Scout tips
- Bear Creek Lodge offers 'Lock-Off' hotel rooms which are a partitioned off section of full condos. These rooms therefore share a bit of noise with the condo guests.
- There is no daily housekeeping service here
- The condos are quite spacious and offer flexible bedding (inc. split kings).
- The rooms location on a walkway means there is some noise with foot traffic.
SCOUT REVIEW
Bear Creek Lodge offers guests a wide range of accommodation options in the outskirts of the Mountain Village area of Telluride. With everything from simple 'Lock-Off' hotel rooms to large four-bedroom condos, Bear Creek suits couples, families and ski groups alike.
The hotel rooms are the most basic at Bear Creek Lodge and simply include a king or twin beds and an ensuite bathroom with a jetted tub and separate shower. The condos, however, are well-equipped with full kitchens and breakfast bar, comfortable lounges (with gas fireplaces), bathrooms with jetted tub(s), robes, hair dryers and toiletries, and some even feature in-room washer/dryers. The lounges are spacious, and offer an additional queen sleeper sofa for extra guests. The larger condos are located on the upper floors and boast wonderful vaulted ceilings and better views. Due to its forested location, most of the views are of the surrounding forest, however this also makes for a quieter condo complex. The rooms area located on a walkway or path, so the lounge and bedrooms often simply overlook this and as it is a major thoroughfare for most of the nearby rooms, Scout recommends keeping your blinds closed for better privacy.
Regardless of which accommodation you choose, you will have access to the on-site facilities which include a heated pool, hot tub, exercise room, a fire pit and heated boot and ski lockers. There is even a games room with a Fussball table, games, arts and crafts equipment and a Wii which is great for the kids. Although Bear Creek Lodge doesn't exactly have ski-in, ski-out access, however there is a funicular located a few steps away from the condos to take you directly down to the slopes (you pop out halfway down the Village Bypass run). The free shuttle service can also nip you down to the gondola station in minutes which can then transport you around the whole Telluride region. Therefore there is minimal effort required whether you are reaching the village or the ski slopes.
Bear Creek Lodge is a fantastic mid-range Telluride lodging option for families, particularly those who seek self-catered accommodation on the mountain and are a bit more independent. There is easy access to and from the slopes each day, plus convenient free shuttle service.
Who should stay here
Bear Creek Lodge suits all kinds of groups looking for comfortable ski accommodation in Telluride. Couples may choose the simple Lock-Off rooms or one-bedroom condos while the larger units are great for families and ski groups seeking self-catered accommodation.

Scout Booking Terms & Conditions
- Availability: Booking of all packages & accommodation is subject to availability at time of confirmation of package option by customer.
- Rate includes: All associated taxes. Some hotels charge extra fees for parking, cots, rollaways etc. Such fees can be confirmed on request based on your requirements.
- Payment Schedule:
- Deposit: 25% of the full amount is due WITHIN 7 DAYS OF CONFIRMATION to secure the booking.
- Final Balance: Invoice will be issued for the remaining balance 80 days prior to departure. PAYMENT IS DUE 70 DAYS PRIOR to departure. Failure to pay by 70 days may result in the auto-cancellation of accommodation by the accommodation provider or late payment fees.
- Bookings within 70 days: Full payment is required within 7 days to secure the booking.
- Variations: In some circumstances suppliers may have different payment policies to the above. Additionally some Early Bird deals require full payment by or soon after the book-by date. In these instances Scout will clearly communicate any variances prior to confirmation.
- Cancellation Policy:
- All deposits are non-refundable once received.
- For balance payments made within 70-45 days prior to the trip the deposit amount is non-refundable.
- No refund for total amount for cancellations 45 days or less prior to arrival and no-shows. In unexpected, unfortunate circumstances (family death etc) Scout will work to negotiate with the supplier for a full or partial refund, however this is not guaranteed. We recommend taking travel insurance to make sure you are covered. Cancelling due to weather, missed travel connections or lack of snow is not considered an unexpected circumstance and is one of the risks you must wear as part of taking a ski trip. Unless the supplier has a snow guarantee or weather cancellation policy, Scout will not refund any part of the package due to these factors.
- Variations: Please note that some hotels may have stricter policies (such as no refund within 60 days) and we are required to pass on these policies. We will communicate any varations to the above cancellation policy prior to confirmation of booking.
- Changes Policy:
- Once bookings are confirmed and deposit is paid service fees will apply for every amendment to existing elements, late final payment and travel document re-issue in addition to fees charged by suppliers
- In a few instances we purchase products through third party providers. If you change part of your package whilst at a destination, the 3rd party provider may have a different refund policy to that of the supplier in the destination. Wherever possible we will work to recover any refunds that come from a change at the destination, however it is not guaranteed.
- Surcharges: Scout does not charge any additional fees for the booking. Prices quoted are for cash (bank transfer) payments only. Credit card payments (Amex, Visa or Mastercard only) will be subject to 1.8% surcharge.
- Booking Currency: Scout will quote and charge in one currency of your choice from AUD, USD, CAD, JPY, EUR or GBP only.
- Currency Exchange Policy: If you book an international destination all remaining balances are subject to change (based on currency fluctuations) until the final payment has been processed. This can go either way (if your currency gets stronger you will be invoiced less!). We will confirm at the time of invoice what the final amount is, based on the exchange rate at that time. Should you wish to pay the balance earlier (prior to when it’s actually due) to secure that current exchange rate you are welcome to request the final invoice at any time. Once payments have been made (deposit or final balance), no refunds will be given for changes in the amount of what that payment would be, based on currency changes at any time prior to your trip.
- Travel Insurance: Once your booking is confirmed, we strongly recommend taking out travel insurance as it will often cover the cost of cancelled reservations.
