Alpenglow Ranch, Telluride: 3 br / 2 ba Panoramic Views/ 12 Acres/ Pond

We loved staying at Alpenglow Ranch. It was exactly what we were looking for. It was perfect for our family of four. The views and wildlife were a highlight. John was great and easy to communicate with. The home was well equipped and the washer and dryer came in very handy. The home was about a 30 minute drive into downtown Telluride so remote enough but easy to drive to town. Would recommend and plan to stay again.

Beautiful mountain views and a very communicative host. Everything was smooth and enjoyable

Great place with absolutely breathtaking views. The drive out to other places is a little lengthy (maybe 30-45 minutes or so) but it's well worth it for the sense of remoteness. Lots of equipment in the kitchen for just about any type of cooking. John SirJesse was a great host and helped out wherever he could with plenty of communication.

A Truly Magical GetawayThis place is pure magic. The views alone make it worth the trip — every morning feels like waking up inside a painting. The peace and quiet of the surroundings, with only the sounds of nature and the occasional glimpse of wildlife, make it the perfect place to unwind and reconnect with the outdoors.The home is spotless and clearly well cared for. John designed and built it himself, which makes it extra special. The kitchen is impressively well stocked, with everything you might need to cook a full meal while soaking in those incredible views. Communication with the owner is smooth — you never hear from them unless you reach out, which gives you complete privacy while still knowing help is there if you need it.We loved exploring the nearby hikes, which offer even more stunning scenery. The roads getting there are fine, but we’d recommend a car with a little higher clearance for the driveway — it makes things easier.This was our second stay, and somehow it felt even more magical than the first. There’s just something about this place that stays with you — peaceful, beautiful, and unforgettable. We can’t wait to come back again.Thank you for sharing your beautiful home with us, John!

The panoramic views are amazing, and were the main feature for us. We saw dozens of deer and elk in the area during our stay. Although listed as a shared space, the host is in a separate annex so it acts as a 100% private space if you want it to be. The host was very helpful and accommodating, and easy to contact via text.

Our stay at Alpenglow Ranch was memorable! In anticipation of our stay, John was very communicative and proactive. He ensured we had specific directions and were able to have a smooth check-in (which we did). John greeted us on time and gave us a thorough walkthrough. Expectations and comms were always clear, friendly, and super helpful. The ranch has anything you need! Everything was clean and it made for a very comfortable stay. And. The. View.Seriously, you need to stay here and experience the majesty. 10/10 recommend. Will def book on future stays for Telluride Bluegrass Fest or Afro much needed mountain retreats. Thanks, John!

If youre looking to be surrounded by the majestic San Juan Mountains, tons of nature and amazing stargazing opportunities, look no further! Alpenglow checks all the boxes! The remote location is accessible by winding dirt roads as you head up in elevation... 9500 ft or so. The drive is fun and scenic. Roads to the property are maintained well. Your vehicle will get dirty. It's worth it! Our host, John, greeted us kindly as we pulled up. He promptly gave us a tour of his unique home that he started building 30 years ago. He showed us around to the different rooms and amenities. He has interesting photos and decor throughout and there are charming stories behind all of it. Note... He does stay on the property in an adjoining section of the house. Once we parted ways we never saw him for the 5 days we were there. He was quiet and respectful of our privacy.Be sure to come with an open mind. Embrace the unique designs and architecture. It's fun and you'll get lost in the little details of this house. The great room has an amazing 180 degree view of the San Juan Mountains. We came with the intent to stargaze and get close to nature and we got it! We got unreal Milky Way views at night (or early morning... 3am!). Excellent mountain views. A beautiful sunrise. There were elk, deer and other furry/feathered friends to search for throughout the day. Overall a great stay!

Quiet, clean and incredible views! Surrounded by mountains and aspens. We saw several mule deer, chipmunks and heard what we think was coyotes. There was evidence of a bear (if you know what I mean) but we never actually saw any. It was a wonderful relaxing week with breathtaking views out every (huge) window . John was very helpful and only a text away if we needed anything. Highly recommended!

We had a great time at the property. Such a beautiful location and very relaxing. Would say again 😎

What a gorgeous property! My wife and I had a wonderful stay and loved being outside enjoying the views. John was very kind and welcomed us to the house. The house had all the amenities we needed and we look forward to coming back.
