Our 1200 Sq ft, 3 bedroom, 3 bath, custom home was completely remodeled in 2013 and offers the most privacy and seclusion of any property near Purgatory as it sits on 132 acres, yet is less then 2 miles from the ski resort and 25 miles from downtown Durango. VRBO Listing 716605 is also on the property (1/4 mile away) and features 2 bedrooms, 2 baths, and sleeps 6, if your group is bigger than our 3 bedroom alone can accommodate.

The kitchen is outfitted with stainless steel appliancesand granite countertops. The main living space features a 46 inch flat screen TV and wood burning fireplace (wood provided).

The master bedroom has a king size bed, the other two bedrooms both have queen beds.

The property borders the Weminuche national Forest on the North and East, which is the largest and most unused wilderness area in the continental U.S. Their are numerous lakes and ponds on the property, and a road to higher elevations where the views of the surrounding mountains and lakes are spectacular. It is common to see bear, deer, elk, big horn sheep, snow shoe hares, ducks, geese, turkey, coyote, marmot, and the occasional mountain lion or moose. All of the pictures in the listing were taken from the property.

A 4WD/AWD with good tires is required December through March. If you plan to drive a vehicle not so equipped, please book elsewhere. Although the roads are extremely well maintained, we want to ensure our neighbors are not adversely impacted by our guests who may not regularly drive on snow packed roads.

Lastly, we love dogs, and they are totally welcome as long as they are well behaved and get along with people and other dogs. Lucy runs free on the property.

    Everything was absolutely perfect and all expectations (which were set pretty high) met. The excellent covered porch, quiet solitude to enjoy nature, loads of firewood ready to use, walking trails and outstanding/thorough access and instructions made this the perfect vacation stay. Many Thanks to the owner (Sean) for thinking ahead to meet a clients needs and wants.

    The location was great. The cabin was perfect for us and our adult children, with 3 beds and 3 baths and a nice, well equipped kitchen. The setting was beautiful and we enjoyed the big front porch.

    Beautiful cabin on beautiful land. Cabin was spotlessly clean, with comfortable beds and a well equipoed, well organized kitchen. The covered porch is perfect for peacefully reading a book or just watching nature. Lots of excellent hiking trails nearby. I will very likely stay here again. My dog & I had a great time.

    Loved this house and location. If you want luxury in a secluded house with views out of every window and serenity at your door step this is the place for you. The only car driving to your house will be your own. Sean The host is available for assistance at anytime and is a great host. My dog loved the place too.

    Me and my family had a wonderful time over Christmas break staying at Sean’s cabin. Sean gave us great directions to the cabin. We had no problems finding or getting in the cabin. It was very clean and the beds were comfortable! The views were gorgeous all around the cabin. It had snowed the day prior to our arrival. We definitely needed 4 wheel drive to get down the road that leads to the cabin. We enjoyed sitting around the fire at night and playing games at the kitchen table. My family went to the slopes at Purgatory daily. Durango is a short drive away with many excellent restaurants.

    The cabin was exactually as advertised. It was located well off the highway on a dirt road which had some steep hills with ice. A fwd was required to get to the cabin. The cabin was fully equipped with everything we required. It was spotlessly clean. There was a small problem with the heater which Sean took care of immediately. We had five deer in the yard. We were far enough in the back country that we did not hear any other people during our stay. Recommend highly.

    Used as a base camp for a family wedding, very convenient, easy to get to, only 1.8~2.0 miles from SH550. Close yet remote, no cars driving by. Everything you need is right where need them.

    The cabin was everything we wanted, seclusion, views, space for us and our dog to roam, and proximity to the amazing trails in the San Juans. We also met multiple neighbors who were incredibly friendly and welcoming. We will absolutely be staying at this property again in the future.

    We chose this property because of its proximity to Silverton and many of the surrounding 4x4 trails. With 3 dogs in tow this made for a perfect home base. The property is large and well behaved dogs are free to roam.

    Perfect cabin for our family getaway. Close enough to Durango for dinners or the hot springs. But close to Silverton and Ouray for hikes and excursions. Love how secluded and private the location is. Simple and rustic enough to feel like you are in the woods and away from it but good wifi and able to check on the Olympics when we got back from hiking. Will definitely be back!

    The property is nestled in a secluded location within in minutes of Purgatory. Easy access, great mountain hikes around the property and the view and quietness was absolutely what we all needed! House was clean, spacious and each room has its own bathroom which everyone loved! The owner was communicative and assisted us when I called with a minor inconvenience. You will love the gorgeous mountains and if you are looking for seclusion this is it!

    This year, my partner and I traveled with three of our grandchildren. We needed at least two bathrooms and three bedrooms. This house hit the mark. Each bedroom had an attached full bathroom, which gave everyone room and time to prepare for the day out in the beautiful San Juan mountains. It was very quiet and had all the conveniences we needed for our lodging. The views of the mountains from our cabin's wrap around porch were breathtaking. I would highly recommend this home if you are a looking for beautiful views, mountain living and hiking areas at your fingertips. This cabin is the place for you!!
