This is our 2nd time to stay here, and I will definitely book again! The location is great. The kitchen is well stocked with everything you need. My family loves this place.
Views were outstanding, very nice spot on the mountain. With more snow, it would have been a true ski-in/ski-out location. We have stayed at Purg 5 times, and this was our favorite by far!

Thank you so much for your wonderful review, Austin! We’re thrilled to hear that the views stood out and that this was your favorite stay at Purgatory! That truly means a lot to us. We’d love to host you again on a powder-filled trip next time for that perfect ski-in/ski-out experience!
This was amazing place for a family ski vacation! It is walking distance to the lifts, but also just a nice open place for hanging out and laughing. Adults, teen, kids and the dog all had a wonderful time.

Hi Brad! Thank you for your kind review. We are so happy to hear that the house worked well for you and your group. We hope to welcome you back for another great stay soon!
This condo was very comfortable for our family. It was super clean and well stocked with cookware and utensils. Parking is a bit tricky. We would definitely rent here again.

Thank you for your thoughtful review! We're so glad to hear the condo was comfortable and well-equipped for your family. We appreciate your note about the parking, there is room for one car to park right in the driveway and extra cars can park in the overflow lot at Purgatory Resort. We'd be happy to host you again anytime!
We had a great stay with plenty of room for our family of 6. It was a short walk up to a hill where we could ski to the lift. The beds were comfortable and the place had everything we needed for our 5 night stay.

We rented this condo for a spring break ski trip. The snow was a little lacking this year, but the condo was great, and exactly as described. First of all, the place is big. It has 4 legitimate bedrooms, all with the beds described. The kitchen is large for a rental, and is stocked for a group....there were probably 20 plates. Others commented that it's not exactly ski-in-ski-out. This is true, there is a walk to the slopes. We drove and dropped off skiiers and equipment so only one person had to make the walk (and that without gear). Some other reviews note that it's out dated; and yeah, there's some older stuff, but nothing important. The only wonky thing was the bathroom in the master bed/bath is open - like it's all basically the same space. It wasn't a big deal for us, but I could see how that could be annoying for some.

Thank you so much for taking the time to leave such a detailed review! We’re thrilled to hear that you enjoyed the condo and that it met your expectations. It’s great to know the space, bedrooms, and kitchen worked well for your group.
We appreciate your honest feedback regarding the walk to the slopes and the layout of the master bathroom. We try to be as transparent as possible in our listing, but your notes will definitely help future guests plan their stay.
We hope the rest of your spring break was fantastic, despite the snow, and we’d love to welcome you back anytime!
Lots of room, kitchen well stocked. End of complex so it is very quiet. Worked well for my family. Dog friendly.

Thanks for the great review and feedback Kristi! We're so happy to hear you enjoyed the amazing location and how well-stocked the home is. We apologize for the issues you encountered during your stay. We don't have any record of you reaching out to report any of these to us. We would have appreciated the opportunity to make these things right for you during your stay. Our apologies that the home was not up to yours nor our standard of clean. I've mentioned the issues to our housekeeping team to ensure they are addressed for future guests! I can confirm the issues with the cable have been addressed! We hope to host you again!
Layout and # of rooms was perfect for our visit.
Beautiful views out of most windows, and great proximity to Purgatory resort.
Still had a little bit of a hike to the skiing trails, but was able to ski back through the property right to the driveway.
House was clean and well organized, although the front door didn't latch without the deadbolt, it wasn't a big deal. The TV remote in the livingroom also had some issues with the volume button, but also was not a big deal.
Overall the location and layout of the house was great, and we'll look forward to any future visits.

Nice place, but not that nice
This place advertises as a minute walk from the Purgatory Resort. It's actually close to a 10-12 minute walk away. Definitely not ski-in/ski-out.
The cookware is old. We found dirty pots and pans put away in the cabinets. The lighting in the entire place is inadequate.
It's still a nice cozy place, but it didn't quite meet our expectations.

Thank you for your feedback and glad you found the townhome cozy! Our listing advertises "Close To Lift At Purgatory" and "you can utilize an unpublished ski run to get to the chairlifts." The 1 minute walk you are seeing on the listing is the map that VRBO publishes automatically letting guests know proximity to locations in the surrounding area. Sorry for the confusion. Housekeeper has gone through the pots/pans/dishes in all cupboards. We have not had any mention of inadequate lighting from any past guest but will reevaluate. Thank you for being our guests.
We booked this property for the main purpose of skiing at nearby Purgatory. We usually stay at the lodge but waited too late and when they were booked, we needed a place to stay that would accommodate two families of 4 who would mostly be skiing.
This property was great! It is dated but very clean and well kept. Gorgeous views from the living room and deck. The kitchen was stocked with every thing we needed for cooking (minus a crockpot- if there was one I could not find it). The beds were comfy. There was a side closet to store ski boots and helmets as well as an outside area to store skis. The washer and dryer were a plus to dry wet ski clothes.
We enjoyed our stay but the only downside was it is not ski in/ski out. You have to walk about a quarter mile to the bunny hill to get on the lifts. We have older kids that can carry their gear but this could be difficult for families with littles. We made it work. Other than that great house in pretty good location.
Hosts were very thorough in checking in before we even arrived!

Thank you for staying with us! We are happy you enjoyed the well stocked unit, it's fantastic views, and comfy beds! Hope you also enjoyed the wood burning fireplace after a long day on the slopes. We'd welcome you back anytime.
Location is great, although Purgatory has reduced services in the summer. But easy trip to Silverton or Durango. House comfortable; we were four people plus dog so had plenty of room. Kitchen well-stocked. Deck nice although chairs weren’t great. Property managers very available.
Furnishings and decor dated, that didn’t bother us. Bathrooms very small. Mattresses could use replacing and bedding was cheap and utilitarian, not luxurious.
Overall, it was a great home base for us to explore the area, but I’m not sure I’d rent it again.
