About this property

Historic Home on the Animas River - Adjacent to Downtown Durango

City of Durango Permit #17-029

Our 3 bedroom, 3 bathroom home was built in the early 1890s and was one of the first homes built in Durango. The home is on the Animas River and across the street from Fassbinder park and just a 5 minute walk to the heart of historic downtown Durango as well the Animas River Trail.

The historic home features a private stone path to just above the Animas River which crosses the old dirt driveway which was used to park the horse and carriage and access the home.

Updated but retains its historic charm with exposed brick, arch windows and crown molding.

The gourmet kitchen includes professional-grade cooking appliances and is fully stocked with utensils, cookware and dinner ware. Beyond the kitchen, is the den / media room, with large TV, sofa and lounge-y furniture and gas fireplace.

A basement-level utility room includes full-sized washer and dryer, and is large enough for bike, ski and other outdoor gear storage.

In town, the paved Animas River Trail, accessed by a short walk from this home, runs the entire length of town along the river, making for easy commuting to parks, restaurants, a day spa and other downtown destinations, as well providing an excellent fitness and scenery corridor. Guests can walk to the Animas River Trail with a choice of two separate paths; one is just a few doors away on the Main Avenue bridge over the river, and the other is via a suspension footbridge about a block away. .

Bed Configuration:
Master Bedroom - King bed with TV and Ensuite Bath (2nd Floor)
Bedroom 2 - Queen bed, (2nd Floor)
Bedroom 3 - Queen bed, (2nd Floor)

Please note: There are security cameras located on the outside of the front door and laundry room door. Both point out into the yard. There is another in the entry pointing toward the front door. There are no other cameras inside the home.

Stay with us and we offer DISCOUNTS on both summer (white water rafting, horseback riding etc.) and winter (ski/snowboard rentals, sleigh rides, snowmobile tours etc.) activities.

Interesting house, needs some touch ups and maintenance

I think this was a great house and we were comfortable. This house has some repair issues that need to be attended to, a needed explanation of where to turn on entertainment lights, and a maintenance plan on the yard and grounds. (screens for windows, broken blinds, middle bedroom was hot, hanging wires for speakers I think, dark outdoor patio area, yards in pretty bad shape) Overall it was a nice stay and experience but there are many things that need attention.

family trip

The property has great updated bathrooms and kitchen. We loved the location of the property. We walked to the river and the downtown restaurants. The park across the street was great for the kids and grandkids to play on. The record heat wave made our stay uncomfortable but the staff helped in everyway they could. An improvement of an added railing to the steep path down to the river would make it safer for the grandparents to go and enjoy. And since the chairs are close to a significant drop to the river a railing would add safety for the kids. We love Durango and hope to return again soon.

Unique house in Durango

House is older and a little quirky. Great kitchen. Location served us well as it is kind of at the half way point. Not in the hub of things but very convenient to both ends of town. We had deer in the yard each day. That was cool. Some things require deferred maintenance to dress the place up. As you approach to the front door The yard is unkept. The personnel door on the garage is delapidated. There are raised beds for gardening which are all falling apart and no plants giving off a poor vibe. But despite these things, ours was an enjoyable stay. We loved Durango
