Perfect house for 4 couples. Very quiet, at the end of the road. Close to all the activities at Purgatory resort, hiking trails, lakes, and more. The house was stocked with everything you need. It was very well laid out for group. Only wish we could stay longer.

This house was perfect! It is beautiful, comfortable, thoughtfully organized and conveniently stocked. Beds were super comfy. We enjoyed hiking, Purgatory resort activities, Mesa Verde, Silverton and Durango. The hike to the overlook at the house everyday was an added bonus. Ice lakes was incredible. The table is big, comfortable and perfect for all of our board games in the evening. The deck was amazing, we enjoyed morning coffee/tea and evening drinks. If we weren’t grilling on the deck, area restaurants like James Ranch Grill were a must. Wonderful dark skies at night with an amazing view of the Milky Way galaxy and shooting stars were enjoyed by all ages. The abundant chipmunks were a source of constant entertainment for the kids. We are already trying to work out another trip to enjoy this house.

We absolutely loved this home. Fabulous views just .2 miles away where we had several picnics. There were also beautiful views of the forest from the back deck and stunning skies full of stars every night. The home itself is new, clean, comfortable, and well appointed. The kitchen has everything you’d need. The bed and pillows are also super comfy. The owners have thought of many small extras to make you feel welcome. There was a bag of snacks, coffee and spices. There was also everything you’d need for the first few days of tp, toiletries, and such. I’ve already sent this listing to several friends and I plan on coming again. Don’t miss out on this mountain home. Also, the food at the Nugget bar is amazing, don’t be deterred by the way it looks.

The cabin was as listed on the website. It was very clean upon arrival. I have to say the thought that they have put into this place was exceptional. There was nothing in the kitchen or bathroom that they hadn’t thought about. The porch was the perfect place to drink your morning coffee of hang out on In the evening. The cabin setup was perfect for our family with the 4 king beds. The only issue we had was we did Get hot at night. The bedrooms do not have AC. There is 2 smaller air conditioners that kept the rest of the cabin cool but it was hot in the rooms at night. Now we do realize we traveled there in July and this is probably not the case at other times of the year. But that is the only thing we could say about the cabin. The rest was absolutely perfect. It is a decent drive to town as it’s about 45 min to Durango.

Amazing place exactly as described! Prompt communication. The home was very well furnished with virtually anything you would need! Very clean with a fine outdoor space! Highly recommended! Thanks for sharing your home with us!

What a great place. Perfectly centralized between Silverton and Durango. Andrea is amazing and very attentive to any needs or requests. This is a perfect place for winter or summer use. Definitely the best VRBO my family has ever experienced.

Beautiful and new- The San Juan Retreat is truly a retreat property right near Purgatory! They have thought of everything in the newly built cabin- the best feature that sets them apart on the inside of the property has to be the four bedrooms all with king beds! The black out blinds kept us snug in our rooms, an added bonus. We ate in nightly and they provided everything needed to cook and grill well, along with a staples-packed pantry. There were games and books, a cozy fireplace, a beautiful deck, and a lovely washer/dryer (with supplies!) that served us well after long days on the slopes and snowmobiling. The hot water was glorious for the whole family and there was plenty of it to bathe (huge tub up in the loft area and tub on the main level), or walk in showers in the master and in the loft area (with a view). On our March visit, the ample snow was perfect for snow-shoeing right outside the cabin on an easy trail through the national forest. The trail ends at “Vista Point”, a gorgeous spot overlooking breathtaking lake and mountain scenery. The owner had also built a sled run in the backyard which was very fun for the kids! I had to get some work done while there and Starlink wifi worked great. Easy peasy to access with in-room QR code provided. The owners are also very helpful and readily accessible with any questions. A new favorite spot for our family is the nearby hot springs. With multiple pools at different temperatures (and fun drinks), we all really enjoyed it and will definitely be back. Other good spots nearby are The Nugget Bar at the bottom of the hill (delicious sliders) and Olde Schoolhouse Pizza a couple of miles down the road. This property is right near Purgatory (chains/snow tires are a must in this high-incline neighborhood in ski season) and an easy drive into downtown Durango where we like to shop at the end of the trip. Coming home to a double garage to unload is another bonus! Can’t wait to visit again, would love to visit in another season to see wildflowers or fall colors! Highly recommend!

We can’t say enough wonderful things about our stay at San Juan Retreat. The cabin is in a gorgeous location and an easy drive to downtown Durango and several different hiking areas. We were amazed at how well stocked the cabin is, from extra toothbrushes to every kitchen tool you could need. The 4 king beds are super comfortable and the rooms are spacious. The deck was one of our favorite spots to hang out and we loved watching the birds in the mornings! We wished we had stayed another few days!

This house is absolutely perfect for larger family vacations especially who have young children. The house was well equipped with a pack n play, high chair and even some kitchen items kid friendly.

House was beautiful! Wonderful location. Had a great view with a short walk/hike to incredible views! Kitchen was well stocked and had great games/ activities for kids as well! Great communication with host through entire process. Would definitely stay here again!

I would 100% recommend this property to anyone looking to stay in the area. The property and surrounding area is beautiful! The home was well furnished and very clean and Andrea was great to work with throughout the process of booking the reservation.

Our cabin was truly our home away from home! Clean, peaceful, comfortable, beautifully decorated, and awesome views! Living areas were cozy, beds were comfortable, kitchen fully stocked and big enough table for our family to play dominoes! We loved the trail behind cabin that lead to a gorgeous view of mountains and a lake. We had some cool mornings and the heater quickly warmed us up! Our host, Andrea, provided great information and was easy to communicate with. We have stayed at several cabins and this one is the best ever! We will be back!

Fantastic property and location between Durango and Silverton! Very quiet and private setting. Wonderful indoor and outdoor spaces to relax, and a hiking trail right out the back door. Appreciated the helpful communications, very comfortable (king!) beds, well appointed bathrooms. 5 stars!

This cabin from the inside and out is just amazing. Great views. Andrea the host was great with communication. Very clean place and has everything you need.

We stayed during a snowstorm, and getting to the property was beautifully scenic (though could be challenging if not in the appropriate vehicle). The property was clean and tidy, with basic necessities. Great home for a skiing group!

We recently stayed at the San Juan Retreat and WOW!! It was truly AMAZING! As a Travel Agent myself I was blown away by the details and extra love the owners put into this place! the beauty and the views are unreal! We had records amount of snow, went skiing, sledded, took The Nugget Bar and got snowed in! Wouldn't have asked for a better place! The owners communication was top notch and It by far exceeded our expectations and we are planning another trip back! Thank you for a WONDERFUL AND MEMORABLE STAY!! Love, The Wittrocks and Crees

Easy. Just the way you want it to be

Not only is it a great house in a cool spot, it has its own nature trail, yeah you think lame gimik. I kid you not, it was one of the best views of the trip! Thanks again! Excited to go back next year.

I usually don't write reviews, but this place deserves a 5 star.The owner Andrea was very nice and helpful, she responded to my emails quickly. The place was very clean and decorated very nice. It had everything we need well stock. The location was beautiful. Enough room for 10 people to be comfortable. I would stay here again.
