The city of Durango and Durango Mountain Resort in southwest Colorado is an area devoted to an active outdoor lifestyle. Nestled in the San Juan National Forest, this western town is where the high desert meets the high alpine.

Blackjack Lodge sits atop sloping cliffs overlooking Lake Purgatory, with sweeping views of the Hermosa Cliffs, Spud, Engineer and Needles Mountains from its large picture windows. Surrounded by groves of pine and aspen trees, it affords complete privacy, though conveniently located just one mile south of Durango Mountain Resort.

The large, open-plan family room has stunning views, a massive wood burning, sandstone fireplace and state-of-the-art entertainment complete with Sony 51" Surround Sound TV, DVD/CD, VCR and Stereo. A second family room with 2-Twin Trundle Bed, TV, DVD and a regulation-size billiard table is located in the basement, adjacent to the fourth bedroom which is outfitted with two sets of bunk beds and the location makes it an ideal room for the kids.

A wonderful bonus after a day of outdoor activities is the new Hot Springs Spa 6 person hot tub on the covered deck. Luxuriate in its soothing warmth while taking in the stunning lake and mountain views and cool, clean mountain air. At night, the stars seem almost touchable.

Our home is that wonderful combination of rusticity and luxury. The bedrooms are comfortable and private and the family areas are well appointed with fine leather couches. Ceiling fans in every room and radiant-heated floors make it comfortable throughout the year. Our location offers you a choice between the dozens of activities available in the area, or complete seclusion - whichever kind of vacation you seek.

  • We are a group of nine women that travel once a year to hike and visit one of the national parks. Mesa Verde was our destination this year and the Blackjack Lodge turned out to be the perfect place to stay. The setting is beautiful and the house had everything we needed. It far exceeded our expectations! Thank you, Vickie, for making the arrangements so easy and for your hospitality.

  • We had a great time at the home this past week, and thank you all, especially Vicki, for all of your hospitiality. The house was great, plenty of room for all, beautiful views, and lots of fun things close by to keep us busy. Don't miss the Serious Texas BBQ, or horseback riding at the D Bar G Outfitters. The drive to Silverton and Ouray were magnificent, and staying at this home put us 20 miles closer. Mesa Verde is a must-see as well! You can't go wrong with this beautiful home in a perfect location.

  • Just stayed at Blackjack Lodge the week of Thanksgiving (Sat-Thurs). Absolutely a beautiful home! We traveled with another family making us 4 adults and 6 kids. There was more than enough room for all of us to have our space and then some. It is everything they describe it to be and more. You won't be disappointed if you rent here!

  • We spent a week at Blackjack Lodge in July and had the most wonderful time you can imagine! The property is perfectly located and we loved the "seclusion." The scenery was just spectacular. It was the perfect lodging for our family of 10, which included our grown children and grandchildren. We packed the week with as many activities as we could and enjoyed all of it! All of us would have loved to stay longer.

  • Wow, the pictures don't do it justice. We loved this place our 3 families combined was not cramped at all! Our children loved being downstairs at ages 4,5,6 and 21. The Grandparents loved the private master bedroom and the glimpse of deer out their bathroom windows. The hot tub was and awesome setting and felt awesome after jeeping for 2 days. The backporch was a place I could live forever. The hummingbirds were amazing as we gazed at them for entertainment. Who needs tv here when u have swarming hummingbirds fighting for the feeder. Awesome lake well worth the climb down there and the hike back up.Very spacious for us Okies. Too bad we had to come back home to 101 temps waiting on us? Thanks for sharing your beautiful dream home with us from Coweta, the Hollingshed Family.

  • We just returned from a week's stay at the Blackjack Lodge and it was one of the most beautiful places to stay. I sat on the porch every morning watching the sun rise over the mountain, the hummingbirds feed and the little chipmunks play. My grandkids cried because they didn't want to leave they wanted to stay another week. They loved watching the wild life. The only bad experience for us was, coming from Oklahoma, getting use to the altitude. There were eight of us, three families, and we had plenty of room and enjoyed the beautiful scenery. We did find that if you aren't in very good fisical shap you can't get down to the lake and back up and that was a disappointment. My son-in-law did catch some trout out of the lake.

  • Wonderful home, plenty of room for everyone in our party. The hot tub and master bedroom are the best part of the house. We had a great experience and hope to stay again!

  • A truly awesome place. We stayed for New Years week with our 4 boys as lots of friends. Blackjack Lodge handles a large crowd easily and there was something to do for everyone. The mountain was great as was the snow. Scenic beauty, great restaurants, shopping, skiing – Durango has it all. PS - If you are an extreme skier you have to go to Silverton Mountain only about an hour away. It is incredible.

  • We recently spent two weeks at BlackJack Lodge to celebrate our 50th anniversary. The house is beautiful and easily accommodated our family, 6 adults and 4 children. The dining room table seated everyone allowing us to enjoy meals and conversastion. The lower rec room gave the children space to play games and watch their movies. The kitchen was more fully furnished than anyplace we've stayed previously. Hiking to the lake, relaxing on the deck watching the Hummingbirds, enjoying the hot tub, spectacular scenery - what could be better? A large buck and a doe appeared regularly, once as we set on the deck they came within 6 feet. Vickie gave us some good suggestions such as catching the train to Silverton in Rockwood instead of Durango. This cut two hours off the round trip. We tried several of the restaurants she recommended, all were excellent. We would suggest BlackJack Lodge for summer or winter vacations.

  • The website does not do this home justice! The decor was lovely and appropriate for the setting. The floorplan was perfect for allowing 10 people to be togeher, but not on top of each other. My father-in-law with his arthritic knees had no trouble getting up 4 stairs to an upstairs bedroom, although he did not attempt the hill to the lake. The rest of us enjoyed the canoe, and caught some decent trout on the lake (we always "catch and release").We also saw a bear not far from the cabin the first evening we were there. We will be back. It was perfect!
