Cabin on Columbine Lake/Lake Purgatory Dr Create Family Memories Fishing & Boats
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.

Wonderful place to spend time. The views from all over the house are spectacular. Im partial to the back deck, the kitchen and the heated bathroom floors!
We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at the "lodge"! The hosts and caretaker were very welcoming and helpful. The log home is absolutely beautiful, and it provided everything we needed to enjoy a wonderful vacation with our family. The large kitchen was a big plus... We had enough room for everyone to help with the cooking! We enjoyed fishing on the lake, dips in the hot tub and taking walks that provided amazing views! We definitely recommend this house and hope to come back next year.
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!
Our family had the best time… the views are incredible, and the house is so thoughtfully appointed! We really enjoyed spending time on the deck and soaking in the hot tub after skiing just across the way! We will definitely be back!
The property was stunning! The house and owners/managers were very accommodating. It was stocked with a lot more than most places we’ve stayed and we couldn’t have asked for a better place for our ski trip! Loved every minute of our stay!
Wonderful location on private lake! Great views, fishing and access to towns of Durango, Silverton and Ouray. Would definitely consider staying there again!
The house was bigger and better than we thought, very close to Purgatory ski resort less than 5 min from it, balcony with amazing lake view and Jacuzzi , I recommended 100% and I would like to use it again
We enjoyed this house so much! So much to do close by and a great place to just relax! The owners were absolutely amazing. Thank you for sharing your home!
Second time staying at this beautiful place, as always the owners and caretaker are there if you need anything.Will def return next year for our ski/snowboarding trip.Thanks again for your hospitality.
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!
Our 2nd stay in this home! We love it! Beautiful view, close to the ski resort, lots of space, very clean, and the house management is quick to respond and so kind! Cant wait to come back next year!
this house was absolutely amazing. we are very outdoor oriented people and this house was truly one we will remember for the rest of our lives and was an awesome way to kick off our marriage.
Great house for a family! We visit Purg every year for several weeks with our teenage boys. Well stocked house in a perfect location to head to the mountain, hiking, the Nugget, The Lift, sledding, etc… Michael the property manager was so helpful and responsive throughout our trip.
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.
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!
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.
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.
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!
We had such an amazing time at this beautiful home and property. As many have stated, the views from all the windows are stunning. My family and I have stayed at many VRBO houses throughout the years and none have been as fully supplied with every accommodation possible as this one. Joe,Marcia and Michael are very thorough and great people to work with. We would definitely come back here again.
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...
