Purple Juniper: Heart of Downtown, Sunny Front Deck

With the Purple Juniper as your home base in Durango, you will be able to park your car and walk everywhere in town. Walk four blocks and arrive at the heart of downtown with its restaurants, cafes, shops and the Durango Silverton Narrow Gauge Railroad.

The Purple Juniper is an intimate and inviting half-duplex facing a quiet, sunny neighborhood street. It is cozy with an open floor plan and updated bathroom and kitchen. The kitchen and living room are connected by a granite island with three seats. Additional dining seating in warmer months is a four-seat table on the front deck. The bedrooms have a queen bed in one room and two twins in the second room. All beds are solid, plush and comfortable. A good night's sleep is key! Evaporative cooling in the Summer additionally provides for restful nights.

In addition to Main Avenue and downtown, walk several blocks to the Nature Trail and Sky Steps. The neighborhood is pedestrian and dog-friendly, and the block on which the Purple Juniper resides is especially quiet and peaceful.

Guests are welcome to bring two pups, provided they stay off of furniture and aren't big barkers. No cats (sorry). Note that immediately after booking, you will receive a brief rental agreement to review and sign with basic items such as no parties or events and pet authorization if applicable.

Two things to consider in deciding whether this home is ideal for your family. First, it is a cozy space with 650 SF total. Second, the Purple Juniper does not have a yard. The other half of the duplex, which is a monthly rental, has a yard, but it is dedicated to that other other half. Likewise, the Purple Juniper has dedicated use of the front deck. This allows for privacy and ease for each of the homes. It means as well, however, that staying at the Purple Juniper with pups involves taking them out for walks, not an unpleasant task in the pedestrian-friendly neighborhood, but worth considering.

Perfect location

We really enjoyed our stay at the Purple Juniper home. It really is just a short walk or bike away from most things to do in Durango. We had easy access to all the local shopping and restaurants. The Durango to Silverton Narrow gauge train was also a short distance away. The property was as advertised: having all your vacation needs and spacious enough for 3 adults to spend most of a week here without stepping on each other's toes. The property manager, Victoria, was super friendly and helpful with all of my questions before and during my stay.

We absolutely loved our stay at Purple Juniper! The location was perfect. We walked to hiking trails, biking trails, restaurants, coffee shops and breweries. The space and accommodation was more than expected. Very pet friendly. Our dog refused to leave. She kept running back inside and laying down on the dog bed that was provided. We look forward to staying again. Thank you Victoria for the great experience! Kelly

Purple Juniper- A Cozy Stay

Purple Juniper was simply lovely, a cozy 2 BR, 1 Bath home located on a quiet street in downtown Durango and easily walkable to all of Main Street's attractions, including the train station. It was a perfect base for "Grandma Camp" activities with our 7 year- old grandson, which included a ride on the historic train.The front deck was perfect seating for two home-cooked dinners while basking in the late April sunshine. The kitchen is extremely well equipped, our Hostess was friendly and responsive, and the contactless check-in process could not have been easier. We will definitely return here on oir next trip to Durango.

This was a very comfortable and cozy place had everything you can imagine. The Kitchen was perfect and was lacking nothing. The only thing I would change is the TV was Very Small maybe 36" pretty hard to Watch a Movie. Other than that I would stay there again anytime.
