Fun Get Away
We enjoyed our stay at the condo! It was spacious and the beds were comfy. The view of Potato Mountain is lovely. The kitchen is well-appointed and the kids enjoyed the pool and game room. My only criticism is in the first impression of the unit. The door opens into a narrow, run-down staircase. As soon as you go up the stairs, the actual entry and the rest of the condo is nice. Thank you for a great stay. We hope to return in the future!

Mr
We had the pleasure of staying at this charming VRBO condo the week before Christmas, and it was an absolute dream! Nestled in the heart of ski country, the location couldn’t have been more perfect for our ski adventures.
The condo itself was a delightful surprise. The living area was spacious enough for two families (group of 9), with a cozy fireplace that became our favorite gathering spot after long days on the slopes.
The bedrooms were wonderfully comfortable, offering restful nights of sleep. Each morning, we woke up to stunning views of snow-capped mountains, which added to the magic of our stay.
The kitchen was fully equipped, making it easy to prepare hearty breakfasts before heading out. In the evenings, we enjoyed cooking together and sharing meals.
What set this place apart was the attention to detail and thoughtful amenities provided by the hosts. From the ski storage area to the selection of board games, everything was thoughtfully curated to ensure a memorable and enjoyable stay.
The proximity to the ski resorts was a major plus. We appreciated the short and scenic drives to some of the best slopes in the area.
In summary, this condo was more than just a place to stay; it was a key part of our wonderful ski trip experience. We left with cherished memories and look forward to returning next ye

Great accommodation
Good location. Lots of space for 7 adults. Wish the wall outlets were better, there were plenty but they were so loose you had to hold the plug in to make contact. Makes for an uneasy feeling about safety.

PERFECT
I cannot say enough great things about our stay here. Not only was it absolutely PERFECT for every single person in our family which included: My husband & I, our 15 year old daughter, our 6 year old daughter & my Father-in-law. We booked it thinking our 18 & 13 year old would be with us, but they ended up being out of town this week. Even then, the townhouse would have been spacious enough. The view was ABSOLUTELY INCREDIBLE!!!
It was a bit out of town though. I would definitely suggest stopping by the store on your way there to stock up on groceries, and keep a list handy that you can add to so you can grab things while you're already in town. It is definitely worth it though! We were able to see layers & layers of stars because of how far out we were. Our 15 year old said, "I can actually see the Milky Way out here! I am trying not to cry!"
The townhouse had everything we needed. All we had to do was go to the grocery store. If you are an Instant Pot person bring one with you. Other than that, they had everything!! They even left instructions for how to use each TV. It was beautifully decorated. There is a pool & restaurant, but honestly it was so cozy that we didn't use the pool or restaurant once & we love to swim!
They were also extremely hospitable and available LATE at night. By the time we got there and got the kids & their things inside, unloaded, fed everyone etc. It was probably 10pm or later. The wifi wasn't working so the tvs weren't working. They were available to answer our calls & texts. Which was very nice!!! It does sound like it is run more like apartments or condos with maintenance workers (obviously wifi is NOT an emergency lol) but she did her absolute best to help guide us & put a work order in for 1st thing the next morning. As a heads up - the router is by the downstairs sliding door inside the stand 😉
We are so grateful for our stay here. We are absolutely going back & are hoping for the exact same townhouse. Thank you so much to the owners & staff!! You are amazing. What a beautiful & truly majestic view!

Absolutely wonderful!
I truly cannot say enough good things about this property! It was impeccably clean, fully stocked with everything we needed (minus food, of course), was in a great location, and had a magnificent view. It had a great kitchen with all the tools we needed to make several home-cooked meals. We used this condo as our “base camp” while we visited Durango, Ouray and even Telluride. It was within driving distance to all and was such a nice space to come “home” to each night.
I feel like the best rental properties are those that anticipate your needs and strive to meet them. This owner did just that! We will absolutely be staying here again and I plan to recommend it to anyone I know visiting the area.

This condo was spacious, well stocked and in a perfect location to take day trips to several different surrounding towns. The community pool and game room was a favorite and I’d the day activity for the kids. The bunk room was perfect for our four girls and the pull out couch upstairs was great for our boys. I’d definitely recommend this condo to anyone.

Great condo near Purgatory
We rented this condo for a ski trip to Purgatory. Four family members, all adults. The location was perfect - just a 5 minute drive to Purgatory. There are some close by options for dinner, but you're going to want to drive down to Durango and try some of the amazing food choices like Carver Brewing and Himalayan Kitchen
This condo is very well-stocked for a ski vacation. Kitchen had everything we needed for coffee and breakfast, including filters for the Mr Coffee. Thanks for that thoughtful touch!
There is ski storage at ground level in the entrance, which is also really convenient.
I also have to give a special thanks to the property management staff that helped find and return an item we left behind. It's so great to work with customer care people that really go the extra mile to make everything right!
All in all, a great condo, super location, and wonderful experience.
