Peaks Above Telluride

Step onto one of three private decks at this home and you're face to face with the snow-capped peaks that define Telluride – the kind of view that makes you linger over a morning coffee longer than planned. Floor-to-ceiling windows bring those same mountains into the living room, where a gas fireplace takes the edge off after a day on the slopes. Each of the four bedrooms has its own bathroom for easy mornings, and a dedicated media room provides fun for evenings in. You're just one and a half blocks from the ski area and festival grounds – about as central as it gets.

Home truths:
* The apartment is next door to a popular pub, so you can expect some noise and cooking smells during the opening hours.
* This home is spread across three floors with steps between, so it may not be suitable for guests with reduced mobility.
* The twin beds in the fourth bedroom can be converted into a king – let your host know before you arrive if you'd prefer that configuration.
* Air conditioning is only available in the primary bedroom, second king room and living room.
* Your host can provide a street parking permit for one vehicle. Your host can register additional vehicles for on-street parking, but spaces are first-come, first-served.
