Our 1,560 SF 3 bedroom/3 bath condo (Unit 721) single level condo is located on the 7th floor of the Eolus building which is located in the heart of the main plaza - making your vacation as convenient as possible.
The kitchen is fully equipped with cooking utensils, pots/pans etc. Additionally, there is a wood burning fireplace in the main living space (wood provided) and high speed WIFI.
Bed Configuration: Single Level Master - King with TV and Ensuite Bath (main level) 2nd Bedroom - Queen with TV and Ensuite Bath (main level) 3rd Bedroom - 2 set of bunk beds (single over single)
There is one assigned parking space on the 2nd floor of the building and additional vehicles can be parked in the main ski lots. The Eolus building features 2 hot tubs (year around) on the ground floor.
Due to HOA rules, the condo (and all condos in the building) is not pet friendly. Please do not bring your pets/emotional support animals.
For an 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. 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. When booking, just advise if you would like the extra 4% resort fee added.
Please note that, like most properties in the area, this home does not have AC, as it is uncommon for homes at this elevation.

Thank you for the lovely review! We’re so glad you enjoyed the beautiful views, the well-equipped kitchen, and the comfortable beds. We’d be happy to host you again anytime!
We enjoyed our stay. Can’t beat the views of the mountain and access to Purgatory. Covered parking was a huge plus because it snowed a lot while we were there. The unit itself was spacious and well appointed. The bathrooms looked recently redone, but the kitchen and living areas are dated. The carpet in the living room needs to be replaced. Really enjoyed the fireplace but getting wood can be tricky so best to plan ahead and bring it. Overall, we really enjoyed it.

Thank you so much for your detailed review! We’re delighted to hear you enjoyed the incredible mountain views, easy access to Purgatory Resort, and the covered parking — especially during a snowy visit.
It’s great to know the unit’s spacious layout, well-appointed bathrooms, and cozy fireplace added to your stay. We truly appreciate your helpful feedback regarding the kitchen, living areas, and carpet — these notes allow us to continue improving for future guests.
Thank you also for the tip about planning ahead for firewood — that’s a smart suggestion for anyone enjoying the fireplace. Overall, we’re thrilled you had a wonderful stay and would love to host you again!
Great property for ski in ski out. Purgatory is a great ski destination. The hot tub made this a great choice.

We go to Purgatory every Spring Break. This was our first year staying in Eolus and we loved it! We will stay there next year as well if available. The condo had everything we needed. The view was amazing! Slopes were only a few steps away. Communication and ease of booking was flawless. Five star review!

the condo was awesome - parking was difficult - a lot of mis-communications at front desk for us over parking - as our vehicle didn't fit in normal parking. But overall was a wonderful stay and have a lot of great memories.

Thank you for taking the time to leave a review and we are so glad you had a wonderful stay :) We apologize about any miscommunication from the Purgatory Resort staff. They are separate from our team, unfortunately and we will work to try to make sure they provide a smoother experience for our guests. It was such a pleasure to host you and we hope you come stay with us again soon!
We had a great time, great location the only issue we had is that one bathroom was clogged and couldn’t be used during our stay. So 10 people on 2 bathrooms was a hassle. Management was great trying to resolve the issue but we were told by the plumbers that it was a mayor issued because of the age of the pipes.

Pretty much awesome! The only negative thing was when I asked about early check in they said they would text me back if it was available. No text, but later on while going through emails there was a response saying we could check in 2 hours early. Nice, but why email???? They had my phone number to text!

Scott, we're so glad you had a great stay. I'm sorry for the miscommunication on the text and email correspondence on the early check in! The text goes to the phone number listed on the reservation and we have had out IT look into the bug that caused your phone to not receive the notification properly. We hope despite the texting error you will keep us in mind for future stays! _Mackey
Overall the unit was fine size wise for our group (4 adults, 2 kids) but it was very outdated. In addition, the unit lacked proper safety features to make it safe for kids (railings at hot tub were unattached!). Plus, most of the dishes and kitchenware needed to be scrubbed before use. There was no firewood provided either (was advertised that it would be in unit)

Thank you for leaving a review. While the decor of each of our properties depends on the taste of the individual homeowner, we are always happy to pass along these comments for the owner's consideration :) There is hard water in the area, so we provide a bottle of Lemishine that we ask guests to use with each load of dishes they run - it works like magic in cleaning off the hard water residue and the inside of the dishwasher all together.
We actually do provide instructions via email that you received on where to retrieve the firewood. It is just located in the parking garage and you can take as much as you like :) Always feel free to call us if you have trouble finding it.
Other than that, it was a pleasure to host you and we hope you stay with us again soon!
Parking is a problem. With a condo that sleeps 10, you might expect that there would be more than 1 car involved, but there is only one reserved parking space permitted. That was very inconvenient for the family member who had a small child and had to park some distance away. During the time we were there, there were many empty spaces in the parking garage, but when we asked for an additional space, we were told it is Purgatory’s rule that only one spot is allowed per condo.

