A home away from home

Guest: Doc (Sydney Australia)
Date of Stay: 01/07/12 Review Submitted: 02/13/12

As frequent and long term travellers to Telluride from Australia (we have been coming since 1992!) we have recently discovered the charm and luxury of Eureka! With four super-luxury bedrooms each with ensuite, the home easily accommodates 4 couples in absolute comfort. We ski out onto "double cabin" in the morning from the garage and it is just a short walk or (even better) dial-a-ride home. The kitchen facilities are second-to-none and the supreme experience of sitting in the hot tub in the late afternoon while watching in awe as the sun sets on the majestic San Juan mountains will stay in your fond memories forever. We come back every year!

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.

Great house, highly recommended

We stayed over the New Year at Eureka house. The house is very spacious, comfortably accomodating 4 couples and few singles. Interior is functional and cosy with exposed wooden beams and couple of fireplaces. I don't think pictures on this website do it justice. Views of the mountain chain from the house and deck (and hot tub) are simply amazing. Ski-in/out is easy for a decent skier and for novices it is just a short walk through the woods. Overall, I would highly recommend the place. P.S. I'm pretty spoiled with good accomodations after skiing at all major US ski resorts so speak from experience.

Owner response:we know what you mean about our photos.at least our guests always get more than they expect.

This place blew our socks off. Best place we ever rented for skiing. A. Location - Simply great. We parked our cars and forgot about them. It is just a short walk to a ski trail. The gondola station is near by, and a supermarket is right next to it. B. House - It was clean and well furnished. Kitchen was the best of them all. A bath tub and a grill are on a huge outdoor deck. Bedrooms, closets, laundry room, bathrooms, etc... all you need. C. Panoramic view out of the main window - You have go and see it for yourself. You won't be disappointed. We enjoyed the place. It has everything and provides much needed comfort, so one can save all energy for skiing or whatever else Telluride has in store for adventurers. Actually, I caught myself thinking about how'd be to stay there in the summer... Great place.

My friends and I couldn't have asked for a more perfect mountain get-away home for our stay in Telluride. From the hot tub, stocked kitchen and pool table to the comfortable couches and beautiful bedrooms, this place truly exceeded all of our expectations. If you are looking for luxury, comfort and beauty, look no further!

Eureka is fantastic

Date of Stay: 02/20/11 Review Submitted: 12/04/11

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

Guest: Megan (Sydney)
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.

Fantastic for Families

Guest: Sultan (Florida)
Date of Stay: 03/25/10 Review Submitted: 08/11/10

We stayed for over a week at Eureka with 4 adults and 6 children very comfortably. We have stayed at many resorts throughout the USA (Smowmass, Beaver Creek, Squaw Valley, Killington, Okemo, etc.) and we have to say that our stay at Telluride in Eureka was our favorite. I have heard the best way to describe Telluride is like going to Beaver Creek and Breckenridge in one. You get the old western town (the town of Telluride) along with the new resort town (Mountain Village). I wish I had not rented the car the entire week because we barely used it due to the town shuttle and Gondola taking us everywhere. There is a great premium grocery store near the house for all your food and beverage needs along with several high class and normal restaurants just a fun Gondola ride away. The Hot tub and the deck overlooking the mountains was a welcomed sight at the end of each ski day as well. This house has it all. We truly hope that we can return one day to Eureka!

Owner response:This highlights exactly what we love about Telluride and why we bought Eureka as our second home.

Superb Luxury Accommodation

Guest: Sab (Sydney NSW Australia)
Date of Stay: 02/01/10 Review Submitted: 12/05/11

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!!

Winter Fairyland

Guest: Snow Obsessed (Sydney, NSW, Australia)
Date of Stay: 02/01/10 Review Submitted: 05/10/10

We returned for a 2nd stay at Eureka during the ski season as we loved it so much. This is a place that just works as it just feels like home, and a very special one at that. After a beautiful day out we just loved going home. The jacuzzi on the balcony was divine day and night. The couches were so inviting for lazing about listening to music or catching up with one's reading, or just looking out at that gorgeous scenery. The storage facilities were excellent. And the beds... aah.... so comfortable. One always holds one's breath with holiday beds. Everything one might need is there, and works so well, and was perfectly maintained. We are fussy cooks and usually find other people's kitchens challenging. But this kitchen was a dream. All the utensils, appliances, saucepans and platters that we needed were there. It was in fact so lovely to cook at home, that we ate out at night much less than we anticipated. When we did want to eat out, or needed to be picked up from the supermarket, Dial-a-Ride and the Gondola obliged ever so charmingly. What an amazing service. All in all, a beautiful home in a beautiful resort... But don't tell too many others My only complaint was that the photos did not do the place justice. I've never had that experience before

Hi I find it hard to put into words the experience I shared with my friends staying in this wonderful house for the second year , immaculately presented and wanting for nothing, Views of the San Juan mountains that are captivating from the living area and deck, skiing from the rear of the house to lift 10 was a great start to the day, the short walk to the supermarket made life very manageable our stay at Eureka has left us all with such indelible imprint in our memories that we have booked again for next year with all this to offer,this house must represent the best value on the mountain, I am positive that your experience will be like ours.

Tully Around the World

Guest: Tully (Australia)
Date of Stay: 01/20/10 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.
