Telluride, Colorado
Inspirato’s Telluride homes share one thing in common: incredible mountain views. Mountain Village offers great ski access in the winter, instant downhill biking in the summer, and a quick escape to and from town via the gondola all year.
Snuggle into the four-bedroom penthouse Pandora with a cozy fireplace, private deck, and sweeping views of the mountains.
Scenic and Secluded Mountain Getaway
Tucked snugly at the end of a scenic box canyon and encircled by the jagged peaks of the San Juan Mountains, Telluride offers some of the most spectacular views in the American West. On the same streets where Butch Cassidy robbed his first bank, the Utes once hunted, and miners spent their downtime in rowdy saloons, you'll now find a world-class mountain town. Stroll down Main Street—with upscale boutiques, gourmet bakeries, and lively brewpubs—and enjoy nearly 360-degree mountain views. Perfect for those who want a more laid-back experience than Aspen and more intimate scene than Vail, Telluride is a secluded and welcoming enclave for outdoor enthusiasts.
