SCOUT REVIEW
Etta Place One and Cimarron Lodge are two well-positioned condo complexes in Telluride that make an excellent base for a ski trip. Located right at the base of Lift 7, both properties offer the holy grail of mountain lodging—true ski-in ski-out access. From your front door, it’s just steps to the slopes, meaning you can easily pop back for lunch, gear changes, or a quick break before heading out for another run.
Both Etta Place One and Cimarron Lodge feature condo-style accommodations, each privately owned and uniquely decorated. You’ll find a mix of one- to three-bedroom units, most with full kitchens, cozy living rooms, and fireplaces. While some condos have been updated with modern finishes, others remain simple and dated—but clean and functional. Travelers who prioritize convenience and space over luxury will find these a great fit.
Cimarron Lodge is slightly larger, offering underground parking, hot tubs, and easy access to ski rentals and the Telluride Brewing Company’s taproom. Etta Place One has a quieter, more residential feel, with an outdoor pool and a similar proximity to Lift 7. Both properties offer great value for those looking to maximize time on the mountain without overspending on accommodation.
Whether you’re visiting Telluride for the deep powder or the charming après-ski scene, these lodges put you close to everything—ski slopes, downtown restaurants, and the free Gondola connecting to Mountain Village.
Who should stay here
Ideal for skiers and snowboarders wanting direct slope access and condo-style flexibility. Great for families or groups seeking convenience, value, and space over luxury amenities.
Location
Etta Place One and Cimarron Lodge sit at the base of Lift 7, making them true ski-in ski-out properties.

The free town shuttle also stops nearby, providing quick access around the resort and to the Gondola.

About Telluride
Telluride is a spectacular resort in the heart of Colorado’s San Juan mountains. Getting there is half the fun – the scenic drive from Gunnison or Durango is topped off with an even more picturesque main street. Rarely are ski resorts as pretty as they are challenging, with a nightlife as exciting as it is laid-back, and with accommodation that ranges from ultimate luxury to great budget hotels. Telluride is the complete package and Scout adores it.
