The best of Durango will be at your fingertips in this Victorian home, a beautifully updated historic property with a private deck and porch, upstairs air-conditioner, carpet, and an outstanding location close to hiking trails, a beloved local bike path, and the banks of the Animas River. This two-level home sits just two miles north of downtown Durango, which you can easily reach on the Animas River bike path only three blocks away. You'll be only one block from Main Avenue, three blocks from Memorial Park on the riverfront, four blocks from the Animas Mountain Trailhead, and 25 miles south of the ski slopes of Purgatory Resort, where you'll have 94 trails, five terrain parks, and an always-entertaining tubing hill to choose from. Head 20 miles east to go boating, fishing, or cross-country skiing at Vallecito Lake, or take an unforgettable trip back through time in the incredible cliff dwellings of Mesa Verde National Park, just 37 miles west.

Whether vacationing with your family or enjoying a couples' getaway, the thoughtful furnishings, high ceilings, and bright rooms will make you feel at home. Recuperate from an invigorating morning hike by reading the newspaper on the leather sofa, using the WiFi to post a few photos, and watching your favorite cable shows on the TV. Prepare homemade pancakes and scrambled eggs in the full kitchen, a welcoming space that blends charming country decor with sleek stainless steel appliances. Throw some strawberries and bananas in the blender, sip a cup of coffee in the breakfast nook, and set the dining room table for breakfast in the light of the south-facing window.

Stack the plates in the dishwasher for easy cleanup, and head outside to enjoy the Southwest Colorado sunshine. Watch your children play tag in the expansive yard or get lost in a novel on the back deck. Come mealtime, you can flip burgers and hot dogs on the gas grill and gather for lunch around the patio table. As the day ends, throw your biking and hiking clothes in the private washer/dryer and sit on the front porch with a cold beer or a glass of wine. The kids can retreat to the den just off the dining room, where they'll find a comfortable couch and a second TV to watch a few family favorites.

The primary suite features a TV and an attached bathroom with a claw-foot tub and a hand-held showerhead.

Immerse yourself in the outdoor wonders of Southwest Colorado - make this Durango vacation rental your next home away from home!

Horrible experience - House FULL of bugs - Bad Management
This stay was a horrible experience. The house looked clean on check-in but after the first night, the house was inundated with bugs crawling all over the place in every single room of the house. They were crawling all over the guests as we slept. When this issue was brought to the management, the only solution offered was to send an exterminator out. When the exterminator called me, he explained that his chemicals would get all over all the guests belongings and the house would have to be aired out the entire day to remove the smell and he did not recommend doing that while we stayed there. No options of relocating to another property or a hotel were every offered. We had to stay in this house full of bugs the entire stay. Property manager of this place is rude and unaccommodating. Refused to offer any compensation or refund for this issue after multiple attempts. Finally after an entire week of arguing with them, their best offer was a measly 10%. They tried to play this issue off as a normal issue where occasional bugs/critters can be seen in the house. This was NOT a normal issue, this was an infestation. Now on to the other issues. This house has no central AC. It has 1 single window unit upstairs in a hallway cooling the entire house. To call this house as an air conditioned house is inaccurate at best. Second, this house lists 2 full bathrooms with showers. Only 1 is a traditional shower, the other is a sitting shower. I would NOT recommend this property at all!!

Not an accurate listing. House is in disrepair.
When you arrive you will be surprised by the neglect of the property. Trees are dead. Lawn is brown and covered in animal feces. Inside house was infested with bugs. Stains on carpet and peeling paint. We informed Vacasa the managment company and they sent over an exterminator while we were out of the house and sprayed the house filling it with chemicals. We promptly left and they acknowledged the issues with the property and gave us a refund.

Beautiful old home right in town
The location was nice with mule deer wandering through the yard. The house was clean and well-cared for.

Durango House
This small house suited our needs very well in Durango and we had a good stay. It is in a very convenient location in relation to stores and restaurants being one short block from the main road going through town. It is about a mile drive to the old historic section of town. The grounds and deck could use some refreshment but the inside of the house was clean and functional. We knew about the fact that the one bathroom with a shower was downstairs and dealt easily with that. We didn’t focus on the fact that the one upstairs bathroom was connected to one of the bedrooms so if a person in one of the other 2 bedrooms needed to use the bathroom at night they needed to either go down the stairs or walk through the occupied bedroom. Not a showstopper for us but it could be an issue for some configurations of visitors. The TV service is very limited and we couldn’t even get the finals of the Stanley Cup. Overall I am prepared to highly recommend this house to users who are fully aware of its idiosyncrasies. We even had a long visit from a young male deer who spent most of one day on the property. The kids were very amused.

Dated but good location
It was like staying at Grandma's house...funny odor right when you walk in probably because of the carpet. The beds are very soft and need to be updated. They could use a king bed in one bedroom. The one shower downstairs was a bummer. The kitchen was missing a tea kettle and whisk. Teh outdoor deck needs to be re stained or replaced entirely. The furniture was not very comfortable.

Overall great! The keypad only worked once, and we had to call for help to unlock the house but we received immediate assistance and this wasn’t a big issue. Beds, furniture, we’re new and comfortable. Would definitely rent again.
