About this house rental
Telluride Benchmark House is an alpine ski-in & ski-out private luxury home located trail-side on the Galloping Goose ski run in the heart of the Tellluride ski resort. Adjacent to the home is the Uncompahgre National Forest. The home is situated at 10,001' altitude with spectacular mountain views, and is surrounded by towering Aspens and Pines and completely hidden at the end of a private road for complete seclusion.
* Telluride is different. Don't look for a Wal-Mart, a gas station, a neon sign, a lift-line or even a single traffic light - there are none! Nestled in a 'box canyon' and surrounded by the steep-forested San Juan Mountains, the topography of this historic mining town makes growth in any direction impossible! The entire town is designated as a historical district and maintains a small 'mining-town' charm, with strictly-governed Victorian architecture. Explore the abandoned mining camps and frontier ghost towns which dot the hillsides.
* Mountain Village is Telluride's sister town located on the mountain, in the heart of the ski area. A european-style alpine community nestled high above Telluride at 9,500+ elevation. The towns are connected by a free gondola system operating over the mountain tops. There is no need for a car as homeowner guests enjoy free SUV service anywhere in Mountain Village; a large fleet of Mercedes Benz 12-passenger Sprinter vans await your call to or from any destination.

The property was perfect and location was even better. Everything at the house was welcoming and the entire family enjoyed the long weekend. Beautiful location, night sky and quiet at all hours. The perfect place for a getaway.

We stayed here with a few friends and family (13 of us total) while we were in town for our elopement/microwedding. It was PERFECT! Everyone had their own space with beds to spare. We absolutely loved our stay and dream of coming back with friends and family for an anniversary in a few years.

We enjoyed our stay here with our group of 4 families. Great ski-in/ski-out location. We loved having the shuttle option to the gondola into Telluride or just into Mountain Village. Telluride is a very beautiful place!

We enjoyed our stay. The property was as described. The managing company responded quickly to resolve a minor issue. The ski in and ski out onto Galloping Goose is a game changer!

Had a wonderful time with friends and family. The lodge was beautiful and the setting was fantastic. We really enjoyed and appreciated the ride service provided in Mt. Village. Once we arrived we didn’t have to use our vehicles again and could go anywhere we needed with the service and the gondola down into Telluride. Communication with the owners and property manager was prompt, courteous and helpful.

I can’t recommend this house enough, we enjoyed every aspect of our stay here. The location is amazing, ski in/ski out, and dial a ride included for anywhere else you want to go. The house is amazing and stocked with everything you could want or need. The hot tub is in great condition, clean, warm, and full of water. I have nothing but great things to say about this property, stay here if you can!

Fantastic House and Experience
This house was more than we anticipated! It fit our family of 21 without any problems! We never felt like we were on top of each other, there were two refrigerators for all of our food, the game room was amazing, and the views were incredible! I highly recommend this house. It helped make our trip phenomenal!

Denver Family Getaway
The house and property were amazing. Could have been cleaner though. Kitchen and linens had to be cleaned. Also, many bicycles were available but only one worked. Disappointing.

Family reunion
This house was perfect for our family reunion. Teens enjoyed having the game room downstairs with their own space to hang out. Large number of bathrooms was helpful for our large group. Free shuttle was a nice option for those not able to walk to the gondola. Property manager was quick to respond and easy to work with. Family room was comfortable and accommodated a lot of people. Back deck was beautiful and hot tub was a bonus!

Benchmark surpasses expectations
From the time we arrived to the time we left, this home was incredible. It housed our group of 20 perfectly. We had a mix of parents and kiddos. The bottom floor allowed the kids to play games, while the middle floor served as the adult hangout and meal station. You could literally walk out the back door and ski down a double green to the base of the mountain. So convenient. Dial a ride to the village market never required a wait of over 10 minutes. Once there you could easily access the gondola to Telluride. Super convenient with beautiful views. I give this place a 10/10. I hope we will be back in the near future. It’ll be hard to top this special ski town and home.

A comfortable home in a beautiful location
This home was perfect for our group of 12. There are plenty of bedrooms and large living and deck areas. The kitchen is well-equipped, though there are not quite enough drinking glasses and no champagne flutes. That is my only complaint. There is a gorgeous view of mountains, though the view is somewhat obscured by beautiful aspen trees. Our host was helpful and very nice. We had a wonderful time and would love to return to this property!

