Spectacular mountain views and wooded privacy between Durango and Purgatory Resort. Spacious, comfortable, cozy, private and convenient are just a few of the words that accurately describe this newly constructed, mountain-contemporary home. 

Some vacation homes offer a comfortable respite after the day’s activities and experiences, but Castle Rock Retreat is the kind of house, that to many, becomes part of the experience. This new home offers contemporary mountain decor, providing roomy comfort for up to eight guests with three bedrooms, 2.5 baths, a well-equipped kitchen, multiple decks, welcoming living/dining room with TV, movie library, and games for the family, upstairs loft and home office with TV, and grand mountain views from windows and decks. The home features Starlink WIFI with average internet speeds are around 100mbs which allows for multiple devices to streaming content (the home features Hulu for live TV/Sports).

One of the home’s most unique features is the covered deck with outdoor furniture and gas fireplace, with remarkable views of the Hermosa Cliffs. This home is located within about a seven-minute drive to Purgatory Resort, about 30 minutes from downtown Durango and the Durango Train, and Mesa Verde National Park is a scenic one-hour drive to the Southwest.
 
Consistent with most Colorado mountain resorts, the home does not offer air-conditioning.

The mountain view from the kitchen and adjacent bar area, is of Engineer Mountain. One of the area’s iconic peaks, the 12,968 foot mountain is a popular hiking and mountain biking area in summer and passed by all travelers on the famous San Juan Scenic Byway when driving to the town of Silverton and beyond.

Bed Configuration:
Master Bedroom - King Bed with ensuite bath (Main level)
2nd Bedroom - King bed (Upper Level)
3rd Bedroom - Bunk beds with full-sized bed and three twins beds (Upper level) 

Please note there is a security camera outside on the front of the home to monitor snow. It is motion detected and pointed high to see driveway and road. There are no other cameras inside the home. There is no access to the detached garage. The home is not pet friendly so please do not bring your pets.

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.

Please note that, like most properties in the area, this home does not have AC, as it is uncommon for homes at this elevation. Temperatures inside the property are easily managed by using fans and opening the windows at night when temperatures drop into the 40s.

Peace and quiet with a million dollar view

by Charaka D.
The homes on Lake Purgatory Dr are some of the nicest views in Colorado. The team at VRC consistently delivers a high quality home.
Charaka, thank you for the great review and for returning to Vacation Rental Collective! We once again enjoyed hosting you and are glad you got to experience those fantastic views! We look forward to hosting you again! -Mackey

Perfect for two families

by Travis H.
Our two families had a great time. Two king bedrooms for the parents and a bunk room for all the kids. House was really nice and clean. Loved the location and setup - a bit off the beaten path, some outdoor space for kids to play in the snow, and great mountain views from inside the house. Nice wood fireplace. Would like a better setup for storing skis and boots overnight (eg access to garage). Driving to the house does require 4wd/Awd. Great place and setup for us. Would stay there again.
Thank you for sharing your experience! We're thrilled to hear that both families had a great time at the house and that the accommodations suited your needs perfectly, with two king bedrooms for the parents and a bunk room for the kids. It's wonderful that you found the house nice and clean, and that you loved the location, setup, and mountain views. We appreciate your feedback regarding ski and boot storage and will certainly consider options for improvement, such as providing access to the garage. Your note about the requirement for 4WD/AWD to access the house is duly noted for future guests. We're delighted that you had a great stay overall and would be thrilled to welcome you back for another enjoyable stay in the future!

Rock Castle Getaway

Fantastic private home in Durango area. This is a beautiful new home that has two wonderful decks to enjoy nature. Comfortable beds and great bathrooms/showers. It is not stocked like some condominiums, so be aware you will need everything but the basic linens, toilet paper, and paper towels, etc. We had a fantastic stay!
Thank you for taking the time to leave a review! We are so glad to hear you enjoyed your stay with Vacation Rental Collective. 🙂 Glad you enjoyed the property so much. We hope you come stay with us again soon!

Awesome home in the woods!

We had an amazing time staying at this property. This is our 4th rental in the Durango area and definitely our favorite. We stayed here for 2 weeks and had everything we needed. The kitchen was very well stocked. Beds were very comfortable. Everything functioned properly. Very Clean.

We had one very small issue with the TV midway through our stay and the property management company was very responsive and help us resolve it quickly.

We even had some deer visitors!

As described... but better

by Marc P.
We've stayed at a lot of vacation rentals... this was one of the best. We loved the layout of the property, the quality finishings, the lighting (dimmer switches) and the several seating areas. The beds were comfortable. The home was very well appointed and stocked with all the necessities. This is one of those amazing places that you don't want to leave. My only recommendation is to communicate that the owners request that guests remove shoes... which is totally understandable given the immaculate condition of the property! Just would have been good to know as we would have brought "house footwear". We look forward to returning!
Thank you so much for your review! We are so glad you and your guests enjoyed your stay with Vacation Rental Collective. We hope to host you again in the future!
