Great location all restaurants on site closed New Year’s Day.
Clean property, nice pool and hot tub. Great for a family that doesn't want to break the bank. Purgatory shuttle is the way to go. Beat the lines, parking, and walking.

Reviewer Comments:
I was extremely dissatisfied with my recent stay at Tamarron Lodge Studio - 306 managed by Vacation Rental Collective.Clean bedding is the absolute most basic expectation for any accommodation, and failing to provide fresh linens is completely unacceptable. Beyond that issue, the property was poorly cleaned and maintained: - Dirty Linens & Storage: The bed linens were not fresh, and the extra comforter in the closet was thrown haphazardly on the top shelf. - Carpet Stains: The carpet had large, noticeable stains in multiple areas. - Poor Housekeeping: Housekeeping left behind trash (a water bottle and gloves) and missed basic dusting. - Unsanitary Bathroom & Kitchen: The shower curtain had a persistent, musty odor, and leftover food from previous guests was left in the refrigerator.While customer service responded via email, the overall lack of cleanliness and hygiene made for a very disappointing experience. I would not recommend staying here.

Positives: Window view is outstanding. Clean bath, adequate kitchen, extra pillows and blanket, spa and pool well maintained.Attention needed: no maid service (surprise!), no map of hotel showing where to find ice, snacks, trash disposal, pool/hot tub; bedside lamp shade torn and needs rim reglued, both bedside table and dining table needed wipe down for dust and crumbs, both bedskirts torn and hanging, one bedskirt has large stain, ice forming on fridge shelf, no containers, bags or wraps for leftover foods. Why not place TV across from couch? Comfortable couch could be used for viewing tv.

Check in was very smooth and was taken care of in under five minutes, the front desk Clerk I was assisted by was very welcoming, kind and professional. The grounds are very well kept, in a great location and is a very beautiful property. Although we don’t golf I must say that the golf course is immaculate.Our room was comfortable with a very nice mountain view and all scenery, room was clean. Prior to checking in we shopped for some groceries at the City Market to accommodate our two night stay, our only complaint would be is that the refrigerator that the groceries were stored in froze overnight, the salad tray and a separate head of lettuce were both lost. The items that froze up were indeed stored in the refrigerator in their proper location. All other items were extremely cold but did not freeze as the others. I would highly encourage the owners to look at the refrigerator and possibly adjust the temperature accordingly to not allow the frozen temperatures.Other than our frozen items our short trip was enjoyable, we have previously vacationed at the Tamarron Lodge before and that is why we returned.
For the short bit of time we spent on the property, it was great. I don't know what I liked better, the wonderful mountain views, the spacious room or the cozy open areas. It was a great stay, Thank You
This property was beautiful! The view from the room was breathtaking. The amenities on site were wonderful and gave our family something to do. The restaurant at the golf course was very good and reasonably priced. We greatly loved our stay!

We came to the Durango area for our first family ski trip with our three kids ages 8,6,4. The studio was perfect. The pool and hot tub area are amazing. Very convenient location to Purgatory and Durango for restaurants, etc. The internet access was horrible. Was unable to connect any of the kids devices. We didn’t have much down time, so this did not ruin our trip, but guests should know before booking. The sofa bed mattress is not good at all. It was OK for kids but I do not think it is suitable for adults. Overall, a wonderful five days at Tamarron which we really enjoyed. We will be back!

Needs updating
It was a great location. Bigger room than we thought. However towels were old, refrigerator froze everything, not enough sheets for pull out. It need a bathroom, kitchenette, carpet, and furniture update.
