About this house rental
Enjoy arguably the finest view of any rental property in Telluride at Rivercrown 2, a luxury town home built in 2006. Rivercrown 2 directly faces Ajax peak, with an uninterrupted vista over the beaver pond and town park from the second floor great room, large outdoor deck, third floor master bedroom, and upstairs deck with hot tub. Whether you are cooking in the kitchen, relaxing in the living room, or star gazing from the decks, everything at Rivercrown 2 orients toward Telluride’s box canyon.
Named for the bend in the San Miguel river around which it curves, Rivercrown has an in-town location close to restaurants, the gondola, and trail heads. The river trail, Bear Creek trail, and beaver pond are just around the corner from the house. The house is not ski-in/out, but the gondola is, and it's an easy, fast two block walk. In winter, one can ski along the flat river trail to and from the gondola. In summer, the Bear Creek Trail begins steps from the house and heads to a beautiful waterfall. The River Trail passes directly behind the unit and leads to Town Park in a five minute walk. The heart of Main Street shopping and restaurants are three blocks away. Even closer, Smugglers Bar and Grill is around the corner, and La Marmotte restaurant a block away. Everything is easily walkable, so consider leaving a car behind. If you do bring a car, the unit has a private, heated one-car garage plus another reserved parking spot in front of it.
As of January 2015, Rivercrown 2 was one of six vacation rental homes in the town of Telluride designated as a luxury property by travel authority Andrew Harper. Upon entering the private drive and parking area, you’ll notice the beautiful stonework in a European lodge style. On each level, Rivercrown 2 features high ceilings, heated Idaho quartzite and Douglas fir floors, and oak cabinets. From ground level, enter via the one-car garage or front door into a large foyer with spiral staircase leading upstairs. The ground floor has three bedrooms and two full baths. The first guest suite has a split king bed (it can be either a king-sized bed or reconfigured as two twins) with private bathroom, including a shower/tub combination. The second guest bedroom has a king bed and attached bathroom. The third bunk room will sleep 4 adults or 6 kids in a twin/twin bunk and a full/full bunk; it shares the bathroom with the second bedroom. A stacked clothes washer and dryer is also on this level.
A spiral staircase leads to the great room that occupies the entire second floor. The kitchen, dining area, and living area orient toward the view of Ajax Peak, framed by huge sliding glass doors and 10'-12' ceilings. The full gourmet kitchen features a top-of-the-line stove by Thermador, Viking double oven, Bosch stainless steel dishwasher and refrigerator, a center island sink with bar seating, a large dining table for eight, and a complete set of All-Clad cookware. A gas fireplace made with Anasazi Colorado gold rock anchors the lounge area. Multiple couches and wide chairs face the fireplace and HDTV. For movie and music enjoyment, a world-class surround system (highlighted by DALI speakers) integrates seamlessly into the room. We've stocked the house with a collection of the best filmed-in-Colorado movies and, in honor of the festivals, high-fidelity recordings of bluegrass, jazz, and blues. Unlike the other Rivercrown units, #2 has a powder room on this floor. Outside on the spacious deck sit a picnic bench, grill, and seating. The freestanding, 42' natural gas grill by TwinEagles is one of the world's best. The deck is fabulous on sunny days, but it really shines during the Jazz and Bluegrass Festivals. Past guests have enjoyed listening to concerts at Town Park without leaving the deck.
The master suite occupies the entire third floor. The master bedroom features a king bed, HDTV, walk-in closet, day bed, and great views. The king bed features a $12,000 Duxiana 6006 mattress, arguably the world's best. We have Duxiana mattresses in both of our vacation homes, and if you've never experienced one, we think you'll love it. The large master bathroom has a steam shower and oversize jetted tub. The deck off of the master bedroom has a large hot tub with a panoramic view of Ajax, Ballard, and the beaver pond. Nature watching over the beaver pond is a particular treat, especially at dawn and dusk, when the beavers head out repeatedly from their lodge, returning with branches in tow. The house has high-quality binoculars so that you can see the beavers and birds up close.
There are other Rivercrown units for rent, and all of them are nice. These are some of the things that differentiate Rivercrown 2:
1) One of just two units that directly face Ajax Peak. The other units angle toward Ballard Peak.
2) The only property with a fourth (bunk) bedroom.
3) The only property with a powder room on the great room level. Trust us, you’ll appreciate that.
4) High-end furniture, artwork, outdoor grill, and music/audio system.
5) Sound-proofing between the stairwell and master bedroom, as well as between the master bedroom and master bath.
6) Duxiana 6006 king mattress in the master bedroom.
Rivercrown 2 is listed for rent directly by its owners. We take pride in offering a special property in a special location, and we truly hope to exceed each guest’s expectations. Local service, including check-in and check-out, are provided by professional managers with decades of experience, located just around the corner on S. Pine St. We’d love the opportunity to help you enjoy a dream vacation in Telluride.

