Alpenglow Ranch B&B, Telluride: 3 br / 2 ba Panoramic Views/ 12 Acres/ Pond

ALPENGLOW RANCH B&B offers some of the most spectacular, jaw-dropping views in the entire Telluride region. This unique 'top of the world' location features 360 degree views from atop 12 acres with a pond. The spectacular San Juan Mountains surrounding Telluride viewed from inside or from the wrap-around flagstone terrace are always inspiring. Rarely is this level of view property made available for vacation rentals, throughout the United States, and virtually never at such reasonable price. And now Alpenglow Ranch is a Bed and Breakfast! (Breakfast can be made in the main kitchen or in another kitchenette and brought in to your dining room. The amount of interaction is up to the guests). Also Plant and Mushroom tours in the summer and snowshoe tours in the winter are available, for an additional fee. When available there can be wild mushroom omelettes for breakfast that can be gathered together the day before.
I look forward to hearing what guests like for breakfast. There will always be eggs, vegies, mushrooms, cheese, oatmeal, nuts, fruit, juices, teas, coffee, though I'll let guests make their own coffee, with drip or Keurig.
Please let me know if you want breakfast, and your preferences.

Inside Alpenglow ranch, the glassy Great Room was designed for comfort and views, and the kitchen is a joy for the chef to use. The single level design makes it easy to get around this spacious, comfortable 1200 sq ft country home

Watching the seasons go by your window is a constant pleasure, as well as the wildlife that is always around, sometimes even looking in the windows! You can expect to see Deer, Elk, Fox, Ermine, Rabbit, Hawk and Eagle, with Duck, Goose and Great Blue Heron hanging out in the pond. Topped off by the morning and evening alpenglow, this house is a wonderful place to observe nature at its most beautiful, in a private setting, just a short, beautiful drive from everything Telluride has to offer.
Throughout the spring and summer, you can see horses grazing in pastures below. The house is, on this sunny hilltop, and with in-floor heating throughout, it's always cozy at Alpenglow Ranch!

Alpenglow Ranch is a Shared Space, the owner stays in an apartment in the back, with a separate entrance. The main part of the home is where guests stay, with use of the Great Room.

We look forward to being your hosts, and welcoming you personally to Telluride! You can count on a thoroughly unforgettable vacation experience. Since Alpenglow Ranch is 30 minutes away from the ski area, many folks like to mix their days here by enjoying the winter weather in front of the fire on some days and skiing on the ski area on others. Also there is good cross country skiing right out the door.
I keep the driveway open every day, (with very few exceptions), with my own propane powered plow, but in blizzard conditions it can be challenging. I do have several backup plow drivers with larger plows or blowers who can get the road open, though there can be a short delay.
