About this property
Charming retreat close to downtown, hiking, lakes, 3 acre and private
Charming 1,800 sqft home, offering 3-bedrooms, huge bonus room, sleeps 10, 2 bath remodeled home situated on 3 acres offers privacy and seclusion while providing ideal all-season access to the area's top attractions. Bring the pups, fenced back yard, loads of parking for large vehicles and toys, beautiful views, and no neighbors insight. Located a mere 12-minute drive to Historic Downtown Durango, 8 minutes to Walmart, 10 minutes to La Plata County Airport, 5 minutes to Mercy, near Vallecito & Lemon reservoirs, minutes to BLM for hiking, easy commute to Purgatory. Experience Colorado-life at it's fullest in our home, which features multiple outdoor living spaces, unmatched views of the vistas with plenty of beautiful trees, and easy access to miles of surrounding trail networks and public lands. Our home features a spacious kitchen with bar top space, stainless steel appliances, hardwood floors throughout, outdoor gas grill, two living spaces, sleep under the stars in the country yet close to in-town conveniences. This home offers the peace and privacy of a 3-acre ranch and farmhouse, but is so close to town you won’t miss out of any of Durango’s attractions or restaurants. Experience all that Durango has to offer, then retreat back to your own private oasis. There is plenty of parking in the driveway/garage for vehicles and trailers. Three TVs, living room, primary bedroom, and bunk room. BBQ Grill, outdoor fire pit (fire restrictions may be in place), two patios, seasonal creek to listen to the sound of water while you sleep. Traveling with others that have an RV? Ask about the RV hookup for additional guests. Welcome to The Red House Durango.

Great stay in a wonderful and very well outfitted house beautifully located in the country but still very convenient to Durango. Excellent value for our family of 6 with outstanding amenities and accommodations.
We had the best time staying here! It comfortably fit 10 adults (and we had a great time sharing the “kids” room, offered plenty of room for gathering together, and overall was a great home base for a long weekend :)
We truly enjoyed our stay at the Red House. Had everything we needed. The fenced yard was perfect for our little old blind dog. This would be a great house for those with kids. Had a great playroom area upstairs. Would definitely stay here again!
We stayed at The Red House for a week and throughly enjoyed all the amenities. Close to Durango, fishing locations & drove out to Mesa Verde too. So much to experience in just a short drive. Enjoyed having privacy of a more rural location too.
The Red House was a perfect place for friends to gather for our Friendsgiving celebration.
The house comfortably accommodated the 6 adults and two dogs. The house was clean, well equipped and comfortable.
We would definitely stay here again!
Very nice location for our group. Had a couple of nice dinners using the grill, but it was a little chilly to eat outside.
Trip was too short as there are so many things to do and see in SW Colorado.
we spent 4 nights at Red House Durango and loved it! The house was roomy, well equipped and located nicely outside Durango. Easy to explore Durango, Animas River and Mesa Verde National Park. There is an irrigation river near the house so we were lulled to sleep by the babbling water!
My family and i came over for a destination wedding. This home was a great place to relax, and enjoy peace and quiet. Wish we could have stayed longer to enjoy the charming little towns more. The most wonderful part for my hisband and I was hearing the stream run as we laid down to sleep.
This is why of our favorite home we stayed, we sold our home and are traveling so we have seen many. Secluded enough but quick drive to Durango roughly 15 min depending on traffic.
Fenced in yard, big bonus. Nice big room upstairs for the kids to enjoy. Highly recommended!
The Red House was perfect for our week in Durango. We were joined by friends later in the week, and the guys took part in the Iron Horse bike ride while the girls shopped and visited a coffee shop downtown. This is our 5th year to come to Durango for the bike ride, and this has been our favorite place to stay. It’s far enough out to feel private (we’ve stayed in a condo too), but easy to access. The house has enough space for two couples or two families to have their own areas, and also has a pleasant kitchen and living room for time together. Lauren was quick to answer questions as well. We will definitely look to stay at the Red House again.
Great place to spend a week exploring Durango and all the attractions. We have two dogs that are used to having a fenced in backyard and this place was perfect. The dogs could spend time outside without having to be on a long leash/lead. Side road was not too far away, so it was great for morning walks... though there are some neighbors with dogs so earlier in the morning the better.
Overall house was great, exactly what was advertised and perfect. No issues with anything. Would definitely stay again and again.
Ok property, kinda close to the 234 county road, thought it would set back further from the road. Heating system was loud , main floor was cold while second floor hot. Beds were comfortable while main and upstairs living areas could use additional seating. Kitchen was good some stove burns on the right didn’t work, refrigerator was excellent , Could use a set pots but rest of dishes were great.
From beginning to end, we thoroughly enjoyed our stay at the red house! The interior is so cozy, happy and inviting💕 The decor is farmhouse (my favorite) and I loved all the happy animal paintings throughout the home! The house was well stocked with everything you may need!
And the back yard was a great place to kick back and enjoy a glass of wine while you greet the turkeys during their evening stroll. The location is great- close to all, but far enough to feel secluded and peaceful. Durango is an amazing town with so much to do! We spent a week and it still was nowhere near enough time!
Thank you for the use of your beautiful home! If you ever get the urge to decorate, come to my house!😊
Lauren was an excellent host. She made sure we had everything we needed during our stay. The home was cozy and just far enough away from the hustle of downtown. We got to see deer outside almost every day that we stayed. Definitely recommend staying here for anyone looking.
Had a wonderful stay! Great house, comfortable beds. Bear activity at the trash. Downstairs toilet had to be plunged multiple times. That is truly the only negative. Would stay I. This house again and again!
My family was so impressed by the Red House, they'd like to stay here every time we visit Durango. It's a very cozy home, and so much room to hang out inside or out!
We spent several days at the Red House in Durango and it was a hit with everyone! The house is clean and charming. The kitchen is well stocks and the beds are comfortable. The two little kids loved the outdoor space and the kids area upstairs. Thanks for the great stay!
We enjoyed our stay in Durango at the Red House. We travel once a year as siblings to different locations for reunion and enjoyed every thing about this trip.
We had a fantastic stay at this home! It met all our expectations and more. The home was super clean and well stocked. The beds were super comfortable and kitchen was awesome. The outdoor space was beautiful and relaxing. We could not recommend this place enough!! It’s the perfect getaway when visiting Colorado! Lastly, the owner is fantastic at quick communication and answering any questions we had. Thank you!!
