About this house rental
2 Beds, 1 Bath, Sleeps 4
City of Durango: This is an Executive Rental and will be rented monthly, with the exception of when friends and family stay. There will only be one rental per 30 day period.
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. Durango is currently partially open with masks required in all public spaces. Restaurants are open with social distancing in place.
Located in the heart of Historic Downtown Durango, Urban Homestead is situated on a huge garden lot. Almost .2 acres in Historic Downtown Durango and only 5 Blocks to walk to Downtown Main Avenue. This is truly like a little farm in Downtown Durango.
My mother, a master gardener, had a vision of transforming this adorable bungalow style house, and already fruitful yard, into an Urban Homestead. This property especially lends itself to families with children and family pets because of the huge yard and garden. Come have a "whole vacation" in Durango from the comfort of a home at the Urban Homestead!
The House: This 1200 SF house has 2 bedrooms, and one full bath. The house sleeps 4; there is a queen bed in the master bedroom, and two twin beds in the upstairs bedroom. Tempurpedic style mattresses are new, and super comfortable, complete with beautiful linens. The tile bathroom has a bathtub/ shower and has everything you need; towels, shampoo, hair dryer... etc. There is a small office, an old roll top desk stocked with writing supplies and plug in for your lap top computer. The upstairs dormer we turned into a play area for kids complete with dress up clothes, books, games, and a beanbag. The kitchen is recently remodeled with maple cabinets and a Bosch dishwasher, water filter, and large refrigerator with icemaker. The cook will appreciate the complete kitchen equipped with everything you need to make a gourmet meal; from the good pans and quality knives to cloth napkins, blender, etc. The round dinning room table seats four, but the best place to eat is outside in the back yard…
The Yard: Sit in the shade of the four mature apricot trees surrounding the back yard. Teak outdoor dining furniture and a gas BBQ make this a yard you will want to spend the afternoons reading, cooking, playing and dinning in. The yard in completely surrounded by privacy fencing & walls and is very quiet and private. There is a vegetable garden complete with strawberry patch, fruit trees, and flowerbeds. The yard is safe for a dog but we do ask you do not let your dog dig up any of the plants. A large & shady dog kennel is available for your k9 use.
The Location: Urban Homestead is only 10 minutes walk from the Train Station, Durango Natural Foods Co-op (my favorite grocery!), Telegraph / Horse Gulch trailhead, and Main Avenue downtown Durango. One quarter block away is a branch of the River Trail leading to Santa Rita Park and the whole river trail; perfect for easy walks and riding your bike all through town. You can easily walk to any of the local downtown restaurants for dinner. The neighborhood on 1st street is very quiet. Being the last street in town it gets hardly any traffic and is generally quiet at night. So go ahead and walk downtown in your pajamas for coffee!
Come stay at our Urban Oasis and pamper yourself while you enjoy Downtown Durango from the comfort of a Home!
All the best,

Holly and Ben took great care of us! The house was exceptionally furnished for our extended stay! It has chef quality Kitchen furnishings which we appreciated greatly. Complete with a dog door to a huge back yard for Harry our mini-Aussie!
Our guests enjoyed the guest room and we had a great time exploring the fantastic town of Durango and several nearby attractions.
Wild Horse is all we expected and more!

Pictures were definitely outdated. The house had some nice updates since the pictures. We love sitting outdoors that didn't happen since the yard is not maintained. Perfect location.

This was our second time staying in a year. We booked last Jan-March and again this December-Jan. We love the location (walk to downtown and the Animas River), the yard (great for our old poodles), the sunroom, the comfy bed, just about everything. Our child loves the privacy of the loft. The mudroom is also great for ski equipment. It’s a super quiet neighborhood as well but right in town.
We cannot wait to return. Holly is excellent at saying in touch, offering helpful town suggestions, etc. We couldn’t recommend this home more highly for a small family trip.

Great location, comfortable house
Enjoyed our stay, Holly was a gracious and accommodating host. She checked in regularly to see if we needed supplies. The yard was secure and perfect for our dog and for doing social distant hang outs. Loved waking up to coffee in the sun room next to the fireplace then heading out for a quick hike in Horse Gulch only a 10 min walk from the house. Already planning our next visit. Highly recommend for a couple with a pet!

