Perfect ski spot

Great home with lots of space. They included additional amentities which is a big deal to me. Never needed extra paper products, soaps, even laundry detergent and dryer sheets were there. Took us about 5 minutes to get to mountain for skiing. I do suggest you stop in durango at walmart for food if you dont plan on going into town. Heating was a bit hard to get a hang of being from Texas. Took a while to get warm then house was super warm and needed to be adjusted. No humidifiers in the home if thats important to you. House was adorably decorated for Christmas. That was super special to us as our elves had lots of places to hide for the kids each night. Garage was available for vehicle but didnt use it. I would highly recommend!!!

Great winter stay for skiing at Purg!

Our family enjoyed our stay very much. Communication was quick to respond during the stay. The property is just a couple minutes from the parking lots at Purgatory. Lots of snow around the home for our kids to play in and explore. We will consider staying here again. :-)

Great Durango Vacation

This was a wonderful property outside of Durango. The views are amazing and the property was clean and as advertised! I would certainly recommend this property to anyone! We had a slight hiccup at check in, but was on the phone with the owner within 10min getting everything squared away. Great communication with any property owner is key and it was just that with Jenny!!!

Beautiful views, beautiful house

Even more lovely in person than photos show! Great location for my family to celebrate Thanksgiving together. My mobility impaired mother, who can walk some but uses a wheelchair most of the time, was able to get around the house. There are 2 steps up to each door, including the garage door, but if you can manage that, the floors are all tile or wood and it is single story. Holiday decorations were so cheerful. Hot tub was clean and warm. It takes time to heat initially but then stayed hot the whole trip. Only fits 4 as advertised. Lots of towels for hot tub. Beds are the memory foam type in case that matters to you. Owners are responsive and super nice. Short drive to Durango or Purgatory. We lucked out and had some snow for our stay which was such fun. House was warm and cozy. You can tell it is a home because of various little conveniences like towel hooks, well stocked kitchen, streaming channels, good Wifi, generous supply of soaps, etc. Having room for two cars in the garage was a nice bonus in the winter. Highly recommend.

About the host

Hosted by Jenny

I have dreamt of living in the Durango Rocky Mountains for yrs. It was time to make that dream come true. I now get a home to share with other that enjoy the outdoors and hope that you feel at peace like I do in this home. Unfortunately, I am not able to do it full-time so plan to spend as much time as I can enjoying a life of balance between Phoenix,AZ and Durango and share special moments with my children. I have traveled around the world staying at vacation rentals and know exactly what I would want in a space.

Why they chose this property

It is much easier to get to than other mountain properties, 2 miles from skiing, walking distance to small market and also the "Old School House" pizza/bar open to all ages and has a shuffle board and a Pool Table. One mile north of the home is a great hang-out for all ages called the Nugget. They have gas fire-pits with chairs wrapped around. They have live music on Saturday during summer and my boy never wants to leave once we are there. Feel free to take your own marshmallows and sticks to roast. They have a great hangout bar and a food truck with healthy and unhealthy food options.

There are all kinds of activities around. Two miles north there is a small lake where you can rent paddle boards, canoes, kayak, and small paddle boats. There is a beautiful trail head that you can walk to from the home called 'Castle Rock'

What makes this property unique

Radiant in floor heating system, high speed internet 40m/5m for those that need to work remotely. Keep in mind we are 9000 ft elevation and get a lot of snow so there are times that internet due to weather is down. We do have a back-up option with guest going to the lobby of Purgatory Sky Resort. I have a horse stall (unused) and 5 acres for those who want to travel with their horses. Trailhead from home is horse friendly. I am also a pet lover so house trained dogs allowed.
