Sitting pretty in downtown Telluride, Townsend Street feels every inch the rural retreat with the San Miguel River babbling past and towering evergreen trees encircling the home. Yet this splendid home places up to eight guests within moments of the resort's shops, restaurants and bars - and just minutes from the ski slopes and hiking trails on the mountains that rise above it.

A world-renowned ski resort that makes winter sports a stylish affair, Telluride showcases pristine European-style tree-lined pistes and an enviable array of mountainside après ski. Skiing and snowboarding aren’t the only snow show in town -guests can try their hand at fat biking and snowmobiling, taking in the dramatic Colorado landscape at speed. In the summer, Telluride remains a bustling hive of activity, with art classes in the town, paddle boarding on the local lakes and canopy adventures through the forest treetops, including ziplining and aerial bridges.

Mindful of all the adrenaline rushes on offer in Telluride, the three bedrooms at Townsend Street have been carefully designed to offer optimal comfort and tranquillity for your downtime. With beautifully styled beds and soft furnishings, and exquisitely picturesque views, the bedrooms are a place to relax and unwind. The master bedroom offers a king-size bed, while the second bedroom houses a queen-size bed and boasts access onto a peaceful private deck. The third bedroom provides two twin-over-twin bunk beds, making this room ideal for the children of the group. With a spacious state-of-the-art kitchen that opens onto indulgent living and dining spaces, cooking and mealtimes here will always be a fun and sociable affair.

A home that has been masterfully designed to accentuate the natural beauty surrounding it, guests will relish embracing the indoor-outdoor lifestyle year-round. Soak in the private hot tub or fire up the BBQ before gathering around the circular fire pit under the stars to toast marshmallows. When the mountain snows start falling, feel snug in the sumptuous indoor living spaces overlooking the river. The ultimate balance of seclusion and ease of access to amenities, Townsend Street offers an authentic and immersive alpine experience.
