Mountain Lodge - Two Master Suites, new Hot Tub, Pets, only a mile to Ski Area
Welcome to Purgatory Point Lodge, a magnificent home in the mountains!
This home offers a rare and exceptional location for your mountain retreat with the most extraordinary views of Electra Lake, the Hermosa Cliffs and the entire Animas Valley. Feel at home in this beautiful 4 bedroom, 3 bath home situated on two beautiful wooded acres offering privacy and seclusion with the Little Cascade Creek running through the property. Relax in rustic elegance as the sounds of a rushing waterfall, rustling pine trees and humming birds fill the air. Explore the outdoors right from your back deck or hike north along the creek to Columbine Lake and south to Electra Lake. Fish from the banks of Cascade Creek or our beautiful Columbine Lake, both do not require permits and yes, they have fish!
Enjoy watching sunsets over the spectacular Hermosa Cliffs while relaxing in the private hot tub or while sipping cocktails listening to the waterfall from the back deck. If you are lucky, you may see an elk, deer, wild turkeys, quail, muskrats, beavers, raccoons, and other cute critters. There have been reported sightings of moose nearby, but not from the back deck as of yet.
Cozy up by the fire in the wood burning stove in the spacious main living area while watching the flat screen TV or stream movies over the internet WiFi. The kids will be content with their own TV and gaming center upstairs in the gameroom/bedroom. Our home may sleep as many as 10 people comfortably with the following bed configuration:
Master 1 (1st floor) – King Master 2 (2nd floor) – King Bedroom 3 (1st floor) - Bunk Bed (single over double) + Futon (double) Bedroom 4/Gameroom (2nd floor) - Queen pull-out sofa/bed Living Area (1st floor) – Queen pull-out sofa/bed
Purgatory Point Lodge offers privacy and seclusion nestled in the spectacular San Juan Mountains. Located 25 minutes north from Durango and only 2 miles from the ski resort, amenities abound. The Sows Ear Restaurant located less than 2 miles away, boasts 4 star dining and a lively bar. The Old Schoolhouse Cafe located 5 miles away, serves the best pizza and calzones this side of Italy…well that’s our opinion anyway! There is always something to do at the ski resort with summer and fall activities for the entire family. Our mountain home has all the comforts of home combined with breathtaking views. This will truly be your home away from home.
*****4-Wheel Drive/AWD REQUIRED in winter (Thanksgiving through mid-March)***** Our home is tucked away off a beautiful winding road which is regularly plowed in the winter.

About the host
Hosted by Micaela Newman
My family and four dogs currently reside in Houston, Texas. My husband grew up in Denver, Colorado and I am from El Paso, Texas. He enjoys rubbing in the fact that he grew up in the heart of the Colorado Rockies whereas I only got the “tail-end” of them. Nevertheless, we both share a common bond which is a deep love and appreciation for our majestic Rockies and are thankful for the wonderful year-round activities they offer. We purchased this home in 2009 with the intention of one day retiring from the rat race and living year round in Durango.
Why they chose this property
The town of Durango is the probably the most quaint and unpretentious resort town in Colorado. There is such a down-home style and innocence that sometimes I feel that the town is held in a 1950s time warp! The people are neighborly and life seems so simple and uncomplicated. We wanted our home to be close to Durango for its shopping, restaurants, medical facilities and of course charm; however, we also wanted to live in the heart of the San Juan Mountains. Never did we dream of finding a home which had such jaw-dropping views as this. This location offered us everything we dreamed of and much, much more.
What makes this property unique
We chose this home because of the proximity to the ski resort (2 miles), the beautiful wooded two acre lot which borders national forest, the dramatic views of the Hermosa Cliffs, Electra Lake and the entire Animas Valley. You will not hear traffic noise, only the sound of the Cascade Creek waterfall, the hummingbirds, the aspen trees and pine needles rustling in the wind. During the day the views from every window are spectacular. At night, you will feel as if you are in a planetarium with stars so bright. At any time of the day, any season of the year, the comfort and beauty of this home will make you want to stay forever....and come back year after year. We would love nothing more than you to consider our home as yours. Mi Casa es Su Casa!
