About this property

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.

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.

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!

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.
