About this property

Affordable Purgatory Ski in/Ski Out Condo in the Main Plaza

Our 2 bedroom, 2 bath 1,200 sq. ft. condo (Unit 414) in the Village Center building offers the ultimate convenience in winter or summer as it is located in the heart of Purgatory Village only steps from the primary high-speed lift to the top of the mountain, the Purgatory Express. Just like its namesake indicates, the Village Center is at the epicenter of the Durango Mountain Resort and Purgatory experience. There is no better location for your winter or summer adventures.

The condo is located on a single level on the 4th floor with elevator access and a deck to enjoy the views of Spud Mountain and the Needles Mountain Range, perhaps the most stunning and gorgeous array of 14,000 foot peaks in all of the Colorado Rockies. The condo also features a washer/dryer and WIFI.

The building features a hot tub on the roof with great views, a restaurant, 2 bars, an arcade, a slope side deck, Purgatory’s ski school, the Purgatory childcare facility, 2 ski rental shops (one for high performance gear), and the resort’s premier shopping location, Purgatory Sports. With the deli right next door offering great sandwiches, breakfast, and light groceries, you truly won’t have to get in your car after you arrive.

Main Bedroom - King Bed with TV and Ensuite Bath (Main Floor)
2nd Bedroom - King Bed with TV and Ensuite Bath (Main Floor)
3rd Bedroom (Main Living Space) - Queen Pullout Sofa (Main Floor)

Stayed there for 5 nights. I read the reviews thoroughly. Saw something about the beds being firm, or not having smart tvs, and contacted the property manager regarding this and other concerns. Beds have been updated with mattress covers and a memory foam pad, which made them not bad at all. They recommend bringing my fire stick and worked perfectly. The size of the apartment was perfect for 5 guests. Read that the dishwasher did not work properly, but it worked for us! Although I have to say and I do rinse dishes before washer. Loved that it had washer/dryer in the unit, and a complete functioning kitchen. The property managers answer super quickly and replied all my questions. The location it’s a suuuper win. Right there on the spot! Yes it’s view it’s to the back of the tower but did not mind, we were there !! I also wear earplugs that helps when the tower crew are working. The shops right in the same building. The skiing was super fun! We are a beginner to intermediate family , so everything felt perfect. We loved our time here ! Definitely coming back. !!

You can't beat the location. Take the elevator down to the rental shop, shopping, restaurants and slopes. I particularly liked being able to go down to the rental shop in comfortable clothes and be able to go back upstairs to gear up for the day. We will be back for our ski vacation next year for sure.

The location is great. You are above the rental shop (remember to do your rentals online beforehand) and the pizza place and just off the main lift. Easy to go in for lunch and take off your boots. The beds are hard and the TVs are outdated which was disappointing since smart TVs are pretty much everywhere. As a result, bring a hook up from your phone or tablet to the TVs if you want to watch a streaming service. The layout is great for a family of 4-6. Two rooms each with a king bed which is great (just wish they were a little more comfortable) and then a living room separates the rooms and has a pull out couch. Kitchen is fine. Small but works. Overall…the location keeps this a 4 but a few upgrades to the beds and TVs would be nice and make it a 5. Hopefully the owners do that soon…but I would probably book again and just deal with beds or look at reviews more closely to find one that is in that same building with better beds. Could easily be a 5 with the tweaks I mentioned.

Great location!

This is a great spot for those that want to have easy access to the slopes, as the lifts are right next to the building. It was the perfect size for us and another couple, but bathrooms could use an update. Only major downside is the one small elevator for the whole building and no access to the stairs. Many times when the elevator would finally stop on our floor it was full, so it would take several rounds before we could get up/down. Overall it was pretty good and we would stay here again because you cannot beat the location!

Great location!! We missed having access to ski lockers. We had an issue with there not being enough bowls and the skillets were old. The property brought us brand new items the next morning! Excellent communication. The place is older, but clean. The only complaint is the bathrooms.....they need a remodel. There was no light inside one of the showers and mold.

Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: Great location with easy access to everything Purgatory has to offer. My only complaint is that the sheets on the beds were definitely slept in before us! Thankfully we all had our own pillows at least, but it looked like the beds were made right over dirty sheets. Otherwise, everything I needed was already in the condo and there was plenty of room to spread out.

Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: The resort was fantastic! First time to Durango but certainly not the last. The condo was spacious for our family. Loved having a washer and dryer to do our clothes. It was in a great location, easy to get to, lots to do here with the kids. We never heard from Keith before or during the trip. I actually had to contact him before we left for directions as we never received an email, that was a bit disappointing. Great condo, just needs some updating with appliances , cookware and furniture, however it was very affordable.

Thanks for the feedback. An email containing the directions and access information is sent the day the property is booked along with the Reservation Confirmation. Specific to this guest, it was emailed on June 30 when the reservation was made and the email was then forwarded on July 9 when the guest was not able to find the original email and contacted us. We always answer our phone and respond to emails timely if guests have questions or problems or need any type of assistance. It is our standard procedure not to contact guests during their vacation (its one of the many reasons guests choose vacation rentals vs. a hotel room). The condo is very affordable for the very reasons mentioned.

Purgatory - Presidents Weekend 2017

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was very happy with the location. I was very satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: I was a little skeptical by reading the reviews, but the place is great! The onsite management is available 24/7. The house is just perfect for a ski weekend. There were plenty of necessary items and also washing detergent. The best part is the location. When you walk out your door, you only have to walk 40 feet to the elevator. Take that elevator to floor 2 and you are 20 feet from the exit to the lift. In other words, you can be at the lift in just a couple minutes. Don't pass on this based on prior reviews, you won't be disappointed.

