Although, there is NO STOVE, you should be able to make most meals with ease with these appliances. The barbecue right outside our patio by the flower garden is a charcoal grill. The best charcoal bricks to use are the kind with the lighter fluid already absorbed in the bricks. Otherwise, the coals take forever to get hot. I believe the high attitude might have something to do with this. The Siam restaurant is right across the street which has gotten great reviews plus, of course, there are many other restaurants to choose from around town. The Wine Mine liquor store is right across the street, too.

Just a Little Bit of Telluride History from the Telluride History Museum Website:
beginning in 1875 Telluride Experienced a Vibrant Mining Era Rich in Zinc, Lead, Copper, Iron, Silver, and Gold But Died Out With the Combination of the Crash of Silver Prices in 1893 and World War I. by the 1960s, Telluride Was Barely More Than a Ghost Town, and the Population Had Dwindled to Less Than 600 Residents.
Telluride Was Resurrected in the 1970s by Another Kind of Gold: White Gold, Or Snow. a Small Group of Locals, Led by Bill Mahoney Sr., Joined Forces With Entrepreneur Joe Zoline to Build the First Iteration of the Ski Resort On the Ridge Near Gold Hill. the New Ski Resort Reshaped the Economy, Revived the Telluride Community, and Put Telluride Back On the Map.

Telluride is Located at the Base of a Box Canyon. Breathtaking Views in Every Direction. Small Town Vibe, Great Restaurants, Coffee Shops, Awesome Shopping, Historic Theater, Many Music Venues, Kid Friendly and Generally Awesome! Love It! You Will Too!

Lovely little place in a lovely town

Great place to stay on a ski trip. Joan is an excellent hostess. She was very responsive and helpful. The unit was clean, comfortable and had everything we needed, and what a great location; close to ski lifts, gondola, restaurants and a path along the river. Would stay again and have no hesitation in recommending it to others.

Great condo - fantastic view.

The condo was perfect. As described, small but strategic in its design and offerings. We loved the easy walk in and out from the ground floor while having a great patio to enjoy the view of the mountains and quick access to the river trail.

Good value, great location in town!

This ground-floor unit opens up right on to the creek in Telluride town and is only a few blocks from the gondola and lots of shops and restaurants. The host's instructions were clear and communications with her were excellent. Everything was clean, well-kept, recently renovated and in good shape. Parking was plentiful and close by. I would definitely stay here again!

Joanie was an amazing owner to deal with and the condo was clean, comfortable, and everything that was promised. As first time visitors to Telluride, we could not have been happier with the location which offered short walks to both Lift 7 and the free gondola. We can't wait to come back!!!

Great location and lovley condo

The condo was in a great location and updated. Had everything we needed for our 3 day stay. Favorite restaurants were Gnar for tacos and Siam for Thai. Also took an off-road tour with Telluride Adventures, which was great. Grocery store within walking distance. Beautiful view from back patio. Loved Telluride and our stay!

Very nice condo, great location!

My wife and I really enjoyed our stay in this condo. It was very nice and clean, is almost right next to the hot tub, only a couple minute walk to Lift 7, and is also an easy walk to downtown Telluride and the free gondola to Mountain Village. In addition, the owner was great to work with, very responsive, and even proactive with reminders and helpful tips before, during, and after our stay. I will certainly look to see if this condo is available next time I visit Telluride!

Perfect Location

We traveled with our two children, 21 & 17 yr old and we had a great time at this Condo. It’s a great location with the river just steps from your back sliding door. We traveled in June and didn’t need the AC, the ceiling fans were more than sufficient. This place is meticulous maintained and well stocked. Communication was excellent. We would definitely return.

Perfect for our mountain sojourn

We booked a quick trip to Telluride and was very pleased with the accommodations. Everything the listing says is accurate. A bonus was I didn’t realize there were a table and chairs on the first floor, steps from the walking path. We ate our meals and had happy hour enjoying the Mountain View’s. Enjoy!

Lovely Condo close to activities.

We loved that the condo was so close to the slopes and town. The condo itself was very clean and comfortable. We have stayed at many VRBO's and felt this one was a one of the nicest. It had everything you needed to make your meals in the condo. Joan was very helpful. She texted us that afternoon of our arrival to make sure we got in. Thanks for a wonderful time.

Great location, check pool status before booking

We had a great stay at this property. Lovely location along bike path/river and very easy walking distance to the heart of town. Host was extremely responsive and helpful with questions. The place isn’t large but very well organized and comfy for our family. Only complaint is that the pool and hot tub were out of service with no sign of that changing any time soon; these were key to us choosing this property as a family with active kids and quite a disappointment. Heard from previous guests that it wasn’t open in past so if this is crucial to you just check ahead. Otherwise very clean, pleasant, well equipped place to use as home base for enjoying all Telluride has to offer!

Great Location

We came across this unit, and love it from the beginning. The unit is very central located to the gondola, and restaurants ; it was supplied with everything we needed, we had breakfast at the home and eat out for dinner. But the best part was the quick response of the owners to any questions we had. Joann made our trip flawless. the only thing is that we were planing to use the top bunk bed for one of the girls, but it was super high, and with no railing, and no-one felt good about it. but it was not a problem, because the sofa mades into a bed and there were plenty of blankets and pillows. we love this property and will rent again.

About the host

Hosted by Joan Larson

Host profile image
My husband, David and I, have owned our unit for 31 years. The first time we visited Telluride was in 1973. We just fell in love with the area immediately. We continued to visit and in 1993 were fortunate to find the Viking Lodge complex and purchased our unit. Never regretted this decision! Since then, our family (a daughter and son now grown with families of their own) have had the awesome experience of spending quality time here. This little piece of heaven allowed us to experience each other in positive ways, bonding our family together with beautiful memories filled with love and laughter.

Our wish for everyone who visits our condominium the same good experiences we enjoyed. Telluride is amazing! Our unit has just been updated and furnished allowing for a more comfy and hassle-free stay. Get out there and enjoy!

Why they chose this property

The Viking Lodge is located right on the San Miguel river trail. LOCATION! LOCATION! LOCATION! It's walking distance to shops, restaurants, fishing, hiking, skiing, mountain biking, snow shoeing, cross country skiing, wildlife sightings, festival events, etc., too numerous to count! Also, situated in quiet area.

What makes this property unique

Beautiful! You will enjoy sitting on the patio or at your kitchen table, listening to the river and loving mountain view. You can watch the gondola go by and in winter the skiers coming down the slope. The unit is located in a vibrant area walking distance to restaurants, grocery store and shops. The saline pool and hot tub are very close. Just the thing after a day of hiking or skiing! Ahhh!
