Amazing vacation home close to lake purgatory

Our family of 6 spent a summer month at the Lake Purgatory Family Lodge and had a wonderful time. The house is quite large and has a well stocked kitchen for cooking and an amazing hot tub. The location is about 7 minutes from the highway, and is about a half hour from Durango and 40 minutes from Silverton, with some great hiking trails about 10 minutes away. We had a great time exploring the area and would highly recommend it as well as this wonderful home.

Amazing place!

We enjoyed our stay at this house. It is beautiful, clean and well laid out. It is very close to Purgatory (about 5-10 mins up the mountain) and a quick 25-30 min drive into Durango. You will definitely need an appropriate car to get in and out of neighborhood when there is snow. Road in is narrow at points, hilly and not paved. The house is in a beautiful location with lots of scenery and a great view out the living room window. It is a quiet neighborhood, which we appreciated. We had 8 people in our group and were very comfortable in this house. We would definitely stay at this house again. It would be a great place any time of year!

Great Mountain Stay!

We stayed with two families with 6 kids ages 4 to 11. There was lots of space, sleds, and tons of firewood available. Check in was super easy (though I recommend arriving during the day). We got there right after the sun set and it was pretty dark. The place was very well stocked with pots, pans, cups, and misc. leftover cooking supplies. There were tons and tons of blankets, towels, sheets, and pillows. The radiant heat on the floors was awesome. The internet was typical for the mountains--works, but slowly. We were able to stream music for most of our weekend without any issues. It is built literally on the mountainside. The kids loved playing in the snow and climbing around on the rocks on the hill. We drove one day down to the entrance of the community and played on the frozen creek. 4-wheel drive is an absolute must in the winter time. The final roads to the home are dirt and there are lots of hills. We really enjoyed ourselves and would recommend it!

Mardi Gras Ski Vacation

House was great. Plenty room. Upon arrival , snow on deck. Day after arrived it was cleared. Hot tub great! Need 4 wheel drive/ all wheel to drive safely to house and to access home. Response of rental company to questions was quick. We had trouble regulating temperature at night- too hot at times. Overall - great stay and close to skiing.

Beautiful House in a Wonderful location

The house was beautiful and the check-in process was very easy.The location was fantastic. We enjoyed the outdoor Jacuzzi and the scenic views from the house.There were lots of towels and blankets provided. The outdoor patio chairs,Sofa’s and glass table was all kept inside the garage and me and my friends have to spent an hour of time to arrange and set the furniture in the patio.The grill was not fully cleaned and can see few small pieces of meat leftovers.But overall we enjoyed the stay and we all loved the place…..

The home is set in a winter wonderland. There were 8 adults and 3 children in our group and there was plenty of space to accommodate everyone. With a well appointed kitchen, two separate living areas, comfortable seating, and Purgatory Resort across the street this home is your perfect winter vacation spot.

Exactly As Listed

Our family (w/ 3 children under 6) stayed for a week and the property was exactly as we had hoped. The house was very clean, extremely well stocked even down to high chair, and better than pictured. Highly recommend this home as there is also some great national forest land directly behind the property for exploring.

Great house close to skiing!

This was a wonderful house for 2 families to stay over Spring Break. We appreciated that two of the bedrooms has an en suite bathroom for the 2 adult couples. The double dishwashers were also a hit. Plenty of space for adults and children alike. Less than 10 minutes from the house to Purgatory ski resort. It was a great stay, great Spring Break, and we hope to be back! We loved our upscale dinner at Sow’s Ear if you’re looking for a rec. Note, 4WD is most definitely needed when there is snow on the ground. It’s a muddy and bumpy drive in and out of the neighborhood.

Beautiful secluded retreat

The house was beautiful and well stocked. It was secluded enough that you didn’t feel like there were other people around at all. It was exactly what we were looking for when we decided to stay in a house in the mountains for the weekend. With the snow on the property was gorgeous! It was also an added perk that they had a high chair and play pen available for our little one. Cell service and WiFi was spotty but it was to be expected with the location and winter storms. It helped us relax and disconnect from everything. We couldn’t get the code for the garage door to work but that was no big deal we just walked around to the front and the code for that door worked. Overall all it was exactly what we were expecting and we were more than happy with everything. Would love to come back and stay here again!