Perfect location for Purgatory Skiing

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was very happy with the location. I was more than satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: This condo was overall a great place to stay as a family of 4 for Christmas vacation. There were a couple of things I would offer suggestions on. The condo faces the parking lot which has a very bright security light that is directly outside the master window. The blinds were fine, but I would add some black out curtains for less brightness. Also the shower curtain in the master bathroom was about 6” too short, which allowed water to go everywhere. And finally, the TV’s were only on cable, with no option to stream any Netflix/Hulu. This day and age, I haven’t ever stayed in a rental that didn’t have a smart TV for the renter to log into their accounts. That was a bummer as we didn’t get to watch Christmas football. Again, awesome location, nicely outfitted kitchen, but could stand a few small upgrades.
Response from VrboOwner on 30 December 2024
Thank you so much for your thoughtful and detailed feedback! We're delighted to hear that you and your family enjoyed your Christmas vacation at the condo and appreciated the location and well-outfitted kitchen. We truly value your suggestions and will carefully consider them to improve our guests’ experiences. Adding blackout curtains in the master bedroom is a great idea to enhance comfort, and we’ll address the shower curtain length to prevent water issues. Additionally, we understand the importance of streaming options and will explore upgrading the TVs to include smart features for future stays. Your insights help us provide the best possible experience, and we hope to welcome you back in the future with these updates in place. Thank you again for choosing to stay with us! -Mackey

Fun resort for kids and adults!

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was very clean. I was very happy with the location. I was satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: Nice location half-way to Silverton from Durango. Nice view out the window. Lots of activities (though cost $$). Fun pool with warm water and very fun slide. (Good thing the water was warm, as the air was often cool due to altitude.) Live music on site. Party-ish atmosphere. The suite itself has seen better days, with worn carpet, trim, etc. The suite seemed to stay overly warm even when it was cool outside. It had a lot of unnecessary bric-a-brac that helped make it easy to lose possessions, and there was a weird thing with the bathroom door barely clearing the toilet, but all appliances and plumbing functioned satisfactorily. The building entrances were not always secured, making me nervous, but the only real problem was that the internet wifi and cell phone coverage left much to be desired. PCs worked okay, but MacBook and iPad users had to go down the hall to get an adequate connection. Similarly, Verizon cell phone users had to go outside the building to get reception.

No, just no

Maybe if you're only staying a night or two you could deal with this disaster, but this place is just awful. It's not any one thing, it's that the whole thing is just bad in a ton of little ways. As other reviews have mentioned, the beds are terrible. It's like sleeping on concrete, and yes, they put mattress toppers on the beds, but they're still not good at all. In summer, you have to leave the windows open at night, but the resort delivery area is right outside your window, so every day before dawn, we were woken up by the BEEP BEEP of commercial vehicles in reverse. One day that happened at 4:00 AM. The patio was disgusting, one of that chairs was broken, and the view is literally a dumpster. Only 2 of the 4 burners on the stove worked. The fridge, stove and dishwasher were all manufactured in the 80's or earlier, and you're missing basic kitchen necessities. We had to clean every surface in the kitchen and living room when we arrived, there were fingernail clippings on the end-table by the recliner, and the dishes were gross and had to be cleaned by hand (because the dishwasher is useless) before being used. The windows in one bedroom both had broken knobs, so opening/closing was very difficult. One of the toilets also clogs repeatedly under normal usage by a single person. The only positive here was that VRC (property manager) did let us break the reservation and refunded us for half of the rental.

4/10 Poor

Kris K.

Unit 414 in Village Center

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was clean. I was very happy with the location. I was very dissatisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I do not recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: Family of three (dad plus 15 year old and 12 year old) rented this 4th floor unit for the Presidents’ Day week for a father-son week of skiing. This is our 3rd year in a row renting a ski-in-ski out from VRC at purgatory. Unfortunately unit 414 was the worst unit by a large margin of the three we have rented at purgatory. The other two experiences (both two bedroom units) were great. The pro’s for 414 are the location, which if you are renting any of the condos near the lifts is great. True ski-in-ski out. The 2/2 units are spacious and have two king sized beds and a fold out sleeper in the living room. The cons for unit 414 was that it was the most tired of any unit we’ve ever rented in purgatory and maybe rented anywhere ever. Most everything in the unit seemed like the absolute lest expensive thing someone could buy. The linens, dishes, cups, appliances (the clothes washer and dryer was good). The kitchen equipment and utensils were past due for replacement. The button of the toaster had to be held to make it toast. The knives were useless (I used a packet knife to cut things) the fridge had broken shelves and drawers. The cabinet doors and drawers were loose and falling off. The shelves were janky and mismatched. The glassware and plates were super tired and the dishwasher wasn’t good enough to make the clean dishes ever look clean. Some of the lights were hanging out of the ceiling, but the worst of it all were the beds. Both beds were like sleeping on box springs. I can’t remember in 20+ years having such uncomfortable bass in a hotel or short term rental. Also the WiFi was externally unreliable and when it did work the signal was weak. This isn’t on the condo owners as the resort manages the IT and based on our inquires, they were having issues. These issues are not the fault of VRC. In fact VRC was very responsive to any question or concerns and we will rent from VRC without a 2nd though
