Why the Owner Chose Telluride
We grew up living when in the United States in Telluride for the summer with my mother who taught school. That was long before it became a ski area or resort destination. This is how my family were able to afford to have a home and live until recently in Telluride after my father's retirement. We are just regular working folks and are very connected to the home and area. We always had guests so while very nicely decorated it is spiritually welcoming to visitors! My father was the first regional Disaster Preparedness Director, very active on the Colorado Trails Commission, responsible for gaining public access to private lands, getting owners to will property to the county for public use/access, and twice elected County Commissioner. My mother also dedicated to volunteering and developing the community is the designer of the meditation gardens at the local Presbyterian Church and the County Museum. Hopefully others have stepped in to keep them up since her departure.
The Unique Benefits at this Family Home
I have a locally living cousin Roger who is often available to visitors for hire to ski doo, hunting, fishing, jeeping and such. He was a professional outfitter/jeep touring employee for many years and the manager of the famous Franz Klammer Resort. He really knows his stuff! At the home is an attached, private apartment where a caretaker/tenant lives. Keith is responsible for setting up the home for visitors, up keep, setting up our visitors. He is quiet and you won't know he's there unless you need him. He also is often willing to show guests around the area initially. He cleans the home after you leave and tips are accepted if you so choose.

Owner's Map of Telluride
I am actually the daughter of the owners, Vern and Roberta. My father graduated from West Point in 56, meeting my mom at a ski meet while she attended Syracuse. They both grew up in Western Colorado. We served as a family in the U.S. Army for 30 years. The house funishings reflect our travels and has a European fusions with Western Colorado style. My mother's family are fruit growers/packing houses and own the Tom Tom label for marketing. My grandfather Robert F Broughton owned and ran the United Marketing Exchange until he was 84 years old for 60 years. He is in the Agriculture Hall of Fame for being with his father pioneers and instrumental to bringing fruit growing to the western slope. My father's father was a Forest Ranger in several areas expecially the beautiful Grand Mesa for his lifetime.
We like to help and share whatever we can about doing things and having a good time in Telluride. We love repeat business!
