About this property
Sunny Slope (Kendall #545) | Affordable - Ski Resort Amenities - Elevator
Sunny Slope (Kendall #545) is a romantic mountain hideaway tucked right into the heart of Purgatory Resort Village—just steps from the high‑speed Purgatory Express lift. Perfect for ski‑loving couples, this charming studio offers true ski‑in/ski‑out convenience and a peaceful retreat after a day carving turns or exploring the trails. The thoughtfully designed mini kitchen makes it easy to share a relaxed breakfast before first chair or cook a cozy dinner together, complete with stainless steel appliances, dual mini‑fridges, stovetop burners, and both drip and K‑cup coffee options.
After your mountain adventures, curl up by the fireplace, enjoy a favorite show, or fold down the Queen Murphy bed for a restful night’s sleep. When the bed is stowed, the clever built‑in dining table creates a bright, open space perfect for lingering over coffee or planning the next day’s runs. A modern walk‑in shower adds a touch of luxury, making it easy to unwind and warm up. With its intimate atmosphere, smart layout, and unbeatable proximity to the lifts, Sunny Slope is an ideal retreat for couples seeking comfort, convenience, and a little mountain magic.
WHERE YOU'LL SLEEP:
* Queen Murphy Bed with memory foam topper
* Futon
KENDALL BUILDING: The condo is on the 5th floor (elevator access). The Kendall building also features a hot tub on the roof with amazing views of the Needles Mountain range. Coin laundry in this building - there is no washer/dryer inside the condo.
RESORT CLUB ACCESS: 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.
PURGATORY SKI MOUNTAIN LOCATION: This condo is located at Purgatory Ski Resort in the San Juan Mountains. Purgatory is 25 minutes north of downtown Durango and is known as a family-friendly ski resort. It has 105 trails, including 5 terrain parks, over 1,500 skiable acres and 12 lift. The resort boasts an average annual snowfall of 260 inches. Purgatory Resort offers a variety of activities and amenities that cater to families, including ski lessons, childcare and a variety of restaurants. It is a more affordable option that some of the other ski resorts in Colorado, has a good mix of terrain for all ability levels, and stunning views. If you're looking for a resort that offers something for everyone, staying at this condo at Purgatory is a great option!
SUMMER AT PURGATORY: Purgatory boasts a bike park accessible by chair lift, an alpine slide, mountain coaster, and treasure panning. There are also hiking trails, jeep tours, and watercraft rentals on Twilight Lake. Purgatory hosts various events throughout the summer, such as live music concerts, festivals and bike races.
NO PETS: Due to HOA rules, the condo (and all condos in the building) are not pet friendly. Please do not bring your pets/emotional support animals.
COOLING: Please note that, like most properties in the area, this home does not have AC, as it is uncommon for homes at this elevation. Temperatures inside the property are easily managed by using fans and opening the windows at night when temperatures drop into the 40s.
