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.
Also to note. The Saint Francis House is in the heart of Durango. There are restaurants and shops and trails! You can walk to everything. There is also a Tavern across the street, the patrons have lots of fun and it can be LOUD so if you are sensitive to noise you may want to book another place farther out of town. Thank you for your consideration.

Location makes for easy walks to downtown or local shops and restaurants. Very clean and nicely appointed and comfortable. Tavern across the street can be noisy and road in front is busy, but with doors/windows shut you hardly notice.

My daughter and our two dogs came to Durango to visit my son for his birthday. This property was a perfect location within the grid and down to he street from my sons apartment. Very clean house fully stocked with all the necessities and super cute. The host Holly, was very accessible and accommodating. We would be happy to stay here again on our next trip to Durango.

The Saint Francis House in Durango is in a great location; an easy walk into downtown, with a number of dining options on the way. The house came complete with everything needed for our 3-night stay. After skiing at Purgatory (20 minutes away) we returned to the house to relax with a glass of wine with cheese & crackers. All procured from the grocery across the street. Really a perfect location in Durango with great hosts, who left a bottle of champagne on New Year’s Eve. 😀

It was far better than I expected. I knew it was going to be great, but it far exceeded all of our expectations . I will be telling everyone who will listen about the St. Francis House. I will definitely be using this service again. I hope my next adventure will be in a property like the St. Francis House. Holly and Ben ,” You guys ROCK!”

Great 2 bedroom casa! Clean, well equipped to cook in the kitchen or grilling out. 8 blocks from downtown Durango. We take advantage of that 80% of the time since it beats having to drive and find parking. It's just the perfect VRBO located in Durango! Owners are very responsive if you should have any question or needs.

The place is great however it's on a busy, noisy street with a patio bar directly across the street which was very loud a couple nights.

This is in a great spot for exploring Durango - Well equipped kitchen and very responsive host.
Thanks again!

We arrived in heavy snow, but heating had been turned on, and we immediately felt at home. Parking right outside; wholefood grocery and liquor store opposite, so settled in easily.
The kitchen is very well equipped, and the bed firm and comfortable. There is a very efficient gas heater, but an electric fan heater is also provided.
The cottage is very close to downtown Durango, and Durango is a great hub for all sorts of outdoor activities and scenic drives.
We loved our stay and would wholeheartedly recommend it to any couple.

What a beautiful house in a perfect location. Holly and Ben are the perfect host. They really pay attention to the small details. Everything we needed was available. Comfortable beds to a coffee grinder for a fresh cup of coffee. The check I. Was streamless. We will be back!

The house was as described. Very clean. Small place but had everything we needed for a week of stay. The driveway can be tricky to turn around especially in winter and with a big car. The owners were nice and shoveled the snow. The washer and the drier are shared with the renters of the back room. Overall, it is a nice place. We would stay there again.

I have stayed at this host’s properties a few times now. The properties are charming, clean, and comfortable. Holly is a kind host who cares about her guest’s experience. Her rentals are my go to places to stay when visiting Durango.
4.6
This was an incredible stay. Holly was attentive and helpful; the cabin was wonderful and cozy.
4.6
We spent a week at the house. It was very clean and comfortable. The kitchen was well supplied with cookware although a little short on plates. So we used paper plates. Initially I was concerned that the only source of heat was in the living room. But this was a non issue and we did not experience any cool temperatures. We will be returning to this house.

I highly recommend this cute house. It is on a busy street but the noise was not bad at all. The beds are super comfortable and such cute decor. The owners were very responsive with a few questions I had. It is very close to downtown and super easy to get around whether it be via uber or your own car.

My husband and I enjoyed staying at this charming, clean property. It's just a short walk to downtown. Durango Joe's coffee, a health food market, and a great breakfast cafe are within one block of the property. Parking can be tricky when close to downtown Durango. This property offers private off street parking that accommodated our truck with no problem. Unloading and reloading our cargo was very easy thanks to the driveway access. As mentioned in the owner's property description, there is a tavern across the street. The noise from the tavern was noticeable until about midnight on only one night. We will definitely consider staying at this property again.

Highly recommend staying Here! It’s a perfect place to walk downtown or go on a run up the mountain!

Holly is great. Great clean VRBO. Highly recommended

I booked this place because it was originally listed as having 4 beds & my brother & I & 2 friends were riding motorcycles to Durango. It has 2 beds & a fold-out couch. (Thank God my brother cancelled.) Upon inquiring about the back bedroom we saw being cleaned when we arrived that was now behind a locked door, we were told that was a separate rental & we could use it only for an extra charge. When I asked about the 4th bed (one bed in each BR, one couch in the LR is all we saw) I was told "the VRBO system listed the pack -n- play as a bed" & the owner sent images of the bedroom descriptions from VRBO, you know, in case I couldn't look that up myself. Really? My 2 year-old grandson has outgrown his pack-n-play.
The WiFi description was wrong so I had to ask for that.
The emailed instructions had the door code but also said to call/text for it?
The shower sprays out the door onto the floor when you turn it on & the bathroom sink spigot flops around loose. Who plumbed this place; a high school kid?
Honestly, it was adequate. But, the place is clearly an operation that the owner doesn't really pay any attention to & just collects money for without really caring about details.

The location was convenient. The layout works well for the smaller space. The parking is a bit tricky especially if there is another person staying at the other rental. We had three different people stay there during our duration. One family was very respectful of the parking, but the other two took our other designated spot. The host was super kind and addressed it with them. Whenever we needed something or had a question the host was very responsive, which we appreciated.

Loved this efficient space with everything we needed for a comfortable stay. Kitchen was well equipped, bed was great and the outside space really nice to sit and enjoy the afternoon sun. We would definitely stay again.

We really enjoy renting from Holly, the owner of this property. She is very responsive and accommodating. Internet quality was great and the property is very close to Horse Gulch trailhead and walkable to several restaurants nearby and we took advantage of that. This was the first time we stayed at this house and we were there for 3 weeks, working remote with a small dog. Which for this location was not ideal. The yard is fenced, but very small. The location is off a busy street and across from a bar, which during COVID has its windows open and was loud at night. I can see this location being better for a shorter stay or for someone not trying to work remote. We do plan to rent from Holly again, just at a different location.

I am so very pleased with my stay; Durango is my hometown, and I came back to bury my parent's remains as they requested. I held a small lovely memorial for them, and Holly was so wonderful and understanding! This cottage is very old-time Durango, and so perfect. I had anticipated my son being there but he could not make it; it would have been perfectly comfortable for a small family or a single as I was. Clean, adorable, comfortable, and close to any part of town. I will stay again and recommend this property owner any time. Thank you!

Was very clean. Yard is very small. Tavern across the street was a little loud on weekend nights. No a/c, gas stove for heat looked good. Kitchen lighting wasn’t so good, owners need to replace track light over sink, as 3 out of 4 lights were out. It was very clean and convenient to everything.

Clean little cottage
Good location to walk around Durango. Enjoyed the kitchen, gas stove, and bedrooms in this little house with my family. Our 4 legged members appreciated the yard and the walks to the open space on the Mesa behind the house. Would stay again.
