The carriage house was wonderful. We only had it for two nights but that was enough to know we will book again when and if we return to Durango. The hosts and their daughter were all super friendly, as was Birdy. Highly recommend.

Lovely loft!!

We were pleasantly surprised with the quality construction and beautiful design of this place! Joe, property owner was so great, friendly, welcoming, easy to work with. The home is wonderfully equipped, nice AC, lots of windows for cross breezes if you wish. We loved our evening visits from Birdie, their golden retriever. She is happy to be your fill-in fur companion if you like. Quiet neighborhood, close to downtown and walking/cycling trails. Would highly recommend!

A Great Choice!

My husband and I both enjoyed our 5 day stay here at the Carriage House away from the Arizona heat! The accommodations were very clean, quiet, and comfortable and location was great in the the historic district. The place was well stocked with pretty much whatever we needed. We loved sitting on the private deck in the late afternoon reading and relaxing with a glass of wine. It’s a fairly easy walk to downtown along the Animas River trails & bike paths and about a 25 minute walk to the Durango/Silverton train station. Joe & Yona were both great and easy to communicate with. We also had an added bonus of being greeted by Birdie, their beautiful and friendly golden Lab. So glad we chose the Carriage House!

Wonderful Gem!

The Carriage House is such a wonderful place to stay. You look around and see the attention to detail that the hosts have provided. The deck over looking the landscaped property and the sound of the nearby waterfalls make it the perfect place to have your morning coffee or an evening glass of wine. The place is very clean and tidy and the kitchen is well stocked with everything you need. Joe and Yonna are very welcoming and we (and our dog Angel) especially enjoyed the four legged concierge, Birdie. We would not hesitate to stay here on our next trip to Durango

Absolutely LOVED this carriage house. It had every amenity you could ask for. Super clean, adorable kitchen with everything you need for cooking a good meal. Great deck with plenty of privacy. Easy access to the river walking trails and downtown. I stayed for almost a month and enjoyed every minute. Joe, Yona and kids were wonderful hosts and provided everything I needed.

Perfect Stay in Durango

The property is ideal for a couples getaway and Joe and Yana are the best hosts. The place was completely updated and well stocked. We brought our dog Rocco and he was welcomed! We were in town for a ski weekend and unfortunately had to cut our trip short. Without our asking, Joe offered to refund for the unused nights. I highly recommend this property to anyone visiting Durango!

Great location, great owners!

Joe and Yona were spectacular! Wonderful to work with and the place was superb! We will definitely be back and appreciate their hospitality. Loved the location. Close to downtown and only a 25 minute drive to Purgatory. The place was clean, fully stocked with everything you need, and the bed was so comfortable. Highly recommend taking the Durango Train winter excursion and the Ice Pirates snowmobiling out of Silverton. We absolutely loved seeing Sugar, Zoe, and the new addition to the Delling family, Birdie! Loved giving the dogs the provided treats when they would greet us in the mornings and afternoons from our outings. You will love it here…don’t look anymore…book this place.

Fabulous apartment with great location

We can't say enough positives about this apartment. This place is the complete stay. The owners are wonderful with providing detailed communication, the location is within walking distance to town, and the apartment had everything needed for a lengthy stay (including a washer and dryer). The little outdoor deck provided the perfect setting for an outdoor lunch or a glass of wine during cocktail hour. Zoe and Sugar, the family dogs, greeted us faithfully everyday! We would definitely recommend this stay.

About the host

Hosted by Joe and Yona Delling

Both of us attended here at Ft Lewis College and while we have both lived other places neither of us had ever found a place quite like Durango. We have both now Lived in town for more than 25 years. Yona is a nurse at the local hospital and Joe is a fly fishing guide and carpenter. We consider ourselves fortunate to be able to live and raise a family in such a unique location.

Why they chose this property

Ours is one of the few Victorian homes in the neighborhood built in the late 1800s. It required a lot of fixing up but the location and historical nature of the house was just too much for us to pass up. We finished construction on the Carriage house in early 2014 in hopes people would spend their vacations here and also as place for friends and family to stay when they visit.

What makes this property unique

One benefit of the properties location is that it butts to a forested hillside, this means we have no alley or neighbors behind us. The deck of the Carriage house faces this hill and its common to see deer and other wildlife pass through. I think it offers a privacy and feel that's hard to find in a location this close to Main Avenue. Also we have central air conditioning rather than window units to maximize comfort for our guests.
