Secluded Modern Home on 132 Acres, 2 Miles to Purgatory Ski Area
Our 1,500 sq ft, 2 bedroom (queen beds), 2 bath, custom home was built in 2007 and offers the most privacy and seclusion of any property near Purgatory Ski Area as it sits on 132 acres, yet is less than 2 miles from the ski resort, and 25 miles from downtown Durango.
The gourmet kitchen has stainless steel appliances. The main living space and master bedroom feature 55 inch flat screen TV's with 5.1 surround sound. The leather couch in the main living space converts to an incredibly comfortable and supportive queen bed. The large covered porch is a great place for lounging and watching the sun disappear over the mountains in the evening. The house is surrounded front and back with Colorado Rocky Mountain Wildflowers.
The property boarders the Weminuche National Forest to the North and East, which is the largest and most unused wilderness area in North America. There are numerous lakes and ponds on the property, and a road to higher elevations where the views of the surrounding mountains and lakes are spectacular.
If you bring your dog, it will have a great time chasing wildlife and playing in the forest.
If you need more space, we have a 3 Bedroom 3 bath on the property about 1/4 mile from this house.
A 4WD/AWD with snow rated tires is required November through March. If you plan to drive a vehicle not so equipped, please book elsewhere. Although the roads are extremely well maintained, we want to ensure our neighbors are not adversely impacted by our guests who may not regularly drive on snow packed roads.
We love dogs, as long as they are well behaved, and get along with people and other dogs. Sky runs free on the property.

Sean's cabins are perfect if you prefer a secluded cabin getaway, but something still very close to the mountain. The surroundings are stunning, and the cabin itself is better classified at a luxury mountain dwelling.
We loved our stay at this cozy cabin. Every morning we would watch wildlife out of the windows all along the front of the house!We Love how secluded it feels! My kids favorite part was going down to the greenhouse and picking fresh berries, sitting on the chair lift swing and walking up to the lake view point. Cabin has everything we needed And beds were comfortable! Would definitely stay here again!!
The property was very private, quiet and perfect for us. The check in process was very smooth and the cabin was spotless and very well equipped. Sean is a 5 star host. Lots of details on how everything worked and quick response
to my questions. We loved our stay
This house truly was a home!!! With incredible views and an insane level of privacy around the home, my family loved it!! We brought our dog as well which was absolutely wonderful as he got to walk around and explore without having to go far from home. Very cozy fireplace made our experience even better! The house was also VERY clean and all the necessary appliances were well unkept and easy to use!
Definitely a good idea to have 4x4 or chains! But worth the effort! The beauty of the land radiates throughout the building. Incredible craftsmanship and detail! Thank you!
We just returned home from staying at this wonderful house. This was probably the best house we have stayed at. Sean was very helpful and friendly. The area is absolutely beautiful! And seeing Sky (his dog) was a bonus! We will be back!
As described, quiet and close to Purgatory resort. Enjoyed the porch and the super quiet forest. Owner offered fruits and vegetables! Talk to him when you go !
Had a great week relaxing and hiking. The house was spotless, equipped with everything imaginable and perfectly located in a secluded yet convenient location. Sean, the host, was a pleasure to work with - very responsive and accommodating. I will definitely return!
The property is very clean, roomy, quiet, and was a perfect location for my family of four.
The cabin is well stocked with just about anything you can ask for. Sean responded quickly to a question we had about the shades. He is a very good host and very nice guy. We couldn’t have been more pleased with our stay.
We loved this house! It was clean and supplied with everything we needed. The layout is perfect and each bedroom has it's own bathroom. Sean is a great host and stopped by to say hi. There was room for our 2 dogs to play in the snow. This house is tucked away where you have privacy but isn't far from anything. Our favorite part is the AWESOME front porch!! We'll be back!
House is lovely, well maintained, clean, organized, and convenient to the world of high elevation hiking. Owner is available on the property, non- intrusive, and highly responsive to guests’ needs. There are many justifiable reasons this property is rated highly by guests, many of whom choose to return and enjoy life at 9000ft! Stop looking—- your next adventure is right here.
Lovely Property, cabin is as described with everything we needed to enjoy 10 days in the mountains. With a well equipped kitchen we enjoyed cooking in, to a great deck to sit an read, watch wildlife (deer) and BBQ. We walked on the property and enjoyed the view of Electra Lake. A few day Trips to Durango and Ouray/Silverton.
Communication with Sean was great, he was very helpful when we wants to add a few days prior to arrival. The instructions and directions given before arrival were clear so we had no issues finding the Cabin. Thank you Sean, we wil see you next year.
We loved staying at Sean's place. We went for a ski trip and the house is so close to Purgatory. It had everything we needed for a 4 night stay (we mostly cooked at that house). Definitely follow the directions provided by Sean, Google tries to send you too far down the road. Check-in and out was smooth. Durango isn't too far away, but we ended up only going down to town once during our stay. We wanted something quiet, peaceful, and close to skiing which is what we got. Definitely recommend Sean's place!
This was our 3rd stay ( I think ) at this location. Needless to say, we have enjoyed our stays at both of the houses on this property. The host / owner is awesome - and just generally a great guy. Super responsive, friendly, and all that, plus, plus, plus. The places are beautiful, immaculate and fully stocked with everything you might need and then some. if you're clicking around looking for places, stop considering this one or others nearby, just book this one now before it's gone because I'm sure by now Sean has built a list of "faithful" customers are are coming back and will book early ... just like we have.
My spouse and I needed a relaxing, peaceful get-away, and this VRBO surpassed our needs and expectations. The views and atmosphere can not be described. It was truly picturesque. Sean was truly the most courteous host, giving us a lot of advice. We are from Texas, and the amount of snow we got while in Colorado was completely foreign to us. We also met Sean's adorable dog and fell in love! Another person we met, who I don't want to leave out mentioning, was Tom, who cleans Sean's cabins. Just like Sean, Tom was extremely hospitable and friendly and does an amazing job at cleaning. The cabin was literally spotless! We have already been discussing when we will return to this cabin!
