For generations, skiers, families, festivalgoers, and vacationers have considered Telluride as their go-to mountain destination. From Telluride's charming downtown coffee shops and boutique shops to the pedestrian-only Mountain Village resort, where you choose to stay can shape the direction of your vacation. Here are some questions to consider when planning your trip to Telluride, Colorado:
How big is your group?
We have vacation rentals of all sizes, from romantic one-bedroom villas to a 10-bedroom mansion with its own bowling alley and theater. When you're traveling with a larger group, having a true home makes perfect sense. You can cook in a gourmet chef's kitchen, dine together indoors or on a heated patio, unwind in the great room or in a hot tub, and split off into your own spaces when you need time on your own. It's the best of all worlds, all in the comfort of a home.
How do you like to dine?
Whether you love to prepare your own feasts or enjoy the luxury of meals made for you, you can have it all in a private villa. There's plenty of space to stock your own snacks or farmers market finds, and state-of-the-art appliances invite you to cook the way you want. When you're ready to go out, Telluride and Mountain Village put you within easy walking distance of trendy eateries, casual restaurants, relaxed coffee shops, and more.
Are you celebrating a special occasion?
A hotel will make it feel like you're on vacation; a villa will make it feel like you've escaped into luxury. Sprawling spaces, thoughtful amenities and special touches from our villa specialists can transform a mountain getaway into your trip of a lifetime. Let's make your anniversary something to remember with a string quartet and a private chef who prepares every course from hors d'oeuvres to a delectable dessert. Birthday decorations and three-tiered cake; honeymoon flower petals and an in-villa massage; a post–film festival soiree on your private deck – if you wish it, we can plan it.
Do you have a vacation vision, or are you going with the flow?
Exceptional Stays has over 100 villa rentals to choose from. Each one is completely unique and includes the services of a villa concierge who can customize your entire journey. Imagine the ease of a ski-in and ski-out lodge with a ski butler available to carry your equipment and store it after a day on the slopes. Choose between downtown charm or top-of-the-mountain views, and picture yourself after a day of adventure cozying up by the fireplace with a glass of wine and a feast in the oven. Start by browsing the selection of accommodations and then contact your reservations agent to get started.
