Family Spring Break
by Travonda S.
Family ski trip was great. This was our first time not staying in ski-in/ski-out and it worked just fine. Shuttle was dependable and on time. With one in our party not skiing, dropping off and picking up was a breeze as well. Overnight ski storage also helped. The home was great. No complaints at all.
Thank you for sharing your experience! We're thrilled to hear that your family ski trip was great and that staying at a location without ski-in/ski-out access worked out well for you. It's fantastic that you found the shuttle service dependable and on time, and that dropping off and picking up was easy, especially with one member of your party not skiing. We're glad that the overnight ski storage was convenient for you as well. We're delighted that you found the home great and that you have no complaints at all. We appreciate your feedback and hope to welcome you back for another wonderful ski trip in the future!

Best house for a Family Stay
by Jeanne B.
This house is great! We have stayed here twice now with family and both times have been wonderful. We come skiing and the shuttle picks you up at the front door and drops you off right at the village.
The house has plenty of space and is very clean. Would highly recommend! Property management is so easy to work with and always very friendly.

Beautiful Home Across from Purgatory Ski Resort
by Jill A.
This home was perfect for our weekend ski trip to Purgatory. The house was close to the ski resort and the complementary shuttle to and from the resort takes the bother of driving and parking away. The home was as described, very clean and well stocked with everything we needed. We cooked our own meals, and the kitchen had all items necessary. Property Management was responsive and answered all of my questions quickly. I would recommend this property for anyone, but especially for larger groups.

Snowy New Years Vacation
by Amy R.
We so enjoyed our stay in this beautiful house. The kitchen was well equipped with every option you could think of, & everything about the house was spotless. The snow was incredible (48 inches while there), & a hired service even came & cleared the driveway. Great place to stay with a large group, & hope to return.
Thank you for taking the time to leave a review! We are so glad to hear you enjoyed your stay with Vacation Rental Collective & the large snow dump during your stay. 🙂 Glad you enjoyed the property so much. We hope you come stay with us again soon!

Loved the home and the deck
by Carol H.
This home has everything you need. We came for hiking knowing Colorado was closed due to Covid19 so this location was perfect. The house had everything you need if you plan on cooking. Clean and extremely comfortable.
Thank you for taking the time to leave a review! We are so glad to hear that you enjoyed this property and your stay in Durango 🙂 We're glad you got to come enjoy the beautiful outdoors here despite everything else being closed for your visit.

Great House in great location
by laurie O.
The house is exactly as shown on VRBO website. Very comfortable, clean, centrally located. Keith was very professional and extremely easy to work with. The kitchen was very well stocked with cooking utensils, dishes and bar utensils and all your basic spices etc.. All rooms have smart TV’s. Suggest you take Chromecast or Fire stick for the living room TV which is not a smart TV but is connected to Dish and DVD player so there are still has a lot of options available. The deck was very nice addition with working grill.
Thank you so much for your awesome review! We are so happy to hear you enjoyed the home and it's amenities as much as we do 🙂 We hope you will choose Premier Vacation Rentals Group for your future stays!

Great spot to use when skiing
by Larry I.
The house was great. The kitchen had everything that we needed to cook a variety of meals during our stay. We had four adults and six kids and we had plenty of space. We used the shuttle everyday. It was very convenient and timely. We are already planning our return trip.
We appreciate the thoughtful review, Larry! We're so glad you enjoyed the home and it was a pleasure to host you and your group. Premier Vacation Rentals looks forward to hosting you again soon 🙂

64 Engineer Drive
Our extended family had a wonderful stay! The house easily accommodated all 11 of us and was in a great location. The home was very clean and beautifully decorated. Keith was very helpful with our questions. We all enjoyed the close proximity to Purgatory Village, beautiful golf courses, river rafting and horseback riding. We are ready to go back!
Thank you for the thoughtful review! So happy you enjoyed your stay. It was a pleasure to host you and your group and we hope you choose Durango Premier Vacation Rentals again for your next visit!

Family Ski Vacation 2018
by Jeanne B.
Absolutely fantastic!! We had the house on Engineer and the house on Storm Lake a few hundred feet away. Both houses had plenty of room for the 20+ people we had. Kitchens were well equipped and the house was spotless. Property Manager was always available and I have worked with for several years now.
Such great guests! We hope you enjoyed yourself and use Durango Premier Vacation Rentals the next time you are searching for a vacation rental. It would be our pleasure to host you again any time.

