THE BLACK DIAMOND LODGE IN DURANGO, COLORADO
A Colorado Experience You’ll Always Remember
Panoramic Mountain views | Hotel-Style Lodging | Indoor + Outdoor Venue
Retreat into the Colorado wilderness for an unforgettably effortless wedding, event, or family reunion.
In a world of screens, feeds, and constant noise, Colorado’s scenic mountainside offers you (and your guests!) the ultimate escape.
The Black Diamond Lodge is tucked deep in the San Juan Mountains— just beyond the charming railroad town of Durango, Colorado. Spring and summer blooms, autumn leaves, and snow white winters give this charming Colorado wedding venue year-round natural elegance— while our experienced support team gives every stay an elegant polish.
Life’s biggest celebrations last only a moment — but Black Diamond memories last a lifetime.
“The lodge and meadow are absolutely gorgeous!
And nearly everyone attending the wedding was able to stay on site or nearby at Purgatory Resort…. If you’re looking for a truly incomparable experience for your wedding definitely check out Black Diamond. We can’t wait to come back for our anniversary!”

“We loved the Lodge!
Everyone having their own bed/bath was fabulous for all, and we made full use of the breakfast room to linger over coffee every day. In addition, the staff (both lodge and cleaning) was very helpful and accommodating. Best reunion location we've had - thanks for everything!”
