Moments at Dunton Town House

A quieter way to experience Telluride’s most iconic weeks.

Telluride reveals itself differently depending on when you’re here. These are the moments our guests most love planning around, along with a few lesser-known highlights, each offering a distinct rhythm, atmosphere, and sense of place.

A Classic Winter Weekend
Valentine’s & Presidents’ Weekend | February 14–16
A timeless winter escape with crisp mountain air, unhurried mornings, and the simple pleasure of being together in the mountains. A long weekend that feels traditional, not performative.

Bluegrass, From Your Own Front Door
Telluride Bluegrass Festival | June 18–21
Typically books early
Early summer in Telluride comes alive with music, long light-filled days, and the valley fully waking up from winter. Staying at Dunton Town House means you’re close enough to feel the energy, with the luxury of space and calm when the day winds down.

Red, White & Telluride
Fourth of July | July 4
Typically books early
There is nothing quite like the Fourth of July in Telluride, a storybook parade, the entire town gathered, and fighter jets flying the length of the box canyon to kick things off. Americana at its most unforgettable.

Telluride, Between Screenings
Telluride Film Festival | August 28–31 (Labor Day Weekend)
Limited availability, often books early
Film Festival weekend is one of Telluride’s most electric and most intense. Dunton Town House offers a different way to experience it, with films by day, quiet mornings, and relaxed evenings between screenings.

High Alpine Blues
Blues & Brews Festival | September 18–20
Early autumn brings warm days, cool nights, and a slower rhythm that suits the mountains perfectly. Blues & Brews sets the soundtrack, while Dunton Town House offers a refined, relaxed home base just steps from Main Street.

A Quiet Start to the New Year
New Year’s Eve | December 31
For guests who prefer reflection over revelry, snow outside, a wonderful meal at Dunton Kitchen on the mountain, fireworks in the distance, and a gentle transition into the year ahead.

Other Noteworthy Moments

Telluride Jazz Festival
August 7–9
A relaxed, soulful summer weekend with music woven gently through town. An appealing alternative for guests who enjoy atmosphere and culture without the intensity of larger festival weeks.

Telluride Mushroom Festival
August 12–16
One of Telluride’s most distinctive gatherings, curious, thoughtful, and deeply connected to the surrounding landscape. A fascinating weekend for guests drawn to nature, learning, and the unexpected.
