About this property
Home Across from Purg - Views, Deck/Fire Pit/Ping Pong/Shuffleboard
Our 4 bedroom, 4.5 bath, 2,700 square foot home is located at Purgatory Resort and is 24 miles from downtown Durango (less than 30 minute drive). Enjoy the convenience of being at the ski resort, yet have the privacy and additional space of a house with a 2 car garage. The resort is both an amazing winter playground, and offers a wealth of all your favorite mountain activities in a cool and comfortable summer climate at 8,900 feet in elevation. For ease, there is a free on-demand shuttle to the ski resort.
The house features an open floor plan, gas fireplace, cathedral ceilings, high end appliances and great outdoor space including a gas fire pit, outdoor seating and a gas BBQ. There is also a ping pong table in the garage and shuffle board in the Loft.
The townhome is part of the resort so you have access to free on-demand shuttle service to Purgatory Ski Resort, but since it is across the highway you have the privacy and additional space a townhome affords. At 8,900 feet of elevation, the home is a gateway to an amazing winter playground and also serves as the perfect summer retreat, with a million acres of national forest land at your doorstep offering all your favorite mountain activities. It's only a 2 minute walk to Twilight Lake for fishing and paddle boarding and as well as Purgatory Flats Trailhead, one of the most scenic hikes in the San Juan Mountains. Horseback riding, jeep trails, an alpine slide, epic mountain biking and the Purgatory Inferno Mountain Coaster are all less than 5 minutes from the townhome.
Bed Configuration (All bedrooms have attached bathrooms): Master Bedroom - King Bed with TV (2nd Floor) 2nd Master - King Bed with TV (Main Floor) 3rd Bedroom - Queen Bed with TV (2nd Floor) 4th Bedroom - Queen Bed and 2 day beds with trundle (4 Twins)
The home is pet friendly (2 pet max) and the pet fee is $40/day (Max $250).
For an optional 4% resort fee, you will have access to the Durango Mountain Club which includes an outdoor heated pool with slide, outdoor hot tub and workout facility. The 4% resort fee included in the quote is the required resort fee that must be charged and does not allow access to the Durango Mountain Club. When booking, just advise if you would like the extra 4% resort fee added.
Stay with us and we offer DISCOUNTS on both summer (white water rafting, horseback riding, etc) and winter (ski/snowboard rentals, sleigh rides, snowmobile tours, etc) activities.
Please note that, like most properties in the area, this home does not have AC, as it is uncommon for homes at this elevation. Temperatures inside the property are easily managed by using fans and opening the windows at night when temperatures drop into the 40s.

Our family had a wonderful week long vacation and loved the location, amenities, and beautiful views from the windows! We used the grill a couple nights, made chocolate chip cookies, and used the pool in purgatory village a couple of days. Perfect place to use as home base for all the attractions- rafting’s, mine tour, Silverton, and Durango.. Highly recommend

We had a great experience at this house. We had family of 5 + 2 grandparents at the house. It was the perfect accommodation for all of us. We would rent the house again. The location was perfect for skiing at Purgatory. As a bonus, we think the house must have the best view of Engineer mountain in the neighborhood!
Our stay started a little rough. The dryer was non-functional, the back doors could not be locked, and the internet service was sporadic, requiring the Durango Utility Department to make a trip to the home to try to fix it. Each took away from the enjoyment of the stay.
The home could have been cleaned more, especially on the floors, windows, outdoor patio, and furniture. This is a pet-friendly home, and that is understood, but I had to wash a few blankets due to pet urine and hair.
My communication with VRC was quick and responsive, and they fulfilled their promise to ensure I was satisfied with my stay. VRC provided effective customer service.
I would stay at this home again because the location is beautiful with Twilight Lake, but I would like not to have to clean the house upon arrival.

