Great location and beautiful property

The house was great and had all the items we needed while we were there. It was a short drive to the ski slopes. The beds were comfy. We cooked most of the time while we were there and we liked how they had all the cooking utensils we needed and that they had condiments like salt and pepper to use for our meals. We enjoyed lighting the wood burning fireplace and hanging out after skiing. The only thing we didn't like was the hot tub was a little dirty and had debris floating around. The owner was very easy to communicate with and helpful. We would definitely stay there again.

Beautiful location and house with great amenities!

The house is only minutes away from Purgatory ski slopes, and the views are stunningly beautiful. Beds were very comfortable. We loved using the sauna, the hot tub, firepit, fireplaces and pool table. The kitchen was well-appointed and had some of the basics in the pantry (S&P, EVOO, spices, etc...). The large dining table worked well and allowed us to eat all together (6 adults and 5 teens/kids). All 3 of our cars were AWD or 4WD, but when the snow/ice got bad, only the car with chains could make it in/out of the driveway. The road to the house is VERY slow going in the snow, so even though Purgatory is super close, it can take 15 minutes to get down the road. Overall - Great house for a large group!

Winter Wonderland

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was very happy with the location. I was very satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: We timed our winter trip as perfect as the stay was at this home! Started snowing day 1 and didn't stop hardly at all for the next 10 days. The house was exactly as described - actually, better - multi level and extremely spacious for our family of 6. We had all the comforts of home and then some - sauna, hot tub, pool table to name a few! Enjoyed so many features of a well-stocked house; huge kitchen/dining for cooking meals - loved grilling on the back deck and all the seating for tired skiers to lounge by the living room fireplace in the evenings not to mention the large bedrooms and comfy matresses.During the stay, the management team was on top of it - with the snow storm we mentioned firewood was running a little low one afternoon and by the next morning the entire cord was filled for us. We also had messages checking on us when we arrived as well as during the stay. Top notch customer service. Lastly, the location - if you're not at the resort itself - this is about as close as it gets. Coming out of the neighborhood to the main highway we could see the ski resort entrance - it made driving to/from Purgatory quick and easy (well... easy in winter as long as you have 4WD like it states very clearly for the property!) All in all one of our best stays at Purg - we can't thank Keith and all of his VRC team enough for their hospitality - LOVED IT!

Beautiful Home!

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was happy with the location. I was very satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: Beautiful home with amazing views! Love the layout! Master bath is amazing! Family area very comfortable. It is at least 35 min from Durango so be prepared to be on the road a lot if you aren’t into cooking on vacation. I had read the reviews from last October so I knew there might be a fly problem and there definitely was. The property manager was very helpful though and brought fly swatters and sticky pads. Apparently the flies are bad from Oct-November. They appear in the afternoon on the windows when the sun is out and disappear when the sun goes down. Thankfully they stay around the windows.I was a bit surprised that we were expected to start a load of towels before we left as well as start the dishwasher and clean out the refrigerator. Trash has to be hauled to the main road. All in all we enjoyed this property and all it has to offer.

Great cabin in the woods

Our family had a nice time here and the location was perfect next to Purgatory. The road got blocked one night due to the snow causing a driver’s vehicle to slide, but we were able to pass within an hour. Definitely make sure you have all wheel drive for the winter. The microwave didn’t work when we arrived, but the host was easy to work with and someone came to check and fix it right away. Overall, a beautiful place in the woods that felt remote, but was relatively close to everything we needed.

Amazing views!

The property has the most amazing views, we can only imagine how beautiful it would be with snow covering those pines. The house is comfortable for all ages but note there are 4 floors( lots of steps). Baby gates were at the home which helped in keeping 1 year old on main level. The kitchen was well stocked and perfect for family dinners and dining area worked well for family game night. Unfortunately, fire restrictions were in effect so we were unable to have outdoor bon fires, Mother Nature can’t be controlled. All in all, we loved property and would stay again.

My wife, five kids and me stayed here and loved it. Beautiful area. The house itself was better than I thought it would be. The kitchen had more cookware, etc. than any other place than we've stayed. First floor pool table was perfect for occupying the kids and giving the adults some quiet time on the second floor.

Best winter getaway

I can’t rave enough about this amazing property!! I had to book this house as a back up to my original stay and I’m so glad I had to because this house is a quite the gem along the lake near purgatory resort! The hosts were amazing from in depth details for everything you’d need during your stay to local recommendations to indulge in. We opted in to staying in and cooking and this house came equipped with every utensil needed to cook a full spread for every meal! The house itself is a statement, it is so beautifully decorated and makes you feel right at home. The hot tub and sauna were amazing after long days on the slopes and snowmobiling. Already talking about coming back later this year with another group that’s how amazing this property was, communication with the owner was astounding they were able to help us with any matter that came to hand. Thank y’all for such an amazing experience!

Perfect family Escape

We stayed here the week before Christmas. We had 4 adult couples and 7 kids (5-13yo). We slept comfortably, there was plenty of space to gather, but also room to avoid feeling crowded. Kitchen is well stocked, bathrooms are nice a spacious, beds comfortable. Would definitely recommend to friends and family.
