Mellow Moon Lodge

I stayed here a couple weeks ago for work and they were very accommodating to my almost week long stay. The windows were well covered and I didn’t feel at all that anyone could see in and the deadbolt lock and security chain made it feel very safe as I was traveling alone. Many, many great hikes in the area. I highly recommend the Lookout Mountain trail loop. Great views of the sand dunes in the distance as well as the beautiful mountains. Many nice restaurants and breweries within walking distance and with very friendly service as well. Next time I’m in the area whether for work or fun, I will definitely be staying here.

Great setup, ease of self check in with door code, retro-vibe, nice lounge with drinks, and snack/vending kitchen. Comfortable, clean rooms. Do not pass up the opportunity to stay at the Mellow Moon if you are traveling in the Del Norte area.

Really a wonderful vibe from first to last at this little gem nestled in the heart of the San Luis Valley. The room is beautifully appointed with a walk-in slate shower, impeccable accoutrements and a lovely but understated fragrance unusual to a motel. The front desk and lounge areas offer a nice array of beverages, treats, and fun, beautiful items, all done with care and panache. Good eats are just a walk away from the 1874 Windsor Hotel to the old-timey Colorado Grille, and definitely stop by the Mennonite-run bakery if crispy, golden gluten (and a free GF options) is your thing!

Super reasonable prices for a truly memorable night's stay and experience!

I had a fantastic stay at Mellow Moon Lodge! The contactless check-in was seamless, and the newly renovated rooms were both cozy and stylish. Having coffee and tea in the room was a delightful touch, making mornings extra enjoyable. The lodge's convenient location made it easy to find, and there were plenty of activities nearby to keep me entertained. Highly recommend for a comfortable and hassle-free experience.

By far one of my favorite stays ever! We felt so cozy, & at home in the 2-Queen bed suite. We had a very happy pup, too. You can tell the owner, Lauren has put so much love and thought into all the details of this place. Best sleep I've ever had on the tuft and needle mattress, we will definitely be back! Such a great location if you want to explore the sand dunes, or shred at Wolf Creek! Everything was very clean, and the art/details down to the sheets were impeccable!

Another fantastic stay at the Mellow Moon. Lauren and her team are the best hosts. The place is really coming together and is comfortable, clean and well located for all your SLV adventures. This week, we got in three days at Wolf Creek and several trips to the local hot springs and a day at the Monte Vista Crane Festival. We'll definitely be back!

Although I’m not a high technology person, having everything done over the internet/texting went flawless. Communication via text with instructions on key code to get into the room, how to change heat/ temperature and guidance on after hours access to the mercantile was easy. I like the idea that the ownership is private having renovated an old motel that sat for 20 years.
The room was whimsical with high ceilings, clean, and easily accessible with parking right in front. Bathroom spotless and I was given a handicapped unit with walk-in shower.
Plenty of towels but not much space to put my toiletries. No big deal. It was quiet, I felt relaxed in an upscale way, and you can tell theirs a pride of ownership in the small details such as the coffee and tea in room as well as the eco- aware touches. All in all a great stay for a “motel”

Absolutely LOVED this adorable motel and will be staying here every time I’m in the area! Lauren (owner) was amazing and texted back quick with any questions I had. The rooms were comfortable and cozy after a long day of skiing.

I can not say enough good things about this beautiful lodge. It was one of the most beautiful places I’ve ever stayed. The coffee and yummy latte packs! Wow! The most coziest handmade in the USA robes you’ve even worn! The best smelling soap and hair products on the planet! Such a thoughtful canteen space! All hail the Mellow Moon! My heart left feeling all warm and fuzzy!

I have to give this amazing Lodge a shoutout. This is our favorite place to stay. The rooms are clean, modern and comes with everything you need. The staff are so friendly, helpful and accommodating (especially Lauren). This place is a little gem! Walking distance from the Rio Grande river, small grocery store and an excellent coffee shop (Raisin' Rye - another spot you need to visit).

My partner and I absolutely loved Mellow Moon Lodge, it was just want we needed. A clean, cozy and cute space to relax after skiing. We love the self check-in texts, bathrobes and renovated room/bathroom. I would highly recommend!

My coworker and I stayed here for a couple nights and had an absolutely lovely experience! Lauren, the owner, was so kind and was accessible whenever we needed help. The rooms had high ceilings, cute decor, and were very comfortable stocked with high quality toiletries. I'm eager to return when they finish the bar renovations! Easy walk into town where there were eclectic shops. I highly recommend a stay here!

A very cool and welcoming place to stay. Been there twice for multiple night stays. Clean, groovy, and in a good location. Buddy our dog loves it too! Highly recommend.

An Oasis of peace and style matched only by the environment. Don’t tell too many people, or you will never get a reservation. I even recommend this facility to my regional directors and survey teams.

I absolutely love the Mellow Moon! I stop here on my way from Durango to Denver and back every time. Lauren has created very inviting and comfortable rooms with special little amenities like a robe and delicious, quality coffee. It’s an added plus that the check in building is basically a gift shop/bar with cold craft beers and lots of lovely random things for purchase. The most important part was that they are very accommodating and quick to respond when there is an issue. The cherry on top of course is that it’s a great price for all that you are getting. Very wise choice for a stay over in Del Norte!

Awesome spot with everything we needed. Coffee was great in the room! Amazing experience from start to finish! Could not recommend place highly enough. Will definitely be back!

The room was delightful. It had such a fun style.
The staff was kind and attentive to our needs.
It was easy to find and we were within walking distance from the restaurant we chose for dinner.

This is the place if you’re staying in Del Norte!! This is a totally refurbished motor lodge that is modern, comfortable, and relaxing! The high ceilings in the rooms were surprising and give it a very roomy feel. Everything from the mattress to the towel hooks are well done. It was quiet and the staff was great even though check in and check out are done be text. The coffee and breakfast burritos in the morning were delicious and we enjoyed our entire stay. This is a great spot!

We LOVED this place! Lauren the owner is wonderful and accommodating. The rooms are modern, clean, comfortable and every detail has been thought of.
We will be staying here again! I would give this place a 10 stars if I could.

Stayed at this motel on the way to Durango and was pleasantly surprised how cute it is. The rooms use door codes for self check in rather than a key. The rooms are styled with tall ceilings, big, comfortable beds, huge showers, fun artsy robes and a certain charm to them that is stunning.
The coffee and condensed milk combo for the morning cup was also really good, which is rare for any temporary housing. Place was quiet with all good vibes.
The only "bummer" is we didn't get to experience the lounge! Looked really cute though and the Canteen was stocked with snacks plus anything a traveler may have forgotten. We'll be back for sure, thank you for having us!
