About this property

Pet Friendly Black Bear Townhome across from Purgatory - Views - Free Shuttle

Our 3 bedroom, 2.5 bathrooms townhome (Unit 67) is located directly across from Purgatory Resort and is a perfect basecamp for your vacation no matter the season. The gourmet kitchen with stainless steel appliances includes a bar with seating and opens to the main living space and dining area. Enjoy great views of the ski slopes at Purgatory from either deck.

The townhome home is part of the resort so you have access to free on-demand shuttle service to Purgatory Ski Resort but since it is across the highway you have the privacy and additional space a townhome affords (it’s part of a duplex). At 8,900 feet of elevation, the home is a gateway to an amazing winter playground and also serves as the perfect summer retreat, with a million acres of national forest land at your doorstep offering all your favorite mountain activities. It’s only a 2 minute walk to Twilight Lake for fishing and paddle boarding and as well as Purgatory Flats Trailhead, one of the most scenic hikes in the San Juan Mountains. Horseback riding, jeep trails, an alpine slide, epic mountain biking and the Purgatory Inferno Mountain Coaster are all less than 5 minutes from the home.

Bed Configuration:
Master Bedroom - King with Ensuite Bath (2nd Floor)
2nd - Queen and Twin with TV (2nd Floor)
3rd - Trundle Bed (2 Twins) (2nd floor)

Great pet friendly vacation home!

Even better in person than in its pictures! Very comfortable attractive home with balconies on both floors. Quiet neighborhood. Clean & well kept, everything worked. Well stocked with dishes & cookware. We enjoyed walking our dogs around the lake. Halfway in between Durango & Silverton, there was a lot to do in both places. We'd be happy to stay here again!

Black Bear Beautiful

Wonderful well-appointed and set-up condo. Love that it is the 2nd street up from the highway (more quiet, although there is construction across Tourmaline). Little amenity kits were nice/thouhtful. Close to hikes (Purgatory Creek is two blocks down, and managed running path around the pond. Lot's of wildlife viewing in July - muskrats, ducks and ducklings, snakes, horned-lizards, many bird species, elk, deer, and bear. Striking distance to Molas Pass & lakes, and to Silverton. Much to do at Purgatory if you want a more "urban" experience. Great place to stay.

Colorado trip

We loved the area & view. It was furnished quite well. It was a bit warmer than expected & would have liked to have had air conditioning, but understood it isn’t usually common to be that warm & to require it. We enjoyed our stay. 😊

Great experience

We loved the condo it was beautiful. It did not have an ac but we found a fan and slept with the windows open. The only complaint, they were doing construction all week. We woke up to heavy machinery running early every morning.

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was very clean. I was very happy with the location. I was very satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: Good overall. Construction was using explosives to blast the mountain next door. Owner/HOA should have warned me in advance. Explosives were used for several days with no warning.

It was good

No places to eat. 35 min to Durango. Every place we called was closed. There wasn't a good view from the deck. The dish washer needs to be cleaned. The dishes and silverware had to much calcium build up. Other then that it was a nice place to stay. The house was cozy.

New Years delight!

We enjoyed spending five days at this property over New Years. The property was well kept, convenient and overall a great place for the six of us to stay. The snow was heavy so the free shuttle to/from Purgatory was great. It was the easiest way to travel. A few bummers...the trundle bedroom was quite small and the "hard water" causes a film on the dishes after each wash. A water softener throughout would be ideal. The pillows were a bit used and fairly thin...not much option. Otherwise, we have zero complaints and would definitely stay there again. Thanks for a great week.

Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: Overall was very good, there were a few issues that were not fixed while we were there. The oven did not work properly so we had to borrow from a friend staying close by. This was big inconvenience. Also upstairs fireplace not working. Needed blinds on downstairs windows.

Pretty good but not perfect

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was very clean. I was very happy with the location. I was more than satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: Overall the condo is very nice and the kitchen came well stocked. However when we got there the furnace was off I had to figure out or we would have froze the 1st night. The main fireplace also didn’t stay on so I kept having to restart the pilot light, sometimes 3 or 4 times just to get it to stay on. The wireless network didn’t exist either so we had to call the cable guy who told us it had reverted back to its original settings due to a power outage. Like I said, a little too much work for me on vacation. Also make sure you ask about paying the fee to use the amenities at Purg because nobody ever told me that was an option. We would’ve used the hot tub and gym had we known we could’ve paid for that option.

Great time in Purgatory

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was very happy with the location. I was very satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: The unit was brand new and we had everything we needed. The transportation system was really efficient. It was simple to get around. The hot tubs are a transfer away, but the master bathroom has an awesome jetted tub so that did the trick. Purgatory in general is a great value. The newly renovated hot springs are a short drive from the property and they are wonderful.
