Welcome
to the Silverpick Lodge, Condominiums and Townhomes at Durango
Mountain Resort. We offer prime mountain accommodations at 8776.66
feet above the level of the sea in the bazillion acre San Juan
National Forest, Colorado 's largest. We are located on the
San Juan Scenic Skyway twenty four miles north of Durango Colorado
and one mile south of the lifts at Purgatory Mountain. Surrounded
by mountains, cliffs and forest, this is what you're thinking
about when you think of Colorado.
Although
built in 1984, and remodeled last year, service and comfort
at the Lodge harken back to an earlier era of mountain hospitality.
With just thirteen rooms and sleeping a maximum of forty eight
people, the Lodge offers an intimate experience akin to that
of finer bed and breakfasts. Rooms are named after local mountain
peaks and each features an original color pencil drawing of
it's namesake by renown artist and Fabio look alike, Howie Basley.
Lodge rooms are appointed with furniture crafted by local artisans
and all beds come equipped with down comforters, feather beds
and down pillows. They are clean, cozy and comfortable.
The
Lodge offers many amenities. Coffee, juice, bagels and apples
make a hearty, healthy mountain breakfast. The Spa includes
two hot tubs, a steam room, a sauna, and a massage room. During
the winter we offer a free, on demand shuttle to the slopes
and free use of our sleds and snow shoes. During the summer
there's a swing set and picnic park. We've made three miles
of walking trails through the forest surrounding the Lodge and
hundreds more are available throughout the neighborhood. Finally
there's the game room, a library, chess by the fire and upstairs
the Sow's Ear offers the best steaks on the mountain.
We
rent several, one, two and three bedroom Condominiums and Townhomes
as well. These units are well appointed and fully furnished
apartments with full kitchens and wood burning fireplaces. They
are privately owned, decorated to the owner's taste and come
fully stocked with linens, glassware, pots, pans, china and
firewood.
Why
not rent the entire Lodge? It
is an ideal high altitude gathering place for family get-togethers,
destination weddings and groups of all kinds. |
