About this house rental
Our Black Bear townhome (Unit 59) is located directly across from Purgatory Resort and is a perfect basecamp for your vacation no matter the season. The townhome features 3 bedrooms (all with TVs) and 2.5 bathrooms with a ping pong table in the garage. The gourmet kitchen with stainless steel appliances includes a bar with seating and opens to the main living space and dining area. Enjoy great views of Engineer Mountain and 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:
Master Bedroom - King Bed with TV and Ensuite Bath (2nd Floor)
2nd Bedroom - Queen & Bunk Bed with TV (Single over Single) (2nd Floor)
3rd Bedroom - Twin over Double bunk bed with TV (Single over Double) (2nd Floor)
This home is pet friendly! We allow a maximum of 2 dogs max and the pet fee is $40/day (for a max $250 per stay).
The 4% resort fee included in the quote is the required resort fee that must be charged and does not allow access to the Durango Mountain Club. For an additional (and optional) 4% resort fee, you will have access to the Durango Mountain Club which includes an outdoor heated pool with slide, outdoor hot tub and workout facility. When booking, just advise if you would like us to add the additional 4% resort fee.
Book at least a week and a 10% discount is automatically applied (Excludes Christmas/New Years).
Stay with us and we offer DISCOUNTS on both summer (white water rafting, horseback riding etc.) and winter (ski/snowboard rentals, sleigh rides, snowmobile tours etc.) activities.

It was very nice. The description was a little deceiving in that it said we had use of pool and hot tub but we had to pay extra to get a pass across the street. Overall very clean, carpets need to be cleaned.

Reviewer Comments:
Stayed at Black Bear 59 for a week to ski with our family of 5. Condo has beautiful views and the free shuttle pick up / drop off to the resort was quick and easy for us. We used the grill, and kitchen had all the resources needed for cooking. Internet was painfully slow, our kids missed school for a week while skiing, and needed to turn in a few assignments electronically. The wifi was not ever strong enough for my kids to access the needed materials or send communication to their teachers, we ended up using our personal hotspots for this instead. TV was also painfully slow. Watched a couple of movies in the evening, and buffering was an issue. My husband had to update the downstairs TV in order to access the basic cable channels to watch the Super Bowl. Pet hair was an issue too. We love animals and do not have a problem with rentals being pet friendly. However, pet hair was absolutely everywhere. 1 of my kiddos and I do have certain allergies to pet hair and were coughing, wheezing & sneezing all week. I ended up getting allergy medicine for us, which helped. The blankets provided had hair all over them, and we could not sit on the floor due to the hair. The bathrooms and kitchen were clean, but it felt like everywhere else had not been properly vacuumed or dusted - due to the quantity of pet hair we experienced. Like I mentioned, we love animals but if allergies are an issue, I would consider looking elsewhere to stay. Other than the wifi and issues with pet-allergies, we loved our time at Purgatory and the condo suited our family nicely.
