Lake Purgatory Hot Tub Pool Table Awesome Lake Views Pet Friendly Great Location

The city of Durango and Purgatory Mountain Resort in southwest Colorado is an area devoted to an active outdoor lifestyle. Nestled in the San Juan National Forest, this western town is where the high desert meets the high alpine.

Blackjack Lodge sits atop sloping cliffs overlooking Lake Purgatory, with sweeping views of the Hermosa Cliffs, Spud, Engineer and Needles Mountains from its large picture windows. Surrounded by groves of pine and aspen trees, it affords complete privacy, though conveniently located just one mile south of Durango Mountain Resort.

The large, open-plan family room has stunning views, a massive sandstone propane fireplace and state-of-the-art entertainment complete with Sony 51' Surround Sound TV, DVD/CD, VCR and Stereo. A second family room (the 'Bear Den') with 2-Twin Trundle Bed, TV, DVD, a regulation-size billiard table and also a ping-pong table is located in the basement, adjacent to the fourth bedroom which is outfitted with two sets of bunk beds and the location makes it an ideal room for the kids. All king and queen beds have modal or bamboo linens and goose down comforters to ensure a cozy and comfortable night's rest!

A wonderful bonus after a day of outdoor activities is the Hot Springs Spa 6 person hot tub on the covered deck. Luxuriate in its soothing warmth while taking in the stunning lake and mountain views and cool, clean mountain air. At night, the stars seem almost touchable.

Our home is that wonderful combination of rusticity and luxury. The bedrooms are comfortable and private, and the family areas are well appointed with fine leather couches. Ceiling fans in every room and radiant-heated floors make it comfortable throughout the year. Our location offers you a choice between the dozens of activities available in the area, or complete seclusion - whichever kind of vacation you seek.

Incredible views. The house is spacious and well suited to large groups. Nice to have the hot tub, pool table and ping pong table for entertainment without leaving the house. We were fortunate to have good weather but the road up to the house could definitely be a challenge in inclement weather(as is well pointed out in the property’s description)

Beautiful home. Very private and peaceful! We really enjoyed our stay and will be staying here again! Plenty of room, fully stocked. Owners thought of everything to make our stay enjoyable. Best part was sitting on the large back deck in the early morning hours, drinking hot tea and watching the humming birds.

Home with a view

Welcoming home with beautiful views of the lake, hot tub was great. Although there is access to the lake not all of our party could enjoy because it was a steep hike down. We all enjoyed the game room and there was plenty of space for everyone to spread out. Thank you for sharing your home.
