About this house rental

With the Purple Juniper as your home base in Durango, you will be able to park your car and walk everywhere in town. With a five-minute walk, arrive at the heart of downtown and restaurants, shops, and the Durango Silverton Narrow Gauge Railraod.

The home itself is an intimate and inviting half-duplex f faces a sunny and quiet neighborhood street. It is cozy with an open floor plan with an updated bathroom and kitchen. The kitchen and living room are connected by a granite island with three seats. Additional dining seating in warmer months is a four-seat table on the front deck. The bedrooms have a queen bed in one room and two twins in the second room. All beds are solid, plush, and comfortable. Evaporative cooling in the Summer additionally provides for restful nights.

The adjacent unit's primary access is from the back of the house, while Purple Juniper's access is from the front, with dedicated use of the front patio seating, and grill.

In addition to Main Avenue and downtown, hiking and biking trails including the Nature Trail and Sky Steps within a few blocks of the home. The neighborhood is pedestrian and dog-friendly and the block on which Purple Juniper resides is especially quiet and peaceful.

Guests are welcome to bring up to two pups, provided they don't get on furniture and have a low-key disposition given the pedestrian nature of the neighborhood.

Feel free to also check out the executive rental next-door, the Highland Sage, which is a three-bedroom home with similar amenities. I look forward to hosting you at this peaceful, downtown home

Our trip to Durango was amazing and Purple Juniper was the perfect place to stay! I've stayed in many VRBO properties and Purple Juniper is one of the best. This place is absolutely adorable and has everything you need for your stay. This trip was myself, my husband and my two teenage kids. Purple Juniper worked well for us because there were two bedrooms and the second bedroom my kids stayed in had two twin beds so nobody had to sleep on the couch. Purple Juniper is the front unit of this duplex. We had the front porch and the other unit had use of the backyard. We spent every evening hanging out on the porch. It was nice and quiet. We met the people staying in the other unit as they use the front porch to access their front door. They were the nicest people and we talked with them every day. Purple Juniper is a couple blocks from Main St. We easily walked down to Main St where all the shops and restaurants are. The unit was very clean and well put together. The owner, Victoria, is amazing. She checks in on you and makes sure everything is going well. It was refreshing because sometimes you never hear from a VRBO owner or manager. You just show up and hope the place is actually there. lol. There was plenty of parking. We parked right in front of the unit every day. We also saw a deer right on the property! Being from AZ we don't see that kind of stuff. I highly recommend Purple Juniper. We will definitely be staying again next time we come to Durango.

Excellent location for a Durango stay. I was able work during the day both on the bar inside and the outdoor porch area. The walk to downtown is so easy and convenient. AND very quiet. Victoria was the perfect host, she made sure all the essentials and BEYOND were available, even checked in during my stay to ensure all needs were being met. My son is a FLC student, he popped in before and after classes, making the location perfect for those visiting students. The furniture and bed were very comfortable. The kitchen is fully stocked with all the cooking and dining items you need. I really enjoyed sitting outside in the evening with a glass of wine watching the neighbors walk by. The Purple Juniper will be my go-to stay in Durango.

The location of Purple Juniper was what attracted us to this property. It is in a quiet neighborhood with an easy walk to downtown. Add to that the wonderful front deck, the lovely accommodations, and excellent communication with Victoria, and it is a place I will hope to book when we visit again. We highly recommend!

The property is in a great location within walking distance to virtually all points of interest in the downtown area. It is also in a very quiet neighborhood. The kitchen is well stocked with useful items rather than just “stuff” as is often found. All in all a very nice place to stay and I highly recommend it.

We adored this property and loved the location of this home so much that we are now looking to buy in the same neighborhood! We were able to walk everywhere we needed to (downtown, Hogsback, Fort Lewis, City Market…). The home was clean and well stocked. Victoria was amazing. She contacted us throughout our stay to make sure all was well and we didn’t need anything. We totally recommend the Purple Juniper house. Thanks for everything Victoria!

We spent a month at Purple Juniper. Arrived to find property as listed: a warm, “cabin-y” 2-bedroom. The unit was CLEAN which is our biggest requirement. We did have a couple of appliance issues that management jumped on immediately. Place is just a short walk to historic downtown Durango and Silverton train. It is also in a great walking neighborhood and minutes from SkySteps to the College on plateau above. Easy access to major roads leading to Mesa Verde, Purgatory, Pagosa Springs and more.

This property is in great proximity to historic downtown Durango. A short walk to shopping, breweries and many restaurants. Only downside was the cleanliness was not great - but still a good rental.

The Purple Juniper was perfect for my stay in Durango. You can walk to everywhere downtown in minutes or take a short drive to stores like Natural Grocers . Very charming, clean and cozy! Quiet and clean and wonderful amenities. Great if you are cooking or even want a morning smoothie. Victoria is very responsive, but there was very little not thought of or explained right inside for the stay! Will look forward to another stay down the road, my first choice in town. Highly recommended!

Our family loved our stay at the purple juniper! We could easily walk to Durango Main Street, which we regularly did for meals and shopping, but the street was quiet and the home was exceptionally clean and well-appointed for cooking and even laundry. I've stayed at a lot of rentals and have never had such a well-equipped kitchen- they had all appliances, dishes, even a variety of spices available for use. Beds were comfortable and cozy. Would recommend 100% and would stay here again.

The host was fabulous about reaching out to see if we needed anything. Very well stocked with plates, mugs dishes etc. Also lots of bath towels. I specifically chose this house for the close proximity to downtown. It was very easy to get to and from town by foot or car.

This property was excellent! My family of four was very comfortable. Stayed nice and cool during the day with the temperatures being in the mid to high 80’s. We did run the evaporative cooler for an hour to make sure we were nice and cool before bed. It worked very well. It was so close to downtown Durango. Very easy walk! Playgrounds close for the kids to play at. The house was well stocked. We would love to stay again!
