Soak in 2 levels of incredible Needles Mountain views in every season at our Durango Dream Views condo. In summer and fall, walk 1 minute to the scenic lifts, and in winter, Ski in Ski out from the courtyard. Located at 8,600 ft the spectacular CO Rocky Mountains, temps can be up to 15 degrees cooler than downtown. From sweeping summer greenery against Cerulean blue skies (you know, that vivid blue that looks impossibly straight out of a paint tube), to glowing fall aspens, and glorious snow covered winter peaks; our East Rim corner condo's year-round mountain views are hard to beat.

Beautifully renovated to be enjoyed by our family and guests, Durango Dream Views is designed to be romantic, comfortable and memorable. Plentiful art, a myriad of rustic textures, and saturated nature hues bring the gorgeous outdoors into our home. In summer, spring and fall seasons, our upstairs balcony and downstairs patio offer outdoor spaces with stunning vistas that help you remember why its great to be alive. In winter season ski in ski out at Purgatory from our East Rim Bldg. D courtyard, and wave to bunny slopes skiers down below, from our balcony and Patio.

Eight padded leather chairs, a highchair for baby (and a custom coffee table that doubles as extra seating for children) make the table perfect to gather round for family games or socializing after dinner. Matching dinnerware, decorative plate chargers, leather placemats, handforged flatware and Italian glassware set an inviting table for your family.

The living area features a large, down stuffed flannel and leather trim sofa by Lauren Schnadig, and a made in the USA queen sleeper bed sofa. Both coffee tables are custom made from reclaimed silo wood by a CO Springs wood artisan. A wood burning fireplace with stone trim and wood mantle compliment the romantic mountain ambiance.

Our kitchen features stainless appliances. Enjoy the luxury convenience of a bottom freezer fridge. You'll love the plentiful lighting, and tall faucet that's easy to get pans beneath. Every inch of cabinet space has been utilized to provide plenty of mixing bowls, a crock pot, blender, mixer, primarily stainless pots and pans, a roasting pan, baking pans and more. We cook special family dinners here too, and strive to ensure that our guests will have all the utensils needed to prepare lovely meals.

DOWNSTAIRS

Our 2.5 bedrooms are downstairs, accessed by carpeted winder stairs with a handrail. Even the stairwell is pretty, with colored glass lights and warmly saturated artworks. At the bottom of the stairs is the 3rd bedroom. The bunk room is a pass-through space best suited to children, yet is spacious and inviting. There is a full bottom bunk reinforced for adults, and a twin upper bunk. The room has an attached powder room with toilet, vanity and front load washer and dryer. Joyful art, Pottery Barn quilts, a door with window and window behind the bunk bed, and a new guest closet with local craftsman made knotty alder mirrored doors complete this welcoming space.

A wood and privacy glass door lead to a fully renovated jacuzzi room. Renew your woo, relax sore muscles, or let the children have a bubble bath. With full travertine walls, reflective glass accents, and dimmable lights, and massage shower head, the corner jacuzzi tub room will be a family favorite.

Both of the private bedrooms bring the romance factor, and offer lots of comfort. Lay in the comfy queen bed and gaze out at the gorgeous mountain views, through glass doors that lead to the private patio. Two dimmable glass drop chandeliers hang over the bed, complementing gilded accents and layered Pottery Barn bedding. The patio features a loveseat swing, and Pier 1 wicker table set, and never-ending mountain views. The adjacent King bedroom offers the added convenience of an attached powder room. The room is a beautiful space to reconnect with your spouse, the crystal drum chandeliers over the bed sparkle on the suede paint walls. In the evenings skip the TV, and instead turn on the wall mount, wood frame electric fireplace and cozy up. Pottery Barn velvet and a RL cotton kilim texture duvet filled with down, make the comfy Tempur-pedic king mattress special and restful. Both private bedrooms have flat screen TV's with Netflix and Hulu Live, RL suede walls, hanging closet storage, and creamy, softly pearlescent ceilings. We've striven to create bedroom spaces that are worthy of a Colorado honeymoon, anniversary, birthday, or just that chance to remind your spouse how much you love them.

This bathroom has been modernized with a new vanity, tile floor, Kohler toilet and fixtures, Its white tile may be the only original feature remaining in our East Rim home.

ELECTRONICS:
There is wi-fi, its speed is sufficient to play movies on the living room Smart TV and goes out rarely. While there are 3 TV's in our home, we like to "tune out" when on the mountain, and rarely use TV when there (maybe for an urgent football game or a dose of DIY). You will likely know more about the TV's and satellite than we do. The upstairs TV mounted above the fireplace is a smart TV and does have a DVD player and HDMI. All 3 TV's have Netflix and Hulu Live service.
