Downtown Durango-New Custom Timber Frame-the Carriage House

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.

Great stay in Durango
The house is in a great location and everything was exactly as advertised. The downtown area is a short drive away. We drove to Mesa Verde National Park one day and rode the train to Silverton the next day. Great stay!

Durango stay October 2024
Very nice comfortable house located just one block from the walking/bike trail along the Animas river. Walking distance to several restaurants. Well stocked kitchen and comfortable seating areas. Communication and checkin were seamless. No problems at all. No complaints other than it sits on a corner that does have some traffic, despite that, would stay again if ever in Durango. Highly recommend

Charming house in great location
We really enjoyed our stay in the Carriage House. It was clean, well-appointed and stocked with everything we needed. The architecture of the house with all of the beams is charming. The owner communicated well and made everything easy for us. The location is perfect - with easy access to the River Walk, the Historic Downtown, the Train, all the restaurants, etc. We would definitely stay here again. (A note to light sleepers...the house is near a busy street and a train crossing during the day - but still gets 5 stars for the charm of the house and its great location.)

Perfect Spot in Durango!
What an amazing place in a great location in town. The house is stocked with everything we needed, including stuff for the kids! We especially liked being a few steps away from the DSNGRR tracks to see the train in the mornings and evenings, plus the walking path by the river.

Comfortable & Unique Downtown Home
Quiet and spacious home within walking distance of Main Street restaurants and attractions. Kitchen is well equipped for making your own meals. Bedrooms are comfortable — we slept very well for the entire week. Easy, assigned parking for 2 cars. Andrew is an attentive host. I’ll certainly check availability here first for my next Durango trip. Thank you Andrew! Our stay in your beautiful home was a pleasure!

Fabulous house near the river
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!

Wonderful Place to Stay
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.

Great location for short term stay
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.

Amazing Stay and Property
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.
