Great location, plenty of room for our family, parking was adequate. Kitchen lacked some needed utensils, we bought what we needed and left it for the next person. Had a great time.

This is our 3rd year in a row renting this home. Perfect for large family. Great location!
Stayed here in Feb 2024 with my Sister's family and my own. We had several young, beginner skiers and this location could not have been better. The bunny slopes were mere feet away. The cabin was spotless and offered more than enough beds and bathrooms for our needs. Would definitely stay again.

The townhouse is very spacious,room for everyone on 3 levels, clean and has beautiful mountain views. The 2 balconies were great. Just minutes away we enjoyed the Alpine slide, the scenic chair lift, gold panning and small shops. Andy and Erika were very helpful and responsive.The Wi-Fi was pretty slow and if you park in the garage, you can hardly go around the car to get into the house. It's a 2 car garage, but a large truck is parked in. We decided to park our 2 cars in front of the garage.Thank you for a great vacation!
The property very well, excellent location, everything very good, but all the dishes very dirty, it is disgusting to see spoons, glasses, cups, all very dirty.

Alpenglow 18 fit our family perfectly! It was comfortable, convenient, clean and well stocked. During the week, we had a few questions for the property manager and their response was immediate. We were in a perfect place to drive into Durango, as well as to take the beautiful drive to Ouray! We also took advantage of the amenities offered right there (the pool plus the summer activity package) and had a blast! Would recommend a stay in Alpenglow 18!
The property was beautiful and as pictured. Wonderful views out the living room/dining room windows.
It is truly ski-in/out. You see the Graduate lift from the master bedroom. To ski, you simply take a short (50 foot) walk across the parking lot, put your skis on and ski down to the Graduate lift. Since all tickets are purchased online and picked up at the ticket office or ski rental, it is good to know that there is a ticket office at the bottom of the hill.
Each bedroom has an ensuite bathroom. The loft was private but you had to use the bathroom in the bedroom or go downstairs to the half bath.
Negatives were that the dining room table is rather small for a 4+ bedroom home, the gas stove and family room gas fireplace are rather temperamental, and the dishwasher (even when using the additive that was supplied and basically scrubbing the dishes before use) was ineffective. Even with these negatives I would rent there again. The staff was helpful and easy to access.

Rented a 4 bdrm home for ski/fly fishing vacation. 1st night fixing dinner, we have 2 of 4 burners going and oven at 350 degrees baking chicken. The range malfunctions and shuts off. We were able to get the burners to light, but no oven to cook chicken, which everyone likes served medium-rare, right? The solution from Durango Collection-VRC was for us to walk our 350 degree glass corningware dishes across snow and ice to an empty unit 8 sections away. No Thanks. I see how that ends up, with us on our backs covered in hot chicken, cream sauce, and glass. Then 2 nights later, every member of house was awakened to smoke detectors going off in unison due to a low battery, which continued for almost an hour until we were able to determine which battery was low. We did this by removing all the detectors off the ceiling until it stopped. No discount was offered and instead, they charged us a pet fee for a Seizure Response Medical Service Dog, which was discussed at the time of reservation with Durango Collection-VRC. I specifically asked for a manager to call me and 4 days later, NO phone call, NO discount. AND STILL NO REFUND FOR MY HUSBAND'S MEDICAL SERVICE DOG.

Great location and beautiful place! Fully stocked with things that helped us through our stay. Only complaint I had was the bottom floor thermostat not working. This is where our kids slept and it stayed extremely cold. Thermostats need to be fully functioning in extreme climates
Alpenglow 18 is a very clean, upscale contemporary four bedroom unit. The kitchen is stocked with about anything a family would need with plenty of utensils, china, electronic appliances (some that I have never seen in other condos). The dishwasher however did not do a good job and we had to hand wash plates to get them clean. The bedrooms are clean and very comfortable. The fact that they are separated on three floors (master on three, second master on two, and two smaller ones on level one) is a plus for privacy and quiet. The two car garage on level one was convenient to the kitchen area upstairs on level two. This unit worked well for us since we were not skiing but playing golf in the four corners area. The unit is down the hill from the base ski area and the six person ski lift up the mountain at the base. All in all we were very pleased with the ambiance of the unit.
Great location and plenty of room for the kids. The gameroom upstairs was a major plus. Kids played upstairs and adults enjoyed the main living. We walk to all the amenities on the mountain - pool, roller coaster and slide! Great fun, would stay again!
Beautiful, spacious condo within a few hundred feet of Purgatory ski lift. The most completely furnished kitchen of any condo we have ever stayed in. Felt like we had walked into a cozy home that was occupied by a large family. Full size washer/dryer, two fireplaces, plenty of seating for meals. Very nice balcony with fire pit and large grill. Only problem we found was that the third floor bath spigot did not work. Bear visited patio so best to keep glass doors (not just the screen) closed on base floor.
Possibly one of the best locations on the mountain. Literally ski in and out, to the front door. No need for overnight ski storage! Bedroom configuration was good with several kids. Overall a good find
High expectations met! Convenient to the slopes and local restaurants. Management was easy to work with. Property was generally clean, though some silverware needed attention.

spacious and very handy to the lift, just a hundred feet out the garage to snow to ski down to lift that takes you to main chair. Living room furniture not particularly comfortable, but two large tubs made for good soaks after skiing. A bit of a problem with the fireplaces, but nothing major.

Great Family Christmas and this house wasPerfect! Well equipped, amazing sleeping space, and beautiful views! We will definitely be back!!
Property was fantastic well suited in location and well appointed in amenities we appreciated all four bedrooms had en suite bathrooms One suggestion I would make for guests in the future is ensure that you kick on the radiant floor heating in the downstairs immediately upon arrival because it does take some time to warm up (this is for cold season season climates only.)Location was perfect for an enjoyable holiday and some snowboarding for the family
