4 Br Private Vacation Home Vacation Rental In Placerville, Colorado

35 acres of private forest in the San Juan Mountains. A space where you can step outside in the morning and hear nothing but birds and wind through the aspens.

This Mountain Modern lodge sits right between Telluride (35 min) and Ouray (30 min), giving you a home base for world-class skiing, hot springs, and plenty of hiking.

Sleeps 8 across four bedrooms with three full bathrooms. The open-plan kitchen is fully stocked for group cooking, and the oversized patio is where most evenings end up.

THE SPACE
The main living area has big windows looking out into the forest, an open floor plan, and a fireplace to keep you warm. It's designed to feel like a lodge without trying too hard, clean lines, warm materials, comfortable furniture you'll actually want to sit in.

The kitchen has everything you need to cook real meals. Counter space, a full-size fridge, and proper cookware for feeding a group. There's Wi-Fi throughout, a dedicated workspace if someone needs to check in on work, and a TV for movie nights when you've had enough fresh air for one day.

Outside is where this place really earns it. The 35 acres are heavily wooded. We've had guests spot elk, deer, and the occasional fox right from the window. In summer the canopy keeps things shaded and cool; in fall the aspens put on one of the best color shows in Colorado.

Winter: 35 minutes to Telluride's ski slopes. 30 minutes to Ouray's legendary ice park and hot springs. Roads and driveway are plowed and maintained, but you'll need a 4WD vehicle. Reach out before booking if you have questions about your vehicle.

Summer: Wildflowers, fly fishing on the San Miguel, and Telluride's festival lineup: Bluegrass, Film, Jazz, Blues & Brews. Some of our favorite hiking spots just down the road.

Fall: The secret season. The aspens all around turn gold and the whole place glows. Still great weather to enjoy a nice hike, fly fish in many area rivers, and some of the best hunting in Colorado.
