Family members from Illinois and Missouri joined us to experience the beauty of SW Colorado. The mountain home easily accommodated all 13 of us. The home was spacious, clean, and nicely appointed with amenities such as a hot tub, barbeque grill, and ping pong table. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay.

Our large group of family and friends couldn't have hoped for a better space to celebrate our son's graduation from Fort Lewis College.It is a very cozy and comfortable classy space, and it was equipped with everything we needed during our long weekend stay.
Grateful for the four wheel drive advance notice the weather in town vs the property and ski area vastly different. The snow was magical like a Christmas card until you have to back up the driveway in it. Overall we had a great time we improvised to remove snow with a dustpan as no shovel was to be found. The hot tub was a plus after a day snowboarding.

Reviewer Comments:
Nice house 30 minutes outside of Durango.Bedrooms nice. Spacious.On our last night the hot water stopped working but I called and maintenance was there to fix it within an hour or so! Would definitely stay again!
Large cabin with plenty of room for a large family/group. We had 2 families with teenagers and there was plenty of room for privacy and a large area downstairs for games and recreation. We loved the hot tub experience after long days of skiing. The only problem we had was we were unable to get the upstairs television to work. The Apple TV remotes wouldn’t work so we had to just air drop our own movies from our iPad to watch the TV. Definitely need 4WD vehicle if you are visiting during the snow season. Overall it was a good experience.
The house was actually nicer than the photos. Although it's not a huge house, we had plenty of room for everyone (14 guys) to hangout on the main floor because of the open floor plan and high ceiling. Between the couches in the living area, the large dining table, and the bar stools around the kitchen island, there is more than enough seating and space for 15 adults without feeling like you are on top of each other. The basement is also a nice large space.
The best part by far is how close Purgatory resort is. Being able to wake up 45 minutes before the lifts start and, without rushing, comfortably make it in line before they start taking people up is an awesome amenity. We also went up to Silverton Mountain to ski which was only a 45 minute drive.
We can in the last week of March, and even though 5-10 minutes away from the cabin there was next to no snow, when we got the the cabin there was still multiple feet of snow all over which was awesome to see. The cabin is tucked around the back of a steep hill, so it feels very secluded and private even though it's right off the highway.
The Nugget Bar being within walking distance was a great feature too. Lot of fun was had in that place.
Overall, especially for the price compared to other places, this is an incredible place to stay. I will definitely be looking to book this place again the next time I want to ski in this area.

this was our third Thanksgiving in this rental. We love it. The floors are heated, it is cozy, and it is the perfect property on which to take family pictures.. The kids enjoy sledding, the teens loved the hot tub, and the adults just love being able to play games and puzzles around the table. We always make a trip or two into Durango and always buy permits to cut down our Christmas trees. The beds could be more comfortable but other than that, we love it.
This house was perfect for the kids and adults.It was super close to Purgatory resort and provide space and relaxation for all when not skiing. Our grandchildren loved playing in the snow or downstairs and everyone enjoyed the hot tub!!!

thunbs uo very nice place and in a nice location
Property was more than expected. Beautiful place to stay with three floors for multiple rooms to enjoy and be together but also have your own space. Love the mountain neighborhood that is located in. We stayed in June and there was still some snow on the high mountains but it was very cool and green all around.

Pretty awesome. The house was beautiful, and the location was great. Couldn't have asked for anything better.
The house has everything we need. We required 2 space heaters, which helped before the house warms up.
The basement bedroom is overheated if we turn on the heating downstairs.

Two families with teenagers stayed comfortably in this spacious and well-stocked home, tucked away in a private wooded lot. Lots of beds/baths and the kitchen was stocked with staples, we wanted for nothing. Also enjoyed the fact the area was 15 degrees cooler than the city of Durango which was suffering in high 90s. Would definitely rent again!
