We enjoyed the tranquil setting and the on site amenities. Figure about 30 minutes in to downtown Durango in the summer months. Can’t beat the views on the drive though!

Condo between Durango and Purgatory

We chose this location based on the proximity to both Durango and Purgatory resort. The drive was about 10 minutes to Purgatory and 20 minutes to Durango, which was perfect. The unit was clean and well equipped; it had pretty much everything we needed. It had a small, but well-equipped kitchen. It had a full-sized washer and dryer.

Wonderful place!

The condo was perfect for our group of 6. The kids loved the upstairs loft. We had plenty of room to relax, cook, and play. Our 7 year old loved the cabinet full of games. Everything was spacious and comfortable! We enjoyed the pool, hot tub and small playground. The location and views were beautiful!

Great place for families

Nice property! The master bedroom is very comfortable. The condo was very clean and quiet. The amenities at the club are excellent. Only "con" was that the stove and oven are smaller than standard appliances, but not a big deal.

Beautiful Views & Maintenance issues

Washer & dryer broken, no lights in the master, tv broken in the master and one really rude bartender. But hey other than that it was great. The views were amazing.
