Designed as a discreet retreat for up to 16 guests, Canyon View Escape is a delightful five-bedroom chalet in one of the most desirable locations in Telluride. This contemporary twist on the classic mountain chalet is a warm, welcoming and comfortable hideaway for anyone who loves the outdoors.

From the boutiques and gourmet restaurants of Mountain Village to the remote hiking trails and natural wonders such as the beguiling Alta Lakes or the fascinating Anasazi Heritage Center, there is so much to see in Telluride. It also has a huge range of festivals and events all year round, including the famous Telluride Jazz Festival or the quirky Telluride Mushroom Festival, a feast for mycological connoisseurs and food lovers.

If you've visited the local farmer's market, the sleek kitchen at Canyon View Escape has everything you need to rustle up a tasty meal. Serve up that signature mushroom omelette at the bespoke dining table or out on the terrace's al fresco dining area if the weather’s a little warmer. Afterwards, it’s time to relax in the Great Room, a magnificent open space with cathedral-like ceilings and a feature fireplace with plush sofas clustered around. Perfect for socialising, the open-plan layout allows guests to mingle and chat in a laid-back atmosphere.

The six bedrooms are decorated in soft tones, encouraging you to drift off into a dreamy sleep after a busy day on the slopes. Five king-size bedrooms are lavishly presented with attractive ensuites. The primary suite even has its own kitchenette so that early risers can grab breakfast without waking the rest of the guests. The sixth bedroom is a delight for younger guests, with three twin-over-twin bunks and an ensuite bathroom.

Outside, you can unwind beneath the stars with a glass of wine in the oversized hot tub and take in those incredible mountain vistas. A charming fire pit is just the spot to roast a marshmallow or two or simply watch the night sky from the heated patio. Canyon View Escape lets you leave the everyday world behind and embrace the beauty of the Great Outdoors.
