About this property
Black Bear Townhome - Great Views - Ping Pong - Professionally Decorated
Our Black Bear townhome (Unit 59) is located directly across from Purgatory Resort and is a perfect basecamp for your vacation no matter the season. The townhome features 3 bedrooms (all with TVs) and 2.5 bathrooms with a ping pong table in the garage. The gourmet kitchen with stainless steel appliances includes a bar with seating and opens to the main living space and dining area. Enjoy great views of Engineer Mountain and the ski slopes from either deck.
The townhome home is part of the resort so you have access to free on-demand shuttle service to Purgatory Ski Resort but since it is across the highway you have the privacy and additional space a townhome affords (it’s part of a duplex). At 8,900 feet of elevation, the home is a gateway to an amazing winter playground and also serves as the perfect summer retreat, with a million acres of national forest land at your doorstep offering all your favorite mountain activities. It’s only a 2 minute walk to Twilight Lake for fishing and paddle boarding and as well as Purgatory Flats Trailhead, one of the most scenic hikes in the San Juan Mountains. Horseback riding, jeep trails, an alpine slide, epic mountain biking and the Purgatory Inferno Mountain Coaster are all less than 5 minutes from the home.
Bed Configuration: Master Bedroom - King Bed with TV and Ensuite Bath (2nd Floor) 2nd Bedroom - Queen & Bunk Bed with TV (Single over Single) (2nd Floor) 3rd Bedroom - Twin over Double bunk bed with TV (Single over Double) (2nd Floor)
This home is pet friendly! We allow a maximum of 2 dogs max and the pet fee is $40/day (for a max $250 per stay).

The condo was the perfect location for a week long stay while skiing and other winter activities at Purgatory ski resort. The condo has everything you would ever want and was very well maintained. When we arrived it was well stocked and very clean. We have stayed at numerous slope side condos at Purgatory and this one is our new favorite. The rental company is by far the easiest we have ever worked with and makes sure that you are totally satisfied with your stay. We will definitely be using the Durango Vacation Rental Collective again when we return to Purgatory.

Great experience! This townhome is clean and well-stocked. We had a small problem with a malfunctioning appliance upon check-in, and the management company quickly resolved the issue, beyond our expectations. The location was perfect - close enough to walk to the ski area and trails, yet quiet and removed from the bustle of the resort. The beds were comfortable and the living area was inviting. We made good use of the well-stocked kitchen, enjoyed movies and board games, skied, hiked, and relaxed. Perfect for our family of four!

This condo is beautiful and looked exactly as expected. 3 bedrooms, 3 bathrooms and 3 separate outdoor spaces (patios). Even though we were there for a week (5 of us), enough supplies were left for us that we didn't even have to purchase paper towels, toilet paper, coffee filters, dish soap, dishwasher liquid, laundry detergent and dryer sheets - unbelievable! Condo is just across the street from Purgatory Resort so we enjoyed the pool, ski lift, slide, and coaster over there a couple days. Rode the train and went whitewater rafting - had a blast - condo was perfect for our needs and booking was effortless with Premier Vacation Rentals Group!! Highly recommend them and this condo!

We had no significant issues with our stay. The refrigerator doors do not close without pushing hard and there is an alarm that goes off after just a few seconds. You would think this wasn't enough of a deal to write a review about, but after a couple of days the beeping starts to get annoying. We were not able to locate the trash dumpster and it wasn't where it was on previous stays. Fortunately we weren't there long enough to overfill the trash can in the garage. No issues to subtract a star from an otherwise 5-star stay.

Thank you for taking the time to leave feedback! We do apologize for the beeping, please always feel free to call us and we can come up with a solution for you whether it be adjusting the fridge door or disabling the alarm. You are correct that the HOA made the decision to remove the dumpster from the Black Bear complex and combined it with Purgatory's recycle and trash center down the highway near the Gelande Parking Lot. We complete agree with you and are not happy about this change. Feel free to leave the trash in the garage as you did if you have any issue finding the dumpster. We are so glad to hear that overall you enjoyed this property and your stay in the Durango and Purgatory area. It was an absolute pleasure to host you and we hope you stay with us again soon!

We stayed here for the Iron Horse Classic Bike Ride that my husband did. It was a great location for the ride because we were right in the middle of the course between Durango and Silverton. There is not much going on or many places to eat near the resort so we had to drive back and forth between the townhome and Durango quite a bit. It's about a 30 minute drive and it beautiful so it wasn't bad, just something we had to plan for. The house was in very nice condition and we had everything we needed! The 3rd loft style bedroom is very small and probably best suited for kids although we did put two adults in there. Leading up to our stay the number of peaoplencimjng with us changed and we needed a smaller place than what we originally booked. Keith was great to work with, very responsive and professional.

Rachel, Thanks so much for your stay with us. During that time of year it's not winter anymore, and it's not quite summer, so we agree there is less activity in the resort area for that short shoulder season. That said, there are four restaurants open and right around that townhome, so I hope you were able to enjoy some of those during your stay. Some of the best food in town is within a couple of miles of that home. We're grateful for your visit, and we hope you'll come back again soon.

