Gondola Resorts Newest Telluride Rental

Castlewood is a Telluride ski-in ski-out property located on the Double Cabins ski run in Mountain Village. This 19th century western-style mansion is over 17,000 square feet,
and it has 2,000 square feet of deck space, a stone grotto hot tub, a waterfall and a dipping tub. It also sits on an acre on the top of a knoll, and it has mountain views of the San Sophia ridgeline. There are four bedroom suites, a loft, and a flex-room with a queen-sized Murphy bed in the main home, as well as a dining room large enough to seat 14, and a huge great room with 360 degree views. Ten bedrooms, and 13 bathrooms, a guesthouse connected to the main house, and a separate Coachmen’s house provide accommodations for up to 35 guests.

“As we aggressively pursue national prominence in the vacation rental lodging
industry, it is imperative that we establish a strong brand identity for Gondola
Resorts. In order to do that, we will continue to build our luxury portfolio of rental homes so that our new and returning guests have the absolute best assortment of rentals, like Castlewood,” said Gondola Resorts Founder and General Manager Gino Malara.

Castlewood’s initial construction started in the early 1900’s to a local merchant. As there family grew and business expanded, a Guest House was built to accommodate the long visits from family and business partners. As the settlers became more and more prosperous, the original home became the Coachman’s Quarters upstairs, and the first floor was converted to accommodate the horses and coaches.

During construction, an unexpected discovery revealed a natural hot spring on the property. To protect their valuable secret, the springs were enclosed within the Guest House, yet left mostly in their natural state with exposed rock combined with a finished grotto. They have served to comfit and soothe weary travelers for decades, and are rumored to have healing properties. Guests can take advantage of the grotto in this private and exclusive setting.

“The inviting little log cabins of yesteryear have given way to modern masterpieces, and none as extraordinary as Castlewood”, says Malara. “Certainly, Castlewood is a storybook castle in a fairytale setting. Whether you choose winter or summer, the in vogue accommodations and cachet settings are evident to live on in the memories of our Castlewood guests.”

Gondola Resorts office directly. Rates for the home start at $4400 per night with holiday rates topping-out at $13,500 per night with at least a 4-night stay.

Enjoy huge views from this rustic mansion decorated with turn-of-the century antiques, and with all the comforts of 21st century amenities.

Wander into that little slice of mountainous terrain in Southwestern Colorado known as the San Juan Mountains, and if you are fortunate you will descend into Telluride. Surrounded by snowcapped 14,000 ft. peaks, the old village of Telluride is a Victorian delight. The town sits at an oxygen light elevation of 8,800 feet, while adjacent Mountain Village is at 9,500 feet and nestled at the base of Telluride Ski Resort. Blessed with some of the finest skiing terrain on earth, and dusted with over 300 inches a year in average snowfall, this magical setting is a destination for those looking to get away as well as those looking to be noticed.

The quaint little log cabins of yesteryear have given way to modern masterpieces, and none so amazing as Castlewood.

Cascading down the hillside property, the estate covers several levels and houses some of the most impressive amenities available anywhere.

Ten bedrooms, ten and ? bathrooms, a guesthouse connected to the main house, and a separate Coachmen?s house provide accommodations for up to 35! The list of amenities is too great to list, but a few that are important to note, are ski in ski out capability from the lower level in the guest house; a massive private theater, a pool table that once graced the Clinton White House; Formal and informal dining rooms; multiple fireplaces; fifteen flat screen TV’s; multi-media hookups; a wine cellar and tasting room; an observation tower; a library; and a grotto like Jacuzzi fed by a natural hot springs!

The chefs out there need to take a special notice of the kitchen space. Or should it be more accurately termed a restaurant kitchen. Local private chefs feel as if they are right at home when creating in this amazing kitchen. Left wanting for nothing, the ample spaces and incredible level of professional fixtures and utensils provide a truly inspiring workspace. Not to be outdone, the outdoor kitchen is equally as well equipped and of course you have the added inspiration of staring at the majesty of the San Juans! Add to this the pre-provisioning option, and you could quite literally check into an already working kitchen.

The list of available amenities runs the gamut from simple guest preparations to the more complex. Available concierge service will assist you with restaurant reservations, lift tickets, transportation, massage, and so much more. Another feature important to note, is the two elevators providing passage from floor to floor.

Indeed, Castlewood is a storybook castle in a fairy-tale setting. Whether you choose the winter wonderland option or the bucolic summertime, the fabulous accommodations and dreamlike settings are sure to live on in your memories, and will certainly call you back. Again and again!
