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.

This was a lovely property that exceeded our expectations! It has a beautiful front fenced yard, a great deck and plenty of space in the house for 3 of us. The bikes were a nice treat and we rode them into town. There were lots of options to walk the dog around the neighborhood. The house is very well appointed - shampoo/conditioner, spices, etc.

great place in a great location

We stayed in Casa Durango for the Iron Horse Bike Race, and it was perfect for us. Great house and the backyard was perfect for relaxing after a few long days of biking. The owners were super-responsive and even the neighbors were friendly and helpful. Definitely recommend this one and when we're back in Durango, we'll try to stay here.

Relaxing getaway

We loved the house and the enclosed yard. We came for Thanksgiving and to ride the Polar Express. Unfortunately, only one of those happened as the train had maintenance issues the night we were supposed to ride. However, we enjoyed just relaxing at the house and eating the massive amounts of thanksgiving food and chocolate from the stores downtown.

Perfect for our family

Casa Durango was perfect for our family - mom, dad and two boys. It was close to where we wanted to be in Durango but in a very quiet neighborhood and it was nice to get away from the hustle and bustle of the tourist areas. The home was clean and nicely renovated, kitchen and laundry equipment very modern, great wireless internet. It had everything we needed/wanted for a great vacation. Would highly recommend the property.

Great House, Location & Amenities

Had a great stay at this house - clean, nicely furnished and numerous amenities that really made it feel comfortable. Special touches included being greeted by a complimentary bottle of wine and a welcome note by the owners, high end soap/shampoo/conditioner, well outfitted kitchen with nice place settings, board games and books, four bikes, backyard BBQ, outdoor lights, Tiki torches and a hammock. We didn't bring a dog, but saw that there was a dog bed and treats for those that do. The house was quiet and in a great location - we biked to town a few times and also caught the trolley which was just a block away. Would definitely stay here again!

Old school comfort, great location, great owners

This is an older home, circa early 1900s, remodeled just enough to be much better, but not overdone at the loss of its old school character. The location is great. The sun pours in the kitchen in the morning and the living room in the evening, making it very cheery and bright, but the bedrooms are on the north side of the house, so stay cool and dark, all day long. The house was very clean and tidy. The furnishings are comfortable and tasteful. The owners are really good people. The only downside to this home is the single bathroom, but that's all. We would stay here again, in a heartbeat.

Highly Recommended

The owners have done an excellent job creating a truly comfortable space to return to from whatever brings you to Durango. My girlfriend and I came to check out some of the local climbing areas and have some time to ourselves, and I couldn't have imagined a better home base for this kind of trip. I understand that this is a newer rental (although in a charming, historic house), and it's clear that the owners decided to do this one right. We arrived to a warm house (Lisa had made sure the heat was on before we got there), and we were welcomed with a bottle of wine. There were flat screen TV's in the living room and den, comfortable furnishings, plenty of soft blankets, and even books and games. The kitchen has an awesome gas stove and long granite counters and is decked out with everything you need to do some real cooking. There is plenty of room in the long driveway for at least 2 cars, and if you have dogs the backyard will be great for them. Overall, this house would be perfect for any season, and for larger groups as well. I can't wait to come back.

Cute home in a great location

This was our first time to Durango, and only second time to book through Homeaway. The owners were wonderfully accommodating with us as our schedule changed due to inclement weather that delayed our trip. The house is in a great location, close to downtown and only about a 20 minute drive from Purgatory (the ski resort in Durango). There was quite a bit of snow when we got there and we did have some issues getting stuck in the driveway, but once my husband got it shoveled and backed in instead of pulling in we did fine. The house is equipped with everything you need, include two portable heaters for the rooms that got a little chilly. The kitchen was stocked and even included some nice extras like foil and zip lock baggies that came in handy. We had 2 dogs- a westie and labradoodle- with us and both loved the backyard full of snow. There were huge icicles off the roof out the back door, so we chose to walk them around to the backyard for safety reasons. One small issue we had, with it being an older home, is outlets in the bedrooms aren't in terribly convenient locations. We both like to have our phones plugged in overnight next to the bed and were unable to do so. But just a small inconvenience for an otherwise wonderful property! We will be returning to Durango and would love to stay here again.

Just what we needed.

This was a perfect rental for our family coming in for thanksgiving with extended family living in town but wanting to have our own space to retreat to. The beds were comfortable, the shower hot and strong, and the kitchen well stocked for our needs. Location is great, off street parking with a garage to put our bikes in. The house was warm and cozy without being cramped. We will book again when we visit Durango next.

About the host

Hosted by Lisa & Johnny Fort

Host profile image
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.
