About this house rental
Our 1,500 sq ft, 2 bedroom (queen beds), 2 bath, customs 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 52 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.
Please check the availability Calendar as it is updated and current.
A 4WD/AWD with good tires is required December 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. Lucy runs free on the property.

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.

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.

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!

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.

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!

A great place to stay

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!

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!

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!

Lots of Big Sky to see at this Amazing home. Hiking abounds, on Sean’s beautiful acreage, all the way to the top of his mountain property.
Lots of wonderful memories made here. His home has every convenience you need for a comfortable stay!

This place is just what we were looking for, and more than we imagined. It's extremely spacious and the kitchen had everything we needed. It's luxury in the woods. The floors are like warm leather. The piles of snow outside kept all of us busy and inspired building forts and snowshoeing. Quick access to the ski resort was incredible. We'll definitely be back!

This property was perfect for our family of four visiting Durango for a wedding in October. The cabin and the property were exactly as listed, instructions outlined clearly, impeccably tidy and clean, fluffy towels, kitchen fully stocked with all supplies, and the mountainside location was stunning to explore. We are hoping to be back this winter to ski at Purgatory just up the road!

The property was exactly as pictured in the listing. The home was clean and well appointed. The location was secluded and superbly quiet. The property owner gave very detailed and easy to follow instructions for finding the property. We loved this house so much we were a little sad to leave. If you're on the fence about which place to rent near Durango, I assure you this one is fantastic.

Another lovely visit
Our summer stay was wonderful. This is our fourth summer returning to one of Sean’s homes. The house is always clean and very comfortable. The kitchen is well appointed and perfect for preparing meals. Sean is always easily accessible if we have any needs or questions. I can’t say enough about how much our family looks forward to these summer retreats.

Relaxing, secluded retreat
We visited Sean’s cabin with our 2, 6 month old labs and our fox hound. Sean had a 6 month old lab puppy and it was awesome to see the pups play. The place exceeded our expectations. Clean, well put together and the kitchen was well stocked with cooking items. Lots of areas to explore around the property and in the area. We will definitely visit again!

Beautiful cabin in a majestic location
Property was very clean and very comfortable with all the amenities of home. Beautiful, quiet location in the woods with great views of mountains and lakes. Adjacent to Purgatory ski resort. We stayed here as we wanted to visit Durango, Silverton, and Mesa Verde. We really enjoyed our stay at this cabin.

Amazing modern cabin with Amazing View!
We loved this modern cabin home so much! We went for the last week of ski season (end of March) and got blessed with fresh snow several days. Being from the South and waking up to that much snow was like waking up on Christmas morning as a kid!
The home is beautiful and cozy. The pictures don't adequately display the wonderfulness of the indoors/outdoors. Plus you can't be close to Purgatory ski resort without staying on the resort. It was so wonderful!!! We will be coming back! BTW, it is up in the mountain off a dirt road so you will need a truck or 4WD, especially in winter.

Great location!
Highly enjoyed our stay. Great property in a very private area. My teenage kids had plenty of space to sled and play around the home and we were only a few minutes to Purgatory. Very relaxing and just what we needed. 5 stars all around. Thanks!

This Stay was Snow Amazing!!
The house was amazing! This was the second house of Sean’s we stayed in and we loved it! Even with the amount of snow received while there (close to 40 inches), we loved the ski lift chair on the front porch, which was a deciding factor when we chose the property! And of course, Ace, our golden retriever, enjoyed the property and loved the snow.
Sean was super busy plowing the snow during the week we were there and we enjoyed talking with him!
We will be back!

Mountain retreat
This is not a mountain "cabin", but rather a well-built home with a welcoming feel and modern appliances. We told Sean, who was a great support to us, that we didn't want to leave because it was just perfect. We would love to come back again in the future.
