Largest Black Bear Townhome - Ping Pong Table - on Demand Ski Shuttle

Our Black Bear townhome (Unit 86) is located directly across from Purgatory Ski Area and is a perfect base camp for your vacation no matter the season. The townhome features 3 bedrooms & 3 full baths & is the largest unit in the Black Bear complex. The gourmet kitchen with stainless-steel appliances includes a coffee bar as well as breakfast bar with seating and opens to the main living space and dining area. The townhome also features a gas grill, washer/dryer (laundry detergent provided) and a 2 car garage which contains a ping pong table. The master bedroom features a gas fireplace, deck with a gas firepit. The Master bath includes double sinks, a shower and a jacuzzi tub. Enjoy views of the ski slopes across Highway 550 from either deck.

The townhome is part of the resort so you have access to free on-demand shuttle service to Purgatory Ski Resort in winter but since it is across the highway you have the privacy and additional space a townhome affords. At 8,900 feet of elevation, the home is a gateway to an amazing winter playground and also serves as the perfect summer retreat, with a million acres of national forest land at your doorstep offering all your favorite mountain activities. It’s only a 2 minute walk to Twilight Lake for fishing and paddle boarding and as well as Purgatory Flats Trailhead, one of the most scenic hikes in the San Juan Mountains. Horseback riding, jeep trails, an alpine slide, epic mountain biking and the Purgatory Inferno Mountain Coaster are all less than 5 minutes from the home.

Bed Configuration:
Master Bedroom-King with Ensuite Bath and TV (2nd Floor)
2nd Bedroom-Queen and Bunk Bed (Single over Single) (2nd Floor)
3rd Bedroom-King (2nd Floor)

This home is pet friendly! We allow a maximum of 2 dogs max and the pet fee is $40/day (for a max $250 per stay).

The 4% resort fee included in the quote is the required resort fee that must be charged & does not allow access to the Durango Mountain Club. For an additional (and optional) 4% resort fee, you will have access to the Durango Mountain Club which includes an outdoor heated pool with slide, outdoor hot tub & workout facility. When booking, just advise if you would like us to add the additional 4% resort fee.

Book at least a week and a 10% discount is automatically applied (Excludes Christmas/New Years).

Stay with us and we offer DISCOUNTS on both summer (white water rafting, horseback riding etc.) and winter (ski/snowboard rentals, sleigh rides, snowmobile tours etc.) activities.

Please note that, like most properties in the area, this home does not have AC, as it is uncommon for homes at this elevation. Temperatures inside the property are easily managed by using fans and opening the windows at night when temperatures drop into the 40s.

What a great location, the on demand shuttle was so fast and easy at getting us to the lifts, basically ski in/ski out! House was wonderful with everything we needed. The heated garage with a ping pong table was an added bonus and fun! Host was very responsive with any issues we had. Would definitely stay again in the future!

Great Property Close to all the Action

We were looking for a place to hike and explore in southwest Colorado and knew we wanted to go to Silverton and Ouray. We had our dog with us for the hikes so this pet friendly location was perfect for us. We even found great hikes right outside the front door on the Purgatory Creek Trail and at the Purgatory resort. This was a perfect location for us to get to our hiking destinations within 30 minutes to an hour.

Five-star stay at BlackBear!

Our family of four stayed in this awesome unit for a recent ski trip to Purgatory. The unit is beautifully decorated and furnished with everything we could possibly have needed. The proximity to the ski resort, including on-demand shuttle access, enabled us to come and go as needed without having to drive in or worry about parking. We had lots of great snow during our stay, and our driveway was plowed every day. They really have thought of everything!

It was in the perfect location to quickly access the mountain (we could see the Columbine lift across the street from the window) and the on demand shuttle service was great if we didn’t want to walk across the road. The home itself was clean, comfortable, and roomy enough for our group. I would absolutely stay again.

Dishes were dirty and the patio area reeked of gas. I think the grill was leaking gas... it’s also right on 550 so the traffic is loud with the window open. The location is amazing though and it was overall a good trip.

Great home away from home

We were very happy with the location and the home in general. It was well maintained, had a great floorplan with plenty of storage space, and had a well stocked kitchen which is rare for the rentals I have been in before. It also had plenty of seating in the main room for our group which was really nice. I was a little disappointed that they listed a shuttle as part of the rental which was not the case when we arrived. It ended up not being too much of an issue which is why I kept my rating high. We actually visited Durango this summer and were looking to purchase a place there and I loved the area.

As such it is a bit far from town but not a problem for us since we wanted to be close to the forest. Great rooms, baths, furniture and a ping pong table. Would definitely stay here again.Only very minor downside was the refrigerator did not have a working filter to get water from BUT they did have a pitcher with filter to use.

Rating Details: The property manager was more than helpful. The vacation rental was clean. I was very happy with the location. I was more than satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I do not recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: Upon walking into the unit I was greeted by a an empty beer can in the nicho and a garbage bag filled with consumables on the floor. My wife and I felt that the cleaning crew perhaps came in and left rather abruptly. The location was great for summer fun, nice access to hiking etc. Was a bit disappointed with the grill. The patio grill was rather filthy and prevented us from grilling. Overall the space was spaciously and well appointed. We have stayed in Telluride Mountain Village before and found some of the appointments comparable. For the price we paid for cleaning($170) and such we were rather disappointed.

Ideal vacation for skiing, especially since it was perfect weather!

While the rest of the country was in a deep freeze, we were in perfect weather, sunny, low 40's, no wind! A couple of nitpicks, though (and this may be directed towards previous renters who don't care to get them fixed as well as the owners). There were several problems, none of which were showstoppers (fireplace pilot light was out, downstairs TV wasn't working correctly, some utensils were dirty, etc.). I know it would be difficult for the cleaners to know about the TV, but dirty spatulas, spoons, etc., should be checked by them. The information on VRBO was accurate regarding access to the ski area. The shuttle was very quick since they weren't that busy. However, what the information doesn't show is that there is a maximum per day for using the shuttle. Also, walking across the highway was an option, especially for the snowboarders in there near-normal boots compared to skiers in their torture boots. Overall, we would definitely stay there again!
