About this property

Monthly, rental, Heart of Old Town, Walk to Everything, Work Space, BBQ, Patio

The Julia Rose West is a month to month fully furnished rental and is the west side of a duplex of an historic home in Old Town Durango. We have a city permitted short term rental on the East side of this duplex. We can send you the listing if you would like to see that as an option.
You will be walking into a spotlessly cleaned and disinfected space at your check-in.
There are handrails at the front and back entrances.
The Julia Rose is named after our middle daughter and the beautiful Pink Rose bushes in the front and backyard. Built in 1898, this historic Victorian home has recently been updated with contemporary elements and has a nice blend of old with the new. There is a remodeled kitchen and bath and newly finished wood flooring, paint, window coverings, furnishings and appliances including a washer/dryer and very quiet dishwasher.
The Living Room is the largest area in the home and has a Queen Murphy Bed, a sofa, side chair and a separate desk area. There is a wall mounted mini split for A/C and a furnace for heat in colder months.

The Kitchen has a granite counter with a counter height table that seats three. The kitchen is fully furnished so you can create anything from a gourmet dinner to a smoothie.

The bedroom adjoins the bathroom and is very small but cozy and comfortable with a Queen plush mattress and designer bedding and duvet cover, and a closet and dresser.
The Bathroom is also very small and is tiled with a shower/tub so you can soak and relax after a long day out. The view from the tub is like being in a 'secret garden'. There is a window unit A/C for hotter months.

PLEASE NOTE: The bathroom is very small and guests have to walk into the bedroom to get to the bathroom. It may not be a good fit for people who have difficulties in tight spaces.

The short term rental on the East side of the property have dedicated use of the front porch. The Julia Rose West has her own back patio with a propane grill access and outdoor furniture to relax in privacy and comfort. The entrances are separate. There is extra sound insulation between the two units. We are a strict non smoking building.

There is space for one car in the parking lot with a back and front door entrance if you prefer to park in the street. The flat screen TV we provide cable internet with the highest speeds available via Spectrum Cable with TV via Amazon Firestick. This house is in the prime downtown location in a quiet historic neighborhood off of the busy Third Avenue. Main Street is three blocks away and you will be right in the center of all of the fabulous restaurants and downtown coffee shops and shopping.
Upon arrival, you will enter the house with a coded lock and grab the key for the back door, The front door is closer to unpacking and unloading and the back door is closer to the off the street parking.
You can settle in by having a cool drink on the back patio or walking a few blocks to Main Avenue to relax at one of the coffee shops or brewpubs.
Please note this is a non-smoking unit, which includes marijuana smoking. We are very strict with our non-smoking policy.
We do allow dogs with pre-approval on a case by case basis.

Great property and great location
We spent a month and couldn't have asked for a better location. The neighborhood is beautiful and conveniently located within walking distance to restaurants, grocery stores - all forms of shopping. The unit was tidy and clean with all the amenities you could ask for. Additionally it was great to have on property parking. I would highly recommend.

Perfect place for home base for 3 weeks
Sarah’s place was perfect for my husband and I who were working remote while exploring Durango! You can beat the location and the house has everything we needed for our extended stay. Karen took care of the house and was wonderful to work with. Would definitely stay here again for a short or long term stay. Thanks, Sarah!

About the host

Hosted by Sarah Sumner

Host profile image
I moved to Durango when I was 19 (1978!) and never left. My children were born and raised here and I am so grateful to call Durango my home. I own Fusion Interiors, a full service interior design business. I get out as much as possible to hike, bike, ski, run rivers and roam in the desert. I can answer all of your questions about great trails and places to be in this lovely area.

Why they chose this property

We love this property because of its location in old town Durango and its proximity to everything Durango Downtown. Even though it is downtown the street is surprisingly quiet and full of friendly neighbors. We love the charm that a well cared for older property can bring. We have a brand new heating system and AC in the window.

What makes this property unique

Location, location, location! We love the newly remodeled Kitchen with Dishwasher and stacking washer dryer, wood floors, the Rainbow Travertine Kitchen counter, the private backyard relaxing area with vintage rose bushes that bloom pink and the fenced in back patio. Our large Living Room has a desk in the window nook for a GREAT remote work space! We just purchased organic cotton bed linens for your comfort.
