About this property

Secluded & newly remodeled Durango beauty close to town with large yard

Enjoy the best of both worlds at La Plata View, a peaceful Durango retreat with beautiful views of the La Plata Mountains, a large grassy yard, and a quiet setting just about one mile from downtown. Watch for deer wandering through the yard, take in the mountain scenery, and return home to a comfortable space after a day exploring Southwest Colorado.

Whether you're visiting Durango for an outdoor adventure, exploring the Durango & Silverton Narrow Gauge Railroad, visiting Fort Lewis College, or simply looking for a relaxing mountain getaway, La Plata View offers a convenient home base with easy access to everything Durango has to offer.

The bright, open living area features high ceilings, wood floors, comfortable seating, and a gas fireplace for cozy evenings. Large windows bring in plenty of natural light and showcase the surrounding mountain views. After a day of exploring, settle in with a movie on the TV or simply relax and enjoy the scenery from the comfort of the living room.

The updated kitchen is well equipped for preparing everything from a quick breakfast before heading out for the day to a relaxed dinner at home. Stainless steel appliances, a dishwasher, ample counter space, and a breakfast bar make the kitchen both functional and connected to the main living area. When you'd rather dine outside, step onto the patio and fire up the gas grill while enjoying the fresh mountain air.

La Plata View offers three comfortable bedrooms and sleeps up to six guests. The home provides a combination of king, queen, and additional beds to accommodate families, couples traveling together, or small groups looking for more space than a hotel can provide. A full bathroom serves the home, along with a washer and dryer for added convenience.

One of the highlights of La Plata View is the peaceful outdoor setting. The large grassy yard provides room to relax, enjoy the mountain scenery, and keep an eye out for local wildlife, including deer that frequently visit the property. The patio offers another place to enjoy the outdoors, whether you're starting the morning with coffee, grilling dinner, or watching the mountains change throughout the day.

La Plata View is tucked away in a quiet setting while remaining conveniently close to downtown Durango. You're about one mile from downtown's restaurants, shops, and attractions, with easy access to the Durango & Silverton Narrow Gauge Railroad and the area's many outdoor adventures. Spend the day hiking, biking, skiing, sightseeing, or exploring the San Juan Mountains, then return to a peaceful retreat where you can slow down and enjoy the views.

With mountain views, a private yard, a comfortable living space, a fully equipped kitchen, gas fireplace, patio, grill, washer and dryer, WiFi, and free parking, La Plata View offers a comfortable Durango basecamp for guests who want convenient access to town and outdoor adventures without giving up the peace and scenery of a mountain getaway.

Only 3 min drive, 20 min walk back to town, but out enough where it is very quiet. Kitchen is small but we easily cooked att meals. Stainless cookware was appreciated. There are lounge chairs in the shed to lay out if you want. It is up a short gravel drive, but has parking in front of house as well as side. Good value for money.

Very clean, it was really nice for our family of 5. We did get to see some mule deer roaming around the yard, and bear tracks. Which were pretty awesome. The amenities were nice, easy to get location from all of the shops and local places.

Great location in Durango and close to everything. Roomy house with a nice patio, kitchen, and living room. The one bathroom was a bit small though. Very clean and good communication with Vacasa.

Liked: Communication, location
Disliked: Check-in
The location is great, but don't book this property in the Summer. It was unseasonably hot during our stay, and the house doesn't have central air. The description of the property didn't mention that. The host provided a portable air conditioner, but it was very inadequate. The filter was so dirty that it couldn't operate very efficiently. Even after we cleaned the filter, it was not adequate to cool the whole house when it was 100 degrees outside. There were oscillating fans for each bedroom to set in front of the windows at night, but it was still really hot when trying to sleep, until about the middle of the night. The property was not easy to find. It would have been helpful to have something attached to the mailbox to make the driveway obvious. The TV wasn't working when we got there, but the host was responsive and sent someone over the day after we checked in. We almost locked ourselves out of the house, because there wasn't a warning that when you close the door it automatically locks back. Luckily we had opened the other door, because otherwise we would have been stuck, because I left my purse and phone in the house to go unload items from the car. There are no games or puzzles or books at the house for family entertainment. A hotel would have been a cooler more enjoyable stay. I have stayed at many short-term rentals, and this was the first bad experience I have had.

Thank you for taking the time to provide such detailed feedback. We’re glad you enjoyed the location and appreciate your kind comments about our responsiveness when the TV issue was reported. We sincerely apologize that the home did not provide the level of comfort you expected during an unusually hot stay. We understand your concerns regarding the lack of central air, the portable A/C unit and its filter, and the difficulty keeping the home comfortable during the extreme temperatures. We also appreciate you bringing the property’s visibility, door-locking process, and lack of family entertainment options to our attention. Your feedback regarding the keypad and access to the home is especially helpful, as clear instructions and easy, reliable access are important to the guest experience. We’ve shared your feedback with our local team so they can review these concerns and identify areas where improvements can be made. We’re sorry that your experience fell short of what you expected, and we genuinely appreciate you bringing these issues to our attention.

Nice Small House

House was very clean and well stocked. It is close to Fort Lewis College, but a little outside of walking distance to access downtown. The only limitation is that there is just one bath (we had 4 adults), but that was very clear from the listing. I would stay here again.

It's an OK property, not premier. Some nice views and close to downtown. However, the property has issues. Most of them are brought up in past reviews. But they go unfixed. With some time, effort, and money. You could make this a better place. And what's with the huge cleaning fee???!

Thank you for your feedback. We’re sorry to hear the home didn’t fully meet your expectations. We regularly inspect and maintain the property, and while some features and comfort preferences can be subjective, we appreciate you sharing your perspective. The cleaning fee reflects the cost of professionally preparing the home for each stay.Thank you again for your comments, as they help guide future improvements.

Good place to stay

The property was great. We had a little hard time finding it but your directions were good. We just took a few passes. The house was comfortable and suited our needs. Beautiful location. Our only suggestion would be to turn up the hot water a little and find a way to increase the water pressure. The shower needed warmer water with more water pressure.

We took our adult children skiing for a week, and this house suited our needs just fine. The only glitch was the electronic door lock didn’t work when we arrived late at night. It took a little while, but we eventually got the code for the lockbox containing the keys.
