Great location in a nice neighborhood. Close enough to walk to downtown and the river trail but very quiet and peaceful. Very nicely maintained and decorated. Birdie the dog was an added bonus and was so sweet. Hosts were super friendly and would definitely stay here again.

Very quiet lodging in Durango for Durango Silverton train excursion and visit to Mesa Verde National Park. Plenty of room in loft for two people. Appreciate the ability to do laundry in house as we are on a multi week road trip. Host offered assistance upon arrival but loft was stocked well so no assistance was needed. Online listing is accurate. We would happily stay again if ever we revisited the area.

I’m so glad we found this little hidden gem. Not only was the host family welcoming, they took the extra care to make sure we had everything we could need. The house and amenities were just like I was at my home in Houston. My pups were very welcomed and accommodated. I will definitely return to this wonderful home.
What an added treat on our vacation.

About the host

Hosted by Joe Delling

Host profile image
Both of us attended here at Ft Lewis College and while we have both lived other places neither of us had ever found a place quite like Durango. We have both now Lived in town for more than 25 years. Yona is a nurse at the local hospital and Joe is a fly fishing guide and carpenter. We consider ourselves fortunate to be able to live and raise a family in such a unique location.

Why they chose this property

Ours is one of the few Victorian homes in the neighborhood built in the late 1800s. It required a lot of fixing up but the location and historical nature of the house was just too much for us to pass up. We finished construction on the Carriage house in early 2014 in hopes people would spend their vacations here and also as place for friends and family to stay when they visit.

What makes this property unique

One benefit of the properties location is that it butts to a forested hillside, this means we have no alley or neighbors behind us. The deck of the Carriage house faces this hill and its common to see deer and other wildlife pass through. I think it offers a privacy and feel that's hard to find in a location this close to Main Avenue. Also we have central air conditioning rather than window units to maximize comfort for our guests.
