Great but what you need to know
My family had a great time there. Plenty of room . The kids enjoyed the loft where they played their PS4 a lot. We could have used more silverware and some more assortment of cooking pans, but we made do. The stairs was a bit much. There were a couple of us who could have really used the unavailable elevator. All the steps were very hard. We just didn’t realize so many steps. Should be in article when advertised. View was breath taking and all in all a very beautiful place.

We appreciate your feedback about the need for more silverware and cooking pans, and have taken inventory to replace and restock what is needed We apologize for the inconvenience caused by the stairs and the lack of an elevator and made sure this information is more clearly included in our listing. The breathtaking view and beautiful surroundings are truly special and we hope to welcome you back to experience them again soon! -Mackey

Family staycation
This was our second time renting the Cantilever. Its the one unit that provides our large family with plenty of space for everyone. We had four families adults and children and was plenty comfortable.
The views are stunning, all amenities in working condition.

lovely Cantilever Lodge
Beautiful home with all the amenities needed for our family of 12 + 3 babies. Property was clean, location was perfect for our walk to the slopes each day. Views from the giant picture windows were fantastic. Only issue was wifi - took us a while (about 12 hours) to get it working properly, and while the tech company we spoke to was very responsive, it took them a few calls and a stop at the house to get it up and running. Once it was addressed, no issues for the remainder of the days. One quick note - we brought extra paper towels, toilet paper, dishwasher pods and trash bags. Would recommend the same for anyone who has a group of 12 or more and is staying for 4-5 days.

A great gathering spce
Having stayed at this property annually for over 10 years, it is the perfect gathering spot for the family dinners. The large open Great Room is very comfortable and the large Wolf cooking range with it's two ovens is perfect.

Lovely timw
Beautiful views and nice living arrangements for a big family. The only downside was my mom has medical issues so all the steps were a problem for her.

Over the top property
This house is amazing! There was plenty of room for family and friends to gather together, but also have a minute to unwind alone.
The property gave good directions on how to get into the home, the home was clean, there were plenty of amenities for cooking. We went at the end of summer, but would like to return in the winter for skiing because it is a hop, skip and jump from the ski slopes.
We had to fumble with the sauna a little bit but over all it worked well and was a treat after a long day exploring and rafting.

Beautiful House and View
Expansive house with wonderful amenities and views! Large kitchen. Well supplied. Plenty of space to move around. Only negative is the elevators were locked. Understand new law with home elevators. We had no problems, but many steps to climb for some of the guests. Great time!

Incredible home in a great location right off the slopes. Comfortably fits a large group and has most of the kitchen and household items you would need for an extended stay.

Summer escape
Our group of friends had a wonderful time. The Cantilever Lodge is ideally located between Durango and Silverton at Purgatory Ski area so that we were only a short drive to many activities in the area. The Purgatory area itself offers many activities right out the door. We rode OHV side by sides all over the Purgatory mountain area and had a wonderful time. Will definitely travel to the area again and highly recommend the Cantilever Lodge!

Outstanding Views and Truly a Premier Property
This home was perfect for gathering our group together for breakfast and Apres skiing. The ample sized great room makes for the perfect place to cook and socialize in comfort without being crowded.
Keith, the property management company representative that I worked with, was professional and uber responsive to my requests. I highly recommend this property and Kieth.

Great place for a family reunion
From the moment we arrived at the lodge we could tell it was what we wanted. There are great views from all the balconies and also from inside on the main floor and the loft. The location was important because we could travel to Silverton and Ouray to the north and Durango and Mesa Verde to the south and west. There was one bedroom that did not have curtains or blinds on a large window, but that was quickly taken care of with a phone call. Our families get together once a year at a different location and this place is one of the best.

We just spent 4 nights in this beautiful home. Every room had magnificent views of Colorado's Fall colors!!! The location is perfect for exploring Durango, Silverton and Ouray.
