Downtown Durango is at your fingertips when you book this lovely two-bedroom vacation rental. Just one block from the Animas River, this home-away-from-home boasts all of the standard comforts, including a private washer/dryer, free wireless internet, and a wood-burning fireplace.

The Durango Public Library is a few minutes' walk away, next to a bike path that hugs the banks of the Animas River. Downtown Durango is a little more than a mile away via the bike path, or half a mile by car. Purgatory Resort is 26 miles away, and Mesa Verde National Park is 36 miles west.

Situated on one of Durango's quiet residential streets, this cozy home is the perfect no-frills retreat for a small family or two couples who want easy access to the city's attractions. Bright and airy with modern decor, this home has everything you need for a successful vacation.

The home features a spacious living room with a large sectional sofa, which faces the wood-burning fireplace and the wall-mounted flatscreen TV. On cold evenings, what could be better than luxuriating in the warmth of a fire?

If you feel like cooking, the fully equipped galley-style kitchen is ready for everything from a leisurely brunch to a quick pre-adventure snack. There's even a dishwasher for easy cleanup. A dining room table seats five.

Up to four guests are welcome to stay at this two-bedroom, one-bathroom home. Each bedroom features a queen-size bed. One of the bedrooms overlooks the fenced backyard.

Whatever you're interested in, Durango has something to offer you. Hop on your bike and head downtown, enjoying scenic views of the Animas River as you coast along the path. Stroll along the city streets, perusing museums, art galleries, and shops, before stopping for a bite to eat or a beer from one of the local breweries.

During the winter, head north to Purgatory Resort for skiing, snowboarding, dog sledding, sleigh rides, and snowshoe tours. In summer, go for a hike in Mesa Verde National Park and explore the Ancestral Puebloan cliff dwellings, then cool off with a rafting trip down the Animas River.

However you choose to spend your time in Southwest Colorado, you're guaranteed to have an unforgettable trip. Don't miss out on this convenient Durango vacation rental!

Girls trip

Had a great time. Could walk to town and the river trail. Clean and supplied well. The deer visited the area every day. It was perfect for me and my bestie to have a great time in Durango. Only comments that need changing would be dining room lights were too dim and door lock was a little finicky

Very nice small rental. Close to town, so able to walk to downtown area. House was nice , but nothing in back yard. A grill or seating might be nice. Overall, enjoyed it very much!

3 weeks in Durango, Co

My 2 pre-teen sons and I stayed for 3 weeks while they attended a camp and I worked telehealth from the house. It was perfect for us and I was sad to leave. The house was great for accessing both downtown and the mountains. We rode our bikes on the river trail many evenings to the skate park, brewery and downtown. Sitting on the front porch in the evenings was perfect with a glass of wine. The wide street has lots of charm. The view from the couch was pretty with the moon, trees and sunsets seen through the large window. The beds were comfy. We loved it and hope to stay again next summer. Thanks!!

Great home base for Durango/SW Colorado adventures!

Was looking for a Durango location on a budget and found the Library House. I was a little concerned initially because it seemed too good price-wise to be true! But my brother is in the area and checked it out and said it was quiet neighborhood by the library so we booked it. It worked out perfectly for our needs 2 adults, 2 teenagers with an busy agenda of outdoor activities around the area. We did not end up using much of the food prep/kitchen stuff provided because we ate out, but it seemed to have everything you could want. Beds, pillows, etc were all comfy. Son ended up sleeping on the couch he liked it so much. Older house, so wooden floors in bedroom were squeaky during midnight bathroom trips, but otherwise fine. One bathroom with 4 people was a bit challenging, but not a big deal. We had great weather - might have gotten a bit of cabin fever if we were stuck inside all day for multiple days but it was cozy for our needs. My husband went out early each morning to walk on the river trail and enjoy the botanical gardens by the library. Close drive to grocery store and restaurants, as well as downtown Durango. House looks like it needs some attention on the outside, but like I said, was perfect for our vacation.

Cute historic home

This is a cute historic home in a quiet neighborhood. It’s spacious, clean and cozy. The location is convenient to many locations. We enjoyed the board games and slept well in the comfortable bed.

This was a cute little house and we really enjoyed our time.

The house was easy to find, in a nice little neighborhood and seemed like a safe location. There was plenty of space for the two of us and would also be great when we bring our kids next time. The rooms were nice and plenty of space for your bags to unpack. The kitchen had lots of dishes and stocked with a lot of items you might need. We drove to the downtown area and then walked around. But we easily could have walked from the house if we wanted.

would not recommend

Needs deep cleaning, sanitization, and air purifier, inadequate lighting, lacked basic cleaning items (vinegar and baking soda would do) The cleaning spray bottle was empty. The bed in 2nd bedroom is poor; front door needs a lock on the inside, the device to open front door is sketchy / tempramental . The pillows were old and malodorous, the sheets were clean but the duvet and shams were soiled. One smelled of perfume and most others were quite smelly and stained. We arrived at night on a very dark street and there was no exterior light available for us. We were not expecting a mansion but cleanliness and safety are essential. Would not recommend. the

Stayed here with my husband and two boys ages 6 and 8. Very nice yard for play. We brought bikes and the street was quiet and safe enough to ride around. The house was clean and comfortable. Location was convenient for a quick drive downtown. We were happy with our stay.

great location, could be much better with a little work

We loved the location near the river path and downtown. There were a few small issues: internet router/connection was different than what was on the welcome email. We were really looking forward to the treehouse but the entrance has been taken down, the property doesnt reflect the pictures listed. Some of the dishes were dirty in the cabinets, the faucet was loose and dripped. Minor stuff but easy to fix, especially for the cost of the rental. Note: there is no cable or TV service, we bought a cheap roku.

Spacious and comfortable home

Loved that this home was a five minute walk to the bike trail and river, and also walking distance to town. It was clean and well supplied with linens and cookware. This is an older but well kept home so the walls are pretty thin. The on-site manual showed parking in a garage, but it was locked. The manual also contained great information about the town, but not so much about the home itself, such as how to use the fireplace, and lots of information about the garbage collection, but conflicting information on which day of the week (so the container was in the alley when we arrived and was never picked up). Very minor, but worth noting that there were two drip coffee makers, but no filters or coffee. It was odd that I also found some espresso cups, but no machine for them. There were also two empty salt shakers, so no salt. Overall, we loved the home and enjoyed our stay very much!

Durango library house

Have stayed here before and enjoyed it as before. Some minor issues that could be addressed, need an extra light in living to read by. I actually moved a light from bedroom which was less than ideal. Hinges on gate access to back yard are about to go. Taking trash cans through that gate proved to be tricky.