Reviewer Comments:
One of the best neighborhoods to stay in while visiting Purgatory. The location and on-demand shuttle service makes this neighborhood top our list in the past 4 years. This property is as advertised, well decorated and equipped with plenty of kitchen items and great bathroom products. However there was tons of hair all throughout the house (not sure if it was human or animal). The bathtub in the master bath had not been cleaned in some time and some minor repairs are needed (kitchen faucet leaks/shoots water everywhere when pulled out, hair dryer not working, outside furniture broken, etc). All pretty minor.I would have given this property a 4/5 or even a 4.5/out of 5 but the property management company was by far the worst I've experienced in nearly 80 stays between Air BnB and VRBO. 1. They utilize some sort of texting service that is either AI generated or 3rd party from another country (non English). 2. When you call the help number, you are greeted by someone that is less than happy to take your phone call. I don't want much from a host or host company- but basic information requests that should have been delineated in a pre-stay email should be happily answered- not met with rudeness. 3. There was no instructions on how the house should be left, no booklet, no communication via email or text. I had to ask for these and was provided an AI generated list via text an hour before checkout AFTER requesting. 4. Having a simple email with "need to know" information would have been helpful. The Durango Collective (VRC) are clearly more interested in their own branding than actually management. 5. The "live" or maybe "local" person didn't communicate with the "text AI bot" and questions weren't answered.Overall, I hope the ownership of the property can find a different property management company as the property was well suited our two families and the location is the absolute best.
The house and property were fantastic, with plenty of activities to enjoy without ever leaving. Our group continues to grow each year, and the size of the home accommodated everyone comfortably. The location couldn’t have been better, close to the ski resort, with the shuttle conveniently picking us up right at the front door. We’d love to come back and experience the property during the summer as well.

We had a very good experience, shuttle bus was always ready to pick us up to take us to ski area and coming back to the house.Every time we needed some advise for house equipment we always got an immediate respond, people in service were very friendly!
Nice house, nice view, nice location. Kitchen was missing a few items but other than that it was great. Comfortable beds, nice showers and bath. Snowshoe and cross country skiing right out back door.
Beautiful home across the street from purgatory! Very clean with everything we needed. Super convenient to have the shuttle pick us up and bring us home from purgatory. Will stay again
We loved this incredible home. It was easy to check in and the place was even better in person. It was well stocked with supplies and the kitchen had everything you needed to cook. It was clean and such a wonderful location. We even had a baby bear come visit us on the porch the last morning (so keep your trash up and don't leave doors open) We want to come back soon!!

We had an excellent experience here. It’s walking distance to the lifts But an even quicker drive. The house was well appointed and perfect for 3 families with 5 kids combined. Would definitely recommend and stay here again! We chose to pay the resort fee for access to the hot tub but discovered it’s really not all that close/convenient, so if you’re on the fence, I would say skip it.

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay in the home by Purgatory. The home was very comfortable and well stocked in the kitchen. The view outside the large windows was spectacular. The bedrooms were very comfortable. The location right across the highway from Purgatory ski resort was very convenient. We did have an issue with no hot pads or kitchen dish towels in kitchen which required several phone calls to correct. Plus the oven stopped working, but they sent a repairman right away and fixed the problem. ***( We discovered a couple days later the missing dish towels that were left in the washing machine by maids. We washed them again, as they smelled bad after sitting in washing machine for who knows how long.)

Reviewer Comments:
The cabin was very nice. There was no a/c and in 90 degree heat it can be warm in the cabin. The management company was quick to bring us some fans to help. There were a few minor things about the cabin that should be addressed. The railing on the back porch is falling apart. It's not really a big danger to anyone since its only about a 3 foot drop onto some soft grass but we were staying there with 4 toddlers so it was a concern for us. The back door in the living room did not properly lock. Also there was a ton of home construction going on around us. The cabin is not just 1 of four on that road anymore. The washing machine was broken and in the process of being repaired (waiting on parts to come in) but the management team was very quick to find a vacant rental for us to go to and use the washer and dryer. But all and all we loved the cabin and the location and had the best time.

A wonderful time with all the family. Plenty of room to hang out and sleep. The grandkids even built an igloo in the backyard. When we received a foot of snow the night before we left, it was a treat to have the trucks early the next morning cleaning the roads and driveways.
This is an amazing house, lots of space for everyone, great location, clean, and well appointed. Our family had a fantastic time and hope to stay again. The property management group was very responsive. Highly recommend.
