Charming Home with Fireplace & Private Washer/Dryer, Close to River & Bike Path
Enjoy an easygoing Durango getaway from this cozy two-bedroom home, ideally located on a quiet residential street just one block from the Animas River. With the river, bike path, and Durango Public Library nearby and downtown just a short drive or bike ride away, this home offers a convenient base for exploring everything Durango and Southwest Colorado have to offer.
Bright and inviting, the home features modern decor and a comfortable living room with a large sectional sofa, gas log fireplace, and flatscreen TV. After a day of exploring, settle in by the fire or relax with your favorite show. The dining area seats up to six, providing plenty of room to gather for a meal or plan the next day's adventure.
The fully equipped galley-style kitchen has everything you need to prepare breakfast before heading out, pack a quick lunch, or enjoy dinner at home. A dishwasher makes cleanup easy, while the private washer and dryer add convenience for longer stays.
The home comfortably sleeps up to four guests across two bedrooms, each furnished with a queen-size bed. Both bedrooms overlook the fenced backyard and offer direct access to the rear deck, providing a peaceful place to step outside and enjoy some fresh air. With two full bathrooms, the layout is especially convenient for families or two couples traveling together.
Step outside and you're just moments from the Animas River and the bike path that follows its scenic banks. Ride or walk along the river toward downtown, or take a short drive into the heart of Durango to explore local shops, restaurants, galleries, museums, and breweries. The Durango Public Library is also within easy walking distance.
Outdoor adventures are close at hand year-round. During the winter, head north to Purgatory Resort for skiing, snowboarding, dog sledding, sleigh rides, and snowshoeing. In warmer months, explore Mesa Verde National Park, hike the surrounding trails, or enjoy rafting and other activities along the Animas River.
Whether you're looking to explore downtown Durango, spend time outdoors, or simply enjoy a comfortable home in a convenient location, this two-bedroom retreat makes it easy to experience the best of Southwest Colorado.

Cute historic home
This is a cute historic home in a quiet neighborhood. It’s spacious, clean and cozy. The location is convenient to many locations. We enjoyed the board games and slept well in the comfortable bed.
Very nice small rental. Close to town, so able to walk to downtown area. House was nice , but nothing in back yard. A grill or seating might be nice. Overall, enjoyed it very much!
Nice kitchen equipped with everything we needed for several day stay. Comfortable beds. Close to river trail a block away and couple minutes' drive to grocery store and downtown. Perfect for us driving to Mesa Verde NP, Telluride, Silverton, Ouray. Montrose.
Had a great time. Could walk to town and the river trail. Clean and supplied well.
The deer visited the area every day.
It was perfect for me and my bestie to have a great time in Durango.
Only comments that need changing would be dining room lights were too dim and door lock was a little finicky

This was a cute little house and we really enjoyed our time.
The house was easy to find, in a nice little neighborhood and seemed like a safe location. There was plenty of space for the two of us and would also be great when we bring our kids next time.
The rooms were nice and plenty of space for your bags to unpack. The kitchen had lots of dishes and stocked with a lot of items you might need.
We drove to the downtown area and then walked around. But we easily could have walked from the house if we wanted.

3 weeks in Durango, Co
My 2 pre-teen sons and I stayed for 3 weeks while they attended a camp and I worked telehealth from the house. It was perfect for us and I was sad to leave. The house was great for accessing both downtown and the mountains. We rode our bikes on the river trail many evenings to the skate park, brewery and downtown. Sitting on the front porch in the evenings was perfect with a glass of wine. The wide street has lots of charm. The view from the couch was pretty with the moon, trees and sunsets seen through the large window. The beds were comfy. We loved it and hope to stay again next summer. Thanks!!
Great home base for Durango/SW Colorado adventures!
Was looking for a Durango location on a budget and found the Library House. I was a little concerned initially because it seemed too good price-wise to be true! But my brother is in the area and checked it out and said it was quiet neighborhood by the library so we booked it. It worked out perfectly for our needs 2 adults, 2 teenagers with an busy agenda of outdoor activities around the area. We did not end up using much of the food prep/kitchen stuff provided because we ate out, but it seemed to have everything you could want. Beds, pillows, etc were all comfy. Son ended up sleeping on the couch he liked it so much. Older house, so wooden floors in bedroom were squeaky during midnight bathroom trips, but otherwise fine. One bathroom with 4 people was a bit challenging, but not a big deal. We had great weather - might have gotten a bit of cabin fever if we were stuck inside all day for multiple days but it was cozy for our needs. My husband went out early each morning to walk on the river trail and enjoy the botanical gardens by the library. Close drive to grocery store and restaurants, as well as downtown Durango. House looks like it needs some attention on the outside, but like I said, was perfect for our vacation.
We were here on business. So much nicer and easier to have a little home away from home without staying in a hotel.

Comfy & Cozy
We thoroughly enjoyed our stay! Plenty of room for the 4 of us with everything we needed stocked. The only thing that we were bummed about was that we couldn’t get the fireplace to open, so we were unable to use it. Not sure if it was. locked or jammed, but it would have been nice to have a fire as it snowed our first night there. Besides that, we loved everything! It was so close to downtown and easily walkable to several places. Would stay here again!
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, 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.

Miserable
NO AIR! The house was 82 degrees at 9pm. We decided to leave 8 hours after our arrival. The property manager was extremely hard to get in touch with. Several emails from myself and the Vacasa team were sent. I finally heard from him four days later. Poor customer service! The house also had cleanliness issues, blood stained pillow, coffee pot that had mold on the inside and a moldy shower curtain. I was assured all those issues were taking care of. The managers response to no air was open the windows and let the air circulate. I did receive the refund I requested (I’m appreciative), the house was cute and in a good location. It’s 2018 put in a cooling unit! If not specify there’s NO COOLING UNIT.
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.

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.

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.
