Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: This was my family's second trip staying in this Purgatory neighbhorhood. We love the location that is close to many great hikes and day trip to Silverton and Durango.The home was comfortable and the perfect place for our family to relax. We had room for cousins to join us at different points in the trip and they all enjoyed the bunk room and making memories exploring in the backyard. The house had plenty of storage and helpful shoe storage by the front door, mudroom bench with several hooks for the many bags and hats we used on the trip. And one of my favorite touches was Elfa closet in the primary downstairs room. The beds were comfortable and we spent a lot of time on the upstairs covered patio. We have stayed in other homes that just had an open patio but it was too hot / sunny to use in the afternoon. The covered one upstairs was our family's favorite spot in the house to hang out, play games, read books and enjoy the views of Castle Rock. The rental company was very responsive with the view questions and help items that we needed through text.

The kitchen was fully stocked with all the things you would need (plus some extra seasonings in the pantry). The layout of the house was great for our family - king bedroom with bath and laundry downstairs and king bedroom, bunk room, full bath, and kid hangout area upstairs. The beds were comfy and the home was very clean. VRC was easy to communicate with and we would stay in this home again! We loved the location being close to Purgatory and the cooler temps from being higher up!

Perfect location. We were very happy and comfortable. Beautiful house and the amenities were amazing. I love that they had individual soap,lotion and cleaning supplies. We would definitely stay here again. We can’t say enough good things about it.

We spent Spring Break 2025 at this beautiful home as 2 adults and two elementary aged kids and it was a lovely stay. The house is in an amazing location where you have the best of both worlds, directly across from Purgatory but nestled in a private neighborhood with beautiful views. The windows throughout the house let in gorgeous natural light. It felt very private the entire time we were there, like you’re in your own private cabin in the woods, with views of the peaks from the back and side of the house. Kitchen is well stocked for everything you need for cooking and serving. Firewood is plenty and stocked. Main patio is awesome right off of the living room. Beds are super comfortable. Just a great place for families or couples. Be advised, a 4 wheel drive vehicle is an absolute necessity, especially during the snow months, even in the Spring. We had to put ours in 4 wheel drive driving into the neighborhood to get to the house almost the entire time we were there in March 2025. The reason for 4 stars instead of 5: As wonderful as our stay was, we were disappointed to find that we could not use the upstairs patio during our entire stay as the outdoor fireplace was Out of Order, Locked. I had inquired about the workability of both fireplaces prior to us arriving and the management company mentioned nothing about the outdoor patio fireplace being out of order and offered nothing to compensate for it, which is unusual, as management knew of the issue prior to our arrival.

My husband and live on an Oklahoma ranch located on dead-end road and our nearest neighbor is a half-mile away. We have a lovely view of the Wichita Mountains and are surrounded by trees on a quiet, secluded creek. Therefore, I am rather particular when I chose to leave our ranch and stay away from home for any length of time. This property checked all my boxes and I held my breath as I booked it. It most certainly did not disappoint! It was secluded, quiet, had gorgeous views of mountains and trees, and was extraordinarily clean for a vacation rental. The furnishings, kitchen appliances, and housewares were high-end and more than adequate for all our needs. The homes is spacious, has a nice lay-out, and boasts two lovely relaxing balconies for enjoying the fresh mountain air. All communication from booking to checking in and checking out was quick and easy. This property is just a short drive approximately 20 miles from Durango in the south and a short lovely drive north will get you to the quaint mountain towns of Silverton and then Ouray for fun shopping and dining. It was just a perfect retreat in every way and I am so glad I booked it.

Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: We loved making the Castle Rock retreat our home base for our 8 nights of early fall hiking near Durango. The location is terrific - up in the mountains, crisp air (10-20 degrees cooler than Durango proper thanks to the elevation), privacy, quiet, serenity. As always with VRC rentals, the house is well stocked with nearly everything you need. The furniture and the beds are comfortable. You feel far away from the world, but you're a 30 minute drive from downtown Durango's restaurants and shops and maybe 20 minutes from the outdoor adventuring and mountain life to be found in Silverton. For skiers, your just across 550 from the entrance to Purgatory. And if all you want to do is stay at home and enjoy views and mountain air, this home is perfect for that too. You're 5 minutes from the Nugget Mountain Bar and a short drive from James Ranch Market & Grill as well as the Olde Schoolhouse for outstanding pizza and beer (really, you need to try this pizza). Also Durango Hot Springs, which has just opened a new, top notch spa. We encourage hikers to do the Castle Rock via Elbert Creek Road Trail hike (see AllTrails), which will put you on top of the cliff you look at from the home's back deck - with binoculars or even the zoom on your iPhone, you can even find the house from the peak of Castle Rock. Enjoy!

Summer access is no problem in sedan. Very beautiful serene setting.
