Wake up to waterfalls and 13,000-foot peaks, in a home built to make the most of the view.
Spend your mornings on untouched corduroy or strolling historic Main Street, then return to a home designed for effortless mountain living. Our collection includes ski-in/ski-out residences in Mountain Village and distinctive homes in the heart of Telluride, each privately owned, thoughtfully curated, and professionally cared for by our local team.
Telluride occupies a rare place in the American West. Tucked within a dramatic box canyon in Colorado's San Juan Mountains, the former mining town has evolved into one of North America's most coveted alpine destinations, where legendary skiing, celebrated festivals, and an authentic mountain culture coexist.
At the heart of the destination, the National Historic Landmark district offers beautifully preserved Victorian architecture, independent boutiques, acclaimed restaurants, and a walkable downtown unlike any other ski town. Above it, Mountain Village provides direct access to Telluride Ski Resort, luxury residences, and alpine trails. The two are seamlessly connected by the free scenic gondola, making it effortless to move between mountain adventures and evenings in town.
Every season offers a different perspective. Winter brings legendary skiing, uncrowded slopes, and some of Colorado's most challenging terrain. Summer transforms the mountains with wildflower-filled meadows, high-alpine hiking, fly fishing, and an acclaimed lineup of events, including Bluegrass, Jazz, and Film.
Our collection of luxury vacation rentals in Telluride includes exceptional ski-in/ski-out homes, contemporary mountain estates and villas, refined chalets, and luxury residences throughout both Mountain Village and the Town of Telluride. Every home is privately owned, thoughtfully selected, and professionally cared for by our local team, providing a seamless stay from arrival through departure.

Mountain Village sits slope-side at the top of the gondola and is the easiest base for ski-in/ski-out access and big views. The Town of Telluride is the historic, walkable choice for dining, nightlife, and festivals. The free gondola links them in about 13 minutes, so many guests stay in one and enjoy both.
It depends on how you travel. A hotel gives you a front desk and room service; a private home gives you more space, a full kitchen, and privacy, with our local team and concierge handling the hotel-style touches, from a stocked fridge to a private chef. For families and groups, our Telluride luxury vacation rentals usually win on both space and value.
A ski-in/ski-out home sits right on the slope, so you can ski from your door to the lifts and back without driving, unlike a walk-to-ski home. Our luxury vacation rentals cluster in Mountain Village on and around Telluride Ski Resort, close to the gondola. Our guide to what makes a home ski-in/ski-out explains what to look for before you book.
The season runs roughly late November to early April. February is usually the sweet spot, with the deepest snowpack of the year and milder weather, while March often brings the biggest storms and longer days on the hill.

Telluride's dining scene is as impressive as its surrounding peaks. The food scene punches well above the town's size, from apres at the top of the gondola to multi-course tasting menus and a standout bakery or two. A few guest favorites: Bon Vivant for French dining at the top of the gondola, The National, The Wood Ear, and The Grand.
