Location parking incredible! George was great although we never really needed him as we had no problems. We explored the area every day then in the evenings we were able to walk to restaurants and bars which is priceless. Very cute, well maintained, and VERY clean.

Amazing property! Great location downtown. We loved hearing the train and seeing it from a few locations. The kitchen was more than adequately supplied for those that like to cook. Great art work and books. BYO TV. Can’t wait to go back!

Perfect downtown spot

We had a lovely stay at this cozy, art-filled studio. It was a convenient spot for downtown restaurants, galleries and the Durango to Silverton railway. And it gave us a quiet space to decompress after sightseeing.

George has created such a cozy and inviting space. It is tucked away and private with a lovely outside space to enjoy, but it is still close to all of the shops and restaurants in downtown. The grocery store and Walgreens are also an easy walk. There is so much to enjoy in Durango. This studio is such a great retreat. I look forward to coming back!

All bases covered, all amenities provided, location, location, location! Turns out my sister has stayed with you years ago and loved her time as much as we enjoyed ours. The washer/dryer was particularly useful and ya gotta love a/c for those hot Colorado days and nights. Thanks George! It was perfection! (Side note: Caution when opting for “mystery car” from car rental! Ours was a bright red [egad!] Dodge Ram 2500 pickup that was a beast to park and actually stuck out over the “line” in the unit’s parking space.)

This cozy loft has everything you need; just perfect for a couple. The space is very well utilized with plenty of natural light and convenient plug outlets. The bed was very comfortable and the bath/shower were excellent. If you are looking for cookie sheet or a baking pan check the oven or warming drawer. We looked and looked and finally stumbled upon them. They did need to be washed. Also be aware of events in the park across the street with music. We experienced that but the music stopped at a reasonable hour so did not bother our sleep at night. The location is great for convenience to explore restaurants and shops along Main Street. Very walkable. The parking is convenient but rather tight if you have a larger SUV. We were driving a Kia Telluride. Overall, a great stay!

Awesome and totally cozy spot

Love the location and the off street parking. It was so nice and cozy, and the location is stellar. The house was spotlessly clean and all of the little extras were there. We’ll absolutely stay here again. This is our new favorite in Durango. We go down there every couple of months and we’re looking forward to a repeat!

About the host

Hosted by George Schmidt

Host profile image
I moved to Durango right out of high school in 1991. I waited tables at a restaurant for three months before deciding I needed to do more. I went to college, and then lived and worked in NYC for twenty years before finally making it back to Durango in 2010.
I'm an Artist, and a builder, and the Stonehouse gave me the opportunity to bring these two skills together. A gut renovation that I began in 2010 left the historic vibe of the building intact, while allowing me to totally update all the mechanical systems. I love mountain biking on the trails around town, hiking, backpacking, rafting, and exploring the deserts and mountains with my partner Amber Johnson, a Durango Native (that rare breed!) that i'm lucky enough to share my adventures with.

Why they chose this property

The Stonehouse Studio is a unique downtown property that is super close to Main Street, but provides a remarkable feeling of seclusion, even in the heart of busy downtown Durango. A Durango landmark, it was built in the 1890's making it one of the oldest buildings in town. After completion of a major renovation in 2010-12, I completely updated all the systems of the building while retaining the charming vibe of the nineteenth century stone building. There is a large private backyard, which is tucked away behind a fence and deck, but that offers views of the large trees in Buckley Park, right across the street. From the Stonehouse Studio you can walk anywhere you might want to go in downtown Durango. All the best restaurants and shops, galleries, bars and grocery stores are just minutes away on foot. All of the Mountain Biking Trailheads are easily accessed from downtown, and are there are literally hundreds of miles of trails you can access directly from the driveway in just a few minutes ride.
