About this property
Highland Sage: Peaceful and Fenced Yard
With the Highland Sage as your home base in Durango, you will be able to park your car and walk everywhere in town. Walk four blocks and arrive at the heart of downtown with its restaurants, cafes, shops and the Durango Silverton Narrow Gauge Railroad.
The home is a pleasant and comfortable half-duplex with a fully enclosed landscaped back yard with patio and grill. There are three bedrooms and one bath. Kitchen and bath are updated and kitchen is well-equipped with stainless steel pots and pans and nice dishware. The queen bedroom is on one side of the living room and kitchen, and the double and single rooms are on the other side. The twin room contains a desk should guests want a dedicated workspace.
The Highland Sage offers plenty of storage in closets, kitchen cabinetry, and a large mudroom which is great for gear storage. The beds are are comfortable - a good night's sleep is key! Evaporative cooling in the Summer also provides for restful nights.
Main Avenue and downtown are an easy 4-block walk, as is the the Nature Trail and Sky Steps that climb up to Fort Lewis Collage and an expansive overview of downtown, the river and train. The neighborhood is pedestrian and dog-friendly and the block on which the Highland Sage resides is especially quiet and peaceful.
Guests are welcome to bring two pups, provided they don't get on furniture and aren't big barkers. No cats (sorry). Note that after booking, you will receive a brief rental agreement to review and sign with basic items including no parties and no pets unless included on reservation.
The Highland Sage has dedicated use of the fenced backyard while the other half of the duplex has dedicated use of the front deck, allowing for privacy and each for each of the homes.
With a large entry room for gear storage, extensive kitchen cabinet storage and the backyard to stretch out in, the Highland Sage is very enjoyable for longer stays.

About the host
Hosted by Victoria Schmitt
Served in the Peace Corps in Cameroun, West Africa. I moved to Durango in 2005 and worked as Professional Engineer for the county. Now retired, I am learning to grow and preserve food and most love transforming areas with native perennial plants and seeing all the life that springs forward. I trust in and follow Jesus Christ and have the opportunity to lead Bible studies and fellowship with incarcerated women.
Why they chose this property
I love that this duplex is right downtown where guests can park and walk everywhere. While many may drive out for adventures during the day, they can park at night and walk to Main Ave. Others choose to just leave the car completely and walk everywhere - such a great way to decompress and so relaxing. I love that while the home is so central, it also has a quiet, peaceful feel.
The backyard in the warmer months is an oasis - green and lush and spacious right in the heart of downtown. The Highland Sage layout is a little funky, but very functional, clean and fresh, well-equipped with essentials, and with lots of storage space for gear. For those with pups, the backyard can make all the difference in vacation, and anything that allows people to completely relax during their time away brings me joy.
What makes this property unique
Ideal location. Five-minute walk to the heart of downtown restaurants, shops and historic train. Fully enclosed, landscaped backyard. Dedicated work space (if not using twin bed for sleep space) overlooking yard. In addition to downtown, the Nature Trail and Sky Steps up to Fort Lewis College are just a few blocks away. Easy launch spot for everything in town and a peaceful place to which to return and relax.
