We had an absolutely wonderful time at this property. The home was spotless, comfortable, and beautifully maintained. The kitchen was fully equipped, making it easy to prepare meals and feel right at home. The views were stunning—perfect for enjoying morning coffee or evening sunsets. Best of all, the hosts were the nicest we've ever encountered—so kind, responsive, and thoughtful. This stay exceeded our expectations in every way. Highly recommend! And dog Friendly!

Spring Break Ski Trip
Wonderful home for our large group. Great amenities and well appointed. Perfect location within 5 minutes of Purgatory Resort.
My family and I thoroughly enjoyed our time at the Stargazer Chalet. A beautiful property that was clean and well-furnished, it offered plenty of space and amenities that left us wanting for nothing. Check in process was very simple and communication with the owner was friendly and easy. I would definitely recommend this to anyone looking to visit the Durango/Purgatory area.

It’s conveniently located between Durango and Silverton which made visiting the different sights very easy. The home owners are very accommodating and kind. Don’t pass this one up.
