Very clean. Great location. No windows in the bedroom didn’t work for us. And no fans. The great things: super clean and plenty of provisions for our stay. Loved the open living dining room and balcony

Perfect For Our Hiking Trip
This vacation rental was clean, attractive, and peaceful. It was perfectly situated for access to hiking hiking trails in the San Juan and Weminuche National Forests, and also to the Durango Silverton Railroad. It was also a perfect setup for us to cook most of our own meals, which we prefer for convenience on hiking trips, but we did treat ourselves to one very enjoyable lunch at the Mineshaft Bar and Grill, on the resort premises, and we highly recommend it!

Ski trip
The condo is fine, just some missing items in the kitchen like a pan. You have to drive to the pool/spa due to distance and make reservations 2 days ahead, otherwise no luck. Purgatory shuttle also, but only 1 day ahead. Some staff at the fitness are very nice, others outright nasty, we even had a conflict with a pool nazi who tried to kick us out before our time was over so she can go home early.

Full week stay
Great location. But, unit was old, needed updating. Felt dirty. Kitchen lacked basic equipment, like bowls knives, cutting board, colander, cheese shredder, etc. Mived after 7 days to modernized unit with full kitchen amenities a felt cleaner
