About this house rental

The city of Durango and Durango Mountain Resort (Purgatory) in southwest Colorado is an area devoted to an active outdoor lifestyle. Nestled in the San Juan National Forest, this western town is where the high desert meets the high alpine.

Blackjack Lodge sits atop sloping cliffs overlooking Lake Purgatory, with sweeping views of the Hermosa Cliffs, Spud, Engineer and Needles Mountains from its large picture windows. Surrounded by groves of pine and aspen trees, it affords complete privacy, though conveniently located just one mile south of Durango Mountain Resort.

The large, open-plan family room has stunning views, a massive wood burning, sandstone fireplace and state-of-the-art entertainment complete with Sony 51' Surround Sound TV, DVD/CD, VCR and Stereo. A second family room (or the 'Bear Den') with 2-Twin Trundle Bed, TV, DVD, a regulation-size billiard table and also a ping-pong table is located in the basement, adjacent to the fourth bedroom which is outfitted with two sets of bunk beds and the location makes it an ideal room for the kids. All king and queen beds have Modal linens and goose down comforters to ensure a cozy and comfortable night's rest!

A wonderful bonus after a day of outdoor activities is the Hot Springs Spa 6 person hot tub on the covered deck. Luxuriate in its soothing warmth while taking in the stunning lake and mountain views and cool, clean mountain air. At night, the stars seem almost touchable.

Our home is that wonderful combination of rusticity and luxury. The bedrooms are comfortable and private and the family areas are well appointed with fine leather couches. Ceiling fans in every room and radiant-heated floors make it comfortable throughout the year. Our location offers you a choice between the dozens of activities available in the area, or complete seclusion - whichever kind of vacation you seek.

On the up side, the living room space is cozy and accommodates a large group. The lake view is pretty and the hummingbirds were fun to feed and watch. The hot tub is also nice and big. On the down side, the house is very dated, especially the kitchen and carpet, which we didn't want to walk on in bare feet or socks. The overall house cleanliness could use attention, as in a deep clean for dust and dirt. The basics, like the bedding and towels seemed clean, but we had to hunt around to find enough towels in the basement laundry room. There were a lot of bugs, including tiny gnats on the flat surfaces, like counters and tables and large ants roaming about. The rain might have brought in the big ants which I think are normally on trees, but not fun to see inside. There are also home maintenance issues with items broken or not working very well. I mentioned the things we didn't enjoy to the property manager after we left, but didn't hear back from him. I think this house is expensive for the shape its in and because it was not particularly clean, which I do expect when I rent, especially at this price point. Finally, if you have small kids, are older or not in good health/shape, the walk to and from the lake might be difficult. The back of the property drops off. There is a path with some make-shift barriers, but its extremely steep. This was a non-issue for our family, but could be for others.

This home is just what my husband and I needed. We have just lost our son and didn’t have a plan but knew we needed to find somewhere to begin healing. The owner was extremely supportive and accommodating. House is perfect for families and friends. Would highly recommend.

If you want a quiet, beautiful surroundings, great place to stay, then this is for you. Our family stayed for a week and had a wonderful time fishing and canoeing in the lake and then paddle boarding and swimming in lake 5 minutes away. The house has everything you need. Very fun vacation!

This property had the most amazing view! Coffee on the deck in the morning over looking the mountains & lake was delightful. We stayed with our BFF’s family at this home. 5 teen boys who loved the downstairs to play pool & ping pong and big open upstairs to play games after long days outside mountain biking at Purgatory (5 min away), rafting in Durango and hiking also close by! This property had everything we needed! Extra bedding, towels, full kitchen and all the little extras like detergent, tin foil, etc….. the stuff you forget you’ll need when at the grocery store! The Nugget Bar across the highway looks like a dive, but it’s got great drinks & food truck food is great too! Pizza down the road at Old School house and country store for necessities. We loved the privacy of this home and would stay here again!

Our granddaughter was married at the Black Diamond Ranch, so the location was perfect. The house is very livable but a little dated-altho the bidet toilet was amazing! It had an a good vibe and accommodated our family 10-ages 83-9-very comfortably. We didn't understand that our SUPs weren't allowed-interpreting the rules that anyone not staying in a house on the lake were not permitted use of the lake. Anyway, the man who patrols the lake was very informative and polite. We had some very "zen" time in the canoe.

The perfect location for a peaceful and relaxing vacation. Right on the lake with good fishing. Plenty of relaxing spots on the property- lawn chairs with great views of the lake, hammock and 6 person hot tub on the deck. Spacious home with the added bonus of a ping pong and billiards table. Great spot to fish, relax and unwind with the family. Close to Durango, Purgatory resort and Lake Nighthorse for lots of family fun. We loved our stay.
