From the moment we arrived until the moment we departed this unique property left us flabbergasted and joyful. It is accessible to everything, easy and convenient via Dial a Ride to the Market 3 minutes away which then accessed the whole of Telluride and Mountain Village via the gondola system. And yet, while at the home we felt like we were in the middle of the wilderness. The other fabulous paradox is that somehow the owners combine luxury (bedding, down pillows, copper sinks, steam showers, fabulous hot tub, gorgeous wood floors, big overhead beams, beautiful fireplace....) and yet the spacious home felt cozy. Very thoughtful lighting with dimmer switches and thoughtfully placed lamps was part of the effect. Oh yes - on each balcony the babble of the nearby creek was our sound track. My teen son actually said "Mom, your rented too nice of a place....I don't want to leave." We did leave to enjoy hikes, farmer's market, a jeep tour, our daughter's wedding but we also planned each day to include more time at "home" then we might have otherwise. This place is exceptional.
