was a very nice place for my husband and I. Quiet and a good location right on the river with free and easy access to parking. Just a few minor details could be improved upon.

Hi Ann!
We are ALL ears on these minor details! Please feel free to let us know and we'll get on them. Our goal is to remain one of Telluride's most affordable rentals whilst still providing an exceptional place to stay.
Great place to stay. The apartment is so nice and very clean. There was a welcome message on the board and bottle of wine . The ski lift is only 5 minutes walk and you can ski back straight to the building door. Luke our host was great, he answered all our questions very quickly.
We really enjoyed the location and liked that the riverwalk was really close. The riverwalk was a perfect way to get around town. We never had to use our car to get anywhere in town. We really enjoyed how close everything was. I would definitely stay in this unit again, it was perfect for two people.
Literally could ski from the hill to the door. Chairlift to the main hill was 100 yards away. Free parking and perfect spot for a couple wanting to ski and be out on the town while in telluride.
