STUDIO 203: AMAZING Mountain Views - 5 Minutes to Downtown Durango! Pet Friendly
Ready to feel like you're living like a local in the beautiful mountain town of Durango, Colorado? This Studio has the most incredible views and adventures - right outside your door!
Just 5 minutes north of downtown Durango and 25 minutes from Purgatory Ski Resort.
STUDIO 203 is perfect for (a maximum of) 2 people ages 24+.
**ONE DOG up to 50 pounds is allowed - WITH pet fee added to your reservation. We love dogs, and Durango is super dog friendly with countless activities here. But for this unit, ONLY 1 DOG is allowed **with pet fee.** {If you have a dog, be sure you add the pet fee to your booking.} Dog must not be left home alone or bark a lot, as there is a rental house above this unit. **If more pets are brought in, it will result in a $300 fine. Pet owners are responsible for cleaning up all pet waste and for any damages caused by pet.
STUDIO 203 is close to ALL the hiking, biking, water fun, and more! The Studio has a Queen size bed. Full bathroom has everything you need (shampoo, conditioner, body wash, soap, lotion, linens, hair dryer, etc.). Please note - due to the small space, the shower is quite small but definitely does its job. The Studio also has a kitchenette with a 4-burner cooktop, microwave, mini-fridge, eating ware and utensils, pots/pans, paper towels, napkins, a coffee maker, coffee, and more. Everything you need for a comfortable stay!
PLEASE NOTE: When the upper house is rented out during your stay, there will be some noise due to people walking on the deck above, etc. This space has more of an apartment feel, so if you are looking for complete silence, this may not be the place for you. From your parking spot, there IS AN UPHILL walk (20 seconds or so) to The Studio door, so keep that in mind if mobility is an issue.
FAVORITE ACTIVITIES NEARBY:
1) Purgatory Ski Resort (Winter & Summer fun)
2) Hiking (Some of our favorite hikes: Animas Mountain, Rim Trail @ Fort Lewis College (a good hike for getting acclimated to the altitude), Engineer Mountain, Spud Lake (4x4 required!), Haviland Lake (great place to hang out, get on the water on paddle board or kayak, etc.)
3) Durango & Silverton Train
4) Downtown Durango
5) Oxbow Preserve (great for river access, swimming, and has a great (paved) walking area that connects to Animas River Trail)
...and much, much more! We have town maps, hiking and dining info, etc. at the Studio for your reference.
IMPORTANT INFO:
**PET: ONE dog up to 50lbs is allowed WITH pet deposit. No more than that. ($300 fee for sneaking in multiple dogs, so just don't do it.) :) Dog must not be left alone or bark much. Pet owners are responsible for cleaning up all pet waste.
**NO SMOKING of any kind is allowed.** Thank you for your understanding of our private residence and also the extreme drought we are in and the absolute danger and destruction that even one spark can cause.
**NOISE: Please keep noise to a minimum if/when on your porch chairs, as we are a private residence. (Most people are so worn out from all the amazing hiking and outdoor activities (and altitude) that they are in bed quite early.)
**Like most homes in Durango, this home does NOT have Air Conditioning. Keeping sun OUT during the day by keeping blinds down, windows open at night in the summer with a fan blowing cool air in is how we coordinate that here in CO. It will be a bit warm in the summer but not unbearable.
MORE ABOUT THIS PROPERTY:
This is a private property that has 3 main units.
**SEE the labeled PANO PHOTO OF THE PROPERTY in the last photo to see the layout of STUDIO 203 and parking. (Click on that image to enlarge so you can see the whole property.)
1) The Owner's home.
2) Rental House (above Studio 203) with deck
3) STUDIO 203. Please note: If the upper house is rented out during your stay, there may be some noise through the floor (people walking on the deck, etc.), but people are usually out exploring most of the day and in bed early.
PARKING: Your parking spot is about a 20-second uphill walk from Studio 203. Details will be provided in the Welcome Packet we send closer to the date.
It's a beautiful place to stay with INCREDIBLE views and adventures right out your door, and it's close to EVERYTHING here in Durango.
