About this property

Downtown Durango-New Custom Timber Frame-the Carriage House

The Carriage House is a beautiful custom home located in a bustling part of historic downtown Durango. The house was completed in 2011 and was built to the highest standard of quality, with warm timber frame accents, radiant-heat floors, and stained concrete counters and sinks. This house is a legal and permitted vacation rental so there will be no troubles with your stay (project #19-030, permit #19-030).
We own another house downtown: the Durango Hideout that sleeps 10 in 4 bedrooms (vrbo# 1150651).
The Carriage house has 3 bedrooms, which are all located upstairs. The master has its own spacious bathroom and a king bed. A second bedroom has a queen bed. Then there is a third bedroom that has a queen along with a twin in a loft of this room. The entire second floor has gorgeous vaulted timber ceilings. Downstairs, there is a full bathroom, a great room, and the kitchen, which has bar seating, stainless steel appliances, and concrete counter tops. Outside, there is a front porch and a back patio, which is equipped with a grill and seating. Inside, the on-demand hot water system ensure you will always have plenty of hot water. The house is now equipped AC. We put individual units in the bedrooms and one in the living space so it will be plenty cool.

This is the perfect spot to enjoy the Durango lifestyle, as you are in a busy neighborhood within minutes of restaurants, shops, the bike path, the Animas River, and city parks. Sit on the front porch and watch the Durango-Silverton Narrow Gauge Train rumble right by the house, or take a stroll on the river path that’s just a minute away.

Great location! Such a beautiful area to walk around — the Animas River Trail is amazing to have so close, especially with the botanical garden right along it. We saw so much wildlife, explored downtown, and enjoyed plenty of restaurants. Got our steps in and loved every minute of it. Lots of wildlife and deer you name we seen it!

Highly recommended! As experienced guests (400 nights in 50 short term rentals), this home checks the boxes that matter. From a quality and design standpoint, this is one of the best properties we have ever experienced. It’s stylish and cozy. The furniture is comfortable, and there’s plenty of room to spread out. The main bathroom is simply stunning. It’s also an easy 10 minute walk to the center of town. The host Andrew is responsive, helpful, and friendly.When we return to the area, we will definitely stay here!

This place was perfect for me & siblings, attending a family reunion in Durango. The house is exactly as advertised and was very clean. This host provided the most accessories, i.e. towels, sheets, toilet paper, etc., than any house I have rented. The location is close to the train station, Mesa Verde, a grocery store and multiple restaurants. We would definitely stay here again! (One suggestion - add a "bar" to the main bathtub for short people to hold onto as the tub is pretty deep to step into) Thanks again Andrew - great place!

Very comfortable and well maintained property. Everything worked, kitchen well stocked and property close to downtown and walking distance to the Animas River. Beds are a little firm, but thats a personal preference. Property close to busy street.

This house was a great fit for our family of 5 during a week-long stay in Durango. The kids loved that we were less than a block from the river, hatchery and trails. The house was clean and easy to keep cool even during the middle of the summer. Host was attentive to any questions we had during our stay. Highly recommend.

Wonderful stay in Durango! My husband and I, with our dog, had a great one week stay working remote. Communication and check in were smooth. The place is spacious, clean, and comfortable. We enjoyed the outdoor space in the front and back of the house. So nice to have a parking spot right outside the door. Walkable to town and right next to a park, brewery, and the river trail. We loved enjoying the trail and the town right near the place!

This house was great! It was exactly as represented on the website. Really clean, plenty of space. It had everything we could possibly need, and was well appointed. The kitchen was well stocked, the bedrooms had plenty of plugs next to the beds, there were soaps and body wash in the bathrooms. Plenty of games in the living room, and tvs in each bedroom. It is centrally located, and easy to get to. We will definitely stay again!

Weekend Getaway

Our family of four stayed here for a weekend of soccer. We were looking for a house with enough room and beds for two kids and four adults in a walkable location. This house delivered! Everyone was happy to watch the train steam by, to catch the walking path along the river, and to have plenty of walkable space for the dog.
