Skiing Nirvana

Purgatory was great for skiing and this place was optimal for access and recovery after a long day at the slopes. My buddies and I were able to stay in each night and hang out like the old days. Property is big and spacious. Hot tub was awesome!

If you want a quiet, beautiful surroundings, great place to stay, then this is for you. Our family stayed for a week and had a wonderful time fishing and canoeing in the lake and then paddle boarding and swimming in lake 5 minutes away. The house has everything you need. Very fun vacation!

Christmas in Colorado

This home is beautiful. We stayed for about a week and we had everything we needed to feel at home. It is a 30 minute drive into town so I suggest stopping in town prior to getting to the home to get any food or necessities. The views from this home are breath taking.

Perfectly Peaceful

The perfect location for a peaceful and relaxing vacation. Right on the lake with good fishing. Plenty of relaxing spots on the property- lawn chairs with great views of the lake, hammock and 6 person hot tub on the deck. Spacious home with the added bonus of a ping pong and billiards table. Great spot to fish, relax and unwind with the family. Close to Durango, Purgatory resort and Lake Nighthorse for lots of family fun. We loved our stay.

Magnificent View

Place is in a beautiful spot to see the wonderful snow. Overlooking the mountains is spectacular. Lots of big bay windows to see everything. House was just the spot for our family. It is very close to the resort for skiing. There is a trailhead not for too. It is right in the middle between Durango and Silverton. I advise you if the roads permit to make a trip to Silverton and see the abundance of snow in the passes.

Great Winter Vacation

This house was beautiful and well stocked. Four wheel drive or chains was a requirement. We were able to get up the hill during the day after some snow melted with chains on. We had a great time sledding, skiing and relaxing in the hot tub!

Spring Break Retreat

Excellent property and location. Proximity to Purgatory resort was ideal. Owner clarity and communication upon final booking was outstanding. Property handbook was very thorough, thoughtful and left us with no question about any amenity down to the smallest detail (this was especially refreshing and welcomed.) 10/10. Definitely recommend Blackjack Lodge and McGregor is a wonderful host.

almost perfect!

Our granddaughter was married at the Black Diamond Ranch, so the location was perfect. The house is very livable but a little dated-altho the bidet toilet was amazing! It had an a good vibe and accommodated our family 10-ages 83-9-very comfortably. We didn't understand that our SUPs weren't allowed-interpreting the rules that anyone not staying in a house on the lake were not permitted use of the lake. Anyway, the man who patrols the lake was very informative and polite. We had some very "zen" time in the canoe.

Perfect property for 2 family mountain vacation!

This property had the most amazing view! Coffee on the deck in the morning over looking the mountains & lake was delightful. We stayed with our BFF’s family at this home. 5 teen boys who loved the downstairs to play pool & ping pong and big open upstairs to play games after long days outside mountain biking at Purgatory (5 min away), rafting in Durango and hiking also close by! This property had everything we needed! Extra bedding, towels, full kitchen and all the little extras like detergent, tin foil, etc….. the stuff you forget you’ll need when at the grocery store! The Nugget Bar across the highway looks like a dive, but it’s got great drinks & food truck food is great too! Pizza down the road at Old School house and country store for necessities. We loved the privacy of this home and would stay here again!

Needs some deep cleaning & updated description.

First off, the property has a stunning view and location. However, beds don't match description. We planned on two queen beds for our party, however, they were full size beds. Also, it is NOT an 11 min walk to Purgatory and you must have 4WD in winter, which is not mentioned in description.This home did not feel clean. One of the beds (upstairs full) did not smell like the blankets were clean. The floor of that room also had debris and had not been vacuumed. All pillows were mismatched, old and stained. Same w/bathroom rugs. There were very large cobwebs that no one cleaned up in the living room w/dead spider. There were little kid hand prints on the large window, kitchen cabinets dirty. The hot tub smelled like mildew, unsure if chemicals had been added prior to our stay, or if this is from the cover.Overall, we were very disappointed and uncomfortable with the cleanliness. We all also felt this home is in much need of updating and deep cleaning. Owner was receptive to notification of these issues.

A magical getaway ✨

We vacationed over the Christmas break with our extended family… grandparents, parents, and children. This house had the perfect setup for our family. The adults stayed in the upper bedrooms, and the kiddos had more than enough space and activities (pool table, ping pong table, tv) in the basement area to keep them occupied. The living area is spacious, as is the dining table, and easily accommodated our large group. We were all pleasantly surprised by the stocked kitchen, plenty of pots, pans, glasses, spices, paper goods, etc., and the heated flooring made it especially cozy on cold mornings. After a long day of skiing, the hot tub was a welcomed sanctuary to relax and soothe our tired bodies and was a big hit with the little people as well. The view is spectacular from the covered porch and also inside where there are plenty of large windows to soak it all in. The only somewhat problem we encountered, which was our own doing, was not having AWD on one of our three vehicles. The signs stating “AWD or chains needed” is not simply a suggestion. However, after adorning our tires with said chains, we were good to go. I can’t say enough about the beauty and tranquility of this space, and the owner was great as well. He provided an abundance of information about the property and was very responsive to inquiries. We were all sad to leave but vowed to return during the summer to enjoy it again and experience all it has to offer in a different season.

Pluses and Minuses

On the up side, the living room space is cozy and accommodates a large group. The lake view is pretty and the hummingbirds were fun to feed and watch. The hot tub is also nice and big. On the down side, the house is very dated, especially the kitchen and carpet, which we didn't want to walk on in bare feet or socks. The overall house cleanliness could use attention, as in a deep clean for dust and dirt. The basics, like the bedding and towels seemed clean, but we had to hunt around to find enough towels in the basement laundry room. There were a lot of bugs, including tiny gnats on the flat surfaces, like counters and tables and large ants roaming about. The rain might have brought in the big ants which I think are normally on trees, but not fun to see inside. There are also home maintenance issues with items broken or not working very well. I mentioned the things we didn't enjoy to the property manager after we left, but didn't hear back from him. I think this house is expensive for the shape its in and because it was not particularly clean, which I do expect when I rent, especially at this price point. Finally, if you have small kids, are older or not in good health/shape, the walk to and from the lake might be difficult. The back of the property drops off. There is a path with some make-shift barriers, but its extremely steep. This was a non-issue for our family, but could be for others.

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.

Great place for family

We loved how close the property was to everything we wanted to do. It was also big enough to have the whole family over for a BBQ (25 people).
