The Copper Bungalow | Walk to Purgatory Ski Lift - Deck, Fireplace

Welcome to The Copper Bungalow (Purgatory Townhomes #110), a cozy studio just steps from Purgatory’s main ski lifts and plaza. With its unbeatable walk‑to‑lift location, charming copper fireplace, and mountain views from the private deck, this inviting retreat is the perfect base for your Durango adventure—whether you’re skiing, hiking, or simply soaking in the fresh alpine air. Inside, you’ll find a full kitchen equipped with everything you need, a comfortable living area warmed by a freestanding wood stove, and a full bathroom with a tub/shower combo and spacious vanity.

The location was great, however the unit itself needs a bit of TLC. Random small things that are broken (curtain rod, wooden block holding up half the couch, drawer to desk broken).