Reviewer Comments:
We stayed over Christmas in a three bedroom three bath condo. Our room was on the 7th floor overlooking the ski lifts. The condo was clean and the kitchen was well stocked, which made it easy to prepare most of our meals there. The location was great and allowed us to walk out of the condo, put on our skis, and get right on the lift. We had a minor problem and management was great in helping us find a solution. We called and asked for wood for the fireplaces, and it was delivered quickly. Be sure to ask for fire starter as well. Our overall experience was very positive and I would recommend this condo to anyone wanting to be close to the slopes, close to restaurants, and the outdoor pool.

We had a nice stay here at Eolus 721. It was clean and had enough kitchen supplies but we didn't cook much this trip. Fridge needs updated soon since the ice maker is broken. They did supply bag ice though. Being on the top floor and having the balcony was nice for morning to afternoon sun, and we definitely enjoyed the private hot tub. It was great since the evenings were still chilly. Great views. It was disappointing we didn't have washer and dryer but they let us use another units for our stay. We needed a couple lights changed that were out but maintenance never showed up. Nice to have a designated parking spot in the garage. Overall we would stay here again.

Thank you for taking the time to leave us a review! We are happy to hear that the property was clean and that it had ample kitchen supplies! Thank you for your feedback on the fridge, we will take this into great consideration! We are sorry to hear that the ice maker was not working properly during your stay here with us. We are happy to hear that we were alternatively able to bring you a bag of ice. We are also happy to hear that you enjoyed the balcony during your stay here! We are also sorry to hear that the washer/dryer was also not usable during your stay, but we are glad to find out that we were still able to accommodate you! We are also sorry to hear that our maintenance team fell through on bringing you replacement light bulbs. We are so sorry about that, as that is not typical of our staff. We do hope that you will look into staying here again with us in the near future so that we have a chance to make your experience much better!
We love the location and a condo was nice but a little frustrated at a few things. The Wi-Fi login & password was incorrect and nobody could tell us what they were. We finally found them on the modem but even logged in it worked maybe 40% of the time. My sister stayed in a different condo and did not have this issue so it’s not the remote location. They said they would send out a tech but after a couple days of trying to figure out the login, we didn’t want to wait a couple more days for a tech to come near the end of our week.
When we went to leave, I loaded and tried to start the dishwasher and there was water sitting at the bottom and we couldn’t get it to work. It’s an old dishwasher with some notes written on it so clearly there has been issues before and it needs to be replaced.
Going in the summer it was a bit warm, which is fine but the balcony door in the family room did not have a screen, so we couldn’t open that up and blow the fan inside to cool it down without letting in a million bugs. Similar issue in the bunkbed room, you can’t open any windows to cool it down. This would only be a problem in the summer.
All these things are easily fixable so if they get taken care of, I would happily change my star rating to 5 stars

Thank you for sharing your detailed feedback regarding your recent stay. We're glad to know that you had a great stay and that you enjoyed the location and the condo, but we're sorry to hear about the issues you encountered during your stay.
We're sorry about the dishwasher problem you faced. Your observation about the need for an upgrade is duly noted and we will address this matter.
We appreciate your understanding regarding the temperature issues, and we're sorry that the lack of screens hindered your ability to ventilate the rooms without inviting bugs in. We have arranged for new screens to be installed.
We truly value your feedback and will work to improve these aspects. We assure you that we're committed to addressing the issues you highlighted. If you decide to stay with us again, we're dedicated to providing a more satisfying experience. We hope you come stay with us again soon!
Our condo was great. Very close to everything and plenty of space four the two families that stayed there. Would definitely book the same condo again.

Liked: Location, listing accuracy
Disliked: Cleanliness, check-in
Poor check-in management and subpar cleanliness
Not being able to check into the rooms until 4pm, the time the slopes closed, was a huge letdown. Being charged for that day while not being in the room for the majority and then having to be out by 10pm left much to be desired. As far as cleanliness, at first glance everything seemed great but staying in the condo we began to find things that were missed between guests. Beer cans thrown behind the hot tub, items left in beds, pillowcases with hair and stains on them. The overall experience wasn't horrible but we unfortunately won't be using this service again.

Thank you for taking the time to leave a review. Your feedback is important to us. A 4pm check-in is pretty standard and we also are happy to let you drop a few items off if you wanted to head on the slopes before check-in time. We do apologize that there were some housekeeping items missed as that is not consistent with our normal standards and has been brought to their attention. We know guests expect a very high level of cleanliness! We have replaced any linens that were worn and needed to be replaced so thank you for bringing that to our attention. It's unfortunate that you don't feel you would book us again but we hope you give us another chance as most guests are very happy when they stay with us :)

This was the perfect place for our short family vacation. The place was so comfortable and clean and the location could not have been better. I hope we will be able to come back for another vacation.
What a treat to have such a nice condo so close to the slopes with a hot ton on the deck overlooking the beautiful view and the base area. Perfect location, plenty of room and decorated very nicely. 2 fireplaces and dedicated covered parking. AND, I lost the email with instructions to get into the unit. Called the management company at 5:30pm with fingers crossed, they answered right away and re-sent the instructions immediately. This place is fantastic.
If I had to find one thing to pick on, the kitchen may be a touch small if you’re planning on making a lot of big meals with a lot of people. But it was perfect for the 6 of us for breakfast and dinner.
