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!

An exceptionally clean and well-kept property. The kitchen had everything we needed and the living area was a great place to relax after adventures around town. We enjoyed being very close to the Animas riverwalk and were able to walk across the pedestrian bridge at Rotary Park to easily access the Durango Trout Hatchery and Durango Public Library & Botanic Gardens. This would be an ideal property for anyone keen on using bikes to access the Animas River Trail. The loft bed was a favorite for our kids and they also enjoyed being able to step out on the front porch to see the steam train leaving for and returning from Silverton.

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.

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!

Perfect Spot in Durango!

What an amazing place in a great location in town. The house is stocked with everything we needed, including stuff for the kids! We especially liked being a few steps away from the DSNGRR tracks to see the train in the mornings and evenings, plus the walking path by the river.

Durango Getaway

The Carriage House was a great location for us..easy access to restaurants and downtown shopping, as well as a trip to Purgatory and up to visit the campus at Ft. Lewis. The house was well equipped and the beds were comfortable. We really enjoyed our stay. We were fortunate to get to see fall foliage in full splendor.

Wonderful Durango Stay

This property was perfect. Extremely clean, well stocked with towels and extra pillows and blankets. Location couldn’t be better. Beautiful front porch next to lilac bush allowed for early morning coffee with some deer walking by. Host was very accommodating and very easy to talk with. Can’t recommend this rental high enough!!
