About this property
Garden Home: Private Home Downtown Durango
Garden Home: GORGEOUS 2,000 S.F. 3 BED, 2.5 BATH HOUSE DOWNTOWN!You get the whole house! Children & Pets Welcome. Patio, full kitchen, vaulted ceilings, warm, lots of light, comfortable beds, fenced yard, front porch, AC, Fast Wi-Fi, TV. Close to Downtown Durango, restaurants, shopping, the River Trail, parks, rec-center, transportation, 30 minute drive to skiing. Discounts for 2 people or less with no pets. Couples, Families, Adventurers Business Travelers & Bigger Groups. Fabulous House!
Our Garden Home Guesthouse is a beautiful 3 bedroom 2.5 bath house on West 3rd Avenue. There is also a playroom that makes out into a third bedroom. Take a short walk to dinner downtown, or enjoy the extensive River Trail that runs along the banks of the Animas River just a few blocks from the house. Or just sit on the classic front porch overlooking this quiet old-town Avenue neighborhood lined with huge trees. Feel good about taking a green vacation… this house has a 4.5 KW PV solar system providing 100% of the electricity!!
Garden Home is decorated in a serene garden style with high quality furnishings and original artwork. There is a full kitchen gas range and oven, kitchen aid dishwasher, plenty of dishes and pots and pans to cook a holiday meal for your family. All the little things like coffee, oil, and spices are there to make you feel at home. Also a full sized washer and dryer for your use with supplies provided. Two beautiful bedrooms upstairs have high-end queen sized mattresses for a comfortable nights sleep. There are down comforters and lots of extra towels and linens. The third room is a playroom that makes out into a nice sleeping area with a split king sized mattress.
Totally kid and pet friendly with our “Romper Room” full of toys that opens up to a fenced back yard. Your kids and dogs will have a blast exploring the nature trail up the back hill, safely fenced in. We have kids and dogs ourselves so have outfitted the house with plug covers and baby gates. There is also a beautiful play park with big shade trees, picnic tables, and great play equipment, two blocks away.
Garden Home is also good for couples, business travelers, and small or large groups. I do give discounts for two people or less.
It is a 30-minute drive to Purgatory (DMR) where you can ski some of Colorado’s best skiing. Or just stay in and make popcorn and take advantage of our comfy leather furniture, DVD Collection, LCD TV with Dish and small library of great books, and of course Wireless High Speed Internet. The downstairs has vaulted ceilings and slate tile floors with in floor heat for your winter comfort. The dining room has a glass door that opens up to a private courtyard covered with a trellis, a great place to have a romantic dinner al fresco.
We are local and have lived in Durango for a long time, so can help you plan your perfect downtown Durango vacation.
All the Best,

I am always available by text though my phone. We have lived here for 20 plus years and are more than happy to help you plan a great trip.
This is one of the most beautiful and friendly neighborhoods in all of Durango. Huge trees and wide streets with lots of green space. There is a shady park with playground equipment just two blocks away. Sitting on the front porch is our family`s favorite evening activity.
It takes about 15 minutes to walk downtown if you take the hanging bridge over the Animas River. You end up right in the heart of downtown at Guido`s Restaurant; excellent place for a glass of wine! We have cruiser bikes & helmets, you can use to get around town and down the bike path / River Trail. You can also catch public transport a block away. The Durango Rec Center is just a few blocks away. It`s about a 30 minute drive to get to Purgatory ski resort, if the roads are dry.
There is also a garage for one vehicle or lots of sports equipment.
The patio has a nice Weber Grill.
I will give a discount for 2 people or less with no pets.
The Durango Silverton Railroad is amazing.
You can tour Mesa Verde National Park.
Trails in Durango are great for hiking and mountain biking.
Raft trips down the Animas River are fun in the summer.
We have a Children`s Museum called the Powerhouse that is outstanding for kids.
There are a ton of good restaurants. Just let me know what you like and I will make some recommendations.
Durango is fun!

Why they chose this property
Location to downtown Durango, the River Trail, the library, and the Recreation Center. This is the best neighborhood in Durango!
What makes this property unique
Quiet old-town neighborhood that is super safe and close to the river trail and downtown. This is a gorgeous house, very family and pet friendly, and the back yard is super private, and now totally fenced for dogs and kids. Also I love how there is an outdoor arbored patio right off the kitchen for indoor/outdoor meals and entertaining. Great Weber BBQ. The beds are new and amazingly comfortable with super nice sheets and great down blankets. Beautiful house, lots of light, great place for a family to enjoy Durango.
