Viking Lodge 117 by AvantStay | Ski Home, Near Town Park & Downtown
This one-bedroom/one-bath condo on the ground floor is all you need to be close to historic downtown Telluride, the ski area and Lift #7.
Queen, built-in bunk bed and a queen sized sofa pull out.
This accessible unit at the Viking Lodge apartments uses space efficiently for optimum affordability. Entering the condo, you're in the bedroom with a queen bed, 32-inch flat-screen TV with DVD player, and bunk bed with two twin beds. Across from the bunk beds, there is the ample vanity area outside the bathroom with a shower/tub combo.
In the next room is the kitchenette with granite countertops and clear-pine cabinets, two-burner cook-top, full-size refrigerator and dishwasher, as well as microwave, toaster, and toaster-oven for complete, simple home-cooked meals. Or just toast and tea.
Also in this room is a round dining table for four, and a sitting area with 32-inch flat-screen TV (HDMI) with Roku and DVD player. Another exterior door leads to a patio with table and two chairs, open to the shared lawn, River Trail, and views/sounds of the San Miguel River.
The Viking Lodge has charcoal grills, and a common area laundry with coin-operated washers and dryers.
The Viking Lodge is just 200 yards from Lift #7 and the free in-town shuttle stops outside of the complex. Town Park, historic downtown Telluride and the grocery store are just a short walk away.
A note from the homeowner: When we saw these Viking Lodge riverside units on our first trip to Telluride, we decided to visit again and chose to stay there. And eventually, we bought one. It’s just the right size for us. It has a beautiful backyard you can easily access, just a few steps from the breakfast table. As an updated unit, it’s one of the nicer Viking apartments. Lift 7 is a block away, and the Gondola a short walk from Viking.

The Viking Lodge is an excellent location for access to quaint local dining and bars, the Gondola, and Lift 7. Perfect for skiing. The unit itself slept our family of 5 comfortably. We loved the location. Only small complaints: no lock on the bathroom door, the tub faucet is backwards (hot is cold and vice versa), and the hot tub was green. We fell in love with Telluride and would come back and stay again!

LOVED this location, as it was right off the walking trial, near the river. Clean, cute place and has a pool and hot tub too. Really enjoyed staying here!

What a great time in Telluride!
This place was perfect for our family of 5. We had a wedding on the mountain and it was in walking distance to the Gondola. It was clean and the management was very helpful to answer any questions we had. We would stay again.

Thank you for the great review of Viking 117. We hope to have you and your family back soon!
This unit was clean and has everything you need. The outside patio was pleasant. Unit is directly on path that takes you to the gondola. Easy walk to downtown shops and restaurants.

It was just ok
It states it’s big enough for 4 people but I definitely would not recommend it. It’s a motel room with a kitchen. It’s just ok. If I were to go back to Telluride with friends I would not rent this place.
The unit needs significant work. Carpets stained, dining table chairs literally falling apart, blinds torn and barely work, window would not open, hot tub full of sand. Only positive was the location.

You get what you pay for
I'll try to be balanced with this review. This property is at the low end of the price scale for Telluride which is pretty steep. You get what you pay for. I'll start with the pros: Convenient location on the west side of town. Easy walk to the gondola (goes to Mountain Village) and to everything in Telluride. Beautiful trail along the river that takes you to the gondola and to restaurants, shopping, etc. More room for a family of 4 or 5 compared to comparably priced hotel options. Cons: like many places, no AC. Was there in mid August with temps in high 70s during the day so the condo was uncomfortable. No fan (ceiling or otherwise) and the only window that could open was jammed shut. Furnishings and fixtures are pretty dated (circa late 80s is my guess). Carpet was pretty dingy. Couple of stains on window and door shades. Otherwise a pretty good value but that's not saying much for Telluride.
The location of the property is great and price is reasonable. The place was clean. Maybe a little updating needed. Right in the town and everything is walkable.
The only problem is there is not enough parking in the complex to accommodate all cars and there were no other instructions on where to park.
A good spot if you are looking for a weekend in Telluride.

Thank you for taking the time to leave a review! We hope you come back and visit again soon!
The property was very outdated and not very comfortable. The futon sofa should not be used as a sleeping option since it is very old and was like sleeping on a board. The furniture was really old. The unit is long overdue for a remodel. For the cost, unit should be in much better condition. I would not stay there again.
