The beauty of a Telluride vacation lies not just in the activities you can participate in, the meals you can enjoy, or even the very lovely and elegant homes that we at Accommodations in Telluride take joy in providing, but in the views that can be seen from nearly every window in those properties. The majestic beauty of craggy mountain peaks and the slopes that, in the winter months, include the colorful charm of skiers and snowboarders practicing their skills, is something we can never get used to, catching us unawares at times and causing our hearts to skip a beat, our pulses to flutter, our soul to whisper, “Oh, that’s right. There’s that to love as well!” If your heart yearns for views like these and your journey brings you to Telluride for a vacation you will never forget, our guide to a Telluride Colorado vacation with a view will show you all the ways you will fall in love with the unforgettable landscape of our favorite mountain town.
But First, the River Views
Like any good writer, we want to build up to a climax so fantastic that when the last page is turned, you sit there stunned, in awe, and slightly sad that the ride you just experienced has come to an end, so we will save those mountain views for later down the page. And before you start wondering, there is nothing wrong with the river views, and for many, those views may be exactly what the soul is clamoring for. The best views aren’t relegated to the biggest homes; perhaps your river view escape will be a charming little love nest for two, offering a romantic escape and a cozy little patio that you will find yourself relaxing on, a cup of coffee in hand in the early hours and perhaps a glass of wine that you will raise in toast to a stunning Colorado sunset. The sounds of the water that cuts through the verdant landscape, the birds singing in the trees, and even the sound of laughter and lawnmowers heard from afar all work together to create a summer of wonder that will never be forgotten.
Living the Good Life
Your Telluride adventures are sure to be thrilling ones, and as you ski in the winter months, fly fish during the warmer months, and explore everything this town has to offer, it is the moments in our river view rentals that will bring you the greatest joys. Sticking with the romantic escape theme, perhaps you will find yourself puttering around fully equipped kitchens, creating the meals that spell out love for you both, enjoying your efforts on bistro tables on the patio or in dining rooms where you may sit with your drinks after the meal has been completed, sipping, conversing, and savoring the quiet moments that are so rare in real life. Tranquil bedrooms may offer more views of the river and because it is hard to go anywhere in Telluride without catching a glimpse of the mountains, you may be able to enjoy mountain views as well!
Golf Course Views
Although we are known for being more of a winter vacation destination, visitors soon learn that we are an all-season vacation spot, offering warm weather fun such as hiking, biking, and golfing, with some of our Accommodations in Telluride properties offering stunning views of the courses. The impeccably groomed courses featuring paved paths along which golf carts loaded down with golfers and clubs zip along as color flags wave in the mountain breezes. The proximity of these properties to the courses of Telluride makes them popular with golfers, and the fact that the properties also offer all the luxury amenities the world has come to expect from Accommodations in Telluride ensures that all tenants will fall in love. These courses may be snuggled up to the base of the mountains that surround us, ensuring that guests will enjoy both the golf course views they crave and the mountain views for which our town is famous, and summer visitors may find themselves spending much more time outside than originally planned. Gas grills encourage family barbecues, outdoor dining sets encourage al fresco meals, and the stunning views will practically force you to play outside as much as possible.
Living the Comfortable Life
We can’t, of course, forget about the interiors of our beautiful golf course view escapes, because summer only lasts so long, winter can be too cold to spend all your time outside, and luxury abounds in our indoor spaces. Living rooms furnished with plush sofas and featuring stone fireplaces that would dominate the spaces if not for the wall of windows that let in the views of the golf course and the mountains beyond, while keeping out the elements. Dining rooms may feature tables surrounded by padded chairs, enticing guests to go back for seconds, take their time over dessert, and play board games late into the night. Our kitchens in these spaces will be cheerful, elegant, and furnished with the big name appliances that bring joy to your cooking experiences and the small appliances, coffee makers, blenders, even wine refrigerators that help you keep your beverages perfectly chilled. Bedrooms will be large, tranquil, and in the primary suites may even provide deep tubs for soaking or fireplaces for extra warmth and romance.
