Meadows After Dark

Right on the Meadows ski run, this Telluride home puts you at the mountain's edge – step out and you're on the slopes, step back in and floor-to-ceiling windows keep the peaks in view from the living area, where a gas fireplace takes the edge off cold alpine evenings. The deck and hot tub extend the mountain experience outdoors, whether you're soaking after a long day's skiing or gathering around the fire pit as the sun sinks over the ridge line. A dedicated bunk room alongside king-size suites makes this a natural fit for families, and the village core, ski school, and free gondola to downtown Telluride are all a short walk away.

Home truths:
* This home is spread across three levels, so it may not be suitable for guests with reduced mobility.
* Ski-in/ski-out access here depends on snow conditions on the Meadows run, so it can't be guaranteed for every day of your stay. On lower-snow days, you may need to walk to the nearest lift – though the free gondola is only a short walk from the home.
* There's no air conditioning here, which is very much the norm in Telluride given the mountain altitude and cooler summer temperatures. Fans are provided if you need them on warmer nights.
* This home has off-street parking in the heated garage.
