About this property
Casa Durango - 3 BR 1BA, Pet Friendly Home in Durango on W 2nd Ave
Casa Durango is a charming 3 bedroom 1 bath 1300 sq ft home located on Durango's northwest grid. Our home was originally built in 1896 and was recently updated to include a new kitchen, bathroom, interior paint and furnishings. It still has that vintage feeling but has all the modern amenities. Our home, like most homes in Durango, does not have AC, but the temperature is easily manageable. The kitchen is fully stocked with dishes and utensils and the dining table comfortably seats four and does have an additional leaf to seat a few more. The living room has a L-shaped couch, large ottoman, a Samsung 40" tv with DirecTV and high speed WiFi. Two bedrooms have new comfortable queen beds and the third bedroom has a new twin daybed with trundle mattress and all have high quality linens and pillows. The third bedroom also has a large beanbag, 36" Flat screen TV with DirecT & Roku and many shelves containing games and puzzles. The backyard is fenced and there is a new gas BBQ on the deck. During the summer there is a outdoor dining set on the deck which seats six people. Our house is dog friendly. The garden is fairly well fenced but not secure enough to contain a pup who really wants to explore the neighborhood. Walk, hop on one of our cruisers (5 available) or take the Durango Trolly which stops 1 block from the house into the historic downtown district for dinner, shopping, bars or to just wander around. There are so many great outdoor activities in and around the Durango area: Durango Silverton Narrow Gauge Rail Road, Mesa Verde National Park, Durango Mountain Resort, Sky Ute Casino, Telluride, Gold Medal fly fishing, Animas River, horse back riding, golf, skiing, Jeep tours, rafting, hunting, kayaking, historic district, shopping, world class mountain and road biking, scenic tours and motorcycle touring. The Animas River is only a three minute walk from the house. If you choose to walk downtown, the swing bridge over the Animas River is only blocks away as is the bike path. Historic downtown Durango is less than a mile from the house and an easy walk. Wake up to the whistle of Durango Silverton Narrow Gauge Train and we hope you enjoy your stay at our home.

About the host
Hosted by Lisa & Johnny Fort
Johnny and I love Durango and we hope you will too. We try and get back there as often as possible and by recently turning the house into a vacation rental (v. a long term rental) allows us to actually stay in the house when we visit. We are Northern California natives and currently reside in Corte Madera, CA.
Why they chose this property
Johnny bought the house sight unseen after visiting Durango to visit a friend who had lived there since college. The residential neighborhood is convenient to everything and the neighbors are all very friendly.
What makes this property unique
It's a funky old property that was build in the late 1800's. It has a lot of heart and still has that old rustic, southwest cabin feel.
