About this property

Mountain Townhome - Great Views - Free on Demand Ski Shuttle

Black Bear townhome (Unit 90) is located directly across from Purgatory Resort and is a perfect basecamp for your vacation no matter the season. The townhome features 3 bedroom and 2.5 bath. The gourmet kitchen with stainless steel appliances includes a bar with seating & opens to the main living space & dining area. Enjoy great views of 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 & Twin bunk bed with TV (2nd Floor)
3rd Bedroom - Queen (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 4% resort fee included in the quote is the required resort fee that must be charged and does not allow access to the Durango Mountain Club. For an additional (and optional) 4% resort fee, you will have access to the Durango Mountain Club which includes an outdoor heated pool with slide, outdoor hot tub and workout facility. When booking, just advise if you would like us to add the additional 4% resort fee.

Book at least a week and a 10% discount is automatically applied (Excludes Christmas/New Years).

Stay with us and we offer DISCOUNTS on both summer (white water rafting, horseback riding etc.) and winter (ski/snowboard rentals, sleigh rides, snowmobile tours etc.) activities.

Amazaing Condo-Pictures Don't Do Justice

This condo is absolutely amazing. Clean, directly across from ski lift with a well stocked kitchen. The pictures do not do this place justice. The master suite was delightful with a fireplace and seating area. It was the perfect spot to ring in the new year with our family. We hope to be back!

Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: This rental was the absolute perfect spot for our family of four and all the things we wanted to do around Purgatory and Durango...unit has all of the amenities, is clean, comfortable and we really loved the location and neighborhood. Fishing pond, hiking trails, local restaurants and literally across the street from Purgatory. We will be back!
Response from VrboOwner on 4 Sept 2024
It sounds like you found a gem of a rental! I'm so glad it was perfect for your family and close to all the activities you wanted to enjoy. Having everything so close by—fishing, hiking, great restaurants, and being just across the street from Purgatory—must have made for a really fun and convenient stay. It's awesome to hear you plan on coming back! If you need any tips or help planning for your next trip, just let us know! -Mackey

Great Christmas ski trip!

We are a family of 7 with 5 kids. House was decorated for Christmas! Ski bus picked us up within 5 minutes of calling. 2 fireplaces keep the house warm. Love the keypad access so no fumbling for keys. Crockpot and griddle were a plus. Wish there were 9x13 casserole pans.

Family getaway

Well started out great but thus property is basically sitting next to busy highway no peace in quiet here road noise allday & night very loud then the fire place did not work in living room then the floors on the first floor hallway to kitchen had not been moped or cleaned properly in awhile dirty plus the upper & lower balconies were completely filthy unusualable chairs & floor deck areas completely covered in filth sad 😔 not able to enjoy them other than that the property was ok

Response from VrboOwner on 15 Sept 2023
Thanks for your feedback. The Black Bear townhomes, along with all of the properties across from Purgatory Ski Resort will be subject to road noise from Highway 550 (which is not really a busy highway - especially at night since nothing in the area is open after 9am) but offer super convenient access to Purgatory Ski Resort. The gas fireplaces are turned off in the summer since they are a heat source and turning them on in summer will simply make the townhome unbearably hot. We have spoken to our maintenance team about routine cleaning off decks for all of the Black Bear townhomes we manage to ensure they are routinely cleaned. While they of course should have been clean upon arrival, we would have sent them over during your stay had you reached out.

We have sent our maintenance team to inspect the bed to evaluate whether or not it is needed to be replaced, as well as sent our team members to remedy the situation with the fireplace so the future guests do not experience the same issues. Unfortunately some of our properties are located close to major highways such as highway 550, which is fully out of our control.

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was very clean. I was very unhappy with the location. I was more than satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I do not recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: Property was clean, beds comfortable but the location overlooking HWY 550 was disappointing. I moved units after the first day.
Response from VrboOwner on 15 Sept 2023
We're sorry to hear you did not enjoy the townhome's location. Most guests love staying here due to its convenience to Purgatory Resort and easy access in the winter. However, I can understand if you were looking for a different experience. We're glad you called us to let us know so we could help pair you with a place you enjoyed. It was a pleasure to host you and we hope you come stay with VRC again soon.

