Amazing views from the window seat of this great Telluride mountain home
VRBO Bear stayed here - 05/27/2010
The owners of the Eureka house at Mountain Village in Telluride, Colorado were kind and welcoming hosts during my visit to Telluride. Now I’m no superstar like Tom Cruise, Oprah, or some of the other Telluride locals but I can see why the celebrities love Telluride! It’s a small town full of friendly people from superstars to everyday folks who just want to get away in the mountains. Everyone seems to know each other and they make you feel like this is where you belong.
The Eureka house itself is a luxury home with everything you can think of. The cedar beams, stone hearths and wood floors make a mountain bear feel right at home. And beneath this Tyrollean lodge styled architecture are all the amenities to pamper a bear like me. It has a steam shower, jetted tubs, KitchenAid appliances, and radiant floor heat! If you need to adjust your bindings there is a work station in the large garage with tools to help you out. When I’m done skiing the mountain I can ride right down to the Eureka house, leave my boots in the mudroom and sit in the hot tub! From there on the top deck I can see most of the San Juan Mountain Range with jagged peaks and icy ridges. Then I can fall asleep in one of the master suites while snow falls outside the window and a fire burns in the hearth.
Telluride is surrounded by rugged 14,000 foot peaks. The people here call it “Little Switzerland” because it looks like the Alps – ahh, my kind of place! From town you can see Bridal Veil Falls, one of the highest waterfalls in the United States. Telluride Ski Resort boasts some of the best skiing and snowboarding in the world. The lifts and gondola connect Mountain Village and downtown Telluride so that you can practically travel around town on your skis.
The Eureka house is just a five minute walk to Mountain Village where a quaint pedestrian hamlet has been built. It’s a little town of its own with shopping, fine dining, burger joints, parks, spas and more. It even has a grocery store. Or you can jump on the gondola that takes you right into downtown Telluride just a few minutes away. There are festivals in almost all seasons in the town of Telluride and Mountain Village. In the summer there is a festival almost every weekend!
So whether you’re a celebrity or just an average Joe looking for a mountain retreat, the Eureka house will make your stay perfect!

Eureka! Luxurious But Affordable,Great Location.
Year Purchased: 2008
Why the Owner Chose Mountain Village
Telluride is truly one of the most beautiful places on earth.It is also a fabulous place to ski and to vacation.We have travelled extensively both summer and winter to many destinations around the world and Telluride was the only place outside Australia that really feels like home to us.
The Unique Benefits at this House
Eureka is not a vacation rental property ,it is a home.
Our aim is to let our guests experience the same level of relaxation and enjoyment that we experience every time we visit.
just a short distance from Eureka you will find a supermarket,liquor store and the free gondola to the Mountain Village core and the town of Telluride
you can ski out of the home to the Double Cabins ski trail and it is an easy 120 yard walk home from the junction of the Sundance and Double Cabins ski trails.The gives you easy access to the whole mountain including the beginner areas.
Owner's Map of Mountain Village
The owners of Eureka are John and Catherine Mcintyre,pictured here with our son Luke and Nicola.We are Australians who live in Thredbo ,a small ski village in the Snowy Mountains.Yes it does snow in Australia!
We owned a boutique property management company that looked after 5 star ski chalets for 12 years so we are well aware of what makes a great holiday.
we had been visiting Telluride for more than 15 years before we found the perfect second home

Outstanding Holiday

Thank you Eureka for delivering another fantastic holiday, we have greatly enjoyed our second stay in this fabulous house. We have been impressed that our satisfaction level with the standards of this superb 'home away from home' have been even higher this second time around. Eureka delivers a combination of high quality accommodation with abundant natural beauty to ensure a perfect holiday experience. The owners have anticipated every need and have delivered on every promise. We found everything that we could possibly want for a memorable holiday - a cosy fire and luxury lounge, 4 magnificent bedrooms (each with private facilities), a wide balcony with hot tub, an upstairs pool room and a fantastic kitchen. There are also some quiet hide-away corners for relaxed living. The large picture windows in the house ensure that the panoramic views of snow covered mountain tops virtually come 'inside' the living areas. The fantastic location of the house guarantees year round enjoyment of everything that Telluride has to offer. For winter there is the convenience of a ski-in/ski-out connection onto the slopes and for summer there are easy walking pathways connecting directly to mountain trails. . Not only do we enthusiastically recommend Eureka to our friends and others, I know that we would not consider staying anywhere else in Telluride when we return.

