When you start planning your upcoming vacation to Colorado, chances are the first thing you did was open up the Airbnb website to find accommodations during your stay. Even though Airbnb has only been around for the last 16 years, it has become the common way for finding a vacation rental. But before you scroll, we encourage you to read this article, discovering that just because it has always been that way, doesn’t mean it has to continue to be the best way to book your rentals, and this guide to the top reasons you should move away from Airbnb and book Colorado direct with Accommodations in Telluride will make everything that much clearer.
Lower Fees Means More Money for Souvenirs
How many times have you clicked on an Airbnb listing and ended up paying far more than the listed per night rental costs? Tacking on additional fees for everything from cleaning to not cleaning and from parking to the ubiquitous Airbnb Service Fee, by the time you click book now, it is quite possible that you will have paid almost double the initial cost. When you book direct from our Accommodations in Telluride website, however, what you see is what you get, and although there are additional fees for our pet friendly rentals, (only if you are bringing a pet) the final costs are much friendlier and may actually leave you the funds to purchase more souvenirs, order an extra dessert, and order the specialty wine instead of the house.
The Price Is Right
The goal of all vacation rental companies is “no empty beds,” and because of that we will utilize the listing services of Airbnb, but the per night costs may be higher for the same place you can rent for less simply by booking direct, and not just because of the fees charged. We want you to choose Accommodations in Telluride for your accommodations, and the prices on our website will be the first reason you want to turn to our website to find the vacation home of your dreams. It may take a little more effort to find the individual websites, but you have found your way to this page, so it won’t take much more effort to grab the lower cost, and when you click that final button, we can guarantee your budget will smile in relief. Vacations can be expensive, but when you stick with us, we can help you find multiple ways to save, including offering fully equipped kitchens so you aren’t forced to dine out for every meal.
Procrastination Can Be a Good Thing
Oh, how we admired those kids in school that did their homework as soon as they got home, and we are honored to be friends with people who are perpetually 10 minutes early to every event, but as much as we would like to be those people ourselves, procrastination is so much easier. Our parents used to tell us we would be late for our own funeral, and our homework was always turned in late, our clothes aren’t washed until we used the last clean outfit, and if you are a kindred spirit, chances are your vacation rental has not been chosen yet, and you may be low-key starting to panic as the clock begins to tick down. The good news is there will probably always be a vacation property available, even at the last minute, and the even better news is booking direct can save you some money as well. No empty beds are our goal, and often discounts may be available on properties that are unrented, giving procrastinators a little reward, something that will probably never happen during your meanderings through the Airbnb site.
More Choices
Airbnb does have quite a healthy selection of homes and condos, but they don’t have our complete selection of Telluride vacation escapes. Even as some of our properties will have a spot on the vacation website, to see everything Accommodations in Telluride has to offer, you will just want to type our web address into your browser and scroll freely through the most complete selection of Telluride luxury homes and condos that are designed to give you the most comfortable of adventures. Offering a complex blend of comfort and convenience, our best homes are what you deserve and are what you will find when you book directly through us.
The Personal Touch Makes All the Difference
We like to think that when we prepare our properties for the guests that we cover every circumstance that can arise, but every traveler has their own idea of what makes up the perfect vacation escape, and yours may differ from ours. Maybe instead of two twin beds in that second bedroom, you are wondering if there could be a king mattress put in their place, or maybe you just didn’t see a blender listed amongst all the kitchen amenities. Need a highchair or a pack ‘n’ play? Whatever is on your mind, go ahead and give us a call and we can answer your questions and provide the items you need. This personal touch and attention to details may not be something you find on the largely impersonal Airbnb website.
