Special Winter rates across from Purgatory Ski Area.

Durango, Colorado holds the beauty of a vanished world. It is the most tranquil place mixed with history, recreation, and unerasable memories. Our 2600+ square foot custom home on 20 acres is nestled in the mountains overlooking beautiful Columbine Lake. The brilliance of Engineer and Spud Mountain can be seen to the North, and to the East the Animas River which flows through the La Plata Mountains.

The home was created by the hands of a master with each window intricately creating a new view of the lake. Giant doors lead you onto a deck where you'll find a hot tub that you can soak in after your daily activities. At night the sky is so black, you'll feel like you're sitting under an umbrella of stars. The night is so peaceful you can hear the fish in the water. You'll be located at an elevation of 9000 feet somewhere in the vicinity of the gods. The interior is very comfortable with all luxurious amenities that will connect you back to the real world. Now that you've found the perfect place to visit, look no further for a place to stay.

You can walk out and fish for rainbow, brook and brown trout in the backyard. We have a boat you can take out to fish the lake. Boat agreement provided. It is a private lake so you won't see many others. Fishing gear available, you must use catch and release hooks. Summer is the busy season in Durango, you can ride the train, hike, bike, bobsled at the ski area across the street, horseback riding, gold panning or rest and read a book. We are 26 miles north of Durango. If you have any questions please feel free to call. Experience Durango, Colorado.
**We do not allow private boats, kayaks, paddle boards, etc to protect the lake from zebra mussels. Please speak to owners about lake needs.
“In the winter, a 4WD/AWD vehicle equipped with snow tires or chains is required in this area, please be prepared.”

Spring Break Stay

We loved our stay at this cabin! Lots of room to spread out and very close to Purgatory for skiing. This was our second stay here, and I’m a little sad that it is already fully booked in July or we would come back this summer. Thank you for another fantastic stay!

Perfect summer vacation spot

We had a wonderful vacation here. The location is perfect - it’s nice and quiet, and the lake is beautiful. It’s easy to visit Durango, Silverton, and Ouray from this spot. The house is comfortable and had everything we needed. We enjoyed fishing in the lake, and sightseeing around the area. We will definitely be back next year!

Great Thanksgiving week vacation

We stayed at this property just before Thanksgiving. We had a fantastic time. Very spacious home with all the amenities our family needed. Big kitchen with everything we needed to cook our meals. Caretaker Michael was very responsive and helpful. He did a fantastic job decorating the home for Christmas! Location was very private and beautiful. The hot tub was wonderful.

Second Stay

This was our second stay at this beautiful home. We had such a blast playing in the snow and enjoying the views. The house is stocked with everything including extra blankets, pillows, towels, soap in the bathrooms, and fans. The kitchen has more than enough pans, utensils, and dishes. We’ve been to lots of vacation houses and this one continues to sit at the top of our list. Not to mention the host and caretaker are very easy to communicate with. We hope to be back for a third time!

Perfect Ski Lodge

There was a surplus of dishes, towels, and linens for our 3 family group! The property manager was helpful and available with any questions we had. He was willing to come over to help if needed. The house was clean, plenty big and the perfect location to get some time on the mountain without a long drive up & back. It was super convenient being 5 minutes from the parking lot & made it easy when we had people wanting to go back early. The view was awesome, can’t wait to come back during the summer sometime and see the view without all the snow!

Great property for Family Turkey Day !!!!

We were in town visiting our daughter who lives in a small house and needed some extra room for the family and friends. The house was well stocked with everything we need to cook our Turkey dinner. The views and location of the property was amazing. We skied at Purg and did Apres at The Nugget which is so close to the house. The beds were very comfy and the wood burning furnace was very efficient. The hot tub was also relaxing after skiing and hikes in the area. The best part was the amazing views of the lake during morning coffee. We are for sure staying here next time we are in need. We highly recommend you stay here. Can't wait to stay during the summer or spring...

Another Amazing Stay

This was our 4th time staying at The Purgatory Lodge. Mike was super responsive and easy to deal with. The property is well maintained and clean. We really enjoyed using the paddle boats to fish and explore the beautiful lake. Spa on deck with amazing lake views was really nice to relax in after a day of hiking or fishing. Kitchen was well stocked and had everything we needed. We definitely will be back in the future. What a special place to relax and enjoy nature.

Lake purgatory getaway

We had a fantastic time at this beautiful Cabin. The view was incredible, and the leaves were stunning. We spent hours fishing the lake, pulling out a number of big rainbows, and Brookies. Enjoyed cooking in the full-size kitchen, and enjoying time in the hot tub, looking at the stars. The owner was incredibly, responsive, and attentive to our our every need. We had a great time, and would love to go back someday.

Very enjoyable. Fishing was great. Loved the peddle boats. There are no kayaks which was a bummer since it was listed on the site. We left ours at home. Saw a lot of wildlife. With having all the siblings there, we celebrated our 45th wedding anniversary. The Purgatory Lodge will not be forgotten!!! Thank you so much

Our home away from home

We love this property so much we keep coming back. It has become part of our family’s Christmas tradition and has definitely helped our little military family unwind and bond in between our kid’s deployments. The owners and caretaker always go over and beyond for us. They have truly been blessings in our lives. We are already missing being there and have started to plan our next trip. Thank you for always making it special for us!
