Easy to find and is in a great location for all sorts of activities in the area. Quiet area with abundant wildflowers and a pond. It was a perfect location for our small family wedding.
We absolutely loved this cabin! The location was close enough to Purgatory, but still secluded in the beautiful forest. The cabin itself is extremely updated and luxurious!
We had the best time on our trip. The hosts are very helpful with clear instructions. The house has extremely comfy beds and stocked with just about everything you need.
We had a great stay overall! The cabin was very nice, clean, and well stocked with everything we needed, which definitely came in handy during our trip. The host was also very responsive and easy to communicate with, which we really appreciated.The only reasons for 4 stars instead of 5 were a couple minor issues. The hot water (only the hot water) had a noticeable odor that was off-putting to some of our guests, although it didn’t bother me quite as much. Additionally, the temperature in the home was a bit difficult to regulate—it tended to be either too warm or too cold—but opening the doors helped when it got too warm.Overall, we enjoyed our stay and appreciated the thoughtful touches and great communication from the host.
This was one of the best homes we rented ever on vacation. Great location, beautiful and spacious home. Property owner was also great and gave us great suggestions for hikes within walking distance from home for swimming, waterfalls and great views. Only regret is we did not stay longer.
This property was perfect for our group of two families. It sits in a great location at a high elevation between Durango and Silverton. The house is tucked away amongst Aspen trees, and wildlife frequents the property. The hot tub adds a relaxing touch after a day of jeeping or hiking. The house was clean and spacious.
The house is amazing and in an awesome location just north of Purgatory Ski Resort. The home backs up to the beautiful national forest. There are numerous hiking trails nearby and Cascade Canyon waterfall hike is a must! The drive in and out can be tricky if you do not have a 4 wheel drive or snow chains during the winter. Overall we loved it and would definitely consider staying here again if we come back to Purgatory!
Beautiful location tucked into the trees… very private. Our family of 7 had a great time here with plenty of room for everyone. There was good communication with the host. The property felt very clean. If you’re booking this property in the winter, definitely take serious having the appropriate vehicle. While we were there 3 cars got stuck on the road in front and had to be towed out and there hadn’t been any fresh snow in weeks. Great place to stay and we would definitely stay here again.
Spent our 36th Anniversary in a lovely cabin surrounded by beautiful mountains. The mountain get a way was the perfect place. I would highly recommend a visit.
The house was absolutely amazing and is in great location to so many outdoor activities. We loved sitting on the decks enjoying the outdoors while watching the hummingbirds. So many great hikes nearby!
You can tell the owners take good care of their beautiful cabin! All the personal touches and amenities made our stay comfortable and memorable! Close to purgatory and lots of outdoor activities!

Absolutely gorgeous, peaceful and amazing. Highly recommend this property the hosts have thought of everything. There wasn’t a need that wasn’t taken care of. If your looking for peace you will find it here.
Mountain Getaway is exactly the right description! We had a special event to celebrate and this setting was perfect for our very small gathering. It suited the needs of our stay just perfectly ! Word to the wise - don’t use more than one shower at once. The hot water runs out fast!
We couldn’t be happier with the house. Everything about our stay was just about perfect. I think my favorite aspect was our ability to walk out our front door and hike up to potato lake. Short drive to purgatory ski resort for summer fun. Not too far to Durango or Silverton. My son summitef two mountains, and we all hiked a whole bunch. Again, great place, very comfortable, and just a great family experience for all of us!
Very wonderful house to stay for a family or couple. The house is just off the highway and has excellent privacy as you barely can see any neighbors through the woods. House is in excellent shape with plenty of kitchen stuff. Bedding was excellent and we really loved staying here and seeing the fall colors. Highly recommend this house.
This property is beautiful. Would highly recommend to anyone looking to get away to the mountains. Very relaxing.
Host answered all questions immediately and was very accommodating. Absolutely, NO complaints.
Our first experience with a VRBO rental and it could not have been any more amazing. The house is beautiful. The property itself makes the house even better. Views for days. We loved sitting at just taking the views in while having coffee. Great communication with the owner, clear checkin process. 5 stars all around. We'll be back. Thanks again!
