As you may expect, we at Accommodations in Telluride, while enjoying all the seasons, have a special love in our hearts for winter. We love the snow that falls endlessly to the ground, we love bundling up in our warmest clothes and discovering new ways to play in it, but perhaps even more than that, we love the feeling that comes at the end of every day when we come out of the cold into the warmth of our vacation homes for rent in Telluride and spend the rest of the evening sitting in front of a roaring fire, sipping our favorite drinks, and watching the snow fall outside. For our guests who are planning a cold weather visit to our winter wonderland, this guide to our vacation rentals with fireplaces will give you the opportunity to take a sneak peak into a Colorado vacation that is warm and toasty for all!
Book One of Our Telluride Homes with Fireplaces Below!
As You Might Guess
When you live in the cold, you learn all the ways for keeping warm, and as you might have guessed, fireplaces are on that list, which is why nearly every property we offer features a fireplace or cast-iron stove to help provide warmth and romance to your visit. What does this mean to you, our guests? It means that your list of vacation home choices has expanded considerably and that your stay is promised to be as warm as it can be, even on the nights when temperatures drop below freezing.
From Your First Moments
As you step outside your rental car, feeling the chill of winter breezes try to break through the barrier of your winter clothing, you may wonder how the home or condo you see before you will manage to stay warm, but we can promise that the moments you spend with us will be filled with as much warmth as they are filled with fun and comfort. The warmth of welcoming will greet you, followed immediately by the heat of the furnace, because even as there are fireplaces in the sanctuary you have chosen, we have come a long ways from the days when fire was the only option for heating.
The Warmth of Home
Every room in our winter retreats are designed to warm your soul as they keep your bodies warm as well. Our living rooms will be filled with comfy furnishings and modern amenities, with the sofas and chairs capable of viewing multiple focal points, including the views from floor to ceiling windows, the state-of-the-art television generally mounted above the mantel of our main focal point of today, the fireplace that will bring you joy. Some will be modern marvels of glass and sleek stone, able to be turned on with the flick of a switch, others will be rustic and marvelous, featuring tumbled stones or bricks, and requiring the skills of the ages to start while still others may be gas ones built to resemble the woodburning fireplaces that have heated homes for centuries. Your activities in this room will be accompanied by the crackle and heat of fire and as you read another chapter in the book you plucked from the shelfs, surf through a dizzying array of channels on smart televisions, or enjoy a refreshing nap on a stormy afternoon, you will understand why fire and man have been intertwined since the first spark was created by that caveman all those centuries ago.
A Fireplace in the Dining Room?
Although the fireplaces may not technically be located within the space designated for dining, our open concept floor plans will make it seem as if they were. Enjoy bountiful meals at large tables, play board games until late in the night, or watch the snow fall to the ground outside while sipping coffee in the first hours of the day, all while the fire burns cheerfully nearby. Some of our sanctuary’s dining rooms may actually have a fireplace included in their floorplan, but if not, you will know that one is nearby.
Not in the Kitchen Though
We have definitely come a long way from the early days of modern humanity, the days when the fireplace provided not just warmth but the means of preparing the family meal. A kitchen back then would have been dominated by a large hearth with the fire always burning and perhaps something cooking over its colorful flames. Today, gas or electric ranges provide the means for cooking, and our gourmet appliances bring joy to all who love to cook. Custom cabinets, stone counters, large center islands or expansive breakfast bars continue the theme of what started many centuries ago in kitchens far more humble, that of warmth, welcoming, and the heart of the home.
Even in the Summer Months
If you happen to be visiting in the warmest months of the year, however, there will still be many ways of enjoying a good fire. Nighttime in Telluride is chilly, so go ahead and start the fire inside, and when it is time to play, many of our backyard areas will either offer a firepit or another stone fireplace. Other amenities found out here may include barbecues, hot tubs, and multiple places to dine and relax, but it is around the fire that many of your best memories will be made!
Retreat into Comfort
The nights can be the coldest times outside, but inside all guests will remain warm and cozy as they slide between winter bedding and prepare for a night filled with deep sleep and happy dreams. Our bedrooms are tranquil spaces, some providing padded headboards against which guests may lean back and watch television or read from the books that may be their constant companions when traveling. Some rooms may offer seating areas perfect for enjoying that first cup of coffee in the mornings, others may provide private entrances to the balconies where sunrise or sunset views are the best. And still others may provide another piece of magic, designed to make the room feel warm and cozy, and, of course, that magical part of the room may be a fireplace that brings warmth and bliss to the space.
So Much More to Explore
There are simply not enough words in the English vocabulary to describe the comforts and amenities found in our Accommodations in Telluride winter sanctuaries, but as usual, we will give it a try. From laundry rooms to spa-like bathrooms, game rooms to theater rooms, we work hard to give guests the vacation experience they deserve. It’s the smaller details, as well, that make our company and our vacation homes for rent in Telluride stand out in a sea of vacation rentals. Knowing there will be a set of dishes, glasses, and silverware for every member of your traveling party, expecting and finding that your sheets, towels, and linens will be soft and cozy, every detail is the most important detail when preparing a vacation home for travelers, and we don’t consider ourselves a success if you don’t leave Colorado feeling that this vacation was the best one you have ever enjoyed.
