Our Black Bear townhome (Unit 86) is located directly across from Purgatory Ski Area and is a perfect base camp for your vacation no matter the season. The townhome features 3 bedrooms & 3 full baths & is the largest unit in the Black Bear complex. The gourmet kitchen with stainless-steel appliances includes a coffee bar as well as breakfast bar with seating and opens to the main living space and dining area. The townhome also features a gas grill, washer/dryer (laundry detergent provided) and a 2 car garage which contains a ping pong table. The master bedroom features a gas fireplace, deck with a gas firepit. The Master bath includes double sinks, a shower and a jacuzzi tub. Enjoy views of the ski slopes across Highway 550 from either deck.

The townhome is part of the resort so you have access to free on-demand shuttle service to Purgatory Ski Resort in winter but since it is across the highway you have the privacy and additional space a townhome affords. 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 and TV (2nd Floor)
2nd Bedroom-Queen and Bunk Bed (Single over Single) (2nd Floor)
3rd Bedroom-King (2nd Floor)

This home is pet friendly! We allow a maximum of 2 dogs max and the pet fee is $40/day (for a max $250 per stay).

The 4% resort fee included in the quote is the required resort fee that must be charged & does not allow access to the Durango Mountain Club. For an additional (and optional) 4% resort fee, you will have access to the Durango Mountain Club which includes an outdoor heated pool with slide, outdoor hot tub & workout facility. When booking, just advise if you would like us to add the additional 4% resort fee.

    We were very happy with the location and the home in general. It was well maintained, had a great floorplan with plenty of storage space, and had a well stocked kitchen which is rare for the rentals I have been in before. It also had plenty of seating in the main room for our group which was really nice. I was a little disappointed that they listed a shuttle as part of the rental which was not the case when we arrived. It ended up not being too much of an issue which is why I kept my rating high. We actually visited Durango this summer and were looking to purchase a place there and I loved the area.

    We were looking for a place to hike and explore in southwest Colorado and knew we wanted to go to Silverton and Ouray. We had our dog with us for the hikes so this pet friendly location was perfect for us. We even found great hikes right outside the front door on the Purgatory Creek Trail and at the Purgatory resort. This was a perfect location for us to get to our hiking destinations within 30 minutes to an hour.

The Management Company sent very informative and frequent texts. It was a great experience and one I will repeat.

    Overall, our stay was great - the property is across the street from Purgatory Resort and includes a shuttle service which was always punctual and very useful for making trips back & forth to ski. The property has a nice layout and was quite clean. Unfortunately, a couple of items were noticed that need some attention: 1. Upon arrival we turned on the oven to cook dinner and it was apparently not clean as it immediately started emitting smoke throughout the kitchen (note: smoke detectors did not go off either) 2. The second bedroom had a bed which was quite well used and soft, along with a bed cover that had holes in it 3. The fridge filter did not work 4. The internet had very low bandwidth and disconnected regularly The property management service was great as there were frequent and informative communications (emails, texts) on access, amenities, check-out procedure, etc. Again, overall it was a great stay, however it would have been much better had a number of updates been made to the home to improve the quality of the stay.

    Easy walk to purgatory across the street. Very cozy and great place to relax after a long day on the mountain.

Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: This home was perfect for our weekend ski trip. It was in the perfect location to quickly access the mountain (we could see the Columbine lift across the street from the window) and the on demand shuttle service was great if we didn’t want to walk across the road. The home itself was clean, comfortable, and roomy enough for our group. I would absolutely stay again.
