Glamorous Getaways

Luxury vacation rentals make a trip to the mountains seem like a visit to the home of a very stylish friend

If you’re the kind of traveler who likes to unpack your bags, take a deep breath and settle right in, then renting a luxury vacation home might provide just the sort of laid-back break you need. With residential options ranging from rustic to regal, relaxed to refined, petite to palatial, there’s bound to be an ideal home tucked into the mountains just waiting for you. 

And, fortunately, there is a growing number of stellar property rental agencies specializing in high-country holiday destinations. From a weekend away to a month-long retreat or more, renting a beautifully furnished house in an idyllic location provides an appealing “home-away-from-home” fantasy experience that is different from the resort scene. In your own luxurious residence, you can enjoy a little independence and let your hair down with privacy. 

Many extended families prefer vacation home rentals because they provide ample, versatile space. That means kids and adults, parents and grandparents, and sometimes even pets, have plenty of room to roam and rest—or cook or swim or putt on a private green. And with some deliciously decadent concierge services available to renters, you can choose whether you’d like to raise a glass, cast a line, bike a trail or snowshoe through the frosty woods with the best local guides and services at your command.