Grand place with outstanding view.

Stayed here for a ski trip with friends. It is the best location in town - ski in/out with ease and a short wall to all of Telluride's restaurants. We loved our stay and will definitely be coming back. The place is very well furnished and comfortable. And the view is even better in person.
4.9
Our group of 5 had ample room. The condo was fully stocked with everything needed. The location is amazing and we will definitely return.

You can't beat the location and views from this condo in Telluride. The property manager was helpful and overall we thoroughly enjoyed our stay. The master bedroom and main floor are stunning. I will say that the 3 downstairs bedrooms are smaller than we anticipated and are in need of many repairs and updates. Condo could also use a smart TV in the living room as the older TV proved to be difficult to use. We will definitely consider staying here again and hopefully the condo will receive some TLC in the meantime.

Second time staying at this property and plan to do it again! Brent is very responsive and the property is very nice and convenient. Two blocks to gondola, grocery store and liquor store. Restaurants and bars all around. Great stay and plenty of snow!
4.9
Great Location in Telluride - within blocks of multiple fantastic restaurants and the gondola to get to mountain village/ski slopes. Place was clean and fantastic views off the living area and master bedroom. Had a little trouble with the TV in the living room and overall entertainment system - Seems like a Smart TV and soundbar would simplify and make things easier (saw other reviews who also had issues). We were able to work it out and everything ended up great. We would definitely rent and stay here again, whether a trip with family or friends.
4.9
Beautiful property, very well located within minutes of all things in town. Beautiful views from balconies, hot tub, and living room. Great layout with 3 bedrooms on the ground floor, living space on the second floor, and the master separated on the 3rd floor.
4.9
We had a wonderful time at Rivercrown. Visiting our son who works in Telluride it was a perfect location. We parked the car and didn’t use it the whole 4 days we were there. Walk to main street, the gondola, and all the great restaurants!
4.9
This property is in the best location in Telluride and was amazing. If you are staying here, you will not be disappointed. The only thing to take into consideration is the master is on the 3rd floor, so along with the hot tub. So if you have someone in your family who has a hard time with stairs, that may be hard. The majority of the bedrooms are on the first floor, the living on the 2nd and the master on the 3rd. The views are exquisite!

Casual elegance, wonderful amenities, fun location, astounding views in this spacious town home.
Thank you Brett!!

We always have a great time with our children & grandchildren. The location is perfect as it’s close to everything. The view was breathtaking. Absolute best in Telluride.

Rivercrown #2 is an awesome place to stay with great access to the town of Telluride. You can easily walk everywhere and the gondola is 2 blocks away. The view from the great room and patio are amazing and there is easy access to the walking path along the river. You come in on the first floor where there are 3 bedrooms so there are stairs to get to the main floor/kitchen and master. I highly recommend the property and will be back! Thanks Brent!

Telluride is our family's favorite place, and this is the best place to stay in Telluride. So close to everything for adults and kids to enjoy in the town. And capping off each day watching the sunset and enjoying the from the deck is impossible to beat. We've stayed here a bunch of times now, and will always choose Rivercrown 2 whenever we can find it available.
4.9
This place has the best view in Telluride and is in the perfect location to enjoy the mountain and the the town. Better yet, check-in and units details are great, and the owner is extraordinarily responsive, patient and helpful when inevitable questions arise.
4.9
Great location, just a few minute walk to the gondola and in the best part of town. The home has everything you need - and if anything is an issue, it is taken care of immediately. The views are the best you can get in the town of Telluride because all you see if mountains instead of other homes. Hot tub is terrific and the beds are super comfortable. We stayed here before and will stay again!
4.9
A spacious place in a great location and has everything you need for a great stay. Plus, the views are SPECTACULAR... have to be the best in Telluride. The only complaint is with the property management company. Terrible communication on basic items and several essential amenities were broken (that they were aware of) that they didn't bother to fix or communicate with us. Other than their ineptitude, it was a great stay.

