Lumière with Inspirato - General/Recommend

If you're looking for a place to venture to and explore, you know I've written about going to Colorado but what I haven't written about is where you need to stay and why. So here's now one of my favorite places to stay at in the nation. Yes that's right I said nation. 

When you travel to Telluride, there are of course some nice places IN Telluride but the more enjoyable spots are in Telluride Mountain Village of Colorado, at least in my opinion. One in particular I can personally attest to and recommend would be the Lumiere, near the downtown area of Mountain Village. They have great accommodations for large groups/large parties but are also lovely for the small family/size group as well as couple/s. I haven't really expanded enough on how dog friendly both Telluride and Mountain Village Telluride is so as long as you take great care of your pets and have kept up with their vaccination records, your furry family member/companion is welcome anywhere (yes even in stores and some restaurants that have the sign "pets welcome"). In the areas/stores/establishments where they don't allow for pets they are still loving towards your dogs and will typically have a bowl of water and/or a bowl of snacks/treats. Apologies, I know squirrel moment, going back on track.

It's not a very large facility but by far the best accommodations and the breakfast buffet provided is delicious. I'm not sure if they still have it to this day (as I went back in 2017) but you won't be disappointed and hey you can't beat good ole Colorado brewed coffee! The room I stayed in was adequate for a couple and/or a family of at least four to five, throw in the furry family of at least two and there was plenty of room. There was a nice kitchen nook area with a great kitchen to use if needed. I know I did during my stay and not just to store and reheat; they have plenty of in room tools/kitchen supplies (outside of food that is). This particular room had a bunk bed room across from the laundry room and the master bedroom off to the side of the living area with its own private master bath. Yes, there was a living room in addition to the kitchen nook. You might be wondering why was the room so large? Well just keep in mind that this city is made for adventures, hikers, cyclists, and winter season sports so many room accommodations are similar if not smaller in square footage, but not necessarily in the layout capacity. 

I had my furry baby with me, Aurora was her name - yes I say was because I don't have her anymore - and the hotel provided the pet daybed so I didn't have to travel with too much extra items for her. They placed the daybed near the master bedroom entrance in the living room. A little ways from the master bedroom entrance is the rooms fireplace located directly in front of the living room couch. The room was decked out in great electronics and appliances especially as you made your way into the master bathroom. I'm not one for baths and tubs, but yes the room had one. Now their shower...state of the art wonderful delicious rainfall water shower heads with the nice bells and whistles on the inside! Double sink vanity in the master where in other room they have there are half baths outside of the master bathroom, but all of their master bathrooms have double sink vanities. 

Don't take my word for it though and make plans in advance (because they do book up quick or fast within seasons) to stay here and venture into the local areas or simply spend the week in Telluride altogether (both the main city and Mountain Village). You will not be disappointed and weather for sites or just a nice reboot from life and the chaos...you will enjoy the quiet and getaway feeling.
