About this property
Largest Black Bear Townhome - Hot Tub - EV Charger - Ski Shuttle
Black Bear townhome (Unit 66) is located directly across from Purgatory Ski Area and is a perfect base camp for your vacation no matter the season. The townhome features 3 bedrooms & 3 baths and is the largest unit type in the Black Bear complex. The gourmet kitchen with granite counter tops and stainless steel appliances includes a bar with seating and opens to the main living space and dining area.
The master bedroom features a gas fireplace and balcony with a hot tub (occupancy 2) and the townhome also features a washer/dryer (laundry detergent provided) and a 2 car garage (with a level 2 Tesla Charger) with 2 additional parking spots in front of the garage. Enjoy views of the ski slopes from either deck.
The townhome home is part of the resort so you have access to free on-demand shuttle service to Purgatory Ski Resort but since it is across the highway you have the privacy and additional space a townhome affords (it’s part of a duplex). At 8,900 feet of elevation, the home is a gateway to an amazing winter playground and also serves as the perfect summer retreat, with a million acres of national forest land at your doorstep offering all your favorite mountain activities. It’s only a 2 minute walk to Twilight Lake for fishing and paddle boarding and as well as Purgatory Flats Trailhead, one of the most scenic hikes in the San Juan Mountains. Horseback riding, jeep trails, an alpine slide, epic mountain biking and the Purgatory Inferno Mountain Coaster are all less than 5 minutes from the home.

Gorgeous time to visit Durango! Great townhome, very clean, well stocked kitchen, great views of the fall colors, hiking trails nearby, pets loved the walks around the lake, hot tub was nice after hiking, comfortable beds, great fireplace. Overall a great place, can’t wait to return!
Property as described. Clean, comfortable and well appointed. Location perfect for canoeing, fishing, hiking and mushrooming. Communication with the property manager was excellent and made accessing and using the property easy.

We have been coming to Purgatory the last 5 years and We loved this house! It is directly across the street from the ski area and the shuttle runs quite frequently making it easy to get back and forth. The home was clean and had all the necessities. I love that VRC provides a starter box of essentials. We brought extra dishwasher and washing machine tablets. There is a Keurig in the house (I couldn't find it in the description anywhere, so that was a nice surprise). There are TONS of dishes, silverware, glasses and spices.
This was a very nice well equipped condo. We enjoyed our time in this area and would stay there again if in the area.

the place was very comfortable, loved the fire places lot of room and close to the slopes. Kitchen was stocked very well
What a wonderful property. Everything was top notch from start to finish. Honestly, have never had a VRBO with a better stocked kitchen, very important to this group of foodies. Hope to return next summer!
Beautiful property. Very convenient for skiing. Extremely comfortable beds. Well equipped kitchen. Loved the multiple fireplaces and t.v.’s. Hot tub very nice touch. Especially grateful for garage and being able to bring our dog who loved playing in the snow. Thanks for hosting us, we would love to return again.
The condo was clean, nice kitchen and cooking was very easy. Views are spectacular. The hot tub was difficult to use since the cover is in poor shape and hard to take off and on. Washer and dryer excellent. Fans provided so it was always comfortable with the windows open. Nice walk in shower in Master as well as main floor bathroom. Keurig coffee maker as well as a drip coffee maker. Gas stove and oven, large fridge with ice maker, nice dishwasher. Living furniture nice but not very comfortable. TV worked great.

Reviewer Comments:
This was a great stay. Everything was clearly explained to us, from check in to check out. This has been one of the most well appointed rentals we have stayed in. We had a party of 6, and everyone had plenty of space to be very comfortable. Things that sometimes you take for granted or you assume will work in other rentals, sometimes don’t. Like the heater, the water isn’t hot, etc. Here, everything was perfect. We had zero issues. Add to that the amazing location and beautiful surroundings. We would definitely book again. Thank you for a great time. Only suggestion would be to switch the dresser for a larger one in the master bedroom for better clothing storage. Clothes that needed to be hung, we put in the laundry room, so not a huge deal. Also, the bathtub in the master bath fills rather slowly with hot water.
