Mountain Townhome - Great Views - Free on Demand Ski Shuttle

Black Bear townhome (Unit 90) is located directly across from Purgatory Resort and is a perfect basecamp for your vacation no matter the season. The townhome features 3 bedroom and 2.5 bath. The gourmet kitchen with stainless steel appliances includes a bar with seating & opens to the main living space & dining area. Enjoy great views of the ski slopes from either deck.

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 Bed with TV and Ensuite Bath (2nd Floor)
2nd Bedroom - Queen & Twin bunk bed with TV (2nd Floor)
3rd Bedroom - Queen (2nd Floor)

Amazaing Condo-Pictures Don't Do Justice

This condo is absolutely amazing. Clean, directly across from ski lift with a well stocked kitchen. The pictures do not do this place justice. The master suite was delightful with a fireplace and seating area. It was the perfect spot to ring in the new year with our family. We hope to be back!

Great Christmas ski trip!

We are a family of 7 with 5 kids. House was decorated for Christmas! Ski bus picked us up within 5 minutes of calling. 2 fireplaces keep the house warm. Love the keypad access so no fumbling for keys. Crockpot and griddle were a plus. Wish there were 9x13 casserole pans.

Disappointed

The condo we had reserved was not available.. Luckily I checked my email that morning and saw where they had changed our unit. The condo they gave us didn't have two king beds which is specifically why we had reserved the one we did. We paid the extra 4% fee to use the hot tub but it was a drive aross the highway and then quite a walk from parking lot. The patio was very noisy with highway traffic.

Perfect for fall break

Great location and property. We all loved our stay. Could see beautiful fall colors from the patio. Girls love the bunk bed. Fully furnished with all supplies. Only thing to note. there were food crumbs on floor and dishwasher was full. had to run it and empty to load ours.

Dirty sheets/ bathtub and shower

The property itself was very nice however it was not cleaned properly. The master bedroom sheets had hair and stains on them. The master shower also had hair in it on the walls. The master bathtub looked like it had not been cleaned in quite some time. Location and neighborhood were quite nice although would have been nice to know about ongoing construction.

The perfect place!

This place has the perfect location, close proximity to the resort and all it's amenities as well as the hiking trails. It was so easy to walk right out the door and hit a local trail with stunning views! We also loved the layout of this unit, perfect for a family. Everyone had their own space to relax. We loved the cozy sitting room off the master suite and it seemed to be the favorite spot for family tv watching in the evenings. Will definitely stay again!

Beautiful place to stay

This was a great place to stay. All the luxurys of home. We didn't need to take anything but our belongings and food. The only thing we weren't aware of was the additional fee for pool and hot tub. Also be aware that they are across the road at Pergatory.

Beautiful, Spacious, Well Equipped

This is our second stay in this unit. We stayed here last year and enjoyed it so much, we chose to stay again this year. The townhome is in an excellent location (a bit of a drive to Durango), has plenty of room and is well equipped for a family stay. We highly recommend this location.

Beautiful

Had trouble finding the pool! I had to ask a security guard how to find it! It’s not near the condo! You also have to pay extra to use the pool! Would of been nice to kno that info before hand! One of the toilets was clogged. The one in the upstairs master. That wasn’t that big of a deal because there were two other bathrooms. The property was perfect besides those small things. Absolutely beautiful home! The location was perfect! I would love to stay again and definitely recommend!!! ❤️

Spring Break adventure

The condo was everything advertised and more! We have stayed at so many different Putgatory condos but never at the Black Bear location. The three bedroom 2 1/2 bathrooms were very spacious and very well decorated. The two fireplaces, especially the one in the master bedroom, were an added bonus. The view from both decks of the ski resort and mountains were perfect. Having your own garage and driveway to park and unload and load all your luggage and gear made moving in and out so much easier. The “on demand” being free and so easy to use made this location just as nice or even better than being slopeside. The rental agency was very easy to work with and answered any questions promptly. Would highly recommend this property and the rental agency!

Nice Spot Away From Town

This was a great little spot for a weekend getaway. We drove down from Denver Thursday evening for the long Labor Day weekend. Place was super easy to find even at about midnight in the dark. Brought the dog with us and it was a great spot for him as well as there is good places to walk nearby. Place was very clean and a great access to local spots such as Silverton and I just a quick drive to Mesa Verde. The nugget and old school house or great little places to eat right down the street from where we’re staying, maybe a five minute drive.
