15 Vacation Rentals with Awe-Inspiring Views
Photos, or didn’t happen.
That seems to sum up today’s travel culture, so it’s no wonder one TripAdvisor survey found that 83% of respondents rated “stunning views” as the most important factor in booking a vacation home.
At InvitedHome, we have no shortage of stunning views in our luxury rentals, and it actually proved far more difficult than we expected to narrow down the list of vacation rentals with breathtaking views to just 15. Homes in the list below are located in some of our most popular destinations, including Telluride, Lake Tahoe, Breckenridge, Vail, and Park City.
Don’t let your next vacation rental fall flat. Take a look through these spectacular homes, and imagine yourself waking up to these vistas. Want to make it a reality? Just click on the home and check for availability.
Mountain Kingdom
Breckenridge, Colorado
Mountain Kingdom, located in a quiet valley just south of Breckenridge, is the perfect escape and comes with views you'll want to take in for days. The Hoosier Ridge Valley is on full display from the back deck, which features a hot tub, ample seating, and an outdoor pizza oven. Click here to learn more about this stunning rental.
The Mariner
North Lake Tahoe, California
Whether it's from your private dock, the contemporary living room, or your serene wraparound balcony, you'll enjoy views of placid Lake Tahoe and the surrounding mountains at The Mariner. Situated right on the coast of quiet Carnelian Bay, this is truly a unique place to spend a vacation.
Dancing Bear
Telluride, Colorado
Dancing Bear is perched atop a hill in the famous Mountain Village neighborhood of Telluride, so you know you're in for panoramic views of the San Sophia Ridge and the surrounding mountains. We chose the view from the hot tub for this shot, but rest assured there's no shortage of views from inside the home. Click here for more photos and booking information.
Il Podere
Cordillera, Colorado
You'd be forgiven for mistaking Il Podere's jaw-droppingly gorgeous vistas for the rolling hills of Tuscany -- that's exactly what the builders were hoping for. Set in the mountains of Cordillera, just outside of Beaver Creek, this home comes with 230 acres of pristine wilderness full of hiking, biking, and snowshoeing trails, and the views are equally amazing in every direction. See all photos and check availability here.
Cabin on the Ridge
Telluride, Colorado
When the only way to get to the home is via a gondola that tops out at around 10,500 feet, you know the views are going to be good. Cabin on the Ridge is one of Telluride's highest properties, and even comes with a built-in oxygen system to create an environment more similar to an altitude of 6,000 feet. You'll want to check out all the photos of this breathtaking home here (or see booking availability).
Plaza at Granita Penthouse
Telluride, Colorado
Another Telluride favorite, this penthouse is set at the top of Mountain Village's famous "core," where all the shops, restaurants, and bars are located. From here, you can relax on your private terrace and look over the entire range, then step out your door for a night on the town. It's the best of both worlds. See photos and booking information here.
The Folk Lorian
Telluride, Colorado
Leave it to Telluride to play host to some of the country's best mountain views. At the Folk Lorian, you'll have a picture window in the living room that looks out over the town's famous craggy ridge. Come winter, this is also an excellent ski-in, ski-out condo. Learn more here.
Casi Cielo
Deer Valley, Utah
This is how the Jordanelle River in Park City, Utah is meant to be seen. Whether it's from the hot tub, the deck, or inside this gorgeous estate, the views of the Utah wilderness and Jordanelle valley are unbeatable from Casi Cielo. See all the photos of this amazing home and learn about booking here.
Sierra Shores
South Lake Tahoe, California
Boasting some of the best views in all of South Lake Tahoe, the Sierra Shores luxury townhome complex is set right on its own private beach. Feel the lake breeze from your balcony, and admire the mountains that seem to grow right out of the water. We have several rooms available for rent in this complex -- learn more here.
Canyon View Retreat
Telluride, Colorado
Two things to keep in mind when staying at Canyon View Retreat: Remember to breathe, and bring a camera. The views of Telluride's sharp peaks are mesmerizing and plentiful, with new vistas of the mountains appearing from windows in nearly every room in the home.
Stella Nova
North Lake Tahoe, California
This modern mountain marvel is located right on the slopes of Northstar Ski Resort, so you'll share the same views as the skiers swooshing down. The view is especially great from the hot tub, which is on the back deck and looks out over the whole valley. Learn more about Stella Nova at Northstar here.
Sierra Sanctuary
North Lake Tahoe, California
Sierra Sanctuary is also located in North Lake Tahoe's Northstar resort community. From the living room, you'll have sweeping views over the soaring Ponderosa and Jeffrey pines below. Check out all the photos and see booking information here.
Grandview Retreat
Lake Tahoe, California
It's nearly impossible to take a bad photograph of Lake Tahoe's famous Carnelian Bay, so it's no wonder the views from Grandview Retreat are as pretty as any picture. Relax in the sumptuous living area and look out the floor-to-ceiling windows to the shimmering lake and the peaks beyond. See all of Grandview Retreat here.
Aspenglow Chalet
Breckenridge, Colorado
Aspenglow Chalet is located in a quiet corner of Breckenridge and has astounding views from the deck, hot tub, living areas, and dining table, as pictured here. With enough space to sleep 16 people, our guests love using this home as a family reunion gathering space. Learn more about this home here.
Seventh Heaven
Breckenridge, Colorado
Better Homes and Gardens, the Discovery Channel, and countless websites have all created content about Seventh Heaven, and it's not hard to see why. A massive wall of windows provides unobstructed views of the Breckenridge mountains, and that's just a fraction of what draws guests from all over the world to this famous luxury rental. See all photos and booking information here.
