The entire house was very clean and the view was unbelievably great. Easy access to the lifts and could watch my grandkids in ski classes from the balcony.
We had a great week at the cabin, the location was great and the size of the cabin was perfect for our family. Had a great week of skiing, so nice to be close to the slopes!
The house was perfect. Close enough to the lifts to walk and big enough for 10 college kids to stay comfortably. Big garage to park a car as well. Overall a great vacation!
I've been coming to Colorado and New Mexico on family / group ski trips since I was a kid. This was a great place to stay and true to its description - the beds were comfortable, good size rooms and more than adequate "community" spaces in the kitchen, dinning room and living room. We had one or two [MINOR] snafus but the host was quick on response. Great place.
We had a great time staying at this location. The location is idea for quick access to the slopes! Having a garage was idea for storing items and a vehicle or two. This home has a nice small covered porch- perfect for the kiddos to have lunch or a hot cocoa between bouts of playing in the snow. Very nice stay.

We are so happy that you enjoyed our home. Purgatory Resort is such a wonderful place for families. You are welcome back any time. Thanks for leaving the house in such great shape!
We absolutely enjoyed our stay in Purgatory at this house. The location was perfect and and the views were beautiful. The house is close enough to Durango and very close to the Million Dollar Highway. The house slept 10 as mentioned (5 beds) but plenty of space to spread out. It was the perfect size for our group!

So glad you enjoyed our home. You are welcome back anytime! Thank You!
Stay was perfect. Very short walk to main lift at Purgatory. The property was exactly as described. Home was stocked well with everything you need plus some. Communication/responses from the owner was extremely quick. Winter views are amazing. Hope to stay here again in the future.

We are pleased you enjoyed your vacation in our home and you will be welcome back anytime. It is wonderful several generations could stay together and liked your idea of making memories to share.
still an awesome spot and good for the family- it was a bit more dirty than last year and somewhat dated- firewood would be a huge addition. I had to do snow shoveling as there was frozen snow banks on the driveway with just a narrow strip for one car. nice heated garage! We would like to return next year unless the price goes up!
Great location, beautiful views, good space for a group but not clean.
Everythiing was good with the exception of the cleanliness of the property. Dishes were dirty, kitchen counter had food on it from previous guest, bathrooms were not cleaned. Overall the comfort level was not good because the property was dirty.

Really sorry. Had hired company unfamiliar with vacation rentals. They didn’t check cupboards, fridge, windows and drawers because they were used to owner occupied homes. Took us a little while to figure what the issue was. When questioned they felt it wasn’t their responsibility. Again I am really sorry.

Purgatory getaway
location was perfect for all we wanted to do. House allowed us to have a good central spot. The one thing I will share is that the house itself needs to be deep cleaned. Carpets...windows. Hard to enjoy a spectacular view with dirty windows. Owner is nice. I did however appreciate having to haul off trash simply because it did not fit in cleaning service vehicle. I think sometimes the hospitality aspect of some these rentals are lost.

I am really sorry. The crew I had until this summer fell apart when work fell off so they moved out of town. I hired a new company not realizing they were unfamiliar with vacation homes and didn't realize windows and garbage hauling were part of their tasks. Both the cleaning company and I realize the mistake we made so we agreed after a couple of pre-approved cleanings and I can hire a new group. I will get someone to take care of the windows and other items. Thank you for letting me know about these issues. Again I am truly sorry.

Nice but needs updating
The house was nice and clean, except for the kitchen was dirty, all dishes had a flim on them, the dishwasher was dirty, all the shelves for pots and pans dirty. 2 of the beds had sheets that did not fit. The house is very spacious just needs some updating. The couches were flat and hard, used the grill outside but it was also dirty very old.

I am so sorry. The water is hard on the mountain and is a constant issue that everyone has been trying to resolve. I just changed cleaning companies and they must have used the wrong sheets. I will make sure it gets straightened out.
Thanks for the info.
