Perfect mountain home

Our family greatly enjoyed our stay in this home. It was beautiful, clean, and well-located. Kitchen was very well stocked and had everything we needed, and more! You absolutely must have 4-wheel drive and snow chains to access during the winter- we saw some stuck in the snow. We definitely hope to come back again!

Great place

House was amazing. Beds were comfortable, rooms were nice and the kitchen was great. Only thing I didn’t like is there wasn’t a TV in the main living area, but other than that, no complaints at all.

Boles Family Vacation - Carlsbad, NM

This was the best vacation ever for our family! We absolutely loved this home! The view was amazing with huge windows, and several balconies! We made lasting memories! We had so much room to spread out. The 2 canoes and the game room, were a hit! The pool table as well! The instruction book was simple and clear. The host was exceptional, and so accommodating! We want to come back again!

Amazing house. Super location

Loved the house! Has everything you could want. Like other reviewers said you will have to have AWD car. Did have a couple of issues with the heat. Master bed stayed 75 even with the heat off. Carbon dioxide detectors went off if you try to cook.

Durango get-away

This home was beautiful! 3 floors that were all very uniquely decorated and felt very homey, not like a hotel. When the owner says 'fully stocked' he wasn't kidding! We had 7 adults and 5 kiddos and never ran out of dishes, even eating 3 meals a day there! The game room, hot tub and lake equipment was thoroughly used and enjoyed by all! The door locks are a bit tricky but we all enjoyed the deck areas as much as the surrounding trails. The drive to Durango and the train station were just the right distance. It was quiet, peaceful and fun for all! Thank you for this great place to get my family all together!!

Overall an outstanding adventure was had by all. From "Pops", age 69, to "Addie", age 18 months,

The Lakeside Villa is an amazing place! Lots of room to spread out with four large bedrooms, each with its own bathroom. The location above the lake is spectacular, allowing for great views of the local San Juan mountains and the deer that roamed the shore lines. We enjoyed the canoes and made many floating trips up and down Lake Purgatory. The kitchen had every available cooking tool known to mankind, including a wood burning pizza oven. The ambiance eating dinner on the outside deck was second to none. The owner, John English, had an easy time while we were there, with only one decision to make and that being no outside fires, although the fire pit area looks inviting. In the end, it was sad to leave such a beautiful, well taken care of facility. We spent eight days in paradise! Thank you John for letting us enjoy your home! Jim, Nancy and family. USAF Retired

Christmas in July

John was and is a very congenial guy—easy to contact and easy to work with. His home is beautiful (well stocked) and situated on a gorgeous hill overlooking a pretty lake. That said, the lake is not conducive to swimming or fishing because of a deep marsh that surrounds it. OH WELL… we had a great time all around the mountains and towns. GOOD LOCATION!!! There is fishing on all the nearby (famous) rivers, trains, old mining haunts, hiking, ski lift rides, pubs, spas, shops ….and then you can return back to “peace & quiet” at night in this comfortable home. Thanks John & Family! FYI—We never saw your caretaker (not really needed) but want to mention we found a leaking propane on the BBQ. We replaced and checked it out before we left! Also, the canoe oars are missing and your fire pit took a hard hit with the heavy snow you had. Hope this info helps you.

Best family vacation yet!

This was by far the best family vacation we’ve had to date. The house is very large and well taken care of. We stayed with another family (4 adults and 5 children) and could have easily had room for another family. The view of the lake is spectacular and we spent every morning drinking coffee and every evening drinking cocktails on the second floor deck overlooking the lake. The kitchen is a dream and left me wanting to go home and remodel mine. The game room on the first floor was a great place for the kids to play and was a nice noise buffer. And you can’t bear the location. Durango, Purgatory, Silverton, and Ouray are all really close. We were able to experience all these areas and easily get back in time to relax with a lake mountain view. John was an amazing host and reached out as soon as we checked in to welcome us and provide additional information. You can tell he loves this home and takes great pride in making sure other families enjoy it as much as his family has. We love this place and can’t wait to come back!! Thank you John for providing a place where our family created life long memories.

Great family vacation place.

