About this property

Entire place

You'll have the entire home to yourself and will only share it with other guests in your party.

Secluded Modern Home on 132 Acres, 2 Miles to Purgatory Ski Area

Our 1,500 sq ft, 2 bedroom (queen beds), 2 bath, custom home was built in 2007 and offers the most privacy and seclusion of any property near Purgatory Ski Area as it sits on 132 acres, yet is less than 2 miles from the ski resort, and 25 miles from downtown Durango.

The gourmet kitchen has stainless steel appliances. The main living space and master bedroom feature 55 inch flat screen TV's with 5.1 surround sound. The leather couch in the main living space converts to an incredibly comfortable and supportive queen bed. The large covered porch is a great place for lounging and watching the sun disappear over the mountains in the evening. The house is surrounded front and back with Colorado Rocky Mountain Wildflowers.

The property boarders the Weminuche National Forest to the North and East, which is the largest and most unused wilderness area in North America. There are numerous lakes and ponds on the property, and a road to higher elevations where the views of the surrounding mountains and lakes are spectacular.

If you bring your dog, it will have a great time chasing wildlife and playing in the forest.

If you need more space, we have a 3 Bedroom 3 bath on the property about 1/4 mile from this house.

A 4WD/AWD with snow rated tires is required November through March. If you plan to drive a vehicle not so equipped, please book elsewhere. Although the roads are extremely well maintained, we want to ensure our neighbors are not adversely impacted by our guests who may not regularly drive on snow packed roads.

We love dogs, as long as they are well behaved, and get along with people and other dogs. Sky runs free on the property.

Mountain retreat

This is not a mountain "cabin", but rather a well-built home with a welcoming feel and modern appliances. We told Sean, who was a great support to us, that we didn't want to leave because it was just perfect. We would love to come back again in the future.

Great location to Purgatory skiing, beautiful surroundings

We stayed here between Christmas and New Years 2016 - great place! The house is in an awesome spot to enjoy Purgatory Mountain. House is secluded, very clean, and everything you need. We always appreciate properties that have some basic items in the pantry (spices, sugar, etc) and this one had it! Would love to come back in the summer and enjoy the lakes and hiking trails. Owners were very easy to communicate with.

Great privacy without being far away!

We loved this house! It was clean and supplied with everything we needed. The layout is perfect and each bedroom has it's own bathroom. Sean is a great host and stopped by to say hi. There was room for our 2 dogs to play in the snow. This house is tucked away where you have privacy but isn't far from anything. Our favorite part is the AWESOME front porch!! We'll be back!

Slice of Heaven.

Sean’s property is absolutely a gem. His efforts to create a green self sustainable lifestyle is very impressive, the fact he openly shares with others, speaks volumes of his kindness. His attention to detail is incredible, the greenhouse was built with wisdom and space for a vast variety of vegetation. The cabins are very well thought out with quality windows, bug screens and solar power. The serenity of being spaced out and immersed in nature is priceless. The views up top overlooking the southern lakes are stunning and his view of Engineer mountain and the northern peaks is phenomenal. My dogs loved being able to explore the property and say hi to sky. One day we hiked from the cabin down to the confluence where the train runs through the purgatory flat trail and back, his property backs up to the gorge that trail runs through. Highly recommended, cleanliness and attention to detail are on display. Thank you Sean!

Autumn Getaway

Lovely Property, cabin is as described with everything we needed to enjoy 10 days in the mountains. With a well equipped kitchen we enjoyed cooking in, to a great deck to sit an read, watch wildlife (deer) and BBQ. We walked on the property and enjoyed the view of Electra Lake. A few day Trips to Durango and Ouray/Silverton. Communication with Sean was great, he was very helpful when we wants to add a few days prior to arrival. The instructions and directions given before arrival were clear so we had no issues finding the Cabin. Thank you Sean, we wil see you next year.

Third Stay on Property

This is our third stay on this amazing property in the last year. As always, we loved every minute. The home is exactly as described and always perfectly clean. Our two labs love walking and exploring and our two boys played in the snow every minute we weren’t skiing. Close proximity to Purgatory and we easily left each morning and parked in the lower lot without issue (even during a crazy busy week on the mountain). Thank you for another great stay! Highly recommend!!

Alone in the woods

What a perfect fall getaway. A secluded cabin in the woods with all the comforts of home. So nice to get up in the middle of the night and your feet land on a warm floor and it's 20 degrees outside. Internet was very slow but it was good to be out of touch for a while. Also a great location if you are a skier.

Mountain exploring

We were looking to get away from the craziness of city life to disconnect. This property did not disappoint. Sean was a perfect host and provided tips and suggestions for hikes and mtb rides in the area as well as letting us explore the property. Bring your climbing legs for some amazing mtb fun. Oh, and be sure to check out the sound system; we hooked up our Bose speakers are were blown away by the acoustics!

Private paradise

I’m reluctant to give it 5 stars because I don’t want this place bombarded or reserved the next time we want to stay!! Lol. Excellent property. Excellent management. The pictures do not do it justice. This is a perfect solitude place for couples, a perfect place for families, and a perfect place for just wanting to hang out with friends. We loved it and we will be back.

Amazing hideaway location!

This was our 3rd stay ( I think ) at this location. Needless to say, we have enjoyed our stays at both of the houses on this property. The host / owner is awesome - and just generally a great guy. Super responsive, friendly, and all that, plus, plus, plus. The places are beautiful, immaculate and fully stocked with everything you might need and then some. if you're clicking around looking for places, stop considering this one or others nearby, just book this one now before it's gone because I'm sure by now Sean has built a list of "faithful" customers are are coming back and will book early ... just like we have.