Superb Luxury Accommodation

Look no further!!!!...This luxurious 4 bedroom - 4.5 bath mountain home captivates every comfort of home with the elegance of a Hotel. From the moment you enter this magnificent luxury home your breath will be taken away by the spectacular views of the San Sofia mountains from every room. The jacuzzi on the deck will beckon you after a long hard day skiing!!! The location of "Eureka" is perfect!! You can ski out to a great warm up run with only a very short return walk at the end of the day. "Eureka" is just a 5 minute walk to a wonderful grocery/liquor shop and the Gondola which accesses all the fabulous Restaurants, Bars, Cafes and shopping. The Gondola connects the Mountain Village with the town of Telluride and operates till midnight, so after an evening out at great restaurant and a return ride on the Gondola taking in the pretty lights, you can dial a free ride back to "Eureka". Everything is so convenient!! I know you are going to love this wonderful first class ski resort staying at "Eureka". I can't wait to return there in February 2012 with friends!!

Eureka is a fantastic vacation home. It is perfectly situated for an easy ski-on and also for a trip to the very well stocked supermarket in Mountain Village. Dial-a-Ride provides additional lifts to and from destinations. The house is roomy but cozy, has gorgeous views, is incredibly well stocked with all the comforts of home. The owners have anticipated your every need and made it so easy and enjoyable to be their guests. Telluride is an ideal mountain for the serious skier and those who prefer to stay on the easier groomed runs. It is rarely crowded and has the shops and restaurants in Mountain Village as well as those in the very western town of Telluride. All these features make EUREKA a perfect choice for a family or friends vacation. With each bedroom having its own bath, you are assured complete privacy and comfort. I feel very lucky every time I get to go to enjoy Eureka with my dear friends. I think you will too!

The Perfect Winter Holiday

Date of Stay: 12/23/10
Review Submitted: 11/26/11
We spent 2 weeks at Eureka in January 2011, what a truley wonderful place to holiday. The house is beautifully appointed with everything you need for a family stay. The view of the San Juans from the living area is simply stunning and the bedrooms spacious and private with seperate bathrooms for each of the 4 bedrooms. The location is great for access to the slopes with direct access from the garage to the slopes and only a short walk home along a flat road at the end of the day. The outdoors spa is the icing on the cake and was a great way to end a long day on the slopes. The property is also really conveniently located to the supermarket and gondola making acess to and from the house very simple. All in all we would have absolutely no hesitation in holidaying there again and actually would happily winter there everyyear as the house, mountain and town is a truly magical combination. George, Megan, Genevieve & Angus.

Tully Around the World

Review Submitted: 11/25/11
Eureka was simply wonderful. A beautifully presented, stylish, well equipped, comfortable home and perfectly located - ski in & ski out. Stunning views, hot tub, great kitchen & dining, large cosy lounge, all bedrooms with en-suites, ski and drying rooms, double lock up garage - in short, everything. To top it all off, it's in Telluride with its great variety of terrain, lots of dry snow and no crowds. Very hard to beat anywhere and we've skied all over the world. We're constructively critical and there was nothing to fault here. Really! And then you have the quaint old town of Telluride itself, just a gondola ride away. We give Eureka in Telluride Mountain Village the highest recommendation possible. We wouldn't hesitate to stay at Eureka again. Well done and thank you.
