The Bear Cave- cozy condo in the San Juan Mountains! Great amenities!

Our studio condo is the perfect base for excursions in any direction—or simply soaking up the serenity and enjoying all the amenities at your disposal. Hiking, skiing, horseback riding, paddle boarding—you dream it, and the mountains provide it!

Purgatory Resort is just two minutes away, offering year-round activities including skiing, tubing, an alpine slide, scenic ski lifts, and more. Head north for a day trip to Silverton and take in the breathtaking views along the spectacular San Juan Scenic Byway.

If you decide to venture out from the “Bear Cave” and explore the Durango area, you'll find attractions like the Narrow Gauge Railroad, river rafting, ziplining, and historic downtown—just to name a few. Or simply relax and enjoy the many amenities the resort has to offer, including an indoor pool, onsite restaurant, dry saunas, arcade game room, hiking trails, and fishing spots.

There’s more adventure to be found in the San Juans than can be experienced in just one trip. Let the exploring begin!

Bear Cave Review

I highly recommend the Bear Cave - it is very cozy for 1-2 people. The kitchen is perfect for having breakfast and preparing meals if you don’t feel like going out. Short drive to Main Street of Durango and close to Silverton and Ouray and lots of outdoor activities. The community has a pool and hot tub on-site and there is a nice restaurant. Would definitely stay here again.
