This home is well furnished, spacious, excellent floor plan downstairs and up, kept us cool in very hot weather. We love porches and this has one reminiscent of my grandmother's porch in Ohio, wonderful trip back in time. And in a real neigborhood. Loved it.

One of the best short term rentals I have ever stayed in. Well equipped kitchen, very comfortable bedding and linens, very clean and organized. Communication was great. The host offered suggestions for dog friendly restaurants. We felt very at home. We especially loved the finer touches that you don’t get often like lots of outdoor seating, lots of household plants and whole coffee beans with a grinder. Thank you Holly!!!!

Excellent location, close to town and parks and and an easy forty minutes to Purgatory ski area. Especially the dog park for our pets. House was comfortable and well equipped with everything we needed for cooking and relaxation. Deer grazing outside was definitely a bonus

We had a wonderful stay at the beautiful Garden Home! Easy communication, walking distance to the fairgrounds (we were there for the motorcycle rally), and an absolutely lovely neighborhood! We loved it so much we will probably try to book it for next year!

Great location close to everything

Very nice stay. The house has a well stocked kitchen, mini splits for staying comfortable, and comfy beds. Close to downtown while off the main road means quiet mornings on the porch.

Unique and Homey Stay

We had an amazing stay here in Durango for 3 nights- the house is fully stocked with anything you could need (including basic condiments and spices in the kitchen which is a huge plus). Holly was very welcoming and made the check-in process a breeze. Would absolutely recommend staying here, I hope to again in the future!

The kitchen had everything we needed. The kitchen and eating area were spacious and worked very well for socializing during meal prep and eating. The back patio was quiet and cool, perfect for reading and relaxing. The dogs loved lying out there also.

A home away from home

We really felt this way the last couple times we stayed here. My family is so comfortable here, we can ride bikes to animas trail and downtown. It's a super cozy yet ample room my family of 4. We love sitting on the front porch!

Family weekend away

Our family of 4 came out for a quick weekend retreat to relax and enjoy Durango’s activities. This house was the perfect location for both downtown restaurants and shops as well as the hot springs. The neighborhood was quiet, the house was roomy and the yard was perfect for letting our dogs out in the cold alone. We will definitely come back!

Cute house great front porch

Home was close to downtown and the grocer. Comfortable beds in each room. Enjoyed reading on the front porch, in a rocking chair. Nice big TV which seated most of us. We spent all our days touring nearby National Parks/Monuments/Museums, so location was perfect.
