Downtown Durango-New Custom Timber Frame-the Carriage House

The Carriage House is a beautiful custom home located in a bustling part of historic downtown Durango. The house was completed in 2011 and was built to the highest standard of quality, with warm timber frame accents, radiant-heat floors, and stained concrete counters and sinks. This house is a legal and permitted vacation rental so there will be no troubles with your stay (project #19-030, permit #19-030).
We own another house downtown: the Durango Hideout that sleeps 10 in 4 bedrooms (vrbo# 1150651).
The Carriage house has 3 bedrooms, which are all located upstairs. The master has its own spacious bathroom and a king bed. A second bedroom has a queen bed. Then there is a third bedroom that has a queen along with a twin in a loft of this room. The entire second floor has gorgeous vaulted timber ceilings. Downstairs, there is a full bathroom, a great room, and the kitchen, which has bar seating, stainless steel appliances, and concrete counter tops. Outside, there is a front porch and a back patio, which is equipped with a grill and seating. Inside, the on-demand hot water system ensure you will always have plenty of hot water. The house is now equipped AC. We put individual units in the bedrooms and one in the living space so it will be plenty cool.

This is the perfect spot to enjoy the Durango lifestyle, as you are in a busy neighborhood within minutes of restaurants, shops, the bike path, the Animas River, and city parks. Sit on the front porch and watch the Durango-Silverton Narrow Gauge Train rumble right by the house, or take a stroll on the river path that’s just a minute away.

Perfect Spot in Durango!

What an amazing place in a great location in town. The house is stocked with everything we needed, including stuff for the kids! We especially liked being a few steps away from the DSNGRR tracks to see the train in the mornings and evenings, plus the walking path by the river.

Perfect location

This property was very clean, had everything we needed for a comfortable stay, plenty of room for our family of 6 and was the perfect location for our stay in Durango. The access to the river walk was fantastic and the proximity to the train could not have been any better. We loved this property and would definitely stay again.

Durango Getaway

The Carriage House was a great location for us..easy access to restaurants and downtown shopping, as well as a trip to Purgatory and up to visit the campus at Ft. Lewis. The house was well equipped and the beds were comfortable. We really enjoyed our stay. We were fortunate to get to see fall foliage in full splendor.

Comfortable & Unique Downtown Home

Quiet and spacious home within walking distance of Main Street restaurants and attractions. Kitchen is well equipped for making your own meals. Bedrooms are comfortable — we slept very well for the entire week. Easy, assigned parking for 2 cars. Andrew is an attentive host. I’ll certainly check availability here first for my next Durango trip. Thank you Andrew! Our stay in your beautiful home was a pleasure!

Durango stay October 2024

Very nice comfortable house located just one block from the walking/bike trail along the Animas river. Walking distance to several restaurants. Well stocked kitchen and comfortable seating areas. Communication and checkin were seamless. No problems at all. No complaints other than it sits on a corner that does have some traffic, despite that, would stay again if ever in Durango. Highly recommend

Amazing Stay and Property

We have been to Durango multiple times. It's one of our favorite Colorado towns. This rental property was amazing! It had the perfect amount of space for our family. Each kid had their own room and space. The woodwork and details put into the home really added an extra touch. The host had pretty much anything you could need available at the home. The location of the house was perfect, as it was in close walking distance to downtown, and a short drive to anywhere we needed to go in town. We will definitely stay here again on our next trip to Durango.

Great location and beautiful house

Pros: The location is fantastic, an easy walk to downtown. The beds were all very comfortable, particularly the one in the Master bedroom. Amenities were great, with Netflix and anything you might need in the house. The pictures don’t do it justice. It’s a beautiful house! There are three bedrooms (one king and two queens), with one bedroom also having a loft with a twin bed. We didn’t use the loft so not sure about that bed. Cons: The train passes quite close with the earliest train departing at 9am and the last one returning at 9pm. It’s not too bad and could be fun for kids, but not ideal if you plan to sleep in. The lights in the Master bathroom flickered, but this probably easily fixable. Overall, definitely recommend it!
