About this property
Slope Side Retreat w/ Spectacular Mountain Views. Pet Friendly!
Slope Side * Newly Remodeled Balcony * BBQ * 1274 sq ft * 2.5 Bedrooms * 2 Full Baths * Fireplace * Spectacular Mountain Views * Patio * Pet Friendly (Dogs only)
Purgatory Resort is located between Silverton and Downtown Durango. Our condo is the perfect home base for exploring the Durango region year-round. It is a corner unit, so the balcony and patio offer some of the best views at the resort! It is nestled by a gorgeous 30’ waterfall and fragrant pines and is just a short 3-minute walk to the lifts, and only 2 minutes to the Purgatory Lodge and Plaza. The condo is on 2 levels and is very comfy for 2-6 guests but can accommodate up to 8. The main living area is a great place to relax and unwind after a long day of hitting the slopes or exploring all that Durango has to offer. Whether you are traveling with family, friends or planning a romantic getaway, you will not be disappointed with your stay here!

A smart TV is above the mantle on the stone fireplace. The entry area is tiled for removing boots and shoes, with direct access to one of the two full bathroom. The counter height dining table seats 8. The kitchen features a bottom freezer fridge, cabinets that are stocked with all the pots, pans, dishes, utensils, and accessories you need.

Downstairs Features (2.5 bedrooms and 1 full bathroom): All bedrooms are located downstairs where you’ll find 2 fully private bedrooms, 1 semi-private bunk area, 1 full bathroom, and a patio. All downstairs floors are distressed hickory. The small bunk area is at the foot of the stairs, separated by a curtain, and is well appointed for children with a window and a dresser. (The bottom bunk is sturdy enough for an adult if needed.) A hallway leads to the downstairs full bathroom with travertine floors and walls, wood ceilings and a tub/shower combo. (At this time, the jets in the tub are not working.) The 2 private bedrooms are at the opposite end of the hallway. The main bedroom has a Smart TV and features a full wall of windows leading to the patio. There is an electric fireplace to keep you warm as the floor heater does not work in this bedroom (rest assured; the electric fireplace does it's job!). There are also 2 small cots under the bed for extra sleeping. The 2nd queen bedroom has a 2X3' window full of views, new mattress replaced Summer 2025, a small walk-in closet with organizer, and a Smart TV.

Great location, right by the base. Also, right across the street from the Purgatory hotel with access to pool and hot tub.Kitchen was well stocked with utensils/pots/pans, as well as essential pantry items one might forget to bring.
Perfect location and cabin for Spring Break getaway. Very conveniently located to the Purgatory resort. Roomy and had great views. Very clean and well kept with all the amenities we needed.
Amazing views of the Needle Mountains and a great location right in the heart of Purgatory Resort. Everything was clean and in good shape. My husband and I had a great time, and when we had a question, Daphne was able to answer us quickly.
We had a great stay. All the checkin and checkout were super easy to understand. I typically message the host for something, but no need, highly recommended!!!
Stay Five Stars just steps away from Purgatory Ski base
Great, relaxing property literally steps away from the Purgatory Ski base area. Very functional living area on the ground floor, with views and a balcony that face the mountains. Bedrooms down were very comfortable. The walk to the ski lifts was 2 to 3 minutes at most. Would stay again!
Had a great stay. Short walk (up stairs, though) to lifts. Best appointed VRBO we have stayed in. Lots of room for guests, if needed. Comfy beds. Loved the wood fireplace, too.
We had a fantastic day! The condo is perfectly located right across the street from purgatory resort, making access incredibly convenient. There were high-end quality items throughout the condo, exceptionally clean, and well-maintained. The directions were clear, and communication with the host was prompt and accommodating! We absolutely will be back and highly recommend!
Wonderful place! My only surprise was the bunk space not being a room and you actually travel through it to get to the other rooms but this didn’t bother the teen boys. They had the best stocked kitchen out of any rental we’ve used! The living room was great with the three couches and very nice comfortable dining room table. Views and location were perfect! Host was very easy to get ahold of and responsive. Would definitely stay again.
Beautiful, very clean & well-stocked condo in a gorgeous setting. We especially enjoyed sitting/relaxing out on the balcony, listening to the waterfall & birds.
It was a bit difficult accessing the property info on my phone but once I reached out to the host, everything else was easy.
Would definitely return when we're in the area!!:-))
My wife and I have stayed at this property in the past. The condo is super clean with a wonderful mountain view and quick access to the resort base. It's a perfect rental for couples or a larger family with all the amenities of home. We highly recommend this property for your next visit to Purgatory...5 stars!
We had an amazing stay at this charming condo right at Purgatory Ski Resort! The location couldn’t be better—just steps from the ski lifts, shops, and restaurants, making everything incredibly convenient.The condo itself was spotless, comfortable, and thoughtfully decorated, creating a cozy mountain retreat. It was fully equipped with everything we needed, from a well-stocked kitchen to comfortable beds and plenty of extra amenities. After a long day on the slopes, it was the perfect place to relax and unwind.If you’re looking for a clean, comfortable, and well-appointed place to stay at Purgatory, this condo is a fantastic choice. We can’t wait to return!
Great location and very easy check in. We arrived early with our 3 kids and were able to get into the condo early. Amazing views and good selection of games. We especially enjoyed the cozy and comfortable beds. Most notably was the prompt response from the owner. We had a minor issue come up but the owner handled it in a very timely manner and was super friendly!
This place was the best! So convenient. Easy in and out. Mere steps to the slopes, Lodge, pool, and Purgy’s. The condo is supremely comfortable and well-stocked. It was perfect for our family of four and would suit a slightly larger group as well.
Stayed for a week over Christmas with our young-adult children. The condo was very convenient for access to the main ski lift as well as the Purgatory center and shops. As others have mentioned, the condo is extremely well equipped throughout, probably the best I've ever seen in a rental property. The beds were quite comfortable and the sitting/dining areas easily accommodated us all. Daphne, the owner, was also very responsive to any questions. Highly recommend this condo.
It was the perfect place for our family’s needs! You know the saying … location is everything! Skiing - swimming - hot tub and closeness to all the amenities right at Purgatory! Never had to drive … always walked! Daphne was a very gracious, understanding and helpful host! Wouldn’t hesitate to book again!
Great location and had everything we needed for our 3 day stay. We did find quite a few spiders the first day but I know some of that is expected in the mountains. All in all, it was roomy and had a great view of the stars at night. You can hear the waterfall right next to it but you can't see it. Thanks for letting our little family make some great memories!
The condo is very comfortable and allowed plenty of room for family and friends of six including a seven month old baby and dog. It had all of the amenities we needed and the view was absolutely stunning. The only downfall was the Keurig machine did not work, but other than that everything was fabulous. We would definitely reserve this condo again with additional family and friends.
Excellent location! Walk to lifts. We went in summer, so was excellent to walk to lifts for summer activities. House was very clean and well organized. Excellent communication with host. Would definitely stay here again. As a summer bonus- sitting out on the balcony we saw so many colorful birds and hummingbirds. I had no idea Colorado had such exotic birds! Also- the view was incredible!
