Welcome
to the Silverpick Lodge, Condominiums and Townhomes at Durango
Mountain Resort.
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. 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.
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.
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.
Silverpick offers prime mountain accommodations at 8776.66
feet above the level of the sea in the bazillion acre San
Juan National Forest, Colorado's largest. Although built in
1984,
and remodeled last year, service and comfort at the Lodge
harkens
back to an earlier era of mountain hospitality. 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. Our staff is more
experienced than the norm and well versed in the area. We
are eager to help you enjoy your Rocky Mountain holiday.
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 .
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.
