What Guests Say About Staying at Purgatory
Erin Shack
Modern Mountain Escape
Even in a time of little snow, we had a great time in Purgatory! The house itself was nice and newer and had all that we needed. The house was well equipped for cooking meals as there are not many restaurants in the area. The hot tub on the back porch was utilized every night! And the kids loved the ping pong table in the garage:)The real star of the show was the shuttle system to and from the mountain! It was so easy to get back and forth.
Candace Stout
Sitzmark #1
This is our second time staying at this condo! We love that there is plenty of space for us adults and kids. I love that the kids can go outside and play and I don’t have to worry about them. And walking distance to the resort is definitely a highlight!
Michelle McCollum
Mountain Gem
Perfect location and great setup for our family of 5. Had a few questions for the property manager and they were quick to respond and super helpful. View of base camp was awesome and such an easy walk to everything. Condo was stocked with everything we wanted. Highly recommend.

Where the Purgatory Rentals Sit
These ten homes are the full Purgatory / Durango Mountain Resort set — base-village condos, slopeside townhomes and two larger houses a short drive from the lifts.
We offer seven ski-in-ski-out units at Purgatory Resort. On the plaza and liftside: Last Run (2 bed, sleeps six), Mountain Gem (2 bed, 1,200 sq ft, wood-burning fireplace) and Angel Haus #117 (2 bed, sleeps eight, walk to the nearest chair). Eolus 522 is the one-bedroom in the set — 800 square feet, sleeps six, remodeled condo at the base. Edelweiss 8 is a three-bedroom condo that takes two dogs. The townhomes with ski-in access are Alpenglow at Purgatory (3 bed end unit, sleeps nine, mountain views) and Sitzmark #1 (4 bed, sleeps eight, near the main chair).
Three more sit at the resort without ski-in-ski-out features, but still offer much for travelers. Black Bear Travertine is a three-bedroom townhome with two decks, a private garage and a complimentary on-demand shuttle to the lifts — and it takes two dogs. Modern Mountain Escape is a 2020-built four-bedroom (2,500 sq ft, sleeps twelve) with a private hot tub and the strongest review count in this bucket. Engineer House 487 is the six-bedroom lodge (4,400 sq ft, sleeps twenty) in Engineer Village, about a two-minute drive to the resort — large enough that it also belongs in the conversation on large vacation rentals in Durango.
If you only want the seven ski-in units, use Purgatory ski-in ski-out rentals. If you want mountain homes near the hill but not on the resort itself — Cascade, Silverpick, Electra Lake, Lake Purgatory — switch to mountain getaways.

Ski-In Condo or a House with a Shuttle?
Decide on access first. The seven ski-in, ski-out units put you on the snow from the door — start with Last Run, Mountain Gem, Angel Haus, Eolus 522, Edelweiss 8, Alpenglow or Sitzmark. Black Bear Travertine trades ski-in for a private garage and an on-demand shuttle. Modern Mountain Escape and Engineer House 487 trade walk-to-lift for more square footage and bigger group layouts.
Five of the ten take dogs; pets are $25 per night each, capped at $200 per dog, up to two. If the dog is non-negotiable, cross-check the pet-friendly list — Alpenglow, Black Bear, Edelweiss 8, Modern Mountain Escape and Sitzmark are the ones in this set. Condo-only shoppers can also open Purgatory condos. For hot tubs across the whole portfolio, see Durango hot tub rentals.

Nine of these ten homes have a hot tub — shared at most of the base buildings, private at Modern Mountain Escape. Every unit has a fireplace. Most include a garage, which matters when you are unloading skis in January.
From September 1 through May 31, Colorado’s Must Carry law applies on US-550 between Durango and Purgatory regardless of weather. Passenger vehicles need at least 3/16-inch tread on all-weather or M+S-rated tires. Build that into the drive from town, not only into a storm day.
Summer at the resort is a different calendar — hiking, the bike park and base-village dining — but the same ten homes. For things to do beyond the hill, start on things to do in Durango.