The perfect getaway

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was very happy with the location. I was very satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: This place is so beautiful! Right across the street from Purgatory and just a short drive from Durango, it was the perfect location for our little family and pups to spend the 4th. The kitchen is nicely appointed with great knives and cookware. As someone who cooks a lot, it’s awesome to have higher end items in a rental spot. There is a gorgeous pond, walking trail and playground nearby, which was awesome for our pups and kids. The Nugget was a fabulous find with a super fun atmosphere and fantastic food. Cannot wait to come back and spend more time here.

Dirty sheets/ bathtub and shower

The property itself was very nice however it was not cleaned properly. The master bedroom sheets had hair and stains on them. The master shower also had hair in it on the walls. The master bathtub looked like it had not been cleaned in quite some time. Location and neighborhood were quite nice although would have been nice to know about ongoing construction.

We do apologize for some of the housekeeping items being missed. We have brought this to the attention of the housekeeping team as that is not consistent with our normal standards and we know that nobody wants to arrive on vacation to a less than perfectly clean property. Please call us with any issues and we would be happy to send them back out to touch up any missed items. We're glad you enjoyed the property and its location and hope you come stay with us again soon. It was a pleasure to host you

Photos better than actual unit

Rating Details: The property manager was adequately helpful. The vacation rental was somewhat dirty. I was somewhat unhappy with the location. I was satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I do not recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: Unit is located next to major highway, no air conditioning, and smaller than photos appear. Traffic very loud. Refridgerator not clean upon arrival and patio furniture had cobwebs. Not worth the price.
Stayed 36 nights in Jun 2015
Response from VrboOwner on 15 Sept 2023
Given the topography, all properties within 1/2 mile of the Highway will experience some level of road noise from Highway 550. This home is ideally located within the resort community with easy year-round access to a prolific array of amenities, trails networks, the ski area and open space. No properties in the area have air conditioning as the elevation is 9000 and summer highs rarely reach 80 while lows are in the low 50s. We always recommend to our guests to manage the temperature in the summer by simply leaving windows open at night at closing them in the morning and using ceiling fans when needed. The professional photos on the listing reflect the actual size and furnishings in the unit, so we are unsure why the guest felt the unit appears smaller then the photos.

Disappointed

The condo we had reserved was not available.. Luckily I checked my email that morning and saw where they had changed our unit. The condo they gave us didn't have two king beds which is specifically why we had reserved the one we did. We paid the extra 4% fee to use the hot tub but it was a drive aross the highway and then quite a walk from parking lot. The patio was very noisy with highway traffic.

We sincerely apologize that we had to you move you to a unit down the street due to water damage in the townhome you had originally booked. We tried to pick the most comparable one to match what you originally booked. We hope you were still able to enjoy your stay here.

Family Get Together

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was very happy with the location. I was satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: Overall positive. Management staff was very responsive and tried to help. We did have a communication error. The single queen bedroom bed IS built into the three walls, so two people sleeping DO have to crawl over each other to get out. There is no AC. Ceiling fans, one box fan and one desk fan were not enough. We never cooled off upstairs past 72 degrees at night. And we had to keep all doors open to have air flow. Traffic noise from Hwy 550 is loud with windows and doors open in summer time. Trash must be loaded in your car and driven to a parking lot down the highway. So don’t pack your car to leave until you have done that task! Its location was our primary request. We made it work.
Response from VrboOwner on 11 Jul 2024
Thank you for your detailed feedback, Mendy. I'm glad to hear that your overall experience was positive and that our management staff was responsive and helpful. I apologize for the communication error regarding the layout of the single queen bedroom bed; I understand how the setup could be inconvenient for two people. We’ll ensure this detail is clarified in our listing. I’m also sorry to hear that the lack of AC and the provided fans were not sufficient to cool the upstairs area, and that traffic noise from Hwy 550 was an issue. We appreciate your feedback. The requirement to drive trash to a different location is not ideal but is the HOA's call. Thank you for highlighting the positive aspects and for making it work despite these challenges. We appreciate your understanding and hope to welcome you back for an improved experience in the future. -Mackey
