Telluride Town Escape
Tucked away in the enchanting box canyon of the San Juan Mountains in Colorado, the lodge is a treasure trove of history, culture, and outdoor adventure. Surrounded by peaks soaring over 14,000 feet, this idyllic retreat is rooted in the Victorian charm of historic Telluride, a town that still whispers tales of its gold rush past and retains the allure of the Wild West. For those with a fervor for the outdoors, this location is a paradise with its top-notch skiing and snowboarding in winter and a plethora of activities like hiking, rafting, and horseback riding in the summer.
The residence itself exudes a sense of exclusivity and luxury. Positioned ideally for ski lovers, with Lift 7 just steps away, and nestled close to local amenities like Clark's Grocery, the property combines convenience with serenity. The main entrance, through a heated hallway, and two additional entries—one leading directly to the slopes and another through a mud room with keyless entry—reinforce a seamless blend of accessibility and privacy.
The living space within is equally impressive. The living room, adorned with hand-picked artisan furniture and boasting floor-to-ceiling windows, offers breathtaking views of the mountains. A cozy, oversized leather sofa and chair near the fireplace provide the perfect spot to unwind after a day of adventure. The gourmet kitchen is a delight, with modern appliances like a gas Viking stove and granite countertops, and it opens up to a dining area that can host a lively dinner or a quiet evening meal.
Sleeping arrangements are plush and inviting with several bedrooms to accommodate up to seven guests comfortably. Each bed, including a luxurious California King in the master suite, features Sealy Posturepedic pillow-top mattresses, fine linens, and unique furnishings that enhance the rustic, yet refined decor of each room. The master bedroom, secluded on its own level, includes a private bath with travertine marble and a steam shower, ensuring privacy and relaxation.
Not just limited to sports enthusiasts, Telluride captivates with its vibrant cultural scene. From boutique shopping and gourmet dining to a diverse array of festivals including the renowned Telluride Film, Bluegrass, and Blues & Brews festivals, there's an endless array of experiences to draw visitors into the heart of this quaint town. The property’s central location ensures that everything is just a short walk or a free shuttle ride away, including the unique gondola service that connects Telluride to the stylish Mountain Village.
The lodge isn't just a place to stay; it's a haven that promises a memorable escape with every visit, blending the warmth of a private home with the allure of a mountain getaway.
