At SilverStar Luxury Properties, we’re here to help make luxury travel effortless with these expert tips.
Define Your Luxury Experience
Luxury looks different for everyone. Before booking your Telluride vacation rental, consider what amenities and features matter most to you. Are you looking for a modern mountain penthouse with panoramic views? Or would you prefer a secluded lodge surrounded by pines?
Make a list of your must-haves. Common preferences include:
- Private hot tubs
- Gourmet kitchens
- Fireplaces for cozy evenings
- Indoor/outdoor living spaces
- Spa-inspired bathrooms
- Stunning mountain or valley views
Also consider the size and layout of the property. If you’re traveling with extended family or friends, multiple bedrooms and open-concept living spaces can ensure everyone stays comfortable and connected.
Location Matters in Telluride
Telluride offers two distinct areas to consider: the historic downtown Telluride and scenic Mountain Village. Each has its own personality and perks.
- Downtown Telluride is known for its Victorian charm, walkable streets, boutique shopping, and excellent dining. It’s ideal for those who want to immerse themselves in the cultural energy of town and enjoy easy access to festivals, nightlife, and trails.
- Mountain Village, perched above Telluride and accessible via a free gondola, offers ski-in/ski-out convenience, scenic alpine views, and more privacy. It’s especially well-suited for families and those who prioritize slope access.
No matter which area you choose, the gondola makes it easy to experience the best of both worlds.
Plan Around the Season
The perfect vacation rental depends not only on your preferences but also on the time of year you visit.
- Winter travelers may want homes with ski lockers, garages, and close proximity to lifts and gondola stations. Look for properties that offer après-ski comforts like fireplaces and cozy living rooms.
- Summer visitors often appreciate outdoor living spaces, BBQ grills, and access to hiking and biking trails. Decks with mountain views and proximity to festival venues are especially appealing.
- Year-Round: Some SilverStar properties offer features like indoor/outdoor spaces and fireplaces that make them inviting in any season.

Read Reviews and Ask Questions
Before finalizing your reservation, take time to read guest reviews and look for real photos of the property. This helps set accurate expectations and gives insight into the guest experience.
Don’t hesitate to ask the property manager specific questions about:
- Layout and sleeping arrangements
- Parking availability
- Proximity to lifts, trails, or town
- Pet policies or baby gear (if needed)
The more you know in advance, the more confidently you can book.
Book Early and Stay Longer
Telluride is a popular destination year-round, especially during ski season, festivals, and holiday weeks. Luxury properties tend to book quickly, so reserving early gives you access to the best homes and dates.
