About this property

Secluded Cabin on 132 Acres, 2 Miles to Purgatory Ski Area, Dogs Welcome

Our 1200 Sq ft, 3 bedroom, 3 bath, custom home was completely remodeled in 2013 and offers the most privacy and seclusion of any property near Purgatory as it sits on 132 acres, yet is less then 2 miles from the ski resort and 25 miles from downtown Durango. VRBO Listing 716605 is also on the property (1/4 mile away) and features 2 bedrooms, 2 baths, and sleeps 6, if your group is bigger than our 3 bedroom alone can accommodate.

The kitchen is outfitted with stainless steel appliances and granite countertops. The main living space features a 46 inch flat screen TV and wood burning fireplace (wood provided).

The master bedroom has a king size bed, the other two bedrooms both have queen beds.

The property borders the Weminuche national Forest on the North and East, which is the largest and most unused wilderness area in the continental U.S. Their are numerous lakes and ponds on the property, and a road to higher elevations where the views of the surrounding mountains and lakes are spectacular. It is common to see bear, deer, elk, big horn sheep, snow shoe hares, ducks, geese, turkey, coyote, marmot, and the occasional mountain lion or moose. All of the pictures in the listing were taken from the property.

A 4WD/AWD with good tires is required December through March. If you plan to drive a vehicle not so equipped, please book elsewhere. Although the roads are extremely well maintained, we want to ensure our neighbors are not adversely impacted by our guests who may not regularly drive on snow packed roads.

Lastly, we love dogs, and they are totally welcome as long as they are well behaved and get along with people and other dogs. Lucy runs free on the property.

Perfect Spring Break
Less than 10 minutes to Purgatory Ski Resort, but away from the crowds in a winter wonderland! Gorgeous property with beautiful views. The cabin was perfect for our family of 3 adults and 3 teens. Every room has its own spacious bathroom (the rooms felt bigger than they look in the pictures!) Sean was very quick to answer any questions we had. Highly recommend and would love to come back in the summer!

New Years at the cabin
My family of 6 stayed at the cabin over the New Year week & had a wonderful time. The cabin is just as described with lots of pantry space & all the kitchen items needed to cook meals. The beds were comfortable. The en-suite baths for each bedroom was a major plus as was having a main floor bedroom. Sean was extremely helpful when we ran into a major car mechanical issue & his help was very much appreciated. 4wd or chains really are a must during the snowy months. The personal sled hill was a big hit with the kiddos (& the pup!) We’d gladly stay again.

Christmas at the Cabin
We decided to spend Christmas snowboarding at Purgatory and Seans cabin was the perfect place to stay. There were 5 of us and our Corgi staying in this beautiful cabin on Seans amazing property. The Cabin was clean, comfortable, warm, and accommodating. We loved the fireplace, the big windows displaying the gorgeous views, each room has its own full bathroom and the living area and kitchen was a perfect gathering spot. Sean gave us great directions to get to the location and kept us informed on the weather. We were close to Purgatory but the cabin was nice and secluded. We had the best Christmas and would do it again and again. Sean is a great host and made our stay easy and comfortable.

About the host

Hosted by Sean McCormack

Host profile image
Sean grew up in the area, skiing every weekend at Purgatory, and graduating from Durango High School before leaving to experience life outside this rural community. After 25 years, he and Leslie decided to move back to the mountains of Southwest Colorado to be close to family and all of the outdoor activities they enjoy.

Why they chose this property

This area is the Saudi Arabia of solar energy, with plenty of water and lots of trees. It is easy to build a comfortable and highly sustainable life here. All of the houses, barns, and greenhouses were built using wood harvested from the property. The 27' x 110' greenhouse provides fruits and vegetables not only for Sean and Leslie, but for a number of other families in the area. Standing dead trees are harvested and provide a backup heat source for all the homes and buildings on the property, with an additional 120 cords of wood harvested for sale, providing a carbon neutral source of heat. The trees are harvested primarily to improve the health of the forest.

What makes this property unique

There is nothing better than cozying up to a real wood fire after a full day of skiing, watching the snow fall during the winter, or lounging on the covered deck and watching the sun disappear over the mountains during the summer. The kids will have a great time exploring the forest, fishing in the nearby creeks or lake, biking, horseback riding or the many other activities close by.
