Private Home Lake Purgatory-Awesome Views-NEW RATES-Last Minute Specials

The city of Durango and Durango Mountain Resort (Purgatory) in southwest Colorado is an area devoted to an active outdoor lifestyle. Nestled in the San Juan National Forest, this western town is where the high desert meets the high alpine.

Blackjack Lodge sits atop sloping cliffs overlooking Lake Purgatory, with sweeping views of the Hermosa Cliffs, Spud, Engineer and Needles Mountains from its large picture windows. Surrounded by groves of pine and aspen trees, it affords complete privacy, though conveniently located just one mile south of Durango Mountain Resort.

The large, open-plan family room has stunning views, a massive wood burning, sandstone fireplace and state-of-the-art entertainment complete with Sony 51' Surround Sound TV, DVD/CD, VCR and Stereo. A second family room (or the 'Bear Den') with 2-Twin Trundle Bed, TV, DVD, a regulation-size billiard table and also a ping-pong table is located in the basement, adjacent to the fourth bedroom which is outfitted with two sets of bunk beds and the location makes it an ideal room for the kids. All king and queen beds have Modal linens and goose down comforters to ensure a cozy and comfortable night's rest!

A wonderful bonus after a day of outdoor activities is the Hot Springs Spa 6 person hot tub on the covered deck. Luxuriate in its soothing warmth while taking in the stunning lake and mountain views and cool, clean mountain air. At night, the stars seem almost touchable.

Our home is that wonderful combination of rusticity and luxury. The bedrooms are comfortable and private and the family areas are well appointed with fine leather couches. Ceiling fans in every room and radiant-heated floors make it comfortable throughout the year. Our location offers you a choice between the dozens of activities available in the area, or complete seclusion - whichever kind of vacation you seek.

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.

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!

Healing Journey
This home is just what my husband and I needed. We have just lost our son and didn’t have a plan but knew we needed to find somewhere to begin healing. The owner was extremely supportive and accommodating. House is perfect for families and friends. Would highly recommend.

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.

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.
