Erstellen Family Memories in der Nähe von Durango Mountain Resort

My family has never been to Colorado in the summer & it was amazing. The views from the balcony all throughout the day were incredible.

The Murrah Family

Kaufman, Tx

The cabin was a blissful getaway. The entire experience is one that I hope to recreate again. The house was in pristine condition and the beds were soft and cozy. The fireplace kept the entire home warm as it was snowing in May. We went out on the lake in the paddleboats and hung out in the jacuzzi enjoying the quiet atmosphere. The kitchen was a great space to cook and hang out with all dishes, pots, and pans, and dishwasher very accessible We enjoyed our time here and are hoping to come back again next year.

Another dad and I shared this rental, and brought our sons out for a guys weekend of skiing for President's Day. I have always rented the ski in/ski out properties up there, as we like the convenience. However, after staying in the magnificent home on Purgatory Lake, just 2-3 minutes from the ski resort, my days of staying on the mountain are over. It was spacious, well maintained, and could have slept many more than we had in our small group of 5. Sitting in the hot tub, overlooking the frozen lake, while it snowed on us, is a memory my sons and I will cherish for years to come. And the kitchen was huge, with plenty of dishes, pots and pans, bowls, spices, etc. I cannot say enough good things about this property. I was even a little reluctant to share my experience here online, as I want to keep this my own little secret. Oh well, not fair to everyone else or the owner to do that. I am grateful to the owners for their willingness to share such a great home with others. I can't wait to go back.

Absolutely gorgeous setting on the small lake.

Heating system rather unique .. took a couple days to figure out. Hard to balance throughout the house.

There are no words that can describe the amazing time we had in your home. The location is perfect. Just the right amount of seclusion, but down the road from from Purgatory and not too far from Durango. The house was clean and fully stocked with everything you need. The lake was frozen, but my husband and boys were still able to ice fish and made friends with the caretaker of the lake. I was also able to take some amazing pictures on the lake. Everything was perfect!

Now for the tears!!!

We try to come to Durango in December to take the kids snow boarding and to the Polar Express but this year was going to be a little bit different. We got news that our oldest son was going to deploy to Afghanistan shortly after our stay so we wanted to make this our most memorable trip yet. My husband was deployed multiple times to Afghanistan and Iraq so we knew the new year was going to be tough for our family. Before our trip, I was contacted by the caretaker of the home, who asked if they could do something special for my son since he was going to deploy. When we arrived, we entered a fully decorated home for Christmas, which the small kids loved and a special customized banner and flags that read, "Thank you for your service Padilla family." We were all in tears!!! Thank you all from the bottom of our hearts. This is one trip we will never forget and we will definitely be back!!! Your home is beautiful and has been a great blessing to us this Christmas! THANK YOU!!!
