The River Trail Retreat: Waterfalls and Festivals

The River Trail Retreat lives where downtown gives way to wetlands and unobstructed views of town park, Bear Creek preserve & cascading waterfalls! This 1-bdrm condo was JUST remodeled (June, 2022) and is top to bottom awesome! New appliances and finishings throughout including a W/D and 85" TV. Take in the morning sun as it crests over Ajax peak and watch the box canyon come to life! With nature as your neighbor but downtown 1 block away, the RTR offers Telluride in harmony!



This bright condo is a true mountain getaway and located in the heart of Telluride. Hear the music from the town park stage during festival weekends and the silence offered during all others! We provide our guests covered off-street parking and the convenience of walking to all that Telluride has to offer. The River Trail Retreat has a full kitchen, bath, dining and lounging areas. There is an incredible hot tub enjoyed by guests of the complex that sits near the banks of the San Miguel River! Walk out your door and onto the River Trail that connects to Bear Creek preserve and beyond. Take in the daily alpen-glow show from your balcony and immerse yourself in the best of Telluride's mountain magic!

Guests have full and private access to the entire 1-bedroom condo and there is an shared hot tub on property for guest use as well.



With Telluride's historic main street just a block away, our guests will enjoy instant access to a legendary culinary scene, boutique shopping, hiking trails, chairlifts and the free gondola. No car needed to enjoy endless adventures here in the San Juan Mountains! The free galloping goose bus stops right our front of the building and can take riders anywhere in town.



The free gondola to the Mountain Village is 3 blocks away and takes riders up to the breathtaking San Sophia Station and beyond.

This stay was unique and more hospitable than most stays with VRBO. They go above and beyond to make sure guests are comfortable. The facility was very clean and provided a great atmosphere for a much-needed family getaway. The kitchen provided a great experience in itself, so we could cook our meals and make vacation for a family more affordable. Thank you for the great stay.

Excellent 1st Telluride trip with River Trail Retreat-Wild Oak Telluride-Luke Brown

The property was perfectly prepared for when we arrived, extremely clean & attention to details, and exactly what we had hoped for convenience to downtown activities & close proximity to accessing Telluride gondola ski lift.

Great location and stay

The property was as listed, and a very nice cozy place to stay for 5 days. We could walk to pretty much everything, including skiing and the gondola. The hot tub was great to use right behind the unit, and we really enjoyed all of the amenities. Thanks!

Absolutely amazing experience! My Family of 4 visited Telluride for spring break 2025 finishing our ski season. The River Trail Retreat was phenomenal from the beginning. Great communication , clear directions and helpful tips. The place we rented was wonderful, very clean, well equipped, nice modern look and absolutely stunning views. Short walk to restaurant and grocery store, short walk to gondola. We felt in love with thus place and we will be back again soon.

Great stay but construction next door.

Amazing property through and through. Very clean, great location for a walk to town and views. However, the construction next door and extremely loud music were a bother at time.

Dreamy Location

We loved staying here and would definitely stay here next time in town. The location is perfect for walking quite literally anywhere. The views are spectacular. We were here for 5 nights and used the grill on the deck 2 of the nights (did I mention the views?). Very clean. Many thoughtful touches. Just book it.

Great Telluride Spot

The location was excellent! Six minute walk to the gondola to get to the slopes. Walking distance to everything downtown. The condo was clean and very well stocked with everything that you would need. The bed was comfortable which is a hard find when you’re usually renting a place. The best part was the heated bathroom floor. I will definitely plan on staying here again.

New Years stay

Beautiful condo on the 2nd floor with gorgeous view out the back patio. Newly renovated and very comfortable. Luke was very quick to respond to our questions. I would absolutely stay here again with my husband and son. The pull out couch mattress was comfortable for my 11 year old and the queen bed was super comfy.

Great condo well located in Telluride

We thoroughly enjoyed our 4 night stay at this well located and freshly renovated condo in Telluride. The shops and restaurants were at our doorstep and the gondola to the Mountain Village was just a few blocks away. The condo is very nicely renovated with great extras like coffee, tea, wine, and sparkling water. It had everything we needed for our stay. This is probably the best managed vacation rental I’ve ever had. Thank you and we will come again!
