Slope Side Retreat next to the Waterfall w/ Grand Mountain Views!

Slope Side * Patio * Newly Remodeled Balcony * BBQ * 1274 sq ft * 2.5 Bedrooms * 2 Full Baths * Fireplace * Spectacular Needles Mountain Views * 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 have 3 full sides open, offering impressive Needles Mountain and Twilight Lakes views! 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 travelling with family, friends or planning a romantic getaway, you will not be disappointed with your stay here!

Upstairs Features:
The upstairs is the entry and main living level. The living room has a wood burning fireplace, leather sofa and loveseat, chair & ottoman, and a queen sleeper sofa in front of windows that show off the magnificent mountain views. A smart TV is above the mantle on the stone fireplace. The entry area is tiled for removing boots and shoes, with easy access to the beautiful gold travertine 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. There is a standard Keurig available, as well as a Cuisinart drip coffee maker, and a crock pot. The balcony is on the main level, has seating for 4 and a Weber BBQ.

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; we are trying to get these fixed just as soon as possible.) 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 which has a swing for two. 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, a Stearns & Foster pillow-top mattress, a small walk-in closet with organizer, and a Smart TV.

Building and Parking:
There are no buildings that block our spectacular views. The building has a covered courtyard entrance (recessed about 14 steps down from street level), with a picnic table, plenty of firewood and a private ski locker. The building facades recently received a warm exterior make-over, with stack stone corner columns and distressed metal surround. Parking is right in front of the building (and directly across from Purgatory Lodge) for one vehicle, additional vehicles park in open ski parking.

Resort Amenities:
Purgatory Resort’s amenities include an outdoor heated pool w/ slide, hot tubs and fitness center which are located in the Lodge across the street. There will be an additional fee of $30/night should you choose to take advantage of these.

Excellent house and location
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!

Great views
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!

Perfect for our Family of 4
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!

Wonderful Getaway
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!!:-))

Convenient Well-stocked Condo
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.

Beautiful Lovation
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.

We brought our mini Aussie with us on this trip. Daphne has the condo perfectly appointed with everything we could possibly need!! We truly felt at home, grilled ribs one night, loved the option of brewing a pot of coffee or KCups. Tucker loved the deck, and so did we. Coffee in the morning and wine in the evening ❤️

We had a great time exploring Durango, Silverton, and Ouray from this as our home base. The rental was well-stocked and had nice touches like a pack n play, throw blankets, games, DVDs, and citronella candles. Would love to come back in the winter to ski!

Beautiful View
Pros: beautiful views, close to the chair lift, stocked kitchen, comfortable beds, covers all the needs, good communication with the owner. Cons: The place really needs a good cleaning. Mildew/mold in downstairs shower, dried drop of conditioner in upstairs shower, balls of dust/hair/dirt next to baseboards, underneath the couches is gross—like no one has vacuumed under there in ages and we could see it all from the other couches. The floor is invisibly disgusting. After walking around for less than 2 hrs, my daughter’s bare feet were black with grime. We all made sure we had socks on after that, and those socks are now ruined, not a huge deal though. I’d read a previous review stating this, but had already booked and hoped they took care of the problem. It’s a nice place! But it needs a real deep clean. I couldn’t fully relax because i didn’t feel comfortable. Sinking into one of the couches, I felt something poking my arm. I look down and see TONS of crumbs from where people/kids have eaten on the couch for a long time. Wouldn’t stay here again, but if this kind of stuff doesn’t bother you, then you really will love it. I’m just a clean freak unfortunately.

Beautiful area
Great little condo in a great location, my biggest complaint is the cleanliness…the floors were very dirty (walking around with just socks my socks would be black by the end of the day), furniture was dusty, dishes didn't seem clean when pulling them out from the cabinets. Overall, we enjoyed our stay and would stay again. The area is beautiful, amenities are nice, check-in/out processes were easy, just wish it had been cleaner.
