About this property

Urban Homestead ~ House Downtown Durango *Sanitized & High Speed Wi-Fi*

2 Beds, 1 Bath, Sleeps 4

City of Durango: This is an Executive Rental and will be rented monthly, with the exception of when friends and family stay. There will only be one rental per 30 day period.

Just a note on the current Covid 19 situation; We *Sanitize* our vacation rentals according to the CDC guidelines with safe practices like: Masks, Gloves, Bleach, washing on Hot, and a whole lot of obsessive cleaning! Our places are very safe to stay and enjoy without worry. Durango is currently partially open with masks required in all public spaces. Restaurants are open with social distancing in place.

Located in the heart of Historic Downtown Durango, Urban Homestead is situated on a huge garden lot. Almost .2 acres in Historic Downtown Durango and only 5 Blocks to walk to Downtown Main Avenue. This is truly like a little farm in Downtown Durango.

My mother, a master gardener, had a vision of transforming this adorable bungalow style house, and already fruitful yard, into an Urban Homestead. This property especially lends itself to families with children and family pets because of the huge yard and garden. Come have a "whole vacation" in Durango from the comfort of a home at the Urban Homestead!

The House: This 1200 SF house has 2 bedrooms, and one full bath. The house sleeps 4; there is a queen bed in the master bedroom, and two twin beds in the upstairs bedroom. Tempurpedic style mattresses are new, and super comfortable, complete with beautiful linens. The tile bathroom has a bathtub/ shower and has everything you need; towels, shampoo, hair dryer... etc. There is a small office, an old roll top desk stocked with writing supplies and plug in for your lap top computer. The upstairs dormer we turned into a play area for kids complete with dress up clothes, books, games, and a beanbag. The kitchen is recently remodeled with maple cabinets and a Bosch dishwasher, water filter, and large refrigerator with icemaker. The cook will appreciate the complete kitchen equipped with everything you need to make a gourmet meal; from the good pans and quality knives to cloth napkins, blender, etc. The round dinning room table seats four, but the best place to eat is outside in the back yard…

The Yard: Sit in the shade of the four mature apricot trees surrounding the back yard. Teak outdoor dining furniture and a gas BBQ make this a yard you will want to spend the afternoons reading, cooking, playing and dinning in. The yard in completely surrounded by privacy fencing & walls and is very quiet and private. There is a vegetable garden complete with strawberry patch, fruit trees, and flowerbeds. The yard is safe for a dog but we do ask you do not let your dog dig up any of the plants. A large & shady dog kennel is available for your k9 use.

The Location: Urban Homestead is only 10 minutes walk from the Train Station, Durango Natural Foods Co-op (my favorite grocery!), Telegraph / Horse Gulch trailhead, and Main Avenue downtown Durango. One quarter block away is a branch of the River Trail leading to Santa Rita Park and the whole river trail; perfect for easy walks and riding your bike all through town. You can easily walk to any of the local downtown restaurants for dinner. The neighborhood on 1st street is very quiet. Being the last street in town it gets hardly any traffic and is generally quiet at night. So go ahead and walk downtown in your pajamas for coffee!

Come stay at our Urban Oasis and pamper yourself while you enjoy Downtown Durango from the comfort of a Home!

All the best,

A Month in paradise away from the Texas heat!
Holly and Ben took great care of us! The house was exceptionally furnished for our extended stay! It has chef quality Kitchen furnishings which we appreciated greatly. Complete with a dog door to a huge back yard for Harry our mini-Aussie! Our guests enjoyed the guest room and we had a great time exploring the fantastic town of Durango and several nearby attractions. Wild Horse is all we expected and more!

Great location, cute quirky house
Pictures were definitely outdated. The house had some nice updates since the pictures. We love sitting outdoors that didn't happen since the yard is not maintained. Perfect location.

Winter vacation
This was our second time staying in a year. We booked last Jan-March and again this December-Jan. We love the location (walk to downtown and the Animas River), the yard (great for our old poodles), the sunroom, the comfy bed, just about everything. Our child loves the privacy of the loft. The mudroom is also great for ski equipment. It’s a super quiet neighborhood as well but right in town. We cannot wait to return. Holly is excellent at saying in touch, offering helpful town suggestions, etc. We couldn’t recommend this home more highly for a small family trip.

Great location, comfortable house
Enjoyed our stay, Holly was a gracious and accommodating host. She checked in regularly to see if we needed supplies. The yard was secure and perfect for our dog and for doing social distant hang outs. Loved waking up to coffee in the sun room next to the fireplace then heading out for a quick hike in Horse Gulch only a 10 min walk from the house. Already planning our next visit. Highly recommend for a couple with a pet!

About the host

Hosted by Holly Jason

Host profile image
We have been renting vacation homes for over 15 years. It suites my personality well as I am one that always wants to make people feel at home. I love spoiling our guests!

Why they chose this property

This property is right next to our Wild Horse Guesthouse and is perfectly suited to monthly stays in a beautifully furnished bungalow house in Downtown Durango. The south part of town has always been my favorite because of the culture, churches, and being so close to downtown. The amazingly beautiful and huge yard was just irresistible.

What makes this property unique

Close to shopping, trails, restaurants, fly fishing, hiking, churches... And such a comfortable and private little house. This house especially lends itself to families and pets because of the big yard.
