The North Fir Street Residence
Perks for the Parents
A gorgeous contemporary cabin in the heart of Telluride, Colorado just a few blocks from the gondola and ski resort. It sleeps 12. This year-round resort is the perfect retreat for families. During summer, you can explore the Town Park (with sports courts, lake swimming and paddle boarding) and the surrounding mountainous landscape provides lots of opportunities for challenging hikes and biking. For ski season, you’re just a few blocks away from one of the most beautiful resorts in the world. You can hire equipment for nearby stores and walk on foot to the base of the mountains, before exploring all the family-friendly après-ski entertainment in the evenings and returning to your luxurious parents-only top floor suite to recharge.
Why Kids Love it
This vacation home is the perfect place for an adventure! The property is located right in the town, so older kids and teens can explore independently. In summer, it’s well placed to enjoy skateboarding, biking, rafting, hiking to waterfalls, tubing, outdoor swimming, camping or fly fishing. The mountain village also has an activity center in the warmer months. In the winter months, it’s just a few blocks from the gondola ride which is great entertainment! There’s a nature center at the top, and a fantastic ski school in the resort where they can try skiing and snowboarding. For indoor days, the house has an entertainment room where kids can chill out with a film.
Things to Know
Minimum stay: 4 nights. Safety notes: there are 3 sets of stairs in the house. Children should be supervised around the hot tub. The hosts have a Peloton bike (but please bring your own bike shoes if you wish to borrow it during your stay). The property is part of a 2-home condominium - the garage is at the end of the property. Please close the external door after entry as there are bears in this area during the summer. There is parking available for XX cars. There are Sonos speakers in all areas of the house. You can hire ski equipment or bikes from Telluride Sports or Boot Doctors (just a few minutes’ walk). Sorry - no pets allowed.

Style Notes
Mountain retreat. This historic building has been transformed from the former Telephone Exchange (1903-1922) into a cozy and modern family retreat. You’ll find luxurious elegant finishes like hand-cut tiles, plastered walls and natural stone, as well as contemporary state-of-the-art appliances. A sophisticated neutral palette is blended with warm cabin-style furnishings such as sheepskin textures, natural reclaimed oak flooring and subtle stag head wall decorations. We love the exposed wooden ceiling beams, the chic glass staircase and the unique A-frame architecture.
