You rarely encounter vacation homes that strike the perfect balance between modern and mountain. However, when you walk into Blue Mesa First Tracks, you are greeted by thoughtful details that marry the two perfectly. Enjoy the stuffed bear footrest (both adorable and endearing), the coffee table emblazoned with an industrial Atelier, beds made of aspen trees, and a chic, statement-making fireplace of brushed steel and river rocks.

This home is welcoming and sophisticated without taking itself too seriously. What's more, the décor isn't even the most impressive thing about the place - the location is really what shines here. In the winter, the ski mountain is mere strides from your door; in the summer, free concerts are held on the plaza below - you'll love the music drifting gently through the deck's sliding glass doors. If you are looking for a home away from home in Telluride, Blue Mesa First Tracks is ideal for any group or any season.