We visit Telluride every summer. This year, we decided to check out Purgatory, for 4 nights, and then drove to Telluride for a week. The home in Purgatory (black bear 59) was wonderful! It made our trip so much more fun and different this year. We enjoyed riding the mountain roller coaster at the resort and the scenic chair lift ride. Every night, we strolled down to the lake, which is very close. The deck was heavenly and we saw many hummingbirds. It's more affordable than Telluride, too. Very peaceful environment. Wonderful hiking and my husband enjoyed fly fishing, too. Our contact, Keith, was very responsive and helpful from the moment we booked. 5 stars with the exception of very dirty ceiling fan blades (my pet peeve with rentals). Overall, the home was very clean and we enjoyed our stay. We hope to return next year. Thank you!

Our family had a great time staying in this condo. The location was perfect for getting to the slopes. The condo was clean and well stocked. The internet was out for 4 of the 5 days we were there but that wasn’t the fault of those managing the rental, the entire complex was out. The microwave could stand to be replaced as you had to hold the door closed to get it to work. But other then that, it was well maintained. A piece of information not included in the rental info was that you are o my allowed 2 cars. One in the garage and one in the driveway. Any additional cars must be left at the overflow parking lot for the resort. There isn’t any on property extra parking spaces. Not a deal breaker, but we had 3 families with 3 cars. And while we were not happy about having to leave a car unattended in the overflow lot, it all turned out ok.

The house is nice. It is located in Purgatory which is in between Silverton and Durango. It’s about 30 mins from Durango. The house is in a very desolate area. We did not go during snow season so there wasn’t much to do close to the house. The check in process was very easy and our GPS took us directly to the property from Montrose Airport. Also if you’re driving to the property from Montrose you’ll drive through Red Mountain Pass and while it’s a beautiful drive, you’re butthole will be puckered from fear lol. The house wasn’t as clean as I had hoped for. They’re were chips on the floor when we arrived, empty Bud Light bottle on the patio. The patio was also very dirty with dirt and bird crap and the patio furniture cushions has definitely seen their better days. Some of the cushions were even missing. But the real issue was when I pulled back the covers in the masters bed there was a ring. Looked like a wedding ring and there was hair on the sheets. We had to completely strip the bed and search for more sheets. Overall the house served the purpose.

Thank you for taking the time to leave a review! Your feedback is important to us :) We are so glad you had an enjoyable stay. The townhome is across the highway from Purgatory Resort so its not necessarily in a desolate area but they do have off seasons where the resort is not open, but there's still tons of hiking and off road trails in the area. Please always feel free to call us for recommendations on things to do in the area :) I apologize there were some housekeeping items missed... we have brought this up with our housekeeping team as that is not at all consistent with our normal standards. Other than that, we are so glad you enjoyed your stay and we hope you stay with us again for your next visit to the area!

Stayed at Black Bear 59 for a week to ski with our family of 5. Condo has beautiful views and the free shuttle pick up / drop off to the resort was quick and easy for us. We used the grill, and kitchen had all the resources needed for cooking. Internet was painfully slow, our kids missed school for a week while skiing, and needed to turn in a few assignments electronically. The wifi was not ever strong enough for my kids to access the needed materials or send communication to their teachers, we ended up using our personal hotspots for this instead. TV was also painfully slow. Watched a couple of movies in the evening, and buffering was an issue. My husband had to update the downstairs TV in order to access the basic cable channels to watch the Super Bowl. Pet hair was an issue too. We love animals and do not have a problem with rentals being pet friendly. However, pet hair was absolutely everywhere. 1 of my kiddos and I do have certain allergies to pet hair and were coughing, wheezing & sneezing all week. I ended up getting allergy medicine for us, which helped. The blankets provided had hair all over them, and we could not sit on the floor due to the hair. The bathrooms and kitchen were clean, but it felt like everywhere else had not been properly vacuumed or dusted - due to the quantity of pet hair we experienced. Like I mentioned, we love animals but if allergies are an issue, I would consider looking elsewhere to stay. Other than the wifi and issues with pet-allergies, we loved our time at Purgatory and the condo suited our family nicely.

Party of 5 adults and 3 kids. Living, Dining, and Kitchen very small areas. Bedrooms and baths very nice however master mattress is in need of replacing. One bunk bed does not have ladder and has an opening where a child could fall through to downstairs. Be aware if you bring two cars one must be in garage at all times, no parking on street so you wont be able to use ping pong table. CONSTRUCTION right on top of driveway. Kitchen appliances need repair - I would say cooktop is hazard based on gas flames shooting. Built in microwave not working so another one is on countertop taking up limited space. Loved having washer/dryer, loved location, Need to go to Durango for walmart or grocery store, dr places to dine. Balconys were nice

We appreciate you taking the time to leave a review. We're glad to hear you had a good stay and loved the location and balconies :) We replaced the mattress in the master bedroom in May 2023 and replaced the built in microwave (it was on order during this guest stay) thus creating more space on the counter. It was such a pleasure to host you! We thank you for choosing to stay with VRC and we hope to host you again for your next visit to the Durango area! You can obviously park a 2nd vehicle perpendicular to the drive way while playing ping pong - nobody is going to tow or boot a vehicle while you are in the garage playing ping pong.