Our family (six adults and four young kids) utilizes VRBO's frequently for family get togethers. Lakeview Villa was far and away the cleanest a best equipped place we have ever rented. Purgatory Trail across the road, U.S. 550, from the Purgatory Resort entrance is a great hike and there is a nice set of playground eq. on the north side of the small lake that cannot be seen from the trailhead parking lot. In absence of a hot tub we went to Durango Hot Springs (formerly Trimble Hot Springs) and had a great time. The Hot Springs has a family area as well as an adult area for just the grownups. We would highly recommend Lakeview Villa to everyone. Rob Flower Mound, Texas

Ski Trip

This property was amazing! We had a great time. The property requests you have a 4 wheel drive. We had rented a 4 wheel drive car but the people before us recked it. So we only had the option of a 2 wheel drive mini van. But we bought some tire chains as a back up. Needless to say the day we arrived there was a huge snow storm. Long story short… we got stuck on the hill and ran into a snow drift. 😅 The neighbors were super nice and helped us to the house. The next day the property manager Johnaton came to check on us. We told him our story and he was so nice to take to take time out of his day to take us to the mountain to get our ski rental for the next day. He gets ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ The drive way and the neighborhood was plowed the next morning so we could drive our car with the chains. Moral of the story….. 4 wheel drive is really needed in the winter. But it all worked out. The house WIFI didn’t work very well so the TV’s didn’t have a signal. Our families we forced to actually sit and just talk to each other every night. It was nice. The view out the back door was breathtaking. The kitchen was beautiful with a huge table. We made dinner every night and sat at the table with dinner with our families and talked and laughed about our day at the Purgatory Ski Resort. (Which is 5 mins away) The only con I would have is the master bedroom was so hot. But I am from Texas and we are used to AC and ceiling fans. We survived. I would love to see this property in the summer.

An amazing retreat

It was the perfect place for our large family vacation. We had 7 adult and 7 kids, and never felt cramped. There was always plenty of hot water and it was honestly more spacious than we expected. We joked that we could get lost in the house. It was well stocked with lovely finishes throughout. The kids loved the hot tub. I enjoyed yoga on the deck each morning with a much more beautiful view than flat Texas. The location is about a 25 minute drive out of town, but easy and doable (at least in summer). You are literally 3 minutes from Purgatory Ski resort as well and only about 30 minutes from Silverton. In my opinion, it is worth being a bit of a drive out of town to be in the quiet and beauty of the location of the house in the mountains and on the lake. The owner and manager were responsive. The wifi isn't great but it does work, but honestly, we weren't there for the internet, quite the opposite. Don't hesitate to book this place!

Great house with many amenities and well stocked.

We did have to wash bedding before sleeping in beds - dog hair, stains. The tub in king room on main floor is lightweight and not secured - very dangerous and no warning. The washing machines and ovens were very dirty. It was in the 90’s the whole week we were there. No AC and no blinds so house heated up.

Beautiful property.

The property was beautiful and unique in layout. The biggest drawback was lack of lighting in bedrooms and baths, as well as lack of shelving on which to put anything. Shower heads were a problem in two of the 5 baths. There is still a problem with fishing and canoeing on the adjacent lake. The property owner, again, did not pay for a permit to fish. This was disappointing to the kids and guys who looked forward to doing so. I recommend removing "fishing poles/gear" from the advertisement. I would also add to the advertisement that the building does not meet ADA requirements. There were 3 floors with steps that did not have handrails. The shower also did not have handrails. The cooks enjoyed the kitchen and having a very large refrigerator. Also having the televisions away from the dining/kitchen/lounging area was nice as it encouraged conversations, etc. (enjoyed not having to listen to sports, etc.) Parking was very good and the property easy to access. But the directions to get in with keypad access were incomplete and we never could do this. The property manager left the door unlocked so that we could get in. He also later showed us an alternate method of getting in. There were several other issues that he attempted to resolve while we were in residence. As noted in a previous review, the property manager came into the building without giving us notice and this was disconcerting. Overall, the stay was nice and enjoyed by the 5 families that were there.

Great stay.

Great property. Good for two families. Some of the sleeping arrangements are pull out beds so not super comfy, but good for kiddos. Other beds were comfortable. Nice fireplace with wood supplied. Great kitchen. Fully stocked. Wifi is not great, if you need it for work or school, it might be sufficient. Kids had fun sledding out front. Close to the slopes, great location if you have 4x4 vehicle. Lowest level floor/game room is chilly, but owner sent some heaters over for us. They were responsive to a few small issues. We had a very nice time.

Beautiful Home and Location

We had a wonderful stay at the Lakeview Villa. We would love to come back in the summer to fully appreciate the lake! It snowed the whole weekend we were there and our boys loved that! The views were beautiful and the house was very spacious and comfortable. I especially loved that the kitchen was actually stocked with every tool I could possibly need. Owner and property manager were both great in communication. Location was great as we were doing several activities in and around Purgatory Resort. We really enjoyed our stay.
