almost perfect!
Our granddaughter was married at the Black Diamond Ranch, so the location was perfect. The house is very livable but a little dated-altho the bidet toilet was amazing! It had an a good vibe and accommodated our family 10-ages 83-9-very comfortably. We didn't understand that our SUPs weren't allowed-interpreting the rules that anyone not staying in a house on the lake were not permitted use of the lake. Anyway, the man who patrols the lake was very informative and polite. We had some very "zen" time in the canoe.

Perfectly Peaceful
The perfect location for a peaceful and relaxing vacation. Right on the lake with good fishing. Plenty of relaxing spots on the property- lawn chairs with great views of the lake, hammock and 6 person hot tub on the deck. Spacious home with the added bonus of a ping pong and billiards table. Great spot to fish, relax and unwind with the family. Close to Durango, Purgatory resort and Lake Nighthorse for lots of family fun. We loved our stay.

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.

Christmas Ski Vacation
Had a good time. Home was a bit dated and could use some updating - especially downstairs and kitchen and baths! Lots of dangerous ice by garage door! Fire place wasn't closed or covered, making it dangerous for small kids. 1 minute drive to Purgatory - a ski Mtn that needs to groom more/way more than they do!

Ski weekend with friends.
This is an outstanding property near Pugatory resort. but secluded. Everything is well provisioned. This includes trackion gravel which we needed to help some vehicles in our group. Recent snow at record levels required attention to the posted signs for all wheel or 4 wheel drive. I highly recommend this retreat home.

Beautiful, Snowy escape to Purgatory Lake
As always, we had an amazing stay. This is our third year coming here and hope to continue coming back each year. The views are stunning. This year, we came in during a snow storm so we saw much more snow than in previous years. We had previously driven my CX-9 and put snow chains on to get up the mountain but there’s no way we would have made it up this year if we were in my car. Thankfully my husband bought a truck so it was much, much easier getting up the roads to the house in his 4WD. If you have kids, the whole bottom level of the house is pretty much theirs so that’s a huge plus for them. They have a TV to play games on, ping pong table, bunk beds and bathroom with a shower. They had a blast going down some hills around the house with the snow sleds provided. We had some questions for the owner regarding the house and he was very helpful and quick to respond. We would love to continue coming back each year!

This property was fantastic for us. I was pleasantly surprised with the proximity to purgatory resort. Ski area is about 30 seconds from the neighborhood entry. Loved the open layout with kitchen, living and dining rooms all in one area. Also has one of the better entertainment rooms I have seen in a rental. VERY large downstairs area with pool table, tennis table, gaming area and bunk room. View off the large back deck is enviable. To top it all off, easiest to contact owner I have ever done business with. We shall return.

Fantastic Place
Our family and friends had a fantastic time! There was ample amount of room to spread out and something for everyone to do. 46" of snow fell the week we were there so we were snowed in a day but the snow plow guy was great and made sure we could get in and out. Owner was fast to respond to any of our needs or concerns. Definitely would recommend to anyone that wants to stay close to the ski resort just make sure you have 4 wheel drive if going during snow fall.
