Very clean! Host was super friendly. In a great location to downtown and in a quiet neighborhood. Being pet friendly was a bonus! Great outside sitting areas! Would definitely book again.
Loved this rental. Nice residential area is an easy walk to the river walk and to shopping and restaurants. Hosts were wonderful. Very comfortable with plenty of room. Kitchen is well equipped and accessible. Bed very comfortable. Handy to have the washer & dryer. We stayed in summer and loved the outdoor space. This is one of the best rental units we’ve ever experienced.

About the host
Hosted by Joe Delling
Both of us attended here at Ft Lewis College and while we have both lived other places neither of us had ever found a place quite like Durango. We have both now Lived in town for more than 25 years. Yona is a nurse at the local hospital and Joe is a fly fishing guide and carpenter. We consider ourselves fortunate to be able to live and raise a family in such a unique location.
Why they chose this property
Ours is one of the few Victorian homes in the neighborhood built in the late 1800s. It required a lot of fixing up but the location and historical nature of the house was just too much for us to pass up. We finished construction on the Carriage house in early 2014 in hopes people would spend their vacations here and also as place for friends and family to stay when they visit.
What makes this property unique
One benefit of the properties location is that it butts to a forested hillside, this means we have no alley or neighbors behind us. The deck of the Carriage house faces this hill and its common to see deer and other wildlife pass through. I think it offers a privacy and feel that's hard to find in a location this close to Main Avenue. Also we have central air conditioning rather than window units to maximize comfort for our guests.
