Your Mountain get away

Lakeview Villa sits next to a private lake with fishing ,skiing and hiking just minutes away. Great for family get aways or some peace and quiet in the tall trees.
If the weather outside is not the best relax by one of the 2 fireplaces or relax looking out over the lake. The kids will have fun with the full sized shuffle board table, videos, games and pool table. There is always lots to choose from at Lakeview villa.

This was the best vacation ever for our family! We absolutely loved this home! The view was amazing with huge windows, and several balconies! We made lasting memories! We had so much room to spread out. The 2 canoes and the game room, were a hit! The pool table as well! The instruction book was simple and clear. The host was exceptional, and so accommodating! We want to come back again!

Best family vacation yet!
This was by far the best family vacation we’ve had to date. The house is very large and well taken care of. We stayed with another family (4 adults and 5 children) and could have easily had room for another family. The view of the lake is spectacular and we spent every morning drinking coffee and every evening drinking cocktails on the second floor deck overlooking the lake. The kitchen is a dream and left me wanting to go home and remodel mine. The game room on the first floor was a great place for the kids to play and was a nice noise buffer. And you can’t bear the location. Durango, Purgatory, Silverton, and Ouray are all really close. We were able to experience all these areas and easily get back in time to relax with a lake mountain view. John was an amazing host and reached out as soon as we checked in to welcome us and provide additional information. You can tell he loves this home and takes great pride in making sure other families enjoy it as much as his family has. We love this place and can’t wait to come back!! Thank you John for providing a place where our family created life long memories.

Christmas in July
John was and is a very congenial guy—easy to contact and easy to work with. His home is beautiful (well stocked) and situated on a gorgeous hill overlooking a pretty lake. That said, the lake is not conducive to swimming or fishing because of a deep marsh that surrounds it. OH WELL… we had a great time all around the mountains and towns. GOOD LOCATION!!! There is fishing on all the nearby (famous) rivers, trains, old mining haunts, hiking, ski lift rides, pubs, spas, shops ….and then you can return back to “peace & quiet” at night in this comfortable home. Thanks John & Family! FYI—We never saw your caretaker (not really needed) but want to mention we found a leaking propane on the BBQ. We replaced and checked it out before we left! Also, the canoe oars are missing and your fire pit took a hard hit with the heavy snow you had. Hope this info helps you.

Great family vacation place.
Our family (six adults and four young kids) utilizes VRBO's frequently for family get togethers. Lakeview Villa was far and away the cleanest a best equipped place we have ever rented. Purgatory Trail across the road, U.S. 550, from the Purgatory Resort entrance is a great hike and there is a nice set of playground eq. on the north side of the small lake that cannot be seen from the trailhead parking lot. In absence of a hot tub we went to Durango Hot Springs (formerly Trimble Hot Springs) and had a great time. The Hot Springs has a family area as well as an adult area for just the grownups. We would highly recommend Lakeview Villa to everyone. Rob Flower Mound, Texas

Ski Trip
This property was amazing! We had a great time. The property requests you have a 4 wheel drive. We had rented a 4 wheel drive car but the people before us recked it. So we only had the option of a 2 wheel drive mini van. But we bought some tire chains as a back up. Needless to say the day we arrived there was a huge snow storm. Long story short… we got stuck on the hill and ran into a snow drift. 😅 The neighbors were super nice and helped us to the house. The next day the property manager Johnaton came to check on us. We told him our story and he was so nice to take to take time out of his day to take us to the mountain to get our ski rental for the next day. He gets ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ The drive way and the neighborhood was plowed the next morning so we could drive our car with the chains. Moral of the story….. 4 wheel drive is really needed in the winter. But it all worked out. The house WIFI didn’t work very well so the TV’s didn’t have a signal. Our families we forced to actually sit and just talk to each other every night. It was nice. The view out the back door was breathtaking. The kitchen was beautiful with a huge table. We made dinner every night and sat at the table with dinner with our families and talked and laughed about our day at the Purgatory Ski Resort. (Which is 5 mins away) The only con I would have is the master bedroom was so hot. But I am from Texas and we are used to AC and ceiling fans. We survived. I would love to see this property in the summer.

An amazing retreat
It was the perfect place for our large family vacation. We had 7 adult and 7 kids, and never felt cramped. There was always plenty of hot water and it was honestly more spacious than we expected. We joked that we could get lost in the house. It was well stocked with lovely finishes throughout. The kids loved the hot tub. I enjoyed yoga on the deck each morning with a much more beautiful view than flat Texas. The location is about a 25 minute drive out of town, but easy and doable (at least in summer). You are literally 3 minutes from Purgatory Ski resort as well and only about 30 minutes from Silverton. In my opinion, it is worth being a bit of a drive out of town to be in the quiet and beauty of the location of the house in the mountains and on the lake. The owner and manager were responsive. The wifi isn't great but it does work, but honestly, we weren't there for the internet, quite the opposite. Don't hesitate to book this place!

Great house with many amenities and well stocked.
We did have to wash bedding before sleeping in beds - dog hair, stains. The tub in king room on main floor is lightweight and not secured - very dangerous and no warning. The washing machines and ovens were very dirty. It was in the 90’s the whole week we were there. No AC and no blinds so house heated up.

