About this property

Eagles Nest: A Pure Slice of Heaven

This beautiful 36 acre mountain retreat at 9100 ft, offers every amenity imaginable and would appeal to the dreamer, the artist, the writer, a family or a group of great friends looking to enjoy fresh air, sunshine, and solitude yet only short drive from Telluride Mountain Ski resort, a world class summer & winter destination.

“Eagles Nest” offers breathtakingly beautiful 360 views of the Uncompahgre and San Miguel Ranges and sights as far as Utah. Enjoy your morning coffee on the expansive wrap-around deck surrounded by ponderosa pines and aspen trees while watching the humming birds buzz, and the eagles catch the thermals. During the day, depending on your season, enjoy a day of hiking, fly-fishing, rafting, snowshoeing, cross country or downhill skiing, or just reading a good book and then relax your muscles in the 8 person hot tub just off the deck. In the evening, while watching spectacular sunsets, delight in cooking a gourmet meal while feeling the crackling warmth of the Irish Waterford wood burning fireplace set between the 8-foot picture windows in the cathedral ceiling living room. Finally, gaze, in awe, at the million star-filled sky that can never be adequately described. This is truly a destination in and of itself to let you leave the world behind and fill your mind, body and soul with all the beauty of a Colorado mountain retreat.

And even though you will feel a world away, Telluride Town and Telluride Mountain Ski Resort are only 30 minutes away, where you can shop, downhill ski, dine in world class restaurants, or see a movie at the Nugget. With summer festivals (film, wine tasting, music) almost every weekend, and winter skiing that is second to none, Telluride is a world class resort with an old mining town feel.

Our home offers 4 bedrooms (1 king and 3 queen) plus one extra queen sofa bed in the 3rd floor observatory that comfortably sleeps 10. We have two full baths, an open living room, and dining area that seats 14. The enormous deck also has ample seating for dining as well as a stainless steel barbeque, chairs and stone coffee table.

If in winter, you can enjoy snowshoeing, with 8 pair of snow shoes for your use and you can start your “exercise” right outside the door.
If in summer, enjoy some of the best fly fishing on the San Miguel river at the base of our access road. Or take a hike on the wildflower filled Mesa. The sky is truly the limit!
If you are a long term renter and have to do some work, the house is has two desk areas, a fax/copier/ printer, and WiFi. When you are done with work, you can relax to your favorite surround sound music, watch Satellite TV, or a DVD.
Other Amenities include dog friendly environment, regular road plowing, and backup generator so you should never be without power.

Absolutely beautiful home out in the woods/nature!
The family and I had a wonderful vacation at this home. We saw beautiful sunrises in the living room. The home was very private, very spacious and beautiful. We enjoyed watching nature and the serene beauty and quiet of the woods in mountains!

Great winter view
Had a wonderful trip. Got snowed in and loved it on Christmas Day. House had great views and lots of room. Was seven miles down a forestry road. Was a challenge with the ice. Listing didn’t mention need for four wheel drive or chains. Property owner communication was great. Mentioned need for four wheel drive in pre stay communication a couple days before stay was to occur. Our party made it work getting to and from the house.

Unbelievable views of the Mesa and mountains
The home is very spacious and the views would be hard to match. We saw deer daily outside the windows and a bear driving up to the house. It is off the main road, but that is what gives you the views. We would definitely stay again. Property manager was on top of things to ensure satisfaction. Nice central location to Ourey, Telluride and Moab.

Amazing view
We stayed at Eagles Nest with four couples during the Telluride Bluegrass festival. The house was amazing and very comfortable. Although we didn’t cook dinners, the kitchen was well appointed. The views from the living room and deck were amazing. The beds were comfortable. Showers were terrific. We gave it a four star rating for listing accuracy because it was further from the town of Placerville than expected. That being said, the location was beautiful and very peaceful. Would recommend for a group or family getaway.

We really enjoyed the views off the deck. Breathtaking sunrise & sunsets. Lovely, comfortable home. Robes a really nice & special touch. Really appreciated how clean it was, the coffee maker especially. We’ve had some bad luck in the past with other rentals. The check out was a breeze unlike so many other places. Would 100% stay again.

Serene location Beautiful home
This home was lovely it had beautiful views. It had all the necessities and more for making home cooked meals. I was quite happy we chose to stay a bit out of town from Telluride. Definitely worth the drive to have some space compared to the smaller spaces in town. The hot tub was a great nightcap to end the days from walking and hiking.

AhhhhhMazing property atop a mountain with spectacular views! In area to visit Telluride, but enjoyed the peace and quiet of the mountains. Daily sightings of deer! Even an elk! Cozy fireplace, plenty of hangout space, bedroom accommodations, full kitchen conveniences. We were 3 adult couples and had plenty of room. Recommend this property!!

Gorgeous Home
This house has stunning views , it's very well stocked, spacious living and sleeping areas, and a wonderful hot tub It is located 45 minutes from Telluride. Definitely follow the home owners' suggestion that you rent a 4 wheel drive car/SUV. It 's a long dirt road to the house, it was plowed but somewhat difficult to navigate. However ,it was well worth it! The owner's were very responsive to our needs and provide an immaculate , warm and inviting home.

Beautiful and Spacious
Beautiful location and super spacious and comfortable house. We were very impressed with the road maintenance (snow clearing) to the house, especially given the remote location. One still has to be extra cautious driving to the house, which adds to the driving time to the Telluride ski resort. I would love to come back during the summer!

Incredible views!
We had an amazing time at Eagles Nest! We stayed in the summer and planned activities near Ouray and Telluride, so the location was perfect! We went to Box Cañon Falls, Bear Creek Falls, and Cascade Falls in Ouray. We spent an afternoon at the Ouray Hot Springs. We rode the free gondola in Telluride and visited Bridal Veil Falls. Some of us hiked the Blue Lakes Trail, which was absolutely beautiful! We visited Alta Ghost Town and paddleboarded at Alta Lakes. My brother summited Mt. Sneffels. We rented UTVs in Ouray and drove up Yankee Boy Basin and Governor Basin. The scenery there was breathtaking! There's so much to do in the area, and we always looked forward to coming home to Eagles Nest. It is such a peaceful place. We felt like we were away from everything and immersed in nature. We loved the large windows in every room, and the fold out dining table worked perfectly for our big family. The hot tub was nice to relax in, and the kids enjoyed exploring the property. The best part was the incredible views from the deck! The photos do not do it justice. The hosts were great, responsive and helpful. We hope to come back soon!

Wonderful Seclusion
This was our second time staying at the property. Adam has done an excellent job updating the home and providing everything that you need for a comfortable stay. Coming from a large city, we look forward to vacations as far from the hustle and noise of city life as possible and Eagles Nest provides that. Your neighbors are deer and elk and the views are outstanding. Internet and cell service at the house are both very good for staying connected or planning the next day's adventure and we look forward to going back!

Specie Mesa is gorgeous. It’s our 2nd time staying here. We like out on the country vs being right in town. It just depends on what you’re looking for and what you’re planning on doing. We always go between Ouray, Ridgway and Telluride doing our activities of hiking, jeeping, rafting, and visiting some farmers markets and various shopping. We love the solitude though ♥️

Fantastic - Photos don’t do it justice
We had a great time staying at the house, which is fantastic. Pictures don’t do it justice. The views are incredible (you’re looking right across the Wilson mesa to the Telluride box canyon. The location is remote and gives a real sense of seclusion. The drive up the mesa to the property is doable by any vehicle with good all season tires in the winter (thanks to regular post-storm snow plowing all the way to the house).
