The Saddle Horn Retreat (Grand Opening -- Memorial Day holiday 2008) is an extraordinary Telluride Vacation Rental -- an unique view property on its own wooded acreage. Trees, views, privacy, and superb close-in access to everything worth doing in Telluride and the Mountain Village.

Saddle Horn Retreat is one of several very well located view properties here in Telluride that comprise our Luxe for Less (TM) Vacation Homes group.  A waterfall greets you in the courtyard upon your arrival, near the pavillion where you can relax and read a book, and let the world go by.

This brand new luxury home features four bedrooms, two of which are master suites with baths en suite. High-def flatscreens, marble, granite, steam shower, and the most incredible state of the art hot tub on one of the double-decker view decks, with special lights, fountains, and built-in CD changer, with pop-up speakers, and, of course, a floating remote control! (In case you were wondering.)

Huge Great Room with vaulted ceilings, and fireplaces there, and in the master bath (but of course). The gourmet kitchen is open to the Great Room for entertaining, and features SubZero fridge, granite countertops, and all the bells and whistles.

The entire grounds are in the forest, on your own wooded acres, a beautiful corner lot with no close neighbors.

The mountains tower over the entire property, and from inside or out, you'll enjoy spectacular views of our "fourteener," Wilson Peak, and Sunshine Mountain, and the San Sophias towering over the historic Town of Telluride, in the box canyon below.

This superb close-in location is only 5 mins from the slopes via Telluride's free gondola system, at the new Town Hall Plaza in the adjacent Mtn Village. You'll also find Telluride's nicest, newest grocery store, with wines and spirits as well, and free parking, at the new Town Hall Plaza. All just 5 mins from the Retreat -- best of both worlds.

Enjoy the true spirit of Telluride at the unique fire pit, and take a good look skyward at night skies like you remember them from your childhood, or in the movies -- or in a dream.

Far above the pollution layers of the city, at 9500 ft., you'll experience the magic of the mountains in a way you and your friends or family will simply never forget.

Come join us!  We look forward to being your hosts here in Telluride, ranked #1 for scenery among all U.S. mountain resorts.  Come feel the magic of the mountains...

The Great Room at the Saddle Horn Retreat features 30 ft vaulted ceilings, cozy fireplace, beautiful new lodge-style furniture and furnishings, and an open kitchen for entertaining.

Above the fireplace, a large HD flatscreen TV, satellite feed, etc.

Enjoy CDs, DVDs, stereo surround sound, and best of all -- breathtaking views out every window and door.  French doors out to a huge view deck in the woods, or down the outdoor stairs connecting the upper deck with the lower deck, where the oversized jetted hot tub is waiting for you.

Sound too good to be true?  You won't believe your eyes.  Trees, views, quiet, privacy, and state of the art amenities to pamper you in every way.  Go ahead -- you deserve it. 

Spacious gourmet kitchen open to the Great Room features a SubZero fridge and high-end Kitchen-Aid appliances.  Fully equipped and furnished, right up to and including preparing a Thanksgiving Dinner for you and your friends and family.

Granite countertops and breakfast bar, dishwasher, wine cooler,  convection/microwave, gas oven and range -- everything you need to prepare beautiful meals at the house for friends and family.

While you're cooking, enjoy the fireplace, enjoy the views, enjoy the trees, the music, the high def TV -- and we provide everything you'll need to get you started, with spices, condiments, hot and cold cereals, Swiss chocolates, Starbucks coffee, all included with your stay. 

You can seat up to eight adults at the beautiful new dining table in the Great Room, just off the gourmet kitchen. 

The fireplace and simply spectacular mountain views in every direction make it a perfect place to linger over a meal, and enjoy the mountains with your friends and family.

The master suite comprises its own level above the Great Room, and offer a private luxury retreat with breathtaking mountain views.  We feature a beautiful new king-sized bed, and a large HD flatscreen is concealed in beautiful built-ins, positioned perfectly for viewing from bed when you like.

Separate built-in music system, and a spectacular marble master bath with steam shower with beautiful views of the trees and the mountains, Euro-glass, soaking tub, and its own fireplace! This mountain aerie is the perfect place to relax and forget about daily cares.

Beautiful quilts and comforters, custom furniture and furnishings -- nothing overlooked for your pleasure and your comfort throughout your stay. And of course -- monogrammed Spa Robes and spa-quality toiletries. (Have we ever denied you anything?)

Saddle Horn Retreat features a second master on the lower level, with bath en suite, and with doors leading out to the double decker decks, and the oversized jetted hot tub on this level on the outdoor deck, all surrounded by the woods, the views, the quiet, the privacy, and the magic of the mountains.

The upper floor master features a king sized bed; the second master, on this level, features a queen-sized bed, with down comforters and pillows, and Spa robes and spa quality toiletries.

Two additional guest bedrooms feature queen beds, and we have special Aero sleepaway beds for young children if you like. One of these add'l. guest bedrooms has a hideaway bed, allowing a simple conversion to a cabana room, if you like, which leads out to the oversized hot tub on the adjacent deck in the woods, overlooking the private grounds, and the firepit below.

The double decker decks offer over 1000 sqft of outdoor living areas, all surrounded by mountain views and in our beautiful forest, with  upscale outdoor furniture -- a perfect place to curl up in a quilt with a cup of hot cocoa and enjoy the incredible mountain scenery.

A beautiful firepit below, or from either of the double decker decks (connected by an outdoor staircase) are great ways to watch unforgettable sunsets, and just as memorable -- simply spectacular night skies -- unlike anything in the Mountain Village, on in the Town of Telluride in the box canyon below. 

Acres of wooded grounds and pathways -- all very private, and without near neighbors, to unwind and enjoy our unspoiled alpine wilderness environment.

Come feel the magic of the mountains... 

The private courtyard features a circular drive and a shaded pavillion, and a beautiful waterfall to welcome you each time you enter onto the property at Saddle Horn Retreat.

There's parking for several cars, and room for one of them in a garage off the courtyard if you like.
