Durango, Colorado holds the beauty of a vanished world. It is the most tranquil place mixed with history, recreation, and unerasable memories. Our 2600+ square foot custom home is nestled in the mountains overlooking beautiful Lake Purgatory. The brilliance of Engineer and Spud Mountain can be seen to the North, and to the East the Animas River which flows through the La Plata Mountains.
The home was created by the hands of a master with each window intricately creating a new view of the lake. Giant doors lead you onto a deck where you'll find a hot tub that you can soak in after your daily activities. At night the sky is so black, you'll feel like you're sitting under an umbrella of stars. The night is so peaceful you can hear the fish in the water. You'll be located at an elevation of 9000 feet somewhere in the vicinity of the gods. The interior is very comfortable with all luxurious amenities that will connect you back to the real world. Now that you've found the perfect place to visit, look no further for a place to stay.
You can walk out and fish for brook trout in the backyard. We have a canoe you can take out to fish the lake. It is a private lake so you won't see many others. Summer is the busy season in Durango, you can ride the train, hike, bike, bobsled at the ski area across the street, horseback riding, gold panning or rest and read a book. We are 26 miles north of Durango. If you have any questions please feel free to call. Experience Durango, Colorado.

We stayed over Thanksgiving week. We arrived at night so imagine our surprise whenw e woke up int he morning to the gorgeous lake frozen over with snow on the ground! The house is spacious and has everything you oculd think of! Location is fantastic -- close enough to the sights but still secluded enough to be a vacation. Owner was great and everything was smooth and easy! I have already recommended it to others.
Recommended for:Girls getaway, families with teenagers, age 55+, sightseeing, families with young children.
Excellent Family Vacation

The Lake Purgatory Lodge is a beautiful and comfortable home in the mountains above Durango. The description and pictures are accurate. This was our first stay at Lake Purgatory, but our second trip to Durango. Both trips were fun, but, this one stood out. In addition to all the great things we did around Durango, we stayed on property a couple of days and just relaxed. The entire family caught fish and enjoyed the wonderful nature around the property. We actually caught over 80 fish, but used barbless hooks, so we were able to safely release all but 3 brook trout. They tasted great! We especially enjoyed using the canoe, row boat and paddle boat. There’s a beaver lodge on the lake and we watched the activity from the beaver throughout our trip. The house has a nice deck with gas grill and a hot tub that allowed us to enjoy while watching the kids. Marcia was easy to deal with and we look forward to our next stay
Owner response:Many of the families enjoy their stay and treat it as their own home for future visits. We have one family that wants to go to Grandma's lake house. They come back every summer. Family memories are made here.
Recommended for:Girls getaway, families with teenagers, adventure seekers, romantic getaway, age 55+, people with disabilities, sightseeing, families with young children.