It Can Happen
Murphy’s Law states, “Anything that can go wrong will go wrong,” and we spend most of our work hours proving it wrong, but as everyone knows, life happens even though we wish we could protect everyone from anything less than wonderful. Perhaps a storm rips a shingle off the roof during a windy day, or maybe you just don’t understand how to work the state-of-the-art television mounted to the wall across from the bed in the primary suite. We understand that things happen, and those things don’t always happen during business hours, and we can assure you that someone will be on the other end of the line when you call, or if an email suits you better, a response will be rapidly forthcoming. Airbnb may have started on a more personal level, but today they are a multibillion dollar corporation that has strayed far from their humble beginnings and business hours are mainly the only time they will do business.
Your Personal Concierge
Our hometown is our favorite place in the world, offering something wonderful around every corner and we love to share it with our guests who fly in from all over the world. We know that the Coffee Cowboy serves the best coffee in town and that its prices are so reasonable that it is the only coffee place residents will frequent. We appreciate our town’s history so much that nearly the entire downtown area was designated a National Historic Landmark District in 1964. And we have witnessed the best sunsets in the state, often from spots that only the locals know about (some of which may be found on the balconies of your Accommodations in Telluride Colorado sanctuary.) Sharing this information with our guests makes us happy and also works as a personal concierge service for whoever is residing within our Colorado sanctuaries.
Supporting Small Businesses
The importance of supporting small businesses can never be stated enough, but the money Telluride Colorado Airbnb only gets funneled back into their own pockets. Accommodations in Telluride is a small business that appreciates your business, and because the funds we receive get funneled back into the community, it is a gift that keeps on giving. We support the mom and pop businesses, we shop in local stores, and when you are looking for someplace fun and different to go to or for a restaurant that costs less but sates gourmet tastes, our suggestions are going to be ones that are local businesses, continuing the tradition of supporting small businesses. Not just for the good of the overall economy, but because these places are owned by our friends, our family, our neighbors, and we take care of the people we know and love.
Your Vacation Dream Home Can Come True
Choosing a vacation property is a very personal decision, and although you may not have known what you were looking for when you first started scrolling, the second you see your dream home, you will know. Maybe it will be the balcony that looks out over the mountain, the fireplace in the bedroom, or the fully equipped game room that stars in your dreams in the weeks leading up to your getaway. But what if you were to arrive at your final destination and discover that the property you have been dreaming about is not the one you are walking inside? Vacation rental websites have been notorious for using bait properties to capture your attention and substituting something similar, but often nowhere near as nice as the one wanted. Accommodations in Telluride is transparent in everything we offer and do, and the home you booked is the home you will be sleeping in every night of your stay, and isn’t that a thought that will make you sleep better at night?
Flexibility Matters
Travel is nowhere near as reliable as it once was, and as airlines overbook, are understaffed, and their aging computer systems are failing to perform, meaning that a five-hour trip from airport to airport could end up being extended by hours. In the old days, hotels would actually give your room to someone else if you didn’t show up on time, but even though that isn’t something you have to worry about in the age of vacation home rentals, there can still be some inconveniences that surround your delayed arrival, inconveniences that a big corporation won’t understand. And if by some chance you happen to arrive early? With Airbnb, rules are rules, and you may end up driving around town, trying to kill time with your luggage piled in the trunk of your rental car. With Accommodations in Telluride, however, a phone call or email may have you starting your getaway a little earlier than planned, because we understand the importance of flexibility and in many cases, a couple of hours won’t make much of a difference.
Southwestern Hospitality
You have probably already heard of Southern hospitality, but we are pretty sure that Southwestern hospitality is not a phrase you have ever come across, but we at Accommodations in Telluride are working our hardest to make it a thing. Our comfort zones are made more comfortable when we make guests feel at home, a fact that will be apparent when you walk inside our properties for the first time. We were born to make our guests feel comfortable and although San Francisco where the Telluride Colorado Airbnb headquarters are located, is only about 1000 miles west of us, we still rule the roost when it comes to hospitality. Your comfort and satisfaction is how we measure our success and because of that, we will go the extra mile to make everything perfect, something we are pretty sure that other company doesn’t ever think about.
