As the Night Glows
If you have ever witnessed a hot air balloon in flight, you will already recognize the appeal of a festival dedicated to the colorful creations, but until you attend you will never really know. Both mornings of the festival are dedicated to the flight of the balloons, and as you gather with a crowd of fellow balloon lovers in Town Park, watching balloon after balloon after balloon rise into blue skies and float gently away, you will wonder why you waited so long to attend this annual event. Mornings are still chilly in late spring, so be sure to bundle up, and even more importantly, don’t forget your cameras, because this will be a sight you want to capture and memorialize. Refreshments will be on sale, including baked goods and coffee, the breakfast of champions, so even as the festival is free, you will want to bring your wallet so as to enjoy a treat that will sweeten your morning. On Saturday night you can enjoy the balloons a bit closer than you may have thought popular as Balloon Glow on Main Street features a selection of colorful ballons harnessed to the ground at various locations throughout downtown, lighting up the night with large colorful orbs that will lighten up your mood.
Lighting Up Your Vacation
Our Telluride Balloon Festival rentals will light up your vacation, offering comfort and luxury to all who reside within. You know that feeling you get when you drive into your driveway after a long day, and you see the light spilling out of all the windows, making the night glow? You will feel that same feeling when you arrive at the front door of our homes, so go ahead, open the door and let the comfortable times begin. Step into spaces that offer a serene glow of their own, welcoming guests with the promise of everything wonderful and as you venture further inside, the Accommodations in Telluride difference will immediately be apparent. We’ll start our tour with the living room, where comfort, luxury, and stunning views live hand in hand, especially as walls of windows will make guests feel like they are on a super-luxurious camping trip. The mountains and the Telluride landscape surround you as you sink into the plush depths of sofas that invite naps and relaxation, perhaps with a fire crackling merrily in the large stone fireplace. Even during the summer months, Telluride can be quite cool at night, and the cozy warmth of a fire will bring you joy. High-tech televisions may be mounted on the wall above the mantel or may have their own stand to rest on nearby, giving guests more ways to enjoy their downtime.
Can You See the Balloons in Flight?
Our Telluride Balloon Festival homes are located in the town of Telluride and in Mountain Village and offer large decks or balconies that provide panoramic views, perhaps even including views of the hot air balloons floating by, if your property happens to be in the flight path. Also offering seating areas that are perfect for sunset watching, barbecue grills that will make your late spring visit feel idyllic, and hot tubs that warm body and soul as the powerful jets work their magic on aches and pains. Some of these decks or patios may feature gas firepits, enabling you to spend more time outside, even as the temperatures drop, but if yours doesn’t, don’t give up hope, just look down into the yard that surrounds your property. Many of our mountain retreats will offer a wood burning firepit, located away from trees or roofs and offering another way to enjoy the beauty of Telluride in the spring. As the landscape greens up and flowers begin to bloom, these outdoor spaces will be where more wonderful memories are created.
More to Be Discovered
As beautiful as it is outside, there is so much more beauty waiting to be discovered inside, so step back through the glass doors that led you outside and continue your tour. Open concept floor plans, even in our largest festival escapes, are quite common, and from your vantage point at the door, take a minute to look around and see how the spaces connect, sharing a décor, a mood, and often the colors of walls and furnishings, yet maintaining their own identity. The dining room area, dominated by a large table surrounded by the most comfortable chairs, will be where you eat, play games, or simply sit and stare at those panoramic views in awe. Maybe your mornings will start with a cup of hot tea and quiet serenity as you sit at the table and watch the world awaken, or maybe your evenings will end with a glass of wine and your tablet, the views hidden by the darkness of the night but somehow making their presence known as you update your social media and try not to think about how quickly the time clock of your vacation is ticking down. All of this and more awaits in our thoughtfully designed cabin rentals in CO, where comfort and scenery go hand in hand.
Gourmet Kitchens
The culinary landscape of Telluride is unbeatable, and after the balloons take off on Saturday and Sunday, you will probably include lunch at the Cornerhouse Grill, located at 131 N Fir Street inside a historic house and known for its juicy burgers and incredible views from the patio. You also may want to make a night of it while exploring Balloon Glow on Main Street, exploring the menu of Esperanza’s Tequila Restaurant, 226 W Colorado Avenue, offering authentic Mexican food and the probability that ride share will be your mode of transportation back to your Telluride sanctuary! But when you first catch sight of the gourmet kitchen in your escape, salivating over the big names on the appliances and immediately starting your first cup of coffee, you will also know that you are going to want, no, NEED to create at least one meal in this luxurious space. Equipped with everything you need, minus the food and beverages, this room, the heart of the home, will capture your heart and demand to be utilized.
Fireplaces in the Bedroom, Soaking Tubs in the Bath
Your nights in Sedona are going to be tranquil and filled with the most restful sleep as you explore the world behind closed eyelids in the most comfortable beds in the state. Some rooms will offer private sitting areas, a place to work from home, and even a fireplace in the primary suite, just as the spacious and spa-like en suite bath may also offer deep tubs and steam showers. Every attention is paid to the very important details of sleep and if your dreams take you on a hot air balloon flight through the skies of Telluride, even better.
