Downtown Durango is at your fingertips when you book this lovely two-bedroom vacation rental. Just one block from the Animas River, this home-away-from-home boasts all of the standard comforts, including a private washer/dryer, free wireless internet, and a wood-burning fireplace.

The Durango Public Library is a few minutes' walk away, next to a bike path that hugs the banks of the Animas River. Downtown Durango is a little more than a mile away via the bike path, or half a mile by car. Purgatory Resort is 26 miles away, and Mesa Verde National Park is 36 miles west.

Situated on one of Durango's quiet residential streets, this cozy home is the perfect no-frills retreat for a small family or two couples who want easy access to the city's attractions. Bright and airy with modern decor, this home has everything you need for a successful vacation.

The home features a spacious living room with a large sectional sofa, which faces the wood-burning fireplace and the wall-mounted flatscreen TV. On cold evenings, what could be better than luxuriating in the warmth of a fire?

If you feel like cooking, the fully equipped galley-style kitchen is ready for everything from a leisurely brunch to a quick pre-adventure snack. There's even a dishwasher for easy cleanup. A dining room table seats five.

Up to four guests are welcome to stay at this two-bedroom, one-bathroom home. Each bedroom features a queen-size bed. One of the bedrooms overlooks the fenced backyard.

Whatever you're interested in, Durango has something to offer you. Hop on your bike and head downtown, enjoying scenic views of the Animas River as you coast along the path. Stroll along the city streets, perusing museums, art galleries, and shops, before stopping for a bite to eat or a beer from one of the local breweries.

During the winter, head north to Purgatory Resort for skiing, snowboarding, dog sledding, sleigh rides, and snowshoe tours. In summer, go for a hike in Mesa Verde National Park and explore the Ancestral Puebloan cliff dwellings, then cool off with a rafting trip down the Animas River.

However you choose to spend your time in Southwest Colorado, you're guaranteed to have an unforgettable trip. Don't miss out on this convenient Durango vacation rental!

We were here on business. So much nicer and easier to have a little home away from home without staying in a hotel.

Great vacation rental
Great vacation rental, lots of needed items provided, but couldn't find a toaster. Great central location. Small amount of parking, seems to be the case in all Durango neighborhoods.

Disliked: Cleanliness
would not recommend
Needs deep cleaning, sanitization, and air purifier, inadequate lighting, lacked basic cleaning items (vinegar and baking soda would do) The cleaning spray bottle was empty. The bed in 2nd bedroom is poor; front door needs a lock on the inside, the device to open front door is sketchy / tempramental . The pillows were old and malodorous, the sheets were clean but the duvet and shams were soiled. One smelled of perfume and most others were quite smelly and stained. We arrived at night on a very dark street and there was no exterior light available for us. We were not expecting a mansion but cleanliness and safety are essential. Would not recommend. the

Nice property
Stayed here with my husband and two boys ages 6 and 8. Very nice yard for play. We brought bikes and the street was quiet and safe enough to ride around. The house was clean and comfortable. Location was convenient for a quick drive downtown. We were happy with our stay.

great location, could be much better with a little work
We loved the location near the river path and downtown. There were a few small issues: internet router/connection was different than what was on the welcome email. We were really looking forward to the treehouse but the entrance has been taken down, the property doesnt reflect the pictures listed. Some of the dishes were dirty in the cabinets, the faucet was loose and dripped. Minor stuff but easy to fix, especially for the cost of the rental. Note: there is no cable or TV service, we bought a cheap roku.

Clean, comfortable stay minutes from the river walk
The house was sparkling clean when we arrived with nice cool temps for us to come in after a hot day of traveling. Simple home, but very clean and comfortable. Saw a deer run by while drinking coffee outside in the morning. Will definitely return!

Durango library house
Have stayed here before and enjoyed it as before. Some minor issues that could be addressed, need an extra light in living to read by. I actually moved a light from bedroom which was less than ideal. Hinges on gate access to back yard are about to go. Taking trash cans through that gate proved to be tricky.

Durango weekend
We were concerned when lock box was hard to open. After several minutes, my husband was able to retrieve the key. When we opened the door, the carpet was very dirty. Not a very good first impression! Other than these two issues, the property was fine. Kitchen, bathroom and bedrooms were clean.

Great location
Great location. Awesome front porch! Loved walking to Animas River and enjoyed walking to coffee shop at the library. Well equipped. The lighting in living room is very poor and needs improvement. The lights also flicker. There are significant stains on carpet