Large comfortable home
My family of 19 enjoyed this home immensely. The description the owner provided was accurate. Having a game room/ children’s bunk room on the same floor was an added bonus particularly in the early mornings, and rainy afternoons. The property manager was attentive and easy to reach.

Incredible Stay // Intimate Wedding Celebration
My husband and I recently returned from our Mountain Village intimate wedding celebration with both of our families and we are on cloud 9! We had 19 people in attendance and this home was the center of what made our trip so enjoyable. It was impeccably clean, spacious, and centrally located in Mountain Village yet just far enough away from the main road. Even though we had quite a few people in the home we always felt like we had our own spaces as well! Julie, the home manager was wonderful to work with and always got back to me quickly on communication and answered any questions I had. The backyard was so beautiful with flowers blooming in the middle of June, the mountain views are unbeatable! We had a full family game day in the backyard one day and a wonderful private chef catered dinnner on the lawn as well. We highly recommend Chef Patrick Laguens "Wine Geek Food Freak" if you are looking for a local chef! We have memories for a lifetime after our stay at this home, we can't wait to return!

Awesome location and home
Loved the property. Plenty of room to park, play outside games, closeness to gondola and market, and the bikes were awesome to ride the trails.

Great Stay
The house was exactly as described and all we could hope for for our family gathering. Ages ranged from 11 to 74 and there was plenty of room to gather and play some of the many available games but also get some alone time. Our only negative was that, despite the high quality throughout the house, some of the master bath towels were a bit beyond their life with thin spots and frayed edges. The positives, though, vastly exceeded this minor negative. Thanks for your role in a successful family gathering.

Spectacular Winter Wonderland Ski-In Ski-Out
This is overall the best of many rentals we have stayed at with a big group. The home is very spacious, and the views are absolutely stunning! It is a natural ski-in ski-out, and the shuttle service provided to the nearby first class gondola rides was very convenient. John and Julie were very attentive and helpful. Wonderful and memorable experience for everyone!
5.0
Our group of 10 adults and 12 children in elementary school had an incredible stay at John and Julie's property. The home's location defines ski-in, ski-out and was incredibly convenient during COVID as we were avoiding crowded restaurants and bathrooms. It's located on one of the easier green runs (Galloping Goose) so our children ranging in age from 5-10 years old were very able to ski down from the home. The home has comfortable beds, an amazing deck with hot tub, great games/toys for the kids and a large, functional kitchen. All twelve of the children could sleep in the downstairs "kids lair", wake up in the morning and play fusball and shuffleboard without waking up their parents...simply priceless.The owners, John and Julie, were very accommodating and excellent communicators, as was their on site property manager. We hope to come back to Telluride, make more memories and stay in their beautiful home again.

280 Benchmark Drive, Telluride - Excellent Experience Indeed!
This was a very positive experience for our entire group. Our overall impression of the property was very positive and we would highly recommend this property to others. The location is fantastic (ski in & ski out - only 38 steps from the Galloping Goose Green Run), the house is very large and accommodating, and the management team is very responsive and helpful. The house itself is large, clean and well stocked with linens, towels and other incidentals. I would highly recommend a 4 wheel drive vehicle as the driveway is somewhat steep. Again, I would give this property a 5-star rating and recommend this to others!

Multi-family Annual Ski Trip
Each year I try to upgrade our accommodations from the previous year, but that may not be possible now. This house has it all: true ski in/ski out right out the back door, huge game room, lots of bedrooms with joining baths, massive bunk room, fantastic kitchen, living spaces with the biggest couches I’ve ever seen, and all of this is top quality. Nobody was unhappy here, and we had 17 people over the age of 16 in our group. So we’re just rebooking. Done looking.

Great house and location for a family vacation!
We stayed at this VRBO for 9 nights and it was very welcoming. The set-up is great for families, and the beds and linens are all very comfortable. The kitchen is stocked with everything you need and the game room downstairs was a huge hit with our kids the entire visit. The house is easily accessible to anywhere in Mountain Village and we used the free shuttle several times. The town of Telluride is a short ride away in the free Gondolas in town. We would definitely book another vacation at this home.

Everything you need and more
This property is absolutely gorgeous, with all of the rooms everyone can have their own space. The free mountain shuttle that comes with the property is a life saver and super efficient and no need for other transportation. The game room downstairs provides for a good time for games and fun. We did not have children with us but this would make for a perfect situation for a multiple family vacation. The owners are amazing and super efficient and lovely providing everything and more than we needed. Thank you so much, hope we can come back soon!
