Historic Downtown Cottage - Walk to Main Street and Animas River Trail

City of Durango LUP-14-243

Our 2 bedroom, 1 bathroom single level home is just a 5 minute walk to historic downtown Durango and all of the downtown restaurants, shops and entertainment including the famous Durango & Silverton Narrow Gauge Railroad and Museum. The remodeled cottage was originally a miners home in the late 1800s. The home is also less then a 10 minute walk to Santa Rita Park and the Animas River (with great fishing and a 5 mile trail along the river).

The home features great outdoor space including a front porch and large fenced backyard with seating and a BBQ grill. There is also off street parking for 2 cars. The home has Roku and fast WIFI and the TV is a smart TV so you can access your favorite streaming services (Netflix, Disney etc.). The Master bedroom has an AC Unit for those few days of summer when opening the windows at night is not quite enough to cool the home down and there is also portable evaporative cooler on wheels that can be easily moved any room in the house. There are also portable fans in the home.

Bed Configuration:
Master - Queen
2nd - Queen

Stay with us and we offer DISCOUNTS on both summer (white water rafting, horseback riding etc.) and winter (ski/snowboard rentals, sleigh rides, snowmobile tours etc.) activities.

Lovely small home

We love this homey little place that is centrally located in town. It is close to downtown, and is so comfortable. It is large enough to accommodate our needs but small enough to be cozy. The kitchen is well equipped and we enjoy making dinner in. We loved having coffee on the front porch in the morning, and having a nice family dinner in the back yard with our adult sons that live in Durango. Thank you for sharing your home with us!

Can't get a better location in a cute cottage!

This block in Durango is quiet, with locals waving and saying hello as if you lived among them. You get to see the stars, hear the trains, see the deer/elk wonder through town, with the ease on parking close to the cottage. The home is adorable with any amenity you need. Our 3 week stay had us wanting to stay longer. Great host!

Cute cottage

This is a cute little cottage within an easy walk to the main street in Durango. Comfortable and clean. Although be prepared as the floor has a definite slope - as many older homes do. Kitchen stocked with necessary equipment, washer/dryer is a nice to have. The backyard is wonderful for coffee in the morning, or cocktails in the afternoon. Nothing to do with the house or the owners, but the street is pretty dark when walking home at night. We had a great 3 night stay, definitely recommend as an affordable option if staying in Durango.

Walking distance to main street

We enjoyed our stay the cottage since it was walking distance to Main street, the train station and church. The front porch was a nice place to relax. The only downside was the second bedroom bed was a futon mattress which was very uncomfortable.

Charming Victorian home

This darling home is only 4-5 blocks from downtown Durango and is in a charming quiet neighborhood. Bathroom is a bit small but is doable for 2....would be tough with 4 people staying in the house. Everything was as advertised....our only criticism is that the front porch was dirty and we didn’t know ahead of time that there was no tv.....neither was a big deal!

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was very happy with the location. I was more than satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: My husband and 5yo twins and I had a lovely week in Durango. We were there for the Peaks and Tides sailing school which was the best camp my kids participated in all summer. We were glad to be able to walk to downtown restaurants and to bike to the Animas River Trail and Santa Rita playground. The house was great for our week stay... there is a nice kitchen and lovely outdoor space in the front and back. The house provided the basics for cooking (pots, pans, plates, etc), but we needed to buy our own salt, coffee, and Kleenex. The management company was the best I've ever dealt with in terms of communication.

Dont stay here until they replace the beds.Terrible bed or whatever that was a folded up futon type bed with a horrible egg carton foam topper...I couldn't sleep in it. The other bed was very soft so my parents had a hard time sleeping as well.

Great location

This is a cute house located blocks/walking distance from Main street Durango. Street parking should be abundant except for all the neighbors park their vehicles around the front and side of house. There is parking in backyard area of house for a single vehicle though. Also, while weather is typically great in Durango, if it is hot there is not AC in this house. And last the whole house leans left and to the rear so be prepared for that. If you drop something that rolls, it's headed to the back door.

No Return

The houses not as clean as we expected. There is no air condition and should be cleared explained as we stayed during a heatwave. And were available but no air conditioning. There is almost no level floor within the house. The ice maker did not work. The location to town attracted us but we will not use it again. All electric plugs at floor level? not sure that meets code. Someone bought a house close to town, made a less than professional attempt of remodel. This type of property should be in a special category in VRBO for lower expectations.

No kitchen supplies

The front porch needed swept, first appearance!!! Kitchen only had salt and pepper. So you’ll need everything, I travel a lot, the point of renting house is to cook meals. Every place I’ve been to has spices, oils, ketchup mustard, etc…. Would have been so expensive to buy everything. Bathrooms usually have shampoo and conditioner etc… they had nothing but a very old sample. Floors were dirty, house smelt so horrible of Lysol it was overwhelming.

Great location, but…

I want to start with the positives! The location was great and we literally walked everywhere. Bathroom and Kitchen was nice and clean. Plenty of towels.. The accolades stop there. The high price does not match the quality of this home. The foundation is faulty and the entire house leans down hill. The house was infested with spiders. There were cob webs EVERYWHERE. After walking around all day, we came back to find little black bugs crawling on the bed (not bed bugs). There was no AC in the house and we were aware of that. However, out of the very few fans they provided, only 2 worked. They instructed that we could open the windows and it would cool the house down. We did it all night and still had miserable night sleeping. 1, because it was hot! 2, we are not from this area and we didn’t know the safety of keeping windows open all night with our very small children sleeping in the bedrooms. That would keep any mother up. Lastly, in the back bedroom upon arrival, we checked under the bed (just a weird thing I do) someone’s dirty socks were still under there from previous visitors. Not that big of a deal, but still bothered me. They should most certainly invest in some bug and spider control, maybe a few more fans for the summer time.

In the heart of Durango

We enjoyed staying at this home. It was just the right size for my husband and me: very clean & comfortable and had everything we needed for our 3 night stay. There was a comfortable 2nd bedroom too, which our five-year old grandson enjoyed for a sleepover. The home is easy walking distance to historic downtown Durango and the neighborhood is a great place for walking and observing the Autumn colors.

Great location

The home is small and older, but well maintained. It worked perfect for our small family. We had a great place to call "home" at the end of the day, very comfortable and better than staying at a hotel. Also, it is very central to downtown and you don't get caught up in the traffic you do in other areas.