This year our fathers and adult sons ski trip brought us to Telluride, CO. The Rivercrown 2 Townhome was perfect for the 7 of us. We typically cook our own breakfasts & dinners and the kitchen was very well equipped. Open floor plan kitchen/dining/living works great for our large Group. Location was perfect, easy walking distance to the ski lift(s), local breweries, grocery store, old town. Views out over the stream/meadow and the Telluride box canyon were incredible. Hot tub on the 3rd floor deck was a bonus. One of the best Properties we have stayed over the past 10+ years with our Group. We would certainly stay here again if our travels bring us back to Telluride.
4.9
Location is unmatched for appreciating the box canyon that Telluride is located.
Building is completed with comfort in mind, and high end touches.
Unfortunately for our group, the features we most looked forward to were not given the attention they deserved for the price we paid.
Sound system and video didn’t work in the main floor area, and was blamed on the previous guests. This should have been addressed immediately upon discovery. Deck was ice and snow covered, as was the hot tub area, which made opening the cover all the way impossible. Gas grill instructions were not accurate, and the ignition switch was not working so we had an adventure starting it up with matches and long wood skewers! Finally, the coffee maker failed due to scale build up, forcing us to go out early for expensive Sunday morning brews from BIT.
I’m sorry, but these details need to be resolved before check in. Property management companies need to keep up with issues like these and come up with immediate results when you pay a premium for a property.

This house is modern and well-equipped, and is so close to everything downtown, including the gondola. It has 3 master bedrooms, perfect for a group of friends.

The house was in a perfect location, 2 blocks to the gondola and 3 blacks to the Main Street in Telluride.

Perfect place for a family vacation. tons of space and kitchen was well stocked. Very close to gondola

This is by the far the best location with the best view in Telluride. The whole process was the smoothest VRBO stay we have ever experienced. We are a couple and just used the main floor and the top master bedroom suite. There are 3 bedrooms on the ground floor and thus this would be a perfect rental for a larger group as well. The hot tub on the deck off of the master bedroom is amazing. It looks over the box canyon and is perfect for the colder months. One of the most beautiful views we have ever seen and we have been to a lot of beautiful places. Hard to relate how great the. Reality of this condo. Thanks for sharing this amazing place!
4.9
This is our fourth or fifth stay at Brent's place. It is always incredible, from the property, to the location, to Brent's prompt and caring communication, to the management company.
4.9
This was our second time staying at this property. We like it because it is located in the downtown area just steps away from restaurants and shopping. It is also right below the trailhead. The condo itself is well appointed with a gorgeous view. The local property manager was very kind and understanding while we were dealing with the neighbor's construction issues.
4.9
We were very pleased and impressed with this condo! We were a group of friends but I can imagine this condo being great for a couple families too! The garage was great for storing bikes. The layout, location and views were outstanding!
4.9
We have stayed at other River Crown units and recommend the development. This unit #2 has a bathroom on the main living floor and an additional bedroom which would be nice if you had small children.
That said, the floors are stone including the stairs of which there are several. These are not child friendly.
This unit was very comfortable, enjoyed the sound system and wonderful views. The unit is equipped with everything we needed and management was quick to respond to our inquiries.
We would definitely consider staying here again

Amazing place, once again
We've stayed in Brent and Hillary's place many times, and it's simply the best homebase for adventuring in Telluride. Was extra special this time to have a front row seat to the hot air balloon festival from the patio. Can't say enough great things about this place.

Great walkable location with excellent views—such a relaxing location with room for extended family to spread out comfortably and well-equipped to enjoy home-cooked group meals. Fantastic vacation home!
