Description Description
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.

Book at least a week and a 10% discount is automatically applied (Excludes Christmas/New Years).

Stay with us and we offer DISCOUNTS on both summer (white water rafting, horseback riding etc.) and winter (ski/snowboard rentals, sleigh rides, snowmobile tours etc.) activities.

This $300 payment is applied toward the total amount due and is only refundable within 72 hours of the time of the booking is made. If your arrival date is within 30 days of booking, payment in full is required at the time of booking. Cancellations or changes to stay dates, including changes that result in a shortened stay, are not permitted within 30 days of arrival, and any such changes will result in a penalty.

Whether you're hiking, fishing, biking, skiing at Purgatory Ski Resort, or enjoying Durango’s one-of-a-kind restaurants VRC has your perfect private lodging accommodations.

Great location to enjoy Purgatory
Location can't be beat. Condo nicely furnished and on demand shuttle can't be beat. Garage for the car was a bonus.

Uncompromising customer service !!.
Our arrival into Durango was one that welcomed us with about five to six feet of snow, which was a GOOD thing as we were there to ski. The Black Bear unit was ready to enter a bit early---we checked before driving up to Purgatory---and that was great.

Condo was perfect for our small group. Originally there were going to be two couples and a single; however the second couple were not able to join us, and this turned out to be easier to accommodate people as far as bathroom layout. There is only one master bath. Two bedrooms share a bathroom ( Jack and Jill ) which would not have been comfortable for the second couple to use with another guest. THIS IS AN IMPORTANT PIECE OF INFORMATION WHEN CONSIDERING WHO WILL BE IN YOUR PARTY.

I have to say that the people at the Durango Vacation Rental Collective are most genuinely helpful, considerate and efficient agents I have ever had the pleasure to work with. Bill, Andy,and a delightful young lady (who arrived after we locked ourselves out and delivered a key..... yep, we managed to do that!) are incredibly responsive to renters' plights.

This unit did not have any foil, wrap, baggies, or napkins, so you may want to bring your own. We usually do when traveling, just in case! The speed at which units are turned over sometimes creates a few things forgotten, but no complaints from me; it is a hard job.

Enjoy Black Bear if you are considering these units. the location can't be beat and the Shuttle is amazingly there to greet you just by thinking about it!

Perfect Winter/Ski Getaway
My family loved staying in this beautiful condo, directly across the street from the ski slopes! The shuttle is super easy and convenient, so you can pop back to the house for lunch, etc. while visiting the resort. We had room for everyone, and the kitchen was so well-stocked, we had everything we needed. The bedding was very comfortable and everything was spotless. They even provided multiple sleds for the tubing area at the Purgatory resort, which was perfect for my little kids who were too young to ski. In the evenings we stayed in and enjoyed BOTH fireplaces, while we played games and drank hot chocolate. I couldn’t have asked for a better vacation rental. We will definitely be returning!

Snowy Getaway
Our family planned a road trip and Colorado was our first stop. Glad we booked this house. It was right across the ski resort and well equipped. We were lucky to have been there when it snowed too. The house had all conveniences that anyone could ask for. From the kitchen to the bedrooms, everything was perfect. We will definitely be back.
