Ski In, Ski Out! Cozy Mountainside Townhome at Purgatory Resort - Edelweiss #7

Ski season is here, and your winter or spring break getaway is clean and ready for you at Purgatory Resort in Durango, Colorado! Our beautifully furnished condo is the ultimate ski in, ski out experience! We now have a brand new, expanded back patio as of Fall 2020! Pop those skis off and take a break on our brand new, expanded deck before getting back out there for a few more runs!

At Edelweiss #7, you're walking distance from the Purgatory Resort Village, where you can enjoy summer and fall activities including the Alpine Slide and the new Inferno Coaster! If mountain biking is more your speed, you can easily bike down to the chairlifts and uplift to the top of the mountain!

For some more casual summer and fall fun, there are plenty of hiking trails that you can access just by walking out the door, and even more within a few minutes driving distance. At Purgatory Resort, we're just up the mountain from historic Downtown Durango where you can enjoy shopping and fine dining.

During your stay, try out a day trip to the charming Silverton, Colorado, a former mining camp with plenty of history or Animas Forks, a ghost town which was one of the highest mining camps in the U.S. For the real history buffs, you'll be able to make a day trip to Mesa Verde, an ancestral home of the Pueblo people who made their homes in the sides of the cliffs at this truly spectacular archeological site.

As far as accommodations go, our unit comfortably sleeps 9 guests, assuming the king and queen beds are being shared. The downstairs master bedroom has a king sized bed, with another king sized bed in our first upstairs guest room. The second upstairs guest room has a queen bed, and there are two more twin beds in the upstairs loft perfect for the kids!

The newly renovated kitchen is well stocked with cutlery, cookware, and new appliances including a dishwasher, refrigerator, microwave, and electric stove and cooktop. We even have a Crockpot and a Keurig mini, which were some special requests from some previous guests. For real coffee experts, we have a standard coffee pot available as well.

My brother and I (the owners) want to make your experience as comfortable as possible, so if there is something that you need that isn't shown as part of the listing, please don't hesitate to contact us directly through VRBO - we are happy to order anything from Pack-n-Play's to large casserole dishes to make your stay that much easier.

There's plenty to do at Purgatory Resort and in Durango, and memories to be made. If it's your first time visiting the area or if you've been coming to Durango for decades, when you stay at Edelweiss #7 you'll be part of the Edelweiss family! We look forward to seeing you in the mountains!

In the summer and fall the slope side location gives you a scenic view of the aspen woods behind the Edelweiss complex. Be on the lookout for wildlife, and even some mountain bikers coming through the trails in the woods behind the property!


FAQs:

Do you have access to the pool at the resort
No, we are not members of the club at the resort so we do not have access to the amenities down at the lodge.

Do you have an outdoor grill
Due to the high risk of wildfires in the area, we have opted to not have an outdoor grill.

Many properties say they are ski in, ski out. Are you actually on the ski slope
Yes! This is the beauty of this property. You are steps away from the actual ski slope, and when the trails are open you are able to walk a few steps onto the mountain, put on your skis, and go directly down to the lift. You can also ski back around to the condo, no walking required!
