About this house rental
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.

Carriage House is in a great location near the river and walking trail. It’s also a very solid, beautiful house, with everything you need supplied. Andrew is easy to reach and responds quickly; we asked for a late check out and he worked to make that happen. We will definitely be back!

The location was perfect and the house was very clean, comfortable. and equipped with everything needed. It was a quick walk to downtown and the beautiful river trail. We could ride our mountain bikes from the house to nearby trails. My husband loved the Durango Silverton train that went right by the house. Fishing was also only a short walk away.

The carriage house was nicely furnished. The beds were comfortable. The AC units were a nice touch but a bit noisy. We aren't used to city ife so the traffic and AC noises were a bit much. Lovely and convenient area for walks, lots of parks, near Animas trail.
5.0
This is a stunning property and just like the pictures show. A lovely home. Very comfortable for a group of six. Conveniently located to downtown Durango and well appointed. I would rate it a 10/10. Would definitely stay here again.

We spent a week at the Carriage House. As other reviewers have stated it, it was one the best equipped and cleanest properties I have rented thru VRBO. The location was excellent, easy walking distance to downtown and just a short walk to the Animas river trail.

Our second trip to Durango and we had to stay here again. The home is spacious for our family, has great beds and everything needed to cook. Plus you can walk to downtown and the river. We enjoyed it again!
5.0
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.
5.0
First time to stay in a timberframe home, and it did not disappoint. Beautiful, comfortable home that had everything we needed. Several eateries within walking distance, and the Durango-Silverton train depot was just a very short drive. Very nice neighborhood. Andrew was a great host --- communicated very well. Really appreciated the opportunity to stay here for a couple nights!
5.0
This property was perfect. Extremely clean, well stocked with towels and extra pillows and blankets. Location couldn’t be better. Beautiful front porch next to lilac bush allowed for early morning coffee with some deer walking by. Host was very accommodating and very easy to talk with. Can’t recommend this rental high enough!!
5.0
Very clean and comfortable property, within walking distance to town with restaurants and bars. The property is located very close to the railway line, which we loved, it was fun watching the train go by twice a day. The whole point of us being in Durango was for a trip on the train to Silverton and it didn't disappoint us. Would highly recommend the trip as the scenery was stunning.
Overall we had a fantastic time, the property and town were both charming and will remember forever,

Clean, well appointed, conveniently located! The king mattress was the best I’d ever slept on, and I even looked for the brand/model number but was unsuccessful! lol. We’d stay again.
5.0
The Architecture and Decor are something out of a magazine. Three really spacious bedrooms gave us some time apart. The views are excellent (not change-your-life good but serine and pleasant).
The location is within walking distance of two staple eating establishments and a great walking/biking trail passes right by the front door!
I highly recommend this property and Durango in general for anyone looking for a mountain vacation!!

The Carriage House is a great place to stay and Andrew was really easy to work with. The house is exactly as it looks in the photos. Everything is up to date and it's great.
The location is also really good. Walk right in to historic downtown but also close enough to highway 550 and able to get to Purgatory with ease. If you like good beer, Animas Brewing is a very short walk. And the steam engine and train came right past on the weekend.
I'd highly recommend The Carriage House and if we come back to Durango we'd definitely want to stay here again.

We really enjoyed our stay at the carriage house! The location was amazing - we walked downtown every night for drinks and dinner. Easy parking right out the front door which made it easy to unload. The house is well stocked and cozy. The perfect stay for a ski vacation!

5.0
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!

Stayed for a few nights with my family. We had a great time. The house is close to the railroad tracks so the Polar Express came by several times a day which was magical for my little girls. The house has everything you need, the set up is nice and spacious, and the location was great? We will definitely be returning to this one! Only downside I can. See would be if you were traveling with another couple is that the upstairs bathroom is in the master snd the other bathroom is downstairs next to the kitchen. Not a problem when traveling with family though.
5.0
Excellent property. Had everything we needed to enjoy our 5 night stay. We stayed Nov.23-Nov. 27. House was quite cozy with very nice family space, kitchen and bathrooms. Kitchen was well stocked and bedrooms had comfortable beds. Easy instructions and communication by owner. Thank you and we would love to come back soon!