Great vacation to Durango
by Carla L.
Wonderful time in Durango with kids and grandkids. There wasn't much snow around house area, but lots up the mountain. Purgatory staff loaned grandkids sleds and directed us to great sledding areas. Kids skied one day then took grandkids back for kiddie run. Everyone loved the Polar Express and hiking in the woods. The home was even better than described, kitchen had everything you could possibly need for cooking. A cozy fire was great on those cold nights. Keith(prop mgr)was very helpful when we had questions. I would definitely recommend this property and PVRentals to anyone going to Durango or anywhere. We're already missing the place.
Thank you for staying with us! We hope you choose Durango Premier Vacation Rentals the next time you are looking for a vacation rental.

Wonderful family vacation home
Stayed for 4 nights for a family wedding and couldn't have worked out better. The house was clean, well appointed, and gave us all enough space to relax, unwind, and entertain. Close to the highway and resort, but secluded enough for some privacy and great views of the mountain. Would definitely consider staying again.
Thank you for your stay. It was a pleasure having you as our guest and thanks so much for taking the time to write a review about this great property. We hope you choose Durango Premier Vacation Rentals the next time you are looking for a vacation rental.

Fun family vacation in Purgatory !
by Margie J.
The House was very clean , comfortable , and had everything for all our cooking needs, which was a big plus for us !
The deck was beautiful, but a little small for nine of us , and no yard at all !
Also a lot of road noise, but we were warned about it in advance, so it wasn't a surprise.
All in all it was a great house, and we had a great time!
It was a pleasure to host you! Thanks so much for taking the time to write a review about this great property. We hope you choose Durango Premier Vacation Rentals the next time you are looking for a vacation rental.

Best Family trip EVER!!!
by Tammy Q.
This was the best family vacation from start to finish!! Keith took care of everything - he answered all my crazy questions and made sure our stay was perfect!! the house was even better in person then on the pictures - The fireplace in the master room was outstanding!! all the rooms were adequate size for our entire group of 10 We were so close to purgatory that we could ski and come back to the house to eat and go back- we found a restaurant called "old School house" THEY HAVE THE BEST PIZZA -not a great place for little kids but the food was amazing - I suggest getting groc. in Durango before you get to the house - They had blenders/blow dyers/full washing machine and dryer - every room had a TV and the beds were great!! def staying there next year!!
Bennie, Joyce and Julian from Tampa
We loved the house well appointed, great location from Purgatory. It snowed twice while there so snowboarding was perfect. Would love to go back in July but it's already booked. Our loss.
Group Family Spring Break Ski Vacation
We rented this house plus another one across the way for multi-family week long ski trip. The houses were great. Well appointed and spacious. This house is close to the highway, but in the winter at least you can't hear a thing... it's perfectly fine. We had two families (4 adults, 4 children under 10) in this house and it was plenty big.

New Year Ski Vacation - Awesome!!
by Todd M.
Beautiful home located just down the street from the Purgatory Resort. The cabin was perfect for our group. We took advantage of the free shuttle to the resort each day to ski. Then back home to the cabin to relax with dinner and warm fire place. Cabin was beautifully appointed, kitchen, bedrooms, family room - all very nice.

Beautiful White Christmas
Amenities were great. But for the price feel dishes(chipped) and towels(poor condition) could of been much better.
Thanks for your feedback. We have replaced the towels that were at the end of their useful life. Sorry we did not get to it before your stay.

Late Summer Vacation Rental
by Tom J.
The house was beautiful and very well appointed. The only issues we had were the noise from the traffic on the 550 and the knives in the kitchen need sharpening. I butchered quite a few tomatoes. 😉 Overall we enjoyed our stay and would rent it again but only if the rate were less to compensate for the road noise.
Thanks for your feedback. Given the topography, all properties within 1/2 mile of the Highway will experience some level of road noise. This home is certainly ideally located within the resort community with easy year-round access to a prolific array of amenities, trails networks, the ski area and open space.

Home Away from Home
Excellent accommodations and amenities! Home was beautiful,.......very warm and welcoming. Location very convenient, and perfectly appointed for 5 adults and 5 grandchildren (ages 2-10) We will definitely return, and be glad to give "Rave" reviews to friends and family! Thanks for helping create a memorable trip!!!

