About this property
Cabin on Lake Purgatory across from Purgatory Ski Area - Specials Now
Durango, Colorado holds the beauty of a vanished world. It is the most tranquil place mixed with history, recreation, and unerasable memories. Our 2600+ square foot custom home on 20 acres is nestled in the mountains overlooking beautiful Columbine Lake. The brilliance of Engineer and Spud Mountain can be seen to the North, and to the East the Animas River which flows through the La Plata Mountains.
The home was created by the hands of a master with each window intricately creating a new view of the lake. Giant doors lead you onto a deck where you'll find a hot tub that you can soak in after your daily activities. At night the sky is so black, you'll feel like you're sitting under an umbrella of stars. The night is so peaceful you can hear the fish in the water. You'll be located at an elevation of 9000 feet somewhere in the vicinity of the gods. The interior is very comfortable with all luxurious amenities that will connect you back to the real world. Now that you've found the perfect place to visit, look no further for a place to stay.
You can walk out and fish for rainbow, brook and brown trout in the backyard. We have a boat you can take out to fish the lake. Boat agreement provided. It is a private lake so you won't see many others. Fishing gear available, you must use catch and release hooks. Summer is the busy season in Durango, you can ride the train, hike, bike, bobsled at the ski area across the street, horseback riding, gold panning or rest and read a book. We are 26 miles north of Durango. If you have any questions please feel free to call. Experience Durango, Colorado.
**We do not allow private boats, kayaks, paddle boards, etc to protect the lake from zebra mussels. Please speak to owners about lake needs.
“In the winter, a 4WD/AWD vehicle equipped with snow tires or chains is required in this area, please be prepared.”
Colorado Sales Tax License # 01514172-0000
No PETS, $500.00 additional fee for pets found on premises.
**Please note there are security cameras only outside the home to monitor the driveway, the master bedroom deck and path to the lake.

About the host
Hosted by Marcia
Original fixer uppers, who found this unique location to build a tranquil home. You will enjoy a home where photos do not do it justice. Relaxing in the beautiful atmosphere of Lake Purgatory is spellbinding. We joined vrbo in 1998, our listing #1046 shows longevity. We have been sharing our home to many return guests who treat it as their own.
Why they chose this property
Create family memories in an open atmosphere, family friendly and nature abounds out the windows on the lake. You will see beavers, catch and release assorted trout, see osprey, maybe even an eagle.
What makes this property unique
Professional photographers have been unable to capture the natural beauty of the home and views from all the windows. Walk out and fish (catch and release) in the backyard
