Tomboy Retreat Ski Lodging — Chalet at Telluride

From the outside, the home’s towering frame commands the attention of those in the valley below while providing a sweeping vista of the Telluride Golf Club and the distinguished slopes of the Telluride Ski Resort. To take your first steps into this home is truly an experience all its own.

The living area is at the heart of the home, which radiates with luxury and is everything you would expect from a grand ski lodge. There is plenty of room for guests to cozy up to a roaring fire in the stone fireplace and watch the sunset over the Rocky Mountains. Chandeliers, couches, warm lamp lighting, and a big-screen TV all make for a perfect evening with family and friends.

The four bedrooms are all artfully designed and give each guest a unique experience. The master bedroom is stately and spacious, with access to a private balcony and an expertly crafted bathroom of granite, wood, and tile. Rustic but refined captain’s bunks sleep up to seven kids or five adults on the uppermost level. With two more guest bedrooms on the lower level, there is plenty of privacy throughout the home.

From the balcony, you can observe the aspens, cottonwoods, spruces, and firs that perfume the mountain while you enjoy a meal at the outdoor dining table. If you’re not up for barbecuing at the outdoor grill, you’ll find everything you need to cook for the family in the inspired kitchen, complete with polished granite countertops and stainless steel appliances.

You’ll need plenty of time here to explore every cozy reading room and see the sights from every vantage point. Enjoy an evening in the outdoor hot tub or shoot pool in the chalet-themed billiards room. You’ll find, however, that no matter how long you spend at Tomboy Retreat, you’ll be pining to return from the moment you leave.
