Black Bear Townhome Across from Purgatory (End Unit) - Free Shuttle

Our Black Bear townhome (Unit 98) is located directly across from Purgatory Resort and is a perfect basecamp for your vacation no matter the season. The townhome features 3 full size bedrooms & 3 bathrooms and is an end unit offering additional windows and natural light. The gourmet kitchen with stainless steel appliances includes a bar with seating and opens to the main living space and dining area. Enjoy great views of the ski slopes from either deck. The master bedroom features a gas fireplace, TV and a deck with views of the slopes.

The townhome home is part of the resort so you have access to free on-demand shuttle service to Purgatory Ski Resort but since it is across the highway you have the privacy and additional space a townhome affords (it’s part of a duplex). At 8,900 feet of elevation, the home is a gateway to an amazing winter playground and also serves as the perfect summer retreat, with a million acres of national forest land at your doorstep offering all your favorite mountain activities. It’s only a 2 minute walk to Twilight Lake for fishing and paddle boarding and as well as Purgatory Flats Trailhead, one of the most scenic hikes in the San Juan Mountains. Horseback riding, jeep trails, an alpine slide, epic mountain biking and the Purgatory Inferno Mountain Coaster are all less than 5 minutes from the home.

Bed Configuration:
Master Bedroom - King with TV and Ensuite Bath (2nd Floor)
2nd - Queen & Bunk Bed (Single over Single) (2nd Floor)
3rd - Double/Full (2nd Floor)

For an optional 4% resort fee, you will have access to the Durango Mountain Club which includes an outdoor heated pool with slide, outdoor hot tub and workout facility. The 4% resort fee included in the quote is the required resort fee that must be charged and does not allow access to the Durango Mountain Club. When booking, just advise if you would like the extra 4% resort fee added.

Congested area
This property received fantastic ratings online and we have stayed in this area before. With that said my expectations were set higher from previous trips. Upon arrival the entire home smelled so bad that we had to open all windows and doors. It took us a couple of hours to figure out the smell was coming from the garbage disposal in the kitchen sink. There was what appeared to be rotting chicken skin stuck in it. The carpets flat out need to be replaced. Covered in stains, and rips and just appears dirty. The master shower leaks no matter what you attempt to do when shutting the glass doors. The rug was covered in people’s hair and has obviously not been vacuumed or washed. There is a massive amount of construction right now. The builders dropped rocks the entire house shook. There are nails left everywhere along the roadways from the construction workers. This particular unit doesn’t mention being literally on the main road. Everyone in the house had a hard time sleeping from the constant sound of traffic. We had to leave the windows open because the unit is not equipped with air conditioning which is normal for the mountains, but it would have been nice to know this unit was on the main roads. The children’s room has really awful beds and my teen had to sleep on the coach. Beds are so important for everyone. If your main goal is being close to purgatory then this unit would be convenient. If you are just staying in the area to explore and relax, keep looking!

Great place!
We were very impressed with the condo. We had plenty enough space for our family of 7. The location was perfect as our teen was able to take the shuttle across the street to Purgatory whenever he wanted. So easy to just go back to the condo to eat and rest between skiing. Definitely would come back!

Not worth what we paid
The location was perfect. The kitchen was well stocked. I was very disappointed with the cleaning. There were towels that were mildewed in the washer upon arrival. We had rewash them and dry them. There was food crumbs in the stove. The smoke detector was beeping non stop upon arrival. We tried to call the phone numbers and nobody would answer. We ended up having to drive back in at 10:00pm to buy a 9 volt battery so we could change it out just to sleep. We lost power and tried calling the phone numbers on day 2 and still no answer. They did not clean off enough snow to be able to get out of your vehicle on either side without stepping in two feet of snow. When I spoke to them after our stay the management did not seem to care too much about the issues. I left the cabin cleaner then we received it and even eased two loads of towels for them.

Great property. Just might want to get a new mattress in the queen bed room. It was really hard. The kid bunk beds were great and the master was wonderful.

The process was remarkably easy. My only recommendation would be to review the directions for the thermostat. We struggled with heat control a bit.

Beautiful home
Great location, 30 minutes to Durango and 25 minutes to Silverton. House had great amenities, kitchen was very well stocked. Only drawback was the highway noise, the condo backs up to Highway 550. And it’s actually 2.5 bathrooms. There is a jack and Jill bathroom between two bedrooms. We had a wonderful time and the condo was very comfortable and beautifully furnished.

We lucked out and found this great property right across the street from skiing...could see the bunny hill right from our balcony. Place was clean, nicely decorated, comfy bedding and the shuttle to and from skiing was ideal! Would totally rent again!