Beautiful property.
The property was beautiful and unique in layout. The biggest drawback was lack of lighting in bedrooms and baths, as well as lack of shelving on which to put anything. Shower heads were a problem in two of the 5 baths. There is still a problem with fishing and canoeing on the adjacent lake. The property owner, again, did not pay for a permit to fish. This was disappointing to the kids and guys who looked forward to doing so. I recommend removing "fishing poles/gear" from the advertisement. I would also add to the advertisement that the building does not meet ADA requirements. There were 3 floors with steps that did not have handrails. The shower also did not have handrails. The cooks enjoyed the kitchen and having a very large refrigerator. Also having the televisions away from the dining/kitchen/lounging area was nice as it encouraged conversations, etc. (enjoyed not having to listen to sports, etc.) Parking was very good and the property easy to access. But the directions to get in with keypad access were incomplete and we never could do this. The property manager left the door unlocked so that we could get in. He also later showed us an alternate method of getting in. There were several other issues that he attempted to resolve while we were in residence. As noted in a previous review, the property manager came into the building without giving us notice and this was disconcerting. Overall, the stay was nice and enjoyed by the 5 families that were there.

Great property. Good for two families. Some of the sleeping arrangements are pull out beds so not super comfy, but good for kiddos. Other beds were comfortable. Nice fireplace with wood supplied. Great kitchen. Fully stocked. Wifi is not great, if you need it for work or school, it might be sufficient. Kids had fun sledding out front. Close to the slopes, great location if you have 4x4 vehicle. Lowest level floor/game room is chilly, but owner sent some heaters over for us. They were responsive to a few small issues. We had a very nice time.

We had a wonderful stay at the Lakeview Villa. We would love to come back in the summer to fully appreciate the lake! It snowed the whole weekend we were there and our boys loved that! The views were beautiful and the house was very spacious and comfortable. I especially loved that the kitchen was actually stocked with every tool I could possibly need. Owner and property manager were both great in communication. Location was great as we were doing several activities in and around Purgatory Resort. We really enjoyed our stay.

Everyone in our group had a fantastic time! The house was much larger in person than what the property photos conveyed. It fit our large group of adults and kids comfortably, everyone had a lot of space to spread out. The kids really enjoyed the game room, upstairs loft and heated floors. The kitchen was a hit, we cooked almost every meal during our stay. It was very well stocked with all of the kitchen necessities and then some! We felt right at home. The ski resort was super close which made it very easy to get to the slopes. The only minor issue we ran into during our stay was that one of our vehicles had trouble getting up the driveway on the last day, we had to contact John to pull us out. He was very responsive though and came over immediately to assist us. I would recommend when staying here during the winter you bring a set of chains for your vehicles.

Durango get-away
This home was beautiful! 3 floors that were all very uniquely decorated and felt very homey, not like a hotel. When the owner says 'fully stocked' he wasn't kidding! We had 7 adults and 5 kiddos and never ran out of dishes, even eating 3 meals a day there! The game room, hot tub and lake equipment was thoroughly used and enjoyed by all! The door locks are a bit tricky but we all enjoyed the deck areas as much as the surrounding trails. The drive to Durango and the train station were just the right distance. It was quiet, peaceful and fun for all! Thank you for this great place to get my family all together!!

The listing photos don’t do it justice
The views from this house are just spectacular — the listing photos were obviously enough for us to book, but they would get so much more traffic if they took a new batch of professional photos! We hope to return for holidays! PROs: Location - so easy to get to purg, the nugget, and strolls in the neighborhood are great! Stocked Kitchen w/ every tool and most condiment (spices, flour) you can think of, but we would’ve loved more cocktail tools like a shaker, martini glasses, more wine glasses (there were 6). The PANTRY was wonderful... that’s essentially the 2nd kitchen with blue cabinets! Dinner on patio off the kitchen/main level amazing, but 2 holes in the deck (covered with wood) were a little scary. Ample parking + gigantic garage. All beds we used were comfy, incl the pullout sofa on bottom level. Lots of Cleaning supplies available.. disinfecting spray, dish soap, hand soap, dishwasher pods, laundry detergent, etc. Tons of dish towels (though only 2 bath towels per bathroom, no extra sheets). Couple of CONs but I would absolutely stay here again! - There are 2 dead aspen trees by the garage; we were worried, as they will eventually fall on a car. - There are at least 5 lock boxes out front, all with different codes. I wish we had clarified ahead of time WHICH box we had a code for. I also wish the property mgr had communicated that he had unlocked the house for us. - Only 1 king bed (in master) and no closet or dresser in the master. - We had a lot of very slow/near-death flies (we killed at least 40) in the kitchen corner by big window. Could just be from house not being in use right before us. They showed no interest in our food so I wasn’t too bothered. - WiFi ranged from mediocre to bad. - Hot tub with views from the lower deck was fabulous but next time we want the chlorine tabs added before checkin. - Like a previous reviewer mentioned, we were booted off from fishing in the lake — Tim the lake manager is controlling the narrative on your feud. Please just pay the $150 annual fishing fee. - Some general wear and tear on the house. Couple of items need repair: 1 Dining table pendant light is burned out 1 Dishwasher is not heating/cleaning (the one by the kitchen sink) — don’t worry bc there’s a second dishwasher! 1 Oven (the right side) was constantly re-lighting and had temp settings in Celsius — don’t worry bc there’s a second oven! 2 Screens in the Bear Room, and the right window won’t crank.
