About this property

Purple Juniper: Downtown witth Sunny Front Deck

With the Purple Juniper as your home base in Durango, you will be able to park your car and walk everywhere in town. Walk four blocks and arrive at the heart of downtown with its restaurants, cafes, shops and the Durango Silverton Narrow Gauge Railroad.

The Purple Juniper is an intimate and inviting half-duplex facing a quiet, sunny neighborhood street. It is cozy with an open floor plan and updated bathroom and kitchen. The kitchen and living room are connected by a granite island with three seats. Additional dining seating in warmer months is a four-seat table on the front deck. The bedrooms have a queen bed in one room and two twins in the second room. All beds are solid, plush and comfortable. A good night's sleep is key! Evaporative cooling in the Summer additionally provides for restful nights.

In addition to Main Avenue and downtown, walk several blocks to the Nature Trail and Sky Steps. The neighborhood is pedestrian and dog-friendly, and the block on which the Purple Juniper resides is especially quiet and peaceful.

Guests are welcome to bring two pups, provided they stay off of furniture and aren't big barkers. No cats (sorry). Note that immediately after booking, you will receive a brief rental agreement to review and sign with basic items such as no parties or events and pet authorization if applicable.

Two things to consider in deciding whether this home is ideal for your family. First, it is a cozy space with 650 SF total. Second, the Purple Juniper does not have a yard. The other half of the duplex, which is a monthly rental, has a yard, but it is dedicated to that other other half. Likewise, the Purple Juniper has dedicated use of the front deck. This allows for privacy and ease for each of the homes. It means as well, however, that staying at the Purple Juniper with pups involves taking them out for walks, not an unpleasant task in the pedestrian-friendly neighborhood, but worth considering.

About the host

Hosted by Victoria Schmitt

Host profile image
Served in the Peace Corps in Cameroun, West Africa. I moved to Durango in 2005 and worked as Professional Engineer for the county. Now retired, I am learning to grow and preserve food and most love transforming areas with native perennial plants and seeing all the life that springs forward. I trust in and follow Jesus Christ and have the opportunity to lead Bible studies and fellowship with incarcerated women.

Why they chose this property

I love that this duplex is right downtown where guests can park and walk everywhere. While many may drive out for adventures during the day, they can park at night and walk to Main Ave. Others choose to just leave the car completely and walk everywhere - such a great way to decompress and so relaxing. I love that while the home is so central, it also has a quiet, peaceful feel.

Sitting out on the front deck in the Summer with the trees all around feels both connected and secluded. I like that people can come and find all the essentials in a clean, fresh home and completely relax into their time away.

What makes this property unique

Ideal location. Five-minute walk to the heart of downtown restaurants, shops and historic train. Wonderful front patio overlooking a pedestrian-friendly street. In addition to downtown, the Nature Trail and Sky Steps up to Fort Lewis College are just a few blocks away. The Purple Juniper is an easy launch spot for everything in town and a peaceful place to which to return and relax.
