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.

This was a very nice townhouse directly across the street from Purgatory. There were wonderful day hikes right out the font door. The Management Company sent very informative and frequent texts. It was a great experience and one I will repeat.
3.0
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.

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.

Very nice house. Had everything we needed. Kitchen well stocked. Shuttle was extremely nice for everyone skiing at different times.

Our family of four stayed in this awesome unit for a recent ski trip to Purgatory. The unit is beautifully decorated and furnished with everything we could possibly have needed. The proximity to the ski resort, including on-demand shuttle access, enabled us to come and go as needed without having to drive in or worry about parking. We had lots of great snow during our stay, and our driveway was plowed every day. They really have thought of everything!

While the rest of the country was in a deep freeze, we were in perfect weather, sunny, low 40's, no wind! A couple of nitpicks, though (and this may be directed towards previous renters who don't care to get them fixed as well as the owners). There were several problems, none of which were showstoppers (fireplace pilot light was out, downstairs TV wasn't working correctly, some utensils were dirty, etc.). I know it would be difficult for the cleaners to know about the TV, but dirty spatulas, spoons, etc., should be checked by them.
The information on VRBO was accurate regarding access to the ski area. The shuttle was very quick since they weren't that busy. However, what the information doesn't show is that there is a maximum per day for using the shuttle. Also, walking across the highway was an option, especially for the snowboarders in there near-normal boots compared to skiers in their torture boots. Overall, we would definitely stay there again!
5.0
Place was nice and acceptably clean, especially for house that allows pets. Love the location because we like to fish mountain lakes and also ride Jeep trails, so was perfect for us. Our 19 year old son loved the ping pong table.
Love having 3 bathrooms! That’s a plus.
Kitchen was adequate for cooking. We cooked breakfast and supper daily. Longways from restaurants, so cooking is a must.
It’s noisy being on highway 550 during the day with the windows open. Hardly any traffic at night except few car so can leave windows open while sleeping.
It has extremely hard water and would recommend bringing own drinking water.
If looking for place to stay in mountains would recommend, it’s a nice place.

We absolutely love this house! It was spotless and so beautifully furnished! My kids loved the ping-pong table and walking to the nearby pond. Be sure and bring your small rafts to take advantage of the water! All basic essentials were provided. You will live the views and have no regrets staying here! Can’t wait to book our next trip! Also, if you have any concerns or questions the property managers are very quick to respond! Highly recommend!

This townhome was perfectly located and equipped with everything that you need. The heated garage was a bonus (and very nice when freezing outside)! It is along Hwy 550 but the road noise did not bother us at all. The fireplace was not working and maintenance showed up within an hour and had it working. I would definitely stay here again.

The property is in a great location. It was clean and nicely furnished. We cooked lot and enjoyed the great room and kitchen being open to each other. There were enough towels, shampoo etc for the four nights stay, although their was only one kitchen towel and no dish rag. We were very comfortable with a family of 6. Beds were comfortable and clean. On the negative side the fire place was not working and after two calls to maintenance who promised to fix it we gave up. The fireplace not working was quite a disappointment as in November it would have taken the chill off in the morning and the ambience was not as shown in the pictures. The appliances worked well except the dishwasher did not clean the dishes unless we scrubbed them before they went in the dishwasher. It’s probably time to replace it. We loved the area with the ski run right across the street and a pretty lake that we walked to. The kids played on the play structure by the lake and had a great time. Everyone played ping pong in the garage which was a lot of fun.
Management might want to do a walk through prior to renting the property to insure that everything is working correctly. We would stay at this property again.

Great Escape
This property is located right across for Purgatory ski resort (you can walk across the street to it) and about a 35-min drive into the town of Durango. The drive to the place is gorgeous along hwy 550.
The property itself is very clean, quiet, spacious, and has a well-stocked kitchen of all the supplies needed to cook meals. Check in and out was a breeze. The only downside is the fireplaces are turned off by Purgatory in the summer. No A/C but we kept the windows open, keeping the inside temps nice and cool.
We felt very safe here given the doors and garages are locked by codes. The place was cozy, clean and comfortable.
All in all, 5/5.

Amazing property with all the comforts of home! There is very well stocked kitchen which made cooking our dinners very easy! It is a convenient drive to Durango or Silverton! (We enjoyed both)! The road noise took one night to adjust to in the master bedroom, but it wasn’t a problem. The ping pong table was so much fun as well! It was the perfect stay for my family!

The property is located across the street from the Purgatory Ski area and is close to both Durango and Silverton. There is a wonderful path around a small lake and park within walking distance as well as a hiking trail...great for walking the dog.

There were quite a few repairs needed for this place, some were still outstanding when we left after 4 weeks. Close to the road so if the windows are open (need to in the summer because there is no AC), then traffic noise is pretty loud in the master bedroom and living room. On the plus side, it is just across the street from the Purgatory resort so close to those facilities and it is a short walk to Twilight lake and the trail down to Cascade creek.
