About this property

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.

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!

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!

Best Kitchen!

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.

Comfortable and convenient

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.

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!!:-))

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!
