RELAXING ON THE DECK (or living/dining area) of our guesthouse with the STUNNING VIEWS of the Animas Valley and surrounding mountains, you'll know you've picked the right home for your Durango vacation. This home is located within a 6 minute drive of the historical downtown area. If you enjoy walking or biking, the Animas River walk and biking path runs along the river for close to 9 miles one way and the road below our hill willtake you to the path located just 1 mile down the road. The home sits within walking distance to a great sports club and the Durango Recreation Center is a 3 minute drive. Also within walking distance is two bakeries, a Sushi restaurant, a Mexican place and a dominoes pizza. One of our 4 grocery stores in town is down the road one mile with plenty of restaurants between the store on the way to historic downtown Durango.

This home's main floor has an open living area that includes living area, dining areaand kitchen with a deck and all overlooks our beautiful Animas River Valley and its surrounding mountains. There is a queen bed upstairs in this area also and a full bath and laundry room also on this floor. The home is nicely furnished with your comfort in mind and all the conveniences of home. The kitchen has all the appliances and utensils for your culinary needs. On the ground level there is a king bed in the master and we've' added two twins to what was suppose to be an office when it was built. There is a full bath between these two rooms. There is a garage and a carport attached to this home.

Known for our 300 days of blue sky, the weather in the area is perfect not only for winter sports, but in the spring, summer and fall for hiking, biking, rock climbing, golf, horseback riding, river rafting and riding the historical Durango Silverton narrow gauge train. Fly fishing is great in the Animas River that runs through the town and valley, but there is also fishing in many lakes and other rivers close by. There are excellent restaurants and great shopping with wonderful art galleries in the city.

Just 45 minutes away, you can be at the entrance to Mesa Verde, the largest Indian Cliff Dwellings found so far in the world I believe. Listed by the United Nations as a world cultural center, this is a site people from around the world come to see. In the summer, Mesa Verde guides will take guests on a walking tour into some of the ruins (must have a guide so will need a reservation) but there is a loop drive that is well marked for people to see the ruins from the top without walking a lot which most can also be seen from a wheelchair. No reservations so far for this is required but always check before going. Our downtown Visitor center can answer many questions and may have more accurate information for all activities in and around our spectacular area.

People also come from all over the world to ride the Durango/Silverton Narrow gauge train. This train leaves the downtown train station and takes its' passengers through the Animas Valley to Cascade Canyon and then on to Silverton, the old mining town. Jeep tours can be taken from there or Durango, by the way if planned ahead.

Many who visit our area like to drive 'the loop where the highway goes over several mountain passes, including what is called the million dollar highway, to Silverton, Quray and Telluride. I personally don't recommend the million dollar highway in the winter but it's well worth the drive in the spring, summer and fall

Speaking of winter: Purgatory Ski area is a 25 mile beautiful drive . Chapman Hill is a small in-town ski area just 3 mins away . There is cross-country skiing, ice skating, snowmobiling and sleigh rides available close by. We normally have great skiing conditions and sunny weather without long lines of some of the more famous ski areas. Purgatory is fun in the winter for snow activities but summer brings as much fun with scenic rides on the ski lifts, slide down the mountain, a roller coaster ride, zip lining, and other fun actives that the kiddos always love.

We'll be happy to share info of different hikes and biking trails you might wish to take if you are here in spring, summer and fall.

Check out our 5 star reviews. We know from experience and our past guests that you will most likely want to stay longer than you plan. Seems there is never enough time to do all there is do here in the summer for sure. We have guests who book every summer and some repeat customers stay for as long as a month. After September, we have excellent rates if guests want to book for the entire winter or for a few months after New Years. We might consider a well-behaved and trained small dog for month to month. Because too many guests are allergic to cats we don't accept cats.

Please note cancellation policy: We've only had a couple of cancellations because of family emergencies. We've been able to rebook each time so we returned their money.There is no guarantee though w/out insurance. We are only one property so if someone cancels close to their arrival time, we might not be able to fill the space since most people plan their vacations to Durango pretty far in advance.

We'll look forward to hearing from you! Carol and Larry

    Exceeded our expectations! Great location, just minutes from shopping, restaurants, bars, etc.The property is up on a hill which gives great views and wildlife watching. The property is much larger than pictured with a master (king bed),secondly bedroom (2 twin beds), and large bathroom downstairs. The upstairs is the livingroom, kitchen, dining, full bath, and a queen bed for overflow guests.The place was spacious and well furnished.I would definitely recommend this property to families needing space and the close convenience of town.Happy Travels!!Nicole

    We spent 8 days at the house with our 3 kids (6-12). The house was convenient to everything and the perfect amount of space for us. Carol was an excellent hostess. She even let us borrow a shovel so the kids could improve their snow fortress and snowman. We made dinner at the house most nights, but spent all day adventuring. We took the train to Cascade Canyon, visited Hot Springs Durango, went ice skating in Silverton, on a day adventure to Mesa Verde, ice fishing with Julien from Gofishdurango.com, and skiing in Purgatory. Our family tends to struggle with elevation, but we did fine in Durango.The area was beautiful and the house fit our needs perfectly.

    This was a great property. There was nothing we needed that wasn't there. The beds were comfortable. It was clean. We had air conditioning but never used it as there was a great breeze. The ice maker was great as we went on day trips and could take a small cooler with us. We had lots of deer around the house which were fun to watch. It couldn't have been much cleaner. There was road construction in front which caused some nouse and dust, but the work stopped at 5PM and weekends were quiet. This dhould be vompleted shortly. I would DEFINITELY stay here again!

    My entire family rated this our best vacation ever. Carol and Larry the owners of the VRBO were amazing. Super nice. the house was clean, comfortable, just perfect. We had a family size of 5 and there was more than enough room. Beds were super comfortable. It felt like home. Carol is one of the nicest ladies I have ever met. I hope we get to visit Durango every year at least once or twice. Our entire family would definitely recommend this VRBO and Colorado to anyone. Thank you Carol and Larry for an amazing stay. We appreciate all the eating and adventure recommendations and we loved your home. Also the views from this home were amazing. The location is two story and the second floor has a balcony/deck that had a view of the mountains, just glorious.
