About this house rental
The city of Durango and Purgatory Mountain Resort in southwest Colorado is an area devoted to an active outdoor lifestyle. Nestled in the San Juan National Forest, this western town is where the high desert meets the high alpine.
Blackjack Lodge sits atop sloping cliffs overlooking Lake Purgatory, with sweeping views of the Hermosa Cliffs, Spud, Engineer and Needles Mountains from its large picture windows. Surrounded by groves of pine and aspen trees, it affords complete privacy, though conveniently located just one mile south of Durango Mountain Resort.
The large, open-plan family room has stunning views, a massive sandstone propane fireplace and state-of-the-art entertainment complete with Sony 51' Surround Sound TV, DVD/CD, VCR and Stereo. A second family room (the 'Bear Den') with 2-Twin Trundle Bed, TV, DVD, a regulation-size billiard table and also a ping-pong table is located in the basement, adjacent to the fourth bedroom which is outfitted with two sets of bunk beds and the location makes it an ideal room for the kids. All king and queen beds have modal or bamboo linens and goose down comforters to ensure a cozy and comfortable night's rest!
A wonderful bonus after a day of outdoor activities is the Hot Springs Spa 6 person hot tub on the covered deck. Luxuriate in its soothing warmth while taking in the stunning lake and mountain views and cool, clean mountain air. At night, the stars seem almost touchable.
Our home is that wonderful combination of rusticity and luxury. The bedrooms are comfortable and private, and the family areas are well appointed with fine leather couches. Ceiling fans in every room and radiant-heated floors make it comfortable throughout the year. Our location offers you a choice between the dozens of activities available in the area, or complete seclusion - whichever kind of vacation you seek.

Incredible views. The house is spacious and well suited to large groups. Nice to have the hot tub, pool table and ping pong table for entertainment without leaving the house. We were fortunate to have good weather but the road up to the house could definitely be a challenge in inclement weather(as is well pointed out in the property’s description)

The pictures do not do this properly justice! We had the most fantastic week here! The house comes very well equipped with all the little things you’d typically forget to take on vacation. Your heart will ache when it’s time to leave this piece of heaven on earth!

Beautiful home. Very private and peaceful! We really enjoyed our stay and will be staying here again! Plenty of room, fully stocked. Owners thought of everything to make our stay enjoyable. Best part was sitting on the large back deck in the early morning hours, drinking hot tea and watching the humming birds.

First off, the property has a stunning view and location. However, beds don't match description. We planned on two queen beds for our party, however, they were full size beds. Also, it is NOT an 11 min walk to Purgatory and you must have 4WD in winter, which is not mentioned in description.This home did not feel clean. One of the beds (upstairs full) did not smell like the blankets were clean. The floor of that room also had debris and had not been vacuumed. All pillows were mismatched, old and stained. Same w/bathroom rugs. There were very large cobwebs that no one cleaned up in the living room w/dead spider. There were little kid hand prints on the large window, kitchen cabinets dirty. The hot tub smelled like mildew, unsure if chemicals had been added prior to our stay, or if this is from the cover.Overall, we were very disappointed and uncomfortable with the cleanliness. We all also felt this home is in much need of updating and deep cleaning. Owner was receptive to notification of these issues.
