Manitou Lodge FAQs

How does the parking work?
Upon arrival, we will register your vehicle in the town's electronic permitting system and provide you with a map of the parking zone you are able to park in. You will only receive one parking permit per reservation. **Guests that drive in the winter are responsible for moving their vehicles according to the local snow plowing schedule as certain roads will not have available parking on plow days.** The Manitou Lodge does not have guaranteed parking spaces and parking can be limited during busy times of the year. It is recommended that you take a local shuttle service rather than rent a car.

How close is the Lodge to the local establishments and activities?
The Manitou Lodge is situated against the mountain, along the river trail in downtown Telluride. We are a 2-minute walk from the free Gondola and Chair Lift 8, which gives you access to the entire ski mountain. We are also less than 5 minutes away from several different hiking trails in the area. There are well over a dozen restaurants within a 3 minute walk of the Lodge, not to mention several that are less than a minute away. The grocery store and local bakery are two blocks away, and the town park is a 7 minute walk down the river trail. You could not ask for a better location!

What additional amenities does the Lodge provide?
The Manitou Lodge offers a continental style breakfast Thursday-Sunday during our summer and winter seasons, from 7am-9am. Each room will receive one complimentary parking pass (first-come-first-served) and one ski storage locker (winter only). We have a common lounge with a variety of board games, a fully equipped common kitchen, a speaker to play music, as well as several streaming services on the television for guests to use. There are a variety of items to borrow while you’re in-house including folding camp chairs, grocery bags, water bottles, a hammock, and bike lock. We do not provide daily housekeeping.

Can I check-in before 4pm or check-out later than 10am?
In order to request an early check-in, please email your requested time to manitou@alpinelodging.com. Early check-ins cannot be guaranteed in advance, however, we note all requests for early check-ins and late check-outs and do our best to accommodate them. We can generally provide some flexibility with advanced notice. If you arrive before your room is ready, we can still register your vehicle for parking or store luggage until your room is ready. 

Can I bring my pet to the Manitou Lodge?
The Manitou Lodge is not a pet-friendly property. Any guest found with an unregistered animal will be asked to leave and charged a $250.00 minimum cleaning fee. Guests traveling with a Service Animal, please contact the lodge directly for details.

Is there a vending machine or ice maker on-site?

There is no vending machine on-site, however, cookies, coffee and other snacks can be found in the lounge throughout the day. There is an ice maker located in the lounge for guest use.
