A coolness in the air, a day where the sun seems to set far earlier than the one before, the realization that yes, the pumpkin spice drink you love is back at your favorite coffee shop. These are all signs that serve as a reminder that Thanksgiving is just around the corner, and if you have decided to “skip Thanksgiving” this year to quietly quit working so hard for distant relatives that do not appreciate it, perhaps you have already made plans to escape from your hometown and explore a new town for the Thanksgiving weekend.
And maybe, just maybe, the reason you are reading this right now is because a ski weekend in the mountain village of Telluride is the thing you have been seeking, and our Accommodations in Telluride holiday hideaways are the homes you need to shelter you as you celebrate the day of thankfulness in your own way! If any of what we have written here describes you, this guide to our Thanksgiving rentals in Telluride will give you a sneak peek into a frosty holiday filled with the warmth of home and the happiness that accompanies your desire to quiet quit, resigning from fulfilling the expectations of everyone around you and choosing to do what you want for a change!
Hello, Happiness!
Ski season generally starts around Thanksgiving weekend in Colorado, and for that we are thankful. Our mountain home, beautiful any time of the year, comes to life when it is covered with a thick blanket of snow, and the sight of skiers cruising down the mountainside may be the first thing you see through floor-to-ceiling windows in your vacation escape! Step into the warmth and feel the embrace of our escapes, offering serenity to everyone who steps through their large front doors. Although every property we offer is different, chances are you will walk into a large foyer, one that offers a bench for sitting and taking off boots and places to prop your skis when your day on the slopes has come to an end. Some larger homes, however, may offer ski storage rooms, allowing guests to keep the wet and the mess hidden away.
Continuing the examination of the comfortable spaces found in our holiday hideaways, it is the living room we stop at first, furnished with solid furniture that is both plush and sturdy, inviting travelers to rest a bit at the end of their days on the slopes. At Thanksgiving, the state-of-the-art television mounted to the wall (or placed on its own stand) may be turned to the Macy’s Thanksgiving Day Parade or may be fixed on the sports channels as you and your favorite traveling companions cheer on your favorite teams. Sofas, topped with soft leather or even softer fabric, offer more than a place to relax, watch television, or read a book that you may have plucked from bookshelves in the very same room; they also provide the perfect place for a tryptophan nap! Some of our larger escapes may provide multiple living rooms, perfect for giving the kids a place to watch the television shows they want to watch, and others may also provide formal game rooms with a variety of gaming tables, arcade games, even video game consoles for you playing pleasures.
Dining rooms, located within steps of gourmet kitchens, are also multipurpose spaces, providing a comfy spot to devour your fabulous turkey feast or to play one of the board games you found tucked away in a cabinet somewhere on the premises. Monopoly, Scrabble, even Trivial Pursuit (We really don’t understand why they stopped making new editions!) can bring the family together on a snowy November night, and as the light hanging over head, the fire burning in the fireplace, and the sounds of laughter and chatter from your people fill the room, you will know that this trip was the best decision you made for your peace of mind and the tranquility of your soul! The gourmet kitchens of our home sweet vacation homes will never fail to stun you with their style and luxury, offering custom cabinets, countertops made of stone, and chef’s appliances that will entice you to create your favorite meals, not just the turkey one, but all the meals you and your family love to eat. Breakfast bars fronted with barstools are where donuts may be devoured on frosty moments. Dishwashers are important, but so are sinks with views out large windows, giving guests a way to daydream as they wash out a cup or chop up vegetables for a fall stew.
Find Your Joy in Our Thanksgiving Rentals in Telluride
Your Thanksgiving getaway to the mountains may be filled with ski days, shopping expeditions, (Christmas is coming at you FAST!) and visits to the restaurants that make our town a foodie’s idea of paradise—or it may be that you want to spend as many moments as you can, relaxing, resting, and exploring the amenities that can be found in your holiday haven. The floor-to-ceiling windows provide unobstructed views of the landscape just beyond their thick glass while also keeping the cold outside where it belongs, but even as its cold, you will still want to step outside sliding glass doors French doors made of wood and glass and see how much better the views are out on the big wood deck or balcony. Hot tubs may be tucked away under the covered patio in corners where the wind is blocked and the cold is not as intense, giving you another way to stay warm, adding romance to a vacation you are already wishing never had to end, and more places to sit and stare out at the views.

Festive Dreams
Sleep isn’t always the easiest thing to do, but after long days on the slopes of Telluride, you will probably be more than ready to slip between the soft linens on premium mattresses and fall into its sweet oblivion. Deep soaking tubs can be filled with fragrant waters, helping ease the transition, and in some of our more luxurious havens, may even provide a fireplace for additional warmth. The bedrooms each offer something special that make them the perfect retreats: king beds with padded headboards, windows that let in beautiful views and offer curtains that can be drawn tightly closed for mornings when you want to sleep in, televisions, fireplaces, sitting areas, even private access to the balconies where a morning cup of coffee will be most enjoyed. Bunk rooms for the kiddos will make them happy, and more than one primary suite will be ideal for multiple families traveling together.
