About this property

Perfect Mountain Getaway! Fireplace, Spa Bathroom, Amazing Views!

Gorgeous on-mountain condo at Silverpick Village / Black Diamond Lodge that is fully remodeled and well maintained. Updated 'spa bathroom' featuring local river rocks and an oversized rainfall shower. Chef's kitchen that is modern, high-quality and amazingly well-equipped. Updated appliances. You won't find a better deal for a condo of this quality and location no matter how hard you look!

New! We just upgraded to Starlink internet and have excellent WiFi speeds.

Breathtaking San Juan mountain views from every window - the best views in Silverpick Village! A true Colorado experience.


This one bedroom unit has been fully renovated and luxuriously upgraded. It sleeps up to four people and is located on the mountain, about half a mile south of Purgatory Resort, nestled in a mature aspen grove at an elevation of almost 8800 feet. It is only a two-minute drive to resort base area. It is the perfect location for an active get-away, a relaxing break or a romantic escape. The condo features breathtaking views of the San Juan Mountains from the living room, dining room, bedroom and deck.


The living room is inviting and decorated in an updated “Colorado Mountain Style” … overstuffed seating, earthy colors, with natural wood and stone elements. The 10-foot wide glass door wall opens to a private deck with a seating area to enjoy the fresh mountain air and amazing views. Deer and elk sometimes graze within a few dozen feet of the deck. Hummingbirds provide summertime entertainment as they buzz around enjoying the wildflowers.


The interior dining area features seating for four at a bar-height lodge-style table. There are also outdoor picnic tables in the meadow that can be used during the warmer months.


We often receive compliments from our guests regarding the impressive chef-inspired kitchen. From the new quality appliances, hickory cabinets and quartz counter tops to the professional quality pots and pans, new dishes, utensils and inventory of small appliances, you’ll be all set to create a gourmet meal. If cooking on vacation is not your thing, no worries, as there are several restaurants nearby.


You’ll appreciate the fully renovated bathroom with double vanity and featuring Kohler fixtures. Hair dryer, quality linens, guest robes and spa amenities (shampoo, soaps, lotion, sunscreen, etc.) are all included. The bathroom has been upgraded to a 'spa room' featuring a river rock theme and overhead rainfall shower. The renovation includes custom tile, new cabinetry, high dual vanities and a Kohler HydroRail shower system.


After a day on the mountain or enjoying the great outdoors, relax in front of the wood-burning stone fireplace or soak in the hot tub. The cozy sofa will invite you to unwind in front of the 46-inch HD flat screen TV with ROKU There is also an extensive DVD library with new release and classic movies, a retro Sony PlayStation with assorted video games and a selection of books, magazines and 'old school' board games for your enjoyment.


When it is finally time to sleep, retire to the ultra-comfortable king-sized bed with top quality bedding and linens. Doze off watching the HD flat screen TV. Bringing friends or family? There is also a queen-sized pull-out bed in the living room with a brand new top-of-the-line memory foam mattress.

Taking a working vacation or just need to check your e-mail? The condo is equipped with free wi-fi via StarLink.

The unit is PET/ANIMAL FREE (pets/animals including ESAs are not permitted due to an owner medical condition).

Need baby gear during your stay? Rent cribs, car seats, strollers, toys and more from BabyQuip! As seen on Shark Tank, BabyQuip offers clean, sanitized, and safe baby gear, delivered to the condo. Visit https://www.babyquip.com/a/hd697u to make a reservation.


THIS PROPERTY HAS A RING VIDEO DOORBELL. The camera provides a view of the entrance of the condo (front door).


GO GREEN! To help the environment, we have chosen to subscribe to sustainable 100% wind power electricity for the condo and we have converted lighting to efficient CFB's. We have installed ultra high efficiency European-style heating system throughout the unit. All appliances are new and Energy Star rated. The condo has been painted with low VOC paint.

Golden aspens in a blanket of snow
The unit itself was great and a perfect location by the Black Diamond Lodge. Wood fireplace was stocked up and made for great ambience. Only complaint would be the hot tub was not operational during our stay, but that applies to the whole complex, not just this unit

Mountain Comfort
I had the pleasure of staying at this property for a weekend while attending a wedding at the adjacent Black Diamond Lodge in September 2024. Over the past few years, I've stayed at quite a few rentals, hotels, resorts, etc., but this property was arguably one of the very best as far a comfort, cleanliness and attention to detail when serving their guests! Both the local manager and the property owner were exceptionally responsive to my pre-arrival communications and made me feel welcomed and appreciated as a guest. Upon entering the unit, I was very impressed by the cleanliness, decor and how well-appointed the condo was! While it sports a rustic, mountain feel, a great deal of work has been done by the hosts to modernize the unit for a comfortable and functional stay. Moreover, the hosts have thought of everything to make their guests have an enjoyable stay - including but not limited to loaner daypacks, hiking guides, umbrella, tote bags, binoculars for wildlife viewing and even pre-stamped postcards!!! The kitchen had everything one could need for a stay, including many basic staples. The comfortable stay was punctuated by the buttery sateen sheets on the bed, which was certainly a treat after each long day! Needless to say, I highly recommend this property and the hosts for any of your future lodging needs! Cheers! John

About the host

Hosted by Krista Molloy

Host profile image
Krista and Gabor call Denver home but spend as much time as possible in Durango and the Austrian Alps. 'We love the mountain lifestyle and Durango has some of the best hiking and biking in the world .. the scenery and weather are amazing.' 'We hope that you'll enjoy this area and the condo as much as we do, and that you'll agree this is one of the most perfect spots in all Colorado!'

Why they chose this property

We loved Durango from that first visit. We bought the property knowing that one day we wanted to retire in this area. It reminded Krista of Canada (where she was born) and reminded Gabor of Austria (where he had lived). The mountains in this area are very rugged and beautiful and the evergreen and aspen forests are amazingly green and lush. We bought the condo thinking winter would be when we would spend the most time there, but after visiting in spring, summer and fall, we discovered the other seasons are just as impressive. The 300+ days of sunshine each year was the final deciding factor ... we couldn't resist.

What makes this property unique

This is a true 'home away from home' ... exceptionally well-equipped, comfortable and completely modernized. The location - about half a mile from the ski resort - makes it close enough to feel like a Colorado mountain resort, but far enough away from the noise and congestion of the base area to feel close to nature. In the summer, the location escapes the uncomfortable desert heat of the town of Durango, still only 20 to 25 minutes away (and the most beautiful 24 mile drive you can imagine!). The setting is pristine ... backed up against the Hermosa cliffs to the west, surrounded by mature aspen forests and breathtaking views of the San Juan mountains to the north and east. We bet you won't want your vacation to end!
