Why owners in Telluride choose Pinnacle Path
Underperformance in Telluride almost always traces back to the same trio — timid shoulder-week pricing, a narrow channel mix, and sluggish guest communication. We rebuild each of them from day one. Our revenue team re-prices every listing daily against ski season demand, comparable RevPAR in Mountain Village and Town, and forward booking pace.
Compliance is handled in-house. San Miguel County STR permit and 8.65% lodging tax handled. Monthly reporting is a single itemised gross-to-net statement, so the commission you see is the commission you pay.
Where we operate in Telluride
We focus on the Telluride neighbourhoods where premium short-stay demand actually clears: Mountain Village, Town, Aldasoro, Hillside, Lawson Hill, Ski Ranches. Every district books differently — its own demand curve, its own guest mix, its own stay-length pattern — which is why a uniform calendar underperforms.
We review homes in other parts of the city too, and take them on only where our model shows we can outperform the market.
How we price Telluride short-term rentals
The Dec – Mar & Jun – Sep window does the heavy lifting in Telluride, but the 18–32% ADR uplift our owners typically see comes from the shoulder months. We use a proprietary model that blends competitor pricing, booking-window pace, length-of-stay mix and event signals (ski season, Bluegrass, Film Festival and Wine Festival) — re-running every 24 hours.
Stay-length rules move with the season — firm in Dec, flexible when pace slows. The result is occupancy of around 83% blended across the year on a typical Telluride portfolio property.
Telluride short-term rental FAQs
Do you handle short-term rental licensing in Telluride?+
Yes. San Miguel County STR permit and 8.65% lodging tax handled. We file on your behalf and renew automatically.
What occupancy and ADR can I expect from a Telluride property?+
On a well-positioned Mountain Village or Town residence we typically deliver around 83% blended occupancy at an ADR in the $720 range. Your own numbers will depend on the unit's size and view, its amenity set, and how the calendar was priced historically.
How is Telluride demand seasonal?+
Peak runs Dec – Mar & Jun – Sep, driven by ski season, Bluegrass, Film Festival and Wine Festival. We push rate hard through peak and then backfill the quieter weeks with shorter minimum stays, mid-term guests and corporate bookings.
What is your management fee?+
Compensation is one performance-based share of net rental revenue — no separate management retainer. Zero setup fee, zero mark-up on operational costs, and a single six-month onboarding commitment. Full pricing is shared after a portfolio review.
Can I still use my Telluride home myself?+
Yes. You block your own dates in the owner portal and the calendar re-shapes guest demand around them automatically. Owners commonly reserve four to eight weeks a year, and the annual numbers barely move.
