Largest Black Bear Townhome - Hot Tub - EV Charger - Ski Shuttle
Black Bear townhome (Unit 66) is located directly across from Purgatory Ski Area and is a perfect base camp for your vacation no matter the season. The townhome features 3 bedrooms & 3 baths and is the largest unit type in the Black Bear complex. The gourmet kitchen with granite counter tops and stainless steel appliances includes a bar with seating and opens to the main living space and dining area.
The master bedroom features a gas fireplace and balcony with a hot tub (occupancy 2) and the townhome also features a washer/dryer (laundry detergent provided) and a 2 car garage (with a level 2 Tesla Charger) with 2 additional parking spots in front of the garage. Enjoy views of the ski slopes from either deck.
The townhome home is part of the resort so you have access to free on-demand shuttle service to Purgatory Ski Resort but since it is across the highway you have the privacy and additional space a townhome affords (it’s part of a duplex). At 8,900 feet of elevation, the home is a gateway to an amazing winter playground and also serves as the perfect summer retreat, with a million acres of national forest land at your doorstep offering all your favorite mountain activities. It’s only a 2 minute walk to Twilight Lake for fishing and paddle boarding and as well as Purgatory Flats Trailhead, one of the most scenic hikes in the San Juan Mountains. Horseback riding, jeep trails, an alpine slide, epic mountain biking and the Purgatory Inferno Mountain Coaster are all less than 5 minutes from the home.
Bed Configuration (All Bedrooms are on the 2nd floor) Master Bedroom-King with Ensuite Bath 2nd Bedroom- King 3rd Bedroom - Queen and Bunk Bed (Single over Single)

Beautiful spot
The condo was clean, nice kitchen and cooking was very easy. Views are spectacular. The hot tub was difficult to use since the cover is in poor shape and hard to take off and on. Washer and dryer excellent. Fans provided so it was always comfortable with the windows open. Nice walk in shower in Master as well as main floor bathroom. Keurig coffee maker as well as a drip coffee maker. Gas stove and oven, large fridge with ice maker, nice dishwasher. Living furniture nice but not very comfortable. TV worked great.
