Black Bear Townhome Across from Purgatory - Views - Ski Shuttle

Black Bear (Unit 70) is located directly across the highway from Purgatory Resort and is a perfect base for your vacation no matter the season. Our townhome features 3 bedrooms & 2.5 baths, a gourmet kitchen with granite counters and stainless steel appliances includes a bar with seating and opens to the main living space and dining area, giving you plenty of space to relax.

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 - King Bed with TV (2nd Floor)
3rd bedroom - 2 sets of Bunk Beds (Single Over Single (Upstairs)

The townhome is not pet friendly - please do not bring pets.

Convenient for Skiers
We enjoyed our stay in this townhouse. it was well-stocked - including little boxes of items in each bathroom and kitchen - which I thought was a very nice bonus. We would recommend for skiers since the shuttle comes to your front door and brings you to the ski resort's front door!

Great fit for 2 families to share
This place hit all the right notes. Ample room to gather and eat, and beds for everyone. Shuttle to the mountain was easy to request and very handy. Fun week. Will definitely stay here again.

Comfortable
Road noise was bothersome. Without a/c and during a heat wave, windows had to stay open. The house was well appointed with basic cooking needs and a washer/dryer. It was nice to be able to use the garage for our car. Comfortable furnishings with 2 king rooms and one bunk room. Nothing fancy but just fine.

We will be back!
This is our second year at Black Bear, last year we rented the "biggest" townhouse in the community and we did not want to rent it again. Bigger is not always better. We were very pleased with this year's townhouse. It was very well equipped and clean. The two king sized beds were very comfortable, which was a nice change from last year's experience. The on-demand shuttle is wonderful for the skiers in the group, and it was also appreciated by our non skiers because it was easy for them to join us for lunch. Other reviews complained about the carpet. It is true is looks a bit worn, but then it is a rental property and unfortunately people are not always as responsible as they should be, so there are stains. That did not bother us at all. My greatest compliment is I will be renting this townhouse next season.

Great location!
Super convenient location! Love the Black Bear townhomes! Maintenance Issues -with this unit - master bather toilet flusher broken, so could not use (turned off water to stop running) kitchen trash can sensor not working so had to lift lid with hand all the time (gross) both these reported to management company on arrival but not fixed in the 5 days. No internet working even after up plugging - to restart. The name and passwords not listed for the house! Did not realize till the 2nd day - we just used our hotspots for laptop access!! Nothing that we would not stay again, as we were gone skiing all day and eating in Durango at night :)

Beautiful area
This was a beautiful area. The house itself was clean accept for an unflushed toilet and we didn't trust any of the dishes after we found a bowl with food on it. But other than that the rooms and bathrooms were clean and well decorated. The neighborhood was really cute and there is a cute lake down the road. Lots of great hiking trails nearby. We never did figure out where the hot tub and pool were. I thought they were nearby because of the pictures but we never found them. We never asked though. We had our dog with us and It worked out really good. There was a nice long tiled hallway in the entryway that was a great place for a bed and food for him.

Great place
The house was very clean and well prepared for our stay. I felt like we could contact the property manager easily, in case we needed anything (not that we did). It is a bit of a ways from Durango, but right across the street from Purgatory. It worked well for our family vacation.

Excellent location, accommodations for ski trip
We stayed four nights. The location is awesome, though it is about .8 mile to the base of the beginner area, so not walkable with young children carrying skis. The on-demand shuttle was prompt (within 10 minutes of calling), picked up right at the front door, and dropped off at whichever location at Purgatory Resort we wanted, which was awesome for the grandmother and young kids who wanted abbreviated ski days. Nice to know things for future guests: the garage was deep enough for us to park our Honda Pilot with hitch carrier attached. There is a rack on the wall for 4 sets of skis, and plenty of space for our boots to stay in the garage to dry out after skiing. The kitchen has everything you would need, except for sandwich bags, which would have been nice for packing our lunches. Coffee filters are provided for the coffee maker. There are foam pads for the fold-out sleepers, and plenty of sheets and towels. Just a tip for travelers, or a suggestion for the owner: One thing we brought ourselves, which might be a helpful addition for the owner to provide, were over-the-door hooks. Since we have skied with kids before and know that their outerwear tends to get scattered when they take it off after skiing, we brought our own hooks to keep their gear organized and hung right in the entryway/exit to the garage. There is a coat rack in the entryway, but we liked having additional room to hang our kids' ski clothing. The only issue we had was that the washer and dryer were not working, but an email to the owner resolved this quickly and we were able to use the washer and dryer the next day.

Awesome stay in the mountains!
My boyfriend, dog, and I enjoyed our stay in Durango at this awesome ski condo. We were there for three weeks and were able to walk our dog around the pond every morning and hike or mountain bike every evening. Would love to return one day!

The home is very nice, clean, and well-stocked with plenty of cooking supplies. The location was perfect for a quick walk around Twilight Lake or a longer hike on Purgatory Flats. I would definitely recommend staying there to others. My family had a great time!

A the perfect weekend getaway!
Our family of four, had a fabulous four-Day weekend at this lovely property! Our two girls, ages 8 & 10 LOVED being able to walk to the little lake and have picnics and play for hours. The condo is clean, well furnished and has everything you need for a comfortable stay. The management company took care of both of the request we had, quickly and efficiently! If you have a Jeep or other 4x4 vehicle, don’t miss the “LimeCreek Road” drive to Silverton (though not for the faint of heart!) Easy drive to the Four Corners Monument, ShipRock and Mesa Verde! If staying in is your thing.......this is a beautiful place to do that too! We’ll be back!

Mountain vacation
Overall location was great but this particular unit was along the highway and with windows and doorwalll open the car noise was obnoxious and with no A/C there was no other option in summer. Also garbage was left behind from prior guests and unit needs a good cleaning and or carpet replacement as it was very dirty. Bathroom drains also seem to be very slow.
