About this property

All the comforts of home. Amazing mountain views from both floors!

Steps from everything, while being private and quiet with the most amazing mountain views. 

The East Rim buildings were some of the first residences at Purgatory so the builders had dibs on the best location possible! We are directly across the street from the Purgatory Lodge reception and perched right on the cliff overlooking the Twilight Mountains. Did we mention the waterfall right next to the building? You also have your own free private parking right next to the condo.

Come inside and you will find two stories with the living area upstairs and bedrooms downstairs. The living area is open and centers around the wood-burning fireplace and the brand-new deck with unobstructed views of Twilight Peak, the Needles Mountains, and the Weminuche Wilderness. The well-appointed kitchen lets the cook work their magic while still being part of the action, or you can grill on the deck. There is plenty of seating and a king-size Murphy bed (with a true king mattress) that can be folded down at the end of the evening for those extra guests to get a good night's sleep - life is too short to sleep on a pull-out couch! There is also a full bath with a tub and glass panel shower.

Downstairs you have 2 bedrooms, each with its own access to the full bathroom. The master bedroom has a king-size bed, large flat-screen TV, and plenty of windows as well as your own door to an outside ground-level patio. The 2nd bedroom has a Full/Twin bunk bed that is ideal for kids. We caution that the top bunk should not sleep anyone over 150 pounds.

There is also a full washer/dryer, ski locker, boot warming area, and much more. The bathrooms were completely replaced in 2021, new bunks and master bed in 2021, new Murphy bed in 2021, new paint and decks in 2021, and new carpet and tile throughout in 2022.

As a guest in our home, you get access to the resort's heated pool, hot tub, and fitness center all located right across the street at Purgatory Lodge. Towels, change rooms and showers are provided at the Lodge. Please do not take the towels from our home across to the pool/hot tub.

The condo is surrounded by the San Juan National Forest and in the summer there is plenty of great hiking, fishing, horseback riding, mountain biking, and more that you can walk to or within a 15-minute drive. There is a small lake across the road that you can paddle-board on. There are a limited number of restaurants and bars but they all have a lot of character - try the pizza at Schoolhouse or sliders and live music on the deck at the Nugget.

Silverton is a true 'old west' town and the northern terminus of the DSNGRR narrow gauge steam train and you can be there in 30 minutes. Or drive 30 minutes south to Durango where there is an amazing variety of shops, restaurants, grocery stores, outfitters and more, as well as the amazing events that happen all year long.

If you made it this far in your reading, you will be happy to know that this place is owned and managed by a local family. We have lived in Durango since 2002 and we love where we live. We are very proud of our little place on the mountain and can't wait to host you. We are always reachable if you have questions or need assistance.

Please note that there are 12 outdoor steps down to our building and no wheelchair access.

About the host

Hosted by Jim and Alison

Host profile image
Your hosts are Jim and Alison. We have been married since 1986 with two grown kids. We have lived in Durango since 2002 and love to travel - 55 countries and counting! During our travels, we stay in a lot of hotels and vacation rentals so we know what we like and want to make sure that you have a great experience at our place.

Because we live just down the road from Purgatory, we know the area very well and can recommend things to see and do and take care of any issues that you have quickly and properly.

Why they chose this property

We have owned the condo since 2020 and spend a lot of time there in all 4 seasons. We love the view and spend a lot of time on the balcony watching the world go by. At night it is amazingly quiet and the silence and mountain air make for a great night's sleep. We also slip across the street in our flip-flops and hit the hot tub all the time!

What makes this property unique

The East Rim condos were built in 1972. They are on the best piece of real estate possible, mixing convenience with breathtaking views to the east. We have done an extensive renovation to the place and continue to invest in improvements every year. This isn't some worn out ski condo in Summit County, this is our personal escape and we want you to enjoy it as much as we do!
