Where the Mountain Getaways Sit
These thirteen homes are in North Durango — the corridor between town and the ski hill.
Closest to the lifts, four sit at Cascade Village: Aspen Run (3 bed / 3 bath, 2,200 sq ft, sleeps eight), Casa Norte (3 bed townhome, sleeps ten, two-car garage), Cascade Dream and Cascade Hideaway (both 2 bed / 2 bath, 1,110 sq ft). About two miles from Purgatory, with shared building hot tubs.
Silverpick adds two condos with San Juan National Forest views: Happy Pick (2 bed, loft, takes two dogs) and Rocky Mountain Hideaway (2 bed, 1,125 sq ft).
Farther into the pines, Electra Lake holds Aspen Grove (5 bed, sleeps fourteen, Hermosa Cliffs views) and Spruce Mesa Cabin (3 bed, private hot tub, takes two dogs). Lake Purgatory has Lake Purgatory Family Lodge (4 bed / 3.5 bath, 3,300 sq ft, sleeps twelve) and The Wren’s Nest (3 bed, sleeps eight, pet friendly).
Three more cabins sit just south of the resort: All Decked Out (2 bed, 2,600 sq ft, private hot tub, two dogs, about two minutes to Purgatory), Double J Cabin (2 bed, pond-view deck, eight minutes to the resort, pet friendly — 31 reviews) and Heavenly Daze (3 bed, private hot tub, 43 reviews). If you need to be ski-in, ski-out on the hill itself, switch to Purgatory ski-in ski-out rentals or Purgatory vacation homes — those are a different location area.

Cabin in the Pines or Condo at Cascade?
Decide on which corridor you want to stay in first. Cascade Village and Silverpick put you in a condo or townhome within a few miles of the lifts, with shared building hot tubs and mountain views from the deck — start with Aspen Run, Casa Norte, Happy Pick or Rocky Mountain Hideaway. The cabins trade that for private yards, fire pits and more square footage per guest: All Decked Out, Heavenly Daze, Double J, Spruce Mesa and Aspen Grove.
If the dog is coming, five of these thirteen are on the pet-friendly list. If a private tub is non-negotiable, filter the grid for hot tub or open the full Durango hot tub rentals set. Want logs specifically? Cross-check Durango cabins. Groups that need five or six bedrooms should also look at large vacation rentals in Durango — Aspen Grove (sleeps 14) and Lake Purgatory Family Lodge (sleeps 12) already sit in this North Durango bucket.

Eleven of these thirteen homes have a hot tub — private on the cabins and lodges, shared at Cascade and Silverpick. Twelve have a fireplace. Every unit includes a washer and dryer and a full kitchen, which matters when downtown is a half-hour drive and you are cooking after a ski day or a hike on Hermosa Cliffs.
Eleven also have a grill; six have a private yard. For fireplace-first browsing across the whole portfolio, use Durango rentals with a fireplace. For the wider mountain-resort condo set (including units outside North Durango), see mountain resort properties.
