Cabin on Columbine Lake - Large deck - Hot Tub/Views - 1 mile to Purgatory

Our cabin features 2 bedrooms and 3 bathrooms sits on 1.2 acres and is located above Columbine Lake with a private hot tub and an awesome wrap around deck to enjoy the views.

Just 1 mile from Purgatory Ski Resort and 25 miles from historic downtown Durango, the cabin offers privacy and seclusion and awesome wrap around decks off both levels of the cabin with views of Engineer Mountain, Spud Mountain and of course Columbine Lake. The lower deck features a private hot tub and seating while the upper deck has an outdoor dining table (seating for 6) and a gas BBQ Grill.

The cabin features a second living space downstairs (with a TV), WIFI, washer/dryer, 2 car garage, and a recently remodeled, fully stocked kitchen. In summer and fall, there is a trail down to Columbine Lake (while beautiful, the lake is not stocked, so there is not fishing in the lake).

We had a great stay! It was the perfect home base to explore locally and drive to national parks in both Utah and Colorado. The house was clean and the views were beautiful. Very comfortable linens. Hot tub was perfect. Thanks for a great stay!

The house was perfect for what we needed, beds were comfy and the kitchen was well stocked. We were able to have a small family dinner (discussed with extremely responsive hosts first of course!) on the large porch with spectacular views of the lake and mountains beyond, including the one we hiked for our private elopement that weekend. The home was clean, and the lower level space was a great bonus area for my niece and nephew to safely play while we cooked.

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was very happy with the location. I was more than satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: The view from the deck is great. We used the grill a couple times and generally just relaxed out there. Very quiet and away from the hustle and bustle of purgatory while being right nearby.

Well appointed kitchen, great view of the lake. Perfect for family time with teens.

The cabin is great, super warm and really spacious. We loved how close it was to the ski resort. The Kitchen had all the essentials and the complementary toiletries were great. You will definitely need an AWD vehicle for winter but we were able to get in and out pretty easily. Overall a great stay! We would love to go back next year.

My fiancé and I stayed with our 2 dogs at the end of October and it was the perfect fall getaway. The house had everything we needed and the views were amazing. We enjoyed the easy access to trails nearby and my fiancé enjoyed fishing on the lake. It was a very easy check in and out process and the house was very clean. We loved getting to take our dogs and were so glad they were pet friendly! Could not recommend the property enough as well as Vacation Rental Collective. Will definitely be booking with them again!

Maintenance issues. Didn’t realize we would be a 30-minute drive from Durango or that Purgatory would be closed most of the time. Lake access was impossible—thought we would be able to walk down a fish or kayak. Nope. Still,beautiful setting and escape fro Texas heat.

Everything was perfect and in great condition. The new kitchen appliances were fantastic. The hot tub and double deck were superb. And those views!! Engineer Mountain and Columbine Lake really set the mood for relaxation and serenity. Excellent location in proximity to Silverton/Ouray/Durango as well. Hiked Ice Lakes Trail during my stay, which was about a 45-minute drive up the Million Dollar Highway. Only enhanced this incredible stay! Highly recommend and might even have to return in the future! Thank you so much for an unforgettable memory!!

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was very happy with the location. I was very satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: We enjoyed a few days of skiing here on the week before Christmas. The location is so convenient to Purgatory. Driving to and from the house on snow-packed roads was easy in an AWD vehicle. Getting to use the garage at the house made arrival and departure very comfortable. The updated kitchen is very nice. View of the lake is beautiful. Our only complaints are that the location of the TV was inconvenient for group viewing since it was in the downstairs room that we used as a bedroom and it was hard to start a fire in the downstairs wood heater because the cold heater was not drafting smoke up the flue. The baseboard heaters were more than sufficient for heating, so we gave up on the wood heater rather quickly. We would definitely return and recommend this house.

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was very clean. I was very happy with the location. I was somewhat dissatisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I do not recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: Overall, our stay was fine. We did have some issues with the cabin. First, I would love to see the mattresses replaced for both bedrooms. In my opinion, they both need to be replaced with firmer mattresses. Second there is a broken window blind, and one of the bedrooms that needs to be fixed. Third I would love to see you put a TV in the main living area. TV downstairs really doesn’t work. Next, I’d love to see some upgrades to the furniture. Old and tired might be my best description and last I would love to see you upgrade the Utensils in the kitchen. Everything seem to be directly from a garage sale. None of this is a dealbreaker. Overall everything was acceptable. The location was fantastic. The fact that there was a garage where we could put our bicycles in the evening was great. Access to the cabin was super easy. The cabin could use some upgrades. It’s a little bit old and tired.

Absolutely loved our stay here. We used this as our home base to visit Durango, Ouray, and Silverton. The property views are stunning and the amenities are perfect. The owners allowed us to bring our dogs, which we are so grateful for because we love to travel with them and spend our days outside exploring and hiking. This was our anniversary trip and we fell in love with the area, so we will definitely be back!
