About this property

Scenic Mountain Escape (#304) | Deck, Mtn Views, Fireplace, Near Ski, Dogs OK

Scenic Mountain Escape at Silverpick (#304) is a cozy two‑story townhome with 2 bedrooms, a loft, and 2 bathrooms, offering plenty of space to unwind. Enjoy a fully equipped kitchen, a welcoming fireplace, and beautiful mountain views that set the tone for a true Colorado getaway.

Located less than 5 minutes from Purgatory Ski Resort and just 25 minutes from downtown Durango, it’s the perfect home base for skiing, hiking, biking, or simply relaxing after a day on the trails. You’ll also appreciate the convenience of a dishwasher, washer/dryer, and—best of all—dogs are welcome, so your four‑legged companions can join the adventure.

WHERE YOU'LL SLEEP:
* Main Bedroom - King Bed with TV (2nd Level)
* 2nd Bedroom - Queen Bed (Main Level)
* Loft - Pull-Out Sofa (2nd Level)

AMENITIES: The property has a shared hot tub, playground, and hiking. You can also walk or bike the 0.3-mile dirt road from the condo to the Nugget Mountain Bar - they have a food truck and indoor/outdoor seating with firepits. In the summer, they also feature live music! In the summer, a bike ride to the ski resort would be easy, too.

LOCATION: Silverpick sits at appx 8800 feet in elevation. It borders the National Forest and is about halfway between the historic towns of Durango and Silverton. This prime location is just 1 mile from Purgatory Ski Resort's entrance and approximately 25 minutes from downtown Durango, with scenic drives up to Silverton and Ouray. Enjoy both quiet privacy and the incomparable Needles Mountain views from this townhome, while being close enough to the action of Purgatory Resort where you can enjoy a variety of restaurants, winter and summer activities, and festivals/events.

PETS: 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). Pets must be crated if they are left home alone. Guests are expected to clean up after their pets.

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.

NOTE: There is a ring camera at the front door facing out.

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.

Relaxing stay in Durango

The condo was very clean and cozy. The bathrooms and kitchen were well stocked with everything we needed. The location was wonderful - far enough out of Durango so that it was peaceful and traffic free. Located close to Haviland Lake where we enjoyed kayaking and picnicking. Also conveniently located not too far from Silverton and Ouray.

Nice Place

Very nice condo. It snowed quite a bit during our stay (in the middle of April) but the condo was warm and comfy. Although, the bad weather did make the internet go out briefly. The decorations and artwork are super cute, making the place very inviting. It was also nice to have some trial-sized toiletries and household supplies (like dish soap and a new dish sponge). I also greatly appreciated that we weren't required to clean on check-out like so many other places. We did the dishes and stripped the beds, but it was nice that we didn't HAVE to do those things. Would definitely stay here again.

Thank you so much for the thoughtful review! We're glad the condo kept you cozy during that unexpected April snow—gotta love spring in the mountains! It's great to hear you enjoyed the decor and felt at home with the little extras like the toiletries and supplies. We also really appreciate you noticing our simple check-out process—our goal is to make your stay as relaxing as possible. We'd love to welcome you back anytime!

Our Visit to Durango-Silverton

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was very clean. 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: The rental is just as pictured and described. and Anytime I had questions, they were very quick to answer. I'm only giving cleanliness 4 stars, because it could have been cleaner. I appreciate a dog friendly rental, so I expect some occasional dog hair - but found the floors to be a little dirty and a few areas that could have been dusted better. But overall we had a fantastic time and would stay here again!

Decent stay

Condo was close to Purgatory Ski Resort. Cleanliness of property was disappointing. Floors & kitchen were dirty, including dishes that were in cabinet. Coffee maker was nasty and didn’t work properly.
