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.

Weekend Getaway

Our family of four stayed here for a weekend of soccer. We were looking for a house with enough room and beds for two kids and four adults in a walkable location. This house delivered! Everyone was happy to watch the train steam by, to catch the walking path along the river, and to have plenty of walkable space for the dog.

The Carriage House

We enjoyed our family reunion with cousins, all our adult children and parents. Easy access to everything. Would highly recommend this home. My brother rented another house and one of our cousins lives here. It was very easy for us all to connect to be together. Durango has a lot to offer! Thank you!

Perfect Walkable Downtown Location

It was such a great place to stay. Andrew was very responsive to inquiries. We would definitely stay again. The only thing that could be improved is adding pots and pans that we could reliably cook in. Otherwise a nicely appointed house.
