Mountain Lodge-2 MBR Suites-Amazing Views-Hot Tub-Pet Friendly-2 Miles to Ski

Welcome to Purgatory Point Lodge, our magnificent home in the mountains!

This home offers a rare and exceptional location for your mountain retreat with the most extraordinary views of Electra Lake, the Hermosa Cliffs and the entire Animas Valley. Feel at home in this beautiful 4 bedroom, 3 bath home situated on two beautiful wooded acres offering privacy and seclusion with the Little Cascade Creek running through the property. Relax in rustic elegance as the sounds of a rushing waterfall, rustling pine trees and humming birds fill the air. Explore the outdoors right from your back deck or hike north along the creek to Columbine Lake and south to Electra Lake. Fish from the banks of Cascade Creek or our beautiful Columbine Lake, both do not require permits and yes, they have fish!

Enjoy watching sunsets over the spectacular Hermosa Cliffs while relaxing in the private hot tub or while sipping cocktails listening to the waterfall from the back deck. If you are lucky, you may see an elk, deer, wild turkeys, quail, muskrats, beavers, raccoons, and other cute critters. There have been reported sightings of moose nearby, but not from the back deck as of yet.

Cozy up by the fire in the wood burning stove in the spacious main living area while watching the flat screen TV or stream movies over the internet WiFi. The kids will be content with their own TV and gaming center upstairs in the gameroom/bedroom. Our home may sleep as many as 10 people comfortably with the following bed configuration:

Master 1 (1st floor) – King
Master 2 (2nd floor) – King
Bedroom 3 (1st floor) - Bunk Bed (single over double) + Futon (double)
Bedroom 4/Gameroom (2nd floor) - Queen pull-out sofa/bed
Living Area (1st floor) – Queen pull-out sofa/bed

Purgatory Point offers privacy and seclusion nestled in the spectacular San Juan Mountains. Located 25 minutes north from Durango and only 2 miles from the ski resort, amenities abound. The Sows Ear Restaurant located less than 2 miles away, boasts 4 star dining and a lively bar. The Old Schoolhouse Cafe located 5 miles away, serves the best pizza and calzones this side of Italy…well that’s our opinion anyway! There is always something to do at the ski resort with summer and fall activities for the entire family. Our mountain home has all the comforts of home combined with breathtaking views. This will truly be your home away from home.

*****4-Wheel Drive/AWD REQUIRED in winter (Thanksgiving through mid-March)*****
Our home is tucked away off a beautiful winding road which is regularly plowed in the winter. You will be driving on packed snow which can become icy, especially on steep hills. Chains may be necessary if you are driving an AWD SUV with high performance tires.

Outstanding Views and Perfect Getaway
My family (7 adults, 1 child, 1 baby, & 1 dog) stayed here for almost a week, and it was everything we wanted in mountain vacation. The stunning views can be viewed pretty much throughout the house which is amazing. We spent a majority of our time on the deck enjoying our meals, relaxing in the hot tub, and star gazing. Communication with Micaela was excellent and thorough. We had everything we needed to make majority of our meals at the house. I will note the game room with one of the fold out couches/bed is open the majority of the house. I only note this in case you have members of your party that would like some more privacy. Highly recommend staying here, and we would definitely come back!

Amazing Views!
We spent a lot of time on the back deck. In addition to the amazing view, they have a hummingbird feeder so we got to enjoy watching more hummingbirds than I have ever seen! We really enjoyed the house. House does need some minor maintenance done.

Wonderful family home
This home was terrific for our family of 8. The range of ages was 76 years to 15 years. I would have been a bit nervous if my 8 year old grandson had been with us as the terrain in front which has an incredible view was steep and very “natural”. We enjoyed the remote location but be aware you are 40 minutes from Durango even though it is only 25 miles. The two disappointments were that there is no easy way to hike to the waterfall listed in the description of the house, and the fishing wasn’t as easily accessed from the house as described. This is no fault of the owners it is more of an issue with changes in the regulations due to years of drought affecting the nearby lakes and the rough terrain to hike to stream nearest house. The true bonus about this property was the beautiful and spacious home away from all the city lights and noise. The ski resort is very close and has great activities for the young adults. Be sure you bring mosquito spray in the summer! Communication with the owners was pretty quick with lots of information about nearby activities.

Spectacular views from a great house!
Beautiful well-equipped house less than ten minutes from Purgatory even when it's been snowing for a week. Very easy drive from the Durango airport. If you're staying a few days try out the Nugget across the street. Only drawback is it is 30/45 minute drive to the main town so make sure and shop for a few days. But the views alone are worth it.

Host not accommodating and house extremely dirty when we arrived. Awful experience.
When we arrived, no one had been there to clean the house. There were sheets and towels left in the washer and on the floor of the laundry room. The house was very dirty. Dead flies on the floor and in the tub. The toilets were disgusting. The hot tub smelled like fish and was murky. The previous guests had turned off the heat in the master bedroom and so it was 45 degrees in there. The internet didn't work and while we were there the rest of the heat in the house stopped working. We called the owner and told them the situation and because of all the issues if we could pay to stay one night since we drove 14 hours to get there and it was 4 pm and we couldn't find anywhere else to stay with such a short time and we had to find a place that would take 5 people and pets. The owners were adamant that we couldn't stay there. We literally had no where else to go. They didn't care and said we had to leave. The owner told us after we arrived, that they were having a hard time getting the cleaning crew in because of a snow storm, but other houses in that area didn't have an issue. We've stayed at a lot of VRBOs and never had an experience like this one. We ended up finding a VRBO right down the street from this house, but we couldn't stay there till the next day. Micaela had a lot of excuses of why it was all like that, but we stayed in another VRBO right down the street and they had no issues with cleaning crews or anything. Very disappointed and super stressful experience for our family vacation with small kids.

Beautiful cabin!
Beautiful clean and large cabin with plenty of space! Tucked away nicely with amazing views and the hummingbird visitors were amazing to watch out the big window! We enjoyed the fireplace and all the space to relax and conversate with each other. The beds were comfortable and master bathroom was plenty large to get ready for the day. The drive from the highway was not too long and we enjoyed all the critters we saw along the way. Would highly recommend and we would visit again if in the area without a second thought!

Just amazing
The pictures of the rental don’t do it justice, especially the view from the back patio. I can’t begin to describe how incredible it really is. The owners are just amazing as we had a potential issue but it turned out to be nothing but they were quick to respond and even came to the house. We enjoyed their company and had breakfast! We will definitely stay here in the summer to enjoy the Lake community but plan on returning for the winter as well. This was just an incredible house and you won’t regret staying here.

Breathtaking view, excellent property
View of the mountain is picturesque. Excellent property, well equipped, spacious room and bedrooms, game room, new hot tub to relax after day on the slopes. Owner's were so helpful and caring, we could not have found a better property. We do a lot of traveling, and this property rates at the top of our experiences. If staying in the winter, all-wheel drive vehicle and snow chains are needed, chains can be rented from an individual in the neighborhood who is overly helpful.

Beautiful, spacious mountain get away
Dwelling as advertised, but pictures just don't do the view justice. Directions/instructions provided via VRBO site and onsite were prepared and laid out well- thank you! The location is close enough to town/service stations for goods, but off the beaten path/secluded enough to really enjoy fresh air/nature (and the stars are SO much brighter here!) We loved the bonus hummingbird visitors.