Garden Views
Telluride is blanketed in snow for much of the year, and we genuinely like it that way, but that doesn’t mean we don’t appreciate a good garden in the winter months and the property you choose may offer views of the flowers, plants, and bushes in those gardens. Maybe its just views of the wildflowers blowing in the wind, adding a colorful punctuation mark to the green of the landscape or maybe it will be a manicured piece of land, flowers blooming proudly and without any weeds in sight. It doesn’t matter what type of garden that you see through the windows, it only matters that your summer adventures bloom brightly and the scents of flowers in bloom migrate into your dreams. During these months, the beverages you choose to sip may lean in the direction of frothy margaritas or frosty beers, you know, the drinks that practically spell out the word summer. You will enjoy the patios of our garden view homes far more in the laidback days of summer, appreciating the sun that stays out until late, the warmth it brings, and the way mountain breezes keep temperatures comfortable.
Living the Laidback Life
Our garden view rentals may offer a more relaxed lifestyle, a laidback charm that eschews shoes and makes plans seem overrated. These escapes may offer patios that provide the perfect spot to practice your yoga poses, game rooms that invite guests to stay up late and revive the inner gamer that went underground when family responsibility took to the forefront. Playing pool, foosball, arcade games, or video game consoles can bring an easy joy to your vacation experience and help to build bonds between parents and children, erasing any strife that may have developed in the relationship in real life. Binge watch Disney movies on state of the art televisions on a rainy summer night, sipping hot cocoa as a fire crackles merrily in the fireplace, because even in the warmer months nights can grow cool. Bedrooms with their own entrance to private decks are where parents will sit after the children go to bed, relaxing, enjoying the scent of a garden at night, and preparing for the happy dreams they will experience when it is time for them to go to bed.
Our Hearts Beat Faster for Those Mountain Views
As with 99.9% of our Accommodations in Telluride sanctuaries, the mountains will stand guard in the background, ensuring that your river, garden, even golf course views will be punctuated with mountain peaks as well, but the exclusively mountain views will make your heart beat faster. When the slopes are blanketed with snow during the winter months, the sight of skiers and snowboarders doing their thing will bring a smile to your face and anticipation to your heart as you know that the next day you will be out there doing your own thing as well. In the summer months, the views change but their beauty doesn’t lessen nor will they appear lonely and desolate. The trails that skiers skied down will be colorful and luxe with hikers pushing their limits as they explore where the trails may lead. Some of our condo communities with mountain views may offer community pools for splashing in and our stand alone homes may include firepits on the grounds and hot tubs on the decks. Even in the summer months, nights can be cool and we can promise that you will utilize all the amenities included in our mountain view escapes.
Living the Luxe Life
Our properties with mountain views will be a mix of cozy condos, comfortable family homes, and supersized “cabins” all filled with a long list of luxury amenities designed to make guests feel comfortable and at home. Our condo guests will discover that the community provides with ski storage areas, pools, hot tubs, and in some case, heated sidewalks to help keep guests from slip sliding away on icy paths. The family homes may offer fewer bedrooms than our supersized cabins, and our cabins will offer everything you dreamed a vacation home should provide. Theater rooms with leather recliners will provide a fun way to spend a snowy night, watching movies as storms buffet the home while fitness rooms may offer professional-style equipment and maybe a corner dedicated to yoga, furnished with mats, bands, and other yoga necessities. These homes may have their own hot tubs outside and their own deep and jetted tubs inside, steam showers, or just large walk-in showers with multiple showerheads. Fireplaces in the primary suite will add romance to your dreams and private ski storage areas will ensure that the floors stay dry and uncluttered no matter how much time you spend on the slopes of Telluride.
And Yes, There’s More
The views of the mountains will burrow a path into your heart, breaking it when you must leave at the end of your stay, knowing that you will have to say goodbye to the rock formations that appear to protect the countryside of Telluride. Windows that stretch from floor to ceiling may distract you from the state-of-the-art televisions that will be found in living rooms, game rooms, bedrooms, and more. Telescopes may be provided in the property you choose, allowing for a closer look at the crevices, nooks, and craggy peaks of the mountains, providing a different sight every time you look through their lens. The décor of our mountain escapes may reflect the vibe of the mountains, offering walls decorated with old skis used as shelves, colorful travel posters inviting travelers to explore the slopes of Telluride as art, and walls painted the color of aspens in the fall, mountain peaks when not covered in snow, even the colors of the flowers in the gardens that you may have walked through, holding hands with your favorite traveling partner as you did. We live on the mountains, we play on the mountains, and we have fallen in love with the mountains and that passion is reflected in the décor of the property you staked a claim on.