Durango Vacation
by Stephen A.
Very pleasant cabin with lots of room. Well furnished and clean. Only drawback is proximity to highway which meant some road noise. Well outside of town which was ok with us but could be an issue for some people.

Perfect House
by Jake T.
The house was great. It was clean and just as described.
Manager was very helpful and everything worked out as planned.
House is great...location can be noisy
by Vanessa B.
This house was a great house for our family! The decor is beautiful and it had everything we needed to be comfortable. The only drawback to this house is the location to the highway. I could see that in winter it might not being as busy on the road, but in the summer, when you need the windows open all day and night, it was extremely noisy and the motorcycles were the worst! If you are looking for peace and quiet, this would not be a good choice for you:(. Beautiful house though!
Thanks for your feedback. Some road noise is expected from mountain properties at this elevation because easy access is a premium in an environment with 300 inches of snowfall annually. This home is certainly ideally located within the resort community with easy year-round access to a prolific array of amenities, trails networks, the ski area and open space. We appreciate your feedback and will be mindful of explaining the location accurately to our future guests so their expectations are not undermined.
Family get together
by Eddie W.
Wonderful week! The house was just as advertised, a beautiful, comfortable, large vacation home. Loved the deck, the pool table, the privacy, and the awesome kitchen. We have never seen a vacation house furnished so adequately! The pull out bed in the loft was not good, but the blow up mattress worked just as well. Need another set of sheets for the loft and no sign of advertised ping pong table, but these negatives were far outweighed by the positives
Thanks for the review. The ping pong table was removed from the house and the listing has been updated accordingly. Had we been advised there were not sheets for the pull out sofa in the loft - we would have brought them to you immediately.
Wonderful . Every thing we needed.
Fishing, train ride to Silverton, great restaurants,lots of summer fun. We were close by to Purgatory and fun rides for the kids. Plenty of room in the house. Needs a better hide a bed and the exhaust in the dryer needs cleaned for better efficiency, otherwise everything was great. Thanks!
Perfect place and location
64 Engineer Drive is an awesome home with a great location . It is a perfect place to vacation with family and friends.
Durango Ski Vacation
Beautifully decorated and maintained house provided us with all the amenities of a home away from home. Well-equipped gourmet kitchen and an outdoor gas grill provided us with all the tools for putting together great meals for our family. Real wood burning fireplace and a game room with pool table kept us entertained as we unwound after a long day of skiing. Very comfortable and charming home!
Durango Mountain Resort is located right up the road (1/4 mile) and provided free transportation to and from the resort. Simply call and they were very prompt in picking you up right at your door step. You can also use the resort facilities, such as the hot tub or work out facilities. Highly recommend the hot tub!
Located approximately 24 miles outside of town, its quiet, but exactly what we were looking for. We made a few trips into town for groceries and found that City Market had a great selection. We went out one night to the Sows Ear and it was great! It’s on the expensive side but well worth it. The ambiance and service was spot on and the meal was fantastic. I had the elk tenderloin and my wife had the salmon. All were cooked to perfection and seasoned well.
We did one excursion which included a steam train ride from the train depot in town to Cascade Canyon. The views were spectacular and after a two hour ride we stopped for lunch that we brought ourselves. On the way back were dropped off midway, where we were picked up by the “Ice Pirates” team for some snowmobiling. This was the highlight of the day and they provided everything. They drop you off in town when finished. It was a long day but well worth it.
Can’t wait to do it all again next year!

Durango New Years
Beautiful home. Completely equipped for cooking and great layout for two couples and teens. Teens skied to overflow parking and walked across highway to home. Only issue was that I assumed, with your pictures, that I could use workout facility free and could not without paying large price.
Thanks for your feedback. Sorry for any confusion, the VRBO listing specifically states that for an optional 4% resort fee, you can access the pool, hot tub and gym at the Durango Mountain Club.

Comfortable perfectly appointed family home
by Cathy P.
The house is beautiful and comfortablevery cozy in winter. The bathrooms are fresh and beautifully done. The kitchen is well stocked and the garage big enough for 2 vehicles. The house is convenient to Purgatory and in a beautiful subdivision. The only downside is it is near the highway so it does not have a beautiful view.
