Our home is located on Columbia Avenue, one block from Telluride’s iconic Main Street and an easy walk to the Gondola (5 minutes) for ski access in winter or to Telluride’s stunning trails for hiking in summer. “Modern mountain industrial” in design, the house is upside down, with the living, dining, kitchen, and two deck areas at the top, enjoying stunning 270-degree views of the box canyon; two bedrooms on the entry level; and below, a media/pool table area, and a suite with two bedrooms, one a four-person bunk room, and adjoining bath area. We only rent when we travel so the booking windows are rare.

Here are the details: the house sleeps 10 in 4 bedrooms: two queen beds, one king that is convertible to two twins, and a four-person bunk room, 3 full bathrooms and 2 half-baths; approximately 3000 square feet on 3 levels of living space.

The upper level of the home consists of the main living and dining area. With huge vaulted ceilings, wood beams and wide-plank oak floors, this open space is perfect for après ski gatherings, or a barbecue on the spacious deck with box canyon views in all three directions -- to the north toward Tomboy and the Jud Weibe Trail, to the east toward Ajax Mountain, and to the south toward Bear Creek and the ski mountain -- and a gas grille and rotisserie for outdoor cooking. The gourmet kitchen sports a classic Aga stove with 6-burner gas cook top, oversized Viking fridge, dishwasher and a huge central island bench, typically the social center of the house. On the other end of the great room is a living area surrounding a stone gas fireplace. The front deck off the living room to the south has breathtaking views of Bear Creek and Ballard Peak. There is also a half bath on this level.

The entry level features the master suite, with queen bed, closet, ceiling fan, and private bathroom with shower, clawfoot tub and double vanity. Also on the entry level is a second queen bedroom with closet. These bedrooms have beautiful views of the surrounding mountains. The other entry-level bathroom includes a steam shower and serves the second bedroom as well as the outdoor hot tub with stunning views up Bear Creek.

The lower level of the home is in two parts. First, a TV/media area with a huge flat screen TV (Apple TV, Sonos, Blue Ray, DVD), a wet bar with bar fridge, and a pool table that converts to a regular table if required. There are DVDs, games, and books galore. Adjoining is the “bunkhouse,” a self-contained private suite with a bedroom (king or two twins) and the kids’ favorite, a bunk room with four twin bunks. These 2 rooms share a bathroom with double vanity and combined shower/tub. There is an additional half-bath serving the TV/media/pool table areas, and a laundry room down there as well.

We have two off-street parking spaces available, one in the garage (not suitable for oversized vehicles) and the other a parallel spot outside the garage door, and we can provide an on-street parking pass for one vehicle as well.
