ABOUT PURGTOPIA
Purgtopia is a southwestern Colorado condo with gorgeous mountain views only a short walk to the lifts and all of the amenities Purgatory @ Durango Mountain Resort (DMMA) has to offer. As a guest at Purgtopia you gain access to the heated pool, hot tub, and fitness center of DMMA, see all rules/fees associated with this vacation rental below.


The Space
A moss rock fireplace greets you as you enter the light 'n bright mountain condo. The slate entry leads into the spacious living room adorned with furnishings reminiscent of the wild west that Durango is famous for. The sliding glass door opens to the large deck with magnificent views of the Needles Mountains, a textbook place for apres ski activities or the picture-perfect spot for enjoying your morning coffee/tea/yoga. 
The same views that are relished from the deck can be enjoyed from the living room while relaxing on the comfy leather couchAS. Meander through the living room to the fully outfitted kitchen with gas range/oven, microwave, dishwasher, and refrigerator. We work hard to try and provide all of the creature comforts of home so if you’re ever in need of anything we’re missing please let us know.
Behind the kitchen and dining area is the main-level bedroom with queen bed and ensuite bathroom. The bathroom has a single vanity and a full shower/bath combo. As you head upstairs you enter the second "loft" bedroom with a queen bed, laundry room, and attached bath. The large upstairs bathroom has a double vanity, walk-in shower, and views of the slopes.
Purgtopia is adorned with beautiful woodwork and sleeps 6 guests quite comfortably. It is very accommodating to 4 adults and 2 children but any mix 'n match that works for you works for us. For an overview of sleeping options: there is one private queen bed downstairs, one upstairs loft bedroom with queen bed (did we mention the views of the Columbine slope and Needles Mountains from this room!?), a leather love seat in front of the fire that folds out to a full-sized bed, a queen sized air mattress, and a pack n play for the lil 'uns. 
About the Area 
For winter guests no introduction is needed as Purgtopia has the best location on the mountain. With your stay you get access to the resort's pool, hot tub, and fitness center regardless of time of year. In spring/summer/fall the resort privileges also include use of the tennis courts across the highway by Twilight Lake, and the lake is great for paddle boarding, fishing, and kayaking!
There is world class hiking and fly fishing all over the region, with some of the best just a few minutes’ drive up the resort road to Hermosa Creek. Other fun activities in the area include horseback riding, rock climbing, and epic mountain biking. We are a short and scenic 30-minute drive south to Historic Durango, home of the Durango-Silverton Narrow Gauge Railroad. Thirty minutes the other direction (N) is one of our favorite towns in the world, the little mountain town of Silverton, CO (the terminus of the DSNGR and headwaters of The Animas River). Silverton is a must see for any mountain lover as its raw beauty and dramatic vistas are unrivalled.
Durango is where we reside and it is bustling with nightlife, shops, boutiques, and ostensibly has been said to have more restaurants per capita than San Francisco. Thanks in part to Ft. Lewis College, there is a very strong theatre, visual arts, and music scene in town. While visiting Durango you'd be remiss to not walk or ride along the Animas River Trail which runs from Oxbow River Park all the way to the south end of town, an awesome way to experience our little hamlet. Traversing the trail in its entirety takes less than an hour by bicycle.
Winding down? Take a scenic drive to explore the old mining towns of Ouray, Ridgway, and Telluride, a tour infamously known as the Alpine Loop via the Million Dollar Highway. The mountain drive is breathtaking and goes passed waterfalls and amazing mountain vistas affording endless opportunities for budding photographers and professionals alike! 
Your decisions to stay in our vacation home will make you feel like you have escaped to your own cowboy cabin in the mountains with all the amenities of home and more, an earthly paradise we've dubbed PURGTOPIA!
