Our Top Getaway Destination Is Mountain Lodge Telluride

This is the time of year we start dreaming about heading to the mountains. It's time to just get out of the city, whether it's a family vacation, a romantic weekend, or even a destination wedding.

We can almost taste the cocktails we'd be sipping as we gaze at a great mountain view and the heated pool and hot tubs. If just thinking about it makes you sigh and relax, have we got the tip for you: Mountain Lodge Telluride is the destination you've been craving.

Their aptly named restaurant, The View, has breath-taking mountain views courtesy of 50-foot floor-to-ceiling windows and fun tavern cuisine. The mountain lodge itself offers a rustic-modern luxury with so many options in room size and amenities:

• Suites with fireplaces, bathtubs, kitchens and private balconies
• Condos that offer plush queen beds and flat-screen televisions
