Emerald Elk at Village Creek by AvantStay | Close to Slopes & Village w/ Views

Welcome to Emerald Elk at Village Creek, an AvantStay home!

Views, views, views! The Emerald Elk is a recently remodeled spacious condo located in the Mountain Village core that has convenient access to the slopes, ski school, restaurants, the gondola, and so much more. Not to mention, the killer views out of the living room windows and off the deck!

Guests will enter the Village Creek building just outside of the Mountain Village core and walk up a small flight of stairs to this condo, which is located on the second and top floor.

Upon entering the residence, guests are welcomed into a small entry hall that opens up to the spacious and open kitchen and living room area. Upon entering the space, you'll immediately notice the floor-to-ceiling windows with amazing views of the mountains - and sunsets! A fireplace centered on the wall makes the large, open space with vaulted ceilings seem cozy and warm. The living room also has a flat-screen TV, queen sleeper sofa, and plenty of other seating for all guests. A large deck off the living room gives guests a great spot to hang out and enjoy the sunsets or grill.

The living room is open to the kitchen, which has a breakfast bar, newly-redone countertops and stainless steel appliances. All utensils needed to cook any meal are included in this rental. The dining room is adjacent to the kitchen and comfortably seats six.

There are two bedrooms located on the main level of the home. The first has two sets of full bunk beds and access to a hallway bathroom, which is sleek and modern with a shower/tub combination and a large vanity. The second bedroom has a king bed, a flatscreen TV and a private north-facing deck that is accessed via double sliding doors. The ensuite bathroom has a modern double vanity and a shower/tub combination.

The entire top floor is dedicated to the master bedroom. It has stunning vaulted ceilings and floor-to-ceiling windows and a king-sized bed. A flatscreen TV, enclosed sitting area and walk-in closet finish off the space. The master bathroom has a beautiful glass-enclosed step-in shower, a standalone soaking tub and a double vanity. In the hallway is a small laundry room with a private full-sized washer and dryer.

Village Creek is located slopeside by the ski access run to the Meadows ski run, going down to lift 1. You can also walk to lift 4, the free gondola and restaurants/shops.

Bachelorette trip
Couldn’t have asked for a better location. It was in the heart of mountain village and everything was so walkable. The scenery was unmatched and the hosts were available through texts. We unfortunately got a flat tire while visiting and the hosts gave me a recommendation on where to go for a repair. Kitchen was fully stocked with everything you’d need to make meals and there was complementary coffee as well. Only thing was missing were tongs for grilling but other than that it was great. We stayed for a bachelorette trip and had a great trip. If you take a shuttle from montrose airport, it’ll drop you off right in front of the location. Overall great experience and made the trip that much greater.

Great location, would book again
This home was perfect for our trip to Telluride! We were a group of 3 couples who came for the Blues and Brews festival. The house was lovely and had everything we needed. The rooms were comfortable and accommodated 3 couples very well. The location was excellent - easy walking distance to the Gondola to go into Telluride, or even down to the grocery store. There were only 2 issues. One was the parking. The one designated parking spot was extremely small and in a corner. We couldn’t park because the truck parked in the adjacent corner spot was sticking out, blocking the space entirely. The host was extremely responsive and reimbursed us for paid parking in another location. We were really happy with their response. Also, the heat in the home wasn’t working. However, again the host was really responsive and brought space heaters for us all right away. The couple of issues were quickly and well resolved. We would absolutely stay here again, and certainly plan to next year!

Perfect place, perfect location!
This was the perfect place for our group of family and friends. There was plenty of space for all 9 of us! Although the parking is a little walk away, it didn’t matter since everything was accessible via a short walk and/or the gondolas so we didn’t need our car during our stay. With such a big group, we had an extra car, and found overnight parking nearby in the Heritage Plaza lot for $35/night. That lot, although not very large, also has a very reasonable hourly rate of $2/hr during the day, considering how close it is to everything it’s a steal. The free lots were a mess, but for a reasonable price this one was totally worth it. The wide entryway halls and only one short set of stairs (like 6-7 stairs) made it really easy to pack in all of our stuff and come and go with kids and in ski gear. The ski locker, right at the entrance, was convenient and large enough to fit all of our group’s gear. It’s a little hike to get to/from the Peaks green run, but even our 4-year old was able to manage it by the next day in her ski gear. We loved that we could all quickly come back to the condo for lunch but get back to the slopes easily. It was also nice to be right near the Mountain Village city center where we walked to picked up a few dinners and drinks. It truly was the perfect place and perfect location! Thanks for a wonderful stay!

Location is beyond amazing. STEAL!
First and foremost, I would definitely stay here again. Any quibbles are just that, and really just FYI so renters know exactly what they are getting. Overall rating: STEAL OF A DEAL! The location is so so good. Great views and excellent lift access. The place has been remodeled and is very clean. Not that it mattered that much, but there was a noticeable lack of décor, which made it a bit less homey. There are giant walls calling out for a nice Telluride ski map or mountain picture. The showers were a bit disappointing after a long day. They look great, nice and modern. However the 1/4 piece of glass leaves you pretty exposed to the cold so you are spinning like a top trying to stay warm. I didn't get to check out the master upstairs that had a nice tub to soak. All who stayed felt the TV in the living area was diminutive, both in aesthetics and for watching. Normally we would not watch much TV on a trip but with the Olympics on, we were watching before and after each day on the slopes. Only noting if you are a big TV group. It is watchable but as cheap as TVs are these days, it doesn't make sense to skimp. The beds were all clean and comfortable but the bunk beds were less than rock solid. Not dangerous in any way but I don't suggest planning on having an adult on the top as each movement sways the entire structure. The downstairs ski/board storage is convenient and large but there is not a ton of room for luggage in the condo. We did minimal cooking - just breakfast - but there were some basics missing, like a spice rack with several empty bottles. Minor for us, but you might want to inventory before doing a grocery run if you plan to cook. It was a bit annoying to have to park our vehicle a block or so away. Luckily we didn't do alot of driving but someone had to trudge in the cold to get it and park. Up side is that it is a spot in a covered garage. It was also a bit of a frustration to have a single parking spot. For a place of this size that is supposed to hold 10 adults, 1 spot is below average. I will note that parking is a difficulty in general in Telluride so it may not be specific to this place. Again, these are all very minor in the big scheme of things. Everyone who stayed thought the place was great and would stay again any time. If you factor in the very reasonable cost, it is a complete no-brainer. It is really a steal for what you get. Do not hesitate and book it before it sells out!