We escaped the heat at home & enjoyed 2 months at Urban Homestead in Durango. The house was perfect for the 2 of us & our pets. I loved the old stove & the nice big refrig. Kitchen was well-equipped. The fenced yard was wonderful for the dogs, I loved having a clothes line out back and the new washer & dryer were nice. Beds were comfy with nice linens. The location was good, we liked being able to walk downtown and trails were nearby too. Seriously, lock the garbage can like the rules say if you rent there or you'll be cleaning up trash that the bears got into! Deer & bears are frequent visitors as well as neighbor cats. We had visitors stay with us for a few nights. The bathroom is off the master bedroom. This was a bit of an issue but workable for me as it was short term. I wouldn't like the setup if friends wanted to stay longer. Holly was good to work with when we had a problem with the coffee maker & washer....replacements arrived quickly! I hope we can return to Urban Homestead again in 2020!

Holly and her mom Marilyn have done a great job renovating this home. I felt at home immediately upon entering the front door. In addition, they are both very friendly and helpful.
The house is located about a 10 minute walk from the main part of Downton Durango and if you are a mountain biker, you can ride to the Horse Gulch area from the home. There are other trails available within riding distance as well.
Depending on what you want to do while in Durango, you really don't need a car once you arrive at the home.
It's hard to focus on just one positive item, because everything was good.
I would absolutely stay here again!

So close to town
We had our out of town relatives stay a week at Urban Homestead, and it worked so well. Close to town and comfortable by all. Apricots just coming on in the yard, so we even made jam.

We had a great stay here at the Urban Homestead. The house was clean, comfortable, and in a neighborhood close to downtown Durango. I would definitely recommend it! The owner was easy to work with and very friendly and helpful.

Our stay at Urban Homestead was great! We had fine weather, so could walk about each day as well. We especially liked the little kitchen, coffee in the sun room and watching all the birds in the big back yard.
We found that we could walk to the used book store, S.W. Book Traders, and movies at the Gaslight....in about 10 min. It was really great to leave the car at home. We will be back!

We had a great stay at Holly's house - the location is excellent. Walk to anything downtown. The yard is secure and lots of room for dogs to play. Lots of kitchen items are available for cooking in and having a w/d is so great for not having to bring an abundance of clothes.
The mud room was a plus to store jackets and outside gear. The privacy of parking in a driveway was nice and the neighbors were friendly and the neighborhood quiet.
The upstairs area for our boys was much bigger than the pic appear, so plenty of room for 2 teenage boys to have privacy and space to hangout.
Some places we used and highly recommend are 2nd Ave Sports for any Summer or Winter rentals - walking distance. Happy Hounds Fat Cats Dog Day Care - they were awesome!! Just be sure to call ahead and make reservations and bring all necessary paperwork for your pet.

It’s a really nice place and super cute! Only thing is my dog found a space to escape from. I just leaned a board I found against it.

Adorable house in the heart of town
We had a fantastic time at this super cute house. Holly is super helpful in planning our river trip and several hikes. The yard is like being in the south of France and we used the table under the overhanging apricot tree for almost every meal. Our little dog loved the freedoms of the back yard and its safe dog proof fence. We could not ask for more and will be back again for ski season!

Lovely home with a fantastic yard and great location
My family shared this house for over a week - 6 of us (1kid). We piled in and it worked great because the yard and location made getting out and about easy. The kitchen fuctions for family meal. We especially enjoyed eating outside. The sleeper couch is comfortable as are all the beds. The only downside was the bathroom. You have to go through the master bedroom. The bathroom is compact but fuctional even if we all took hot showers. We made it work.

Fabulous cozy house for a family.
This house was so comfortable and warm. We could walk with the stroller and our Yack Tracks, in the dead of winter, to everything we needed. Our kids so much fun playing in the back yard in the snow. The house is very clean and had everything we needed. We really appreciated the play nuk upstairs and the very comfortable beds. It was also nice to have fast wi- fi to get my work done. Love this house! and we will be back this summer.

Excellent little house for a family!
We had such a great time staying in the Urban Homestead. The house is adorable and with a huge back yard filled with strawberries, peaches, apricots and lots of herbs and flowers. It felt like the Tuscan countryside eating under the big trees on the wooden table in the private back yard. It only took us 5 minutes to walk downtown to the Train Station on Main Avenue, although we were hoofing it. Close enough to get coffee if you like in the morning downtown. The beds are great: Tempropedic style mattresses. Holly was fantastic to deal with and gave us great ideas of what to do in town and where to ride horses with the family. Fun trip, looking forward to staying here again.
Thanks!!

Charm, comfort and great location
Highly recommended. My fiancee and I loved our extended stay. We did a lot of walking to downtown and around the neighborhood. The well-appointed kitchen allowed us to cook at home as often as we liked. Sleeping arrangements were amazingly comfortable. Bathroom was well-stocked with linens and supplies, great hot showers came in handy during the cold weather. Cable and wifi were great, and we set up a little home office. The mud room is a nice touch as well. Owners are really friendly and responsive to requests. Enjoy your stay!
