See Forever Cottage in Telluride, Colorado is a luxury vacation rental with spectacular views of Telluride's "fourteener," mighty Wilson Peak. It's been one of the most popular vacation rentals in the Telluride area for thirty years, since 1979.
This spacious cabin is on its own wooded acres offering plenty of privacy, and yet enjoys excellent close-in access to everything. It's often booked for honeymoons, anniversaries, and by young fanilies.
The See Forever Cottage is up on Telluride's ski mountain, adjacent to the Mountain Village area.
Less than 5 minutes by car from the slopes at the new Town Hall Plaza, or one short hop from there to Gondola Plaza in the "Village Core" via Telluride's free gondola system, where the Ski Valets will wrangle your skis/boots/poles if you like for a modest fee. From the Cottage, it's less than 10 minutes by car down the hill into the Town of Telluride in the box canyon below, or you can ride the gondola into town.
Recently added is Telluride's newest and nicest grocery store, at the new Town Hall Plaza -- again, less than 5 mins from the Cottage. Great produce, butcher shop, wines and spirits, and a private shipping operation shares the new Plaza along with the Mountain Village Town Hall and the clock tower. The gondola runs right from there to Gondola Plaza, and from there, if you like, up to the top of the ski mountain, where you can get off and walk, hike, take photos, etc. -- all for free! If you stay on the gondola at the crest of the ski mountain at San Sophia, the gondola will take you down the other side of the hill into the historic Town of Telluride for restaurants, shopping, etc.
Views, trees, quiet, privacy -- a perfect retreat-like lodging experience, but still so close to everything worth doing in Telluride.
Luxury accommodations and first-class personal service at a surprisingly affordable price.
Non-smoking facility. Sorry, no pets.

Why the Owner Chose Telluride
The See Forever Cottage, like our new Saddle Horn Retreat (vrbo # 173175), are up on Telluride's ski mountain, directly adjacent to the Mountain Village and the ski resort. The slopes are less than 5 mins by car, with ample parking, at the new Town Hall Plaza, and/or via Telluride's unique free gondola system. One short hop from our new Town Hall Plaza puts you at Gondola Plaza in the "Village Core," and "the Beach," the center of Telluride's ski operations. This is also very convenient during our summer festival season as well.
We bought the cottage because it offered the best of both worlds: quiet and private, in a 400 acre aspen forest, with spectacular views of our "fourteener," Wilson Peak, and yet just around the corner from everything worth doing in Telluride.
The Unique Benefits at this Cabin
You'll enjoy end-of-the-road privacy on several wooded acres, in a beautiful aspen forest, great place to walk or hike right from the house. Wonderful views, great view terrace with lounge chairs, picnic table and benches, gas grill, etc. Very much what most people dream of when they think of a mountain getaway. Open beams, lots of glass, very open interior with a large open master suite with a series of skylights that look straight up at the stars at night. A sleeping loft looks out at Wilson Peak, particularly beautiful in the purple light of morning. Great fun, and a wonderful alternative to standard hotels or condos. And just about the only thing like it in the Telluride market.
Ski in/out of the new Town Hall Plaza in the adjacent Mountain Village -- less than 5 mins from the Cottage -- or take the free gondola one short hop to Gondola Plaza in the Village Core. Ample parki

The historic Town of Telluride is easily accessible via the free gondola from Town Hall Plaza, or drive down the hill into town in less than 10 mins from the Cottage.
