TELLURIDE! QUIET, SERENE, ROMANTIC w BREATHTAKING VIEWS! 12 min TO TOWN
Spectacular Mountain Views. A romantic, cozy, comfortable, well-appointed studio with full kitchen and a patio. An extremely rare find in the region. Dramatic, gorgeous surroundings. Quiet, serene, and close to town, yet a rural mountain setting, away from the crowds of town. Unobstructed, jaw dropping 360° views. Majestic 14,000 ft Wilson Peak is square in front of you and Lizzard Head Peak off to the side. See the right from your comfy king sized bed, before you even move! We are situated on Telluride town's closest Mesa. Deep Creek Mesa is just 12 minutes outside of town and serves as a significant wildlife corridor, allowing the great herds of elk to move from the high terrain, through our neighborhood and down to the valley floor. You'll see cars lined up on the way to town photographing the great herds grazing or sparing on on the valley floor. We see the herds all around our place, often babies in tow. Peaceful, serene Mesa feel, but close to Telluride town. A remote rural feel, but unlike staying on any of the other incredibly beautiful mesas surrounding Telluride, we are just 12 minutes to the great shops and world class restaurants of Telluride. The Deep Creek Trailhead is 1/4 mile up the road from the studio, with hundreds of thousands of acres of trails and wilderness for hiking, mountain biking, and exploring these majestic San Juan mountains. The Great Herds of elk and other wildlife can often be seen from the studio windows (see photos). The view from the studio and from the patio are breathtaking all year around. Watch stunning Alpine Glow sunrises right from the comfort of your king sized bed, and the sunsets are absolutely spectacular. At sunrise, first light on the tip of Wilson Peak is pink! See photos here or see it from your window if you're an early riser. The studio is well appointed, very comfortable and private, with a babbling mountain stream in the summer & fall. The studio is private with a separate entrance and a patio w BBQ and two chaise lounges to enjoy the sunshine and views on. The main house and the studio don't share any walls, so it's got good separation and plenty of privacy. The studio is the only rental on our 15 acre property. We have had the pleasure of hosting our third successful marriage proposal this past fall! This is a truly unique and very special spot!
High speed internet. The fine linens make your stay feel luxurious and comfortable. Fully appointed kitchen. Dining table expands so create a large table for your workspace when needed. Our road is plowed every day that we have snowfall.
DIRECTIONS: Google doesn’t take you there! It'll land you about a mile off target so if you use navigation to get here use WAZE instead. From town take Airport Road. Go 2 miles, then turn right on Last Dollar Road. Go 1 mile and you're here. Studio is down the stone steps on the East side of the house which will lead you down to your stone patio and "private" entrance. Studio Guest Parking is the East (left) space in driveway, closest to studio, leaving both garage bays open, please.
Send me your cell number and I'll send you a pin! Happy to send written directions from whichever direction you're coming from as well.

We loved our stay! Jen was extremely hospitable and the one-bedroom cottage was fully equipped with everything you could need. We felt very cozy and warm on a rainy Fall weekend. You can't beat the views and local walks/hikes.
The most comfortable bed I've ever slept on! Walking distance to trailhead, and beautiful views. Jennifer was a lovely host, and even offered me a raincoat when it started to rain when I checked in! Would HIGHLY recommend. My dog and I had a wonderful weekend here.
The location and view were great.Communication was 1st class and I would recommend this location to any one visiting Telluride and didn’t want to be right in town
Absolutely magical stay — the studio is nestled deep in the mountains with breathtaking sunset views and daily visits from majestic elk herds. A serene, soul-refreshing escape that feels like living inside a nature documentary.

Very clean, well-stocked kitchen, decorated nicely, sleeps 2 comfortably. Our mistake was we didn't realize it is a separate room in a house. Not completely private.

Paula, it is not a room in our house. It is a separate Caretakers studio that shares no walls with the house or with anyone and has its own entrance. It is a separate dwelling.
.
there are plenty of photos of the property and I am sorry you didn't pay attention, but that is no reason to give me the worst review I've ever had in all these years. I'm sorry you didn't enjoy it, but it's your responsibility to know what you're renting AND READ THE LISTING!
my property description is fair and accurate and clear .... most people leave here mind blown and saying how much better it is than the photos on VRBO and that it exceeds expectations!
Your review damages my overall rating significantly, and I did nothing wrong. and hosted your stay to the best of my ability.
REMEMBER, when you arrived and were upset that it wasn't the separate house/building that you imagined, I offered you a full refund on the spot and gave full support in your finding another place..
I did everything possible to help you have a positive experience, even though the mistake was yours. i'm sorry you didn't care for the experience. You're the first one in all these years., please read the listing next time so as not to injure honest hardworking people.
My fiancé and I spent the weekend we got engaged here, and we had the most incredible stay. The property is beautiful and Jennifer was so kind and helpful. We will absolutely stay again the next time we visit Telluride!
Lovely hillside retreat with great view of Shandoka every morning from the comfort of your bed or on the patio just outside your door. The owner was lovely, and helpful, with recommendations for hikes and dining in nearby Telluride. Wonderful stay.
We had a wonderful stay at Jenn’s beautiful studio. She was accommodating and kind and the property took our breath away. We’d love to stay there again.
Loved our stay here and the views were amazing. Close enough to town and far enough to feel like we were away from the hustle and bustle. Can't wait to come back again.
Wonderful stay. Jennifer (host) was easy to contact, checked in on us thru out the stay to see if we needed anything etc. She is an awesome hostess. Highly recommend.
We loved our stay in Telluride at Jennifer's place. It was exactly as described, clean, great location, and super easy. The view out of the window from your bed can't be beat, incredible! Would 100000% stay here again!
