Two beautiful bedrooms upstairs have high-end queen sized mattresses for a comfortable nights sleep. There are down comforters and lots of extra towels and linens.

Your kids and dogs will have a blast exploring the nature trail up the back hill, safely fenced in.

It is a 30-minute drive to Purgatory (DMR) where you can ski some of Colorado’s best. Or just stay in and make popcorn and take advantage of our comfy leather furniture, DVD Collection, LCD TV with Dish and small library of great books, and of course Wireless High Speed Internet.

Lovely clean home in nice, quiet neighborhood with an abundance of deer to watch. The central AC was absolutely great, the kitchen was equipped with anything you may need, and the patio with outside grill was nice to have. The master bed mattress was firm but comfortable for us. The home is a easy walk to a local park with playground equipment if you have kids, and a nice lawn to walk your dog. Very convenient location to downtown shops and restaurants. The backyard is essentially a hill and although fenced, it’s not really usable but the neighborhood is walkable and the nearby park worked for us. We enjoyed our stay and would sty here again!

Such a great stay — truly dog‑friendly and really well done

We spent a long weekend here visiting family in Durango and couldn’t have asked for a better place. The house was peaceful, super clean, and had everything we needed. It’s clear a lot of thought went into making it comfortable and easy to settle into.The fenced yard was perfect for my two dogs — so nice not to have to stress about that. And I really appreciated the separate entrance from the bedroom so I could let them in and out easily. Small detail, but it made a big difference.The kitchen was well-stocked, everything worked, and the layout just made sense. It didn’t feel like a generic rental — it actually felt like a home.Huge thank you to the owners — they were incredibly responsive and kind throughout our stay, which made everything that much smoother. It’s hard to find a truly nice place that also welcomes dogs, not just “allows” them. This one absolutely delivered. We’d love to come back.

Attention to Detail

Two friends, my wife and I and our dogs stayed at Casa Durango for Memorial Day weekend to visit family and participate in the Iron Horse Bicycle Classic events in and around town. The house is warm, comfortable, clean and met every need. From the convenient location to the proximity to my sister’s place, the lovely poppies in the yard in full bloom, vibrant houseplants, beautiful artwork hanging on the walls, inviting spaces and cozy privacy with high ceilings and lots of light, modern appliances blended seamlessly with mountain Victorian charm. This place has it all. The attention to detail made it a very comfortable and luxurious experience that I would recommend to anyone planning a visit to Durango.

Not your average “Grandma’s House”

We stayed at this beautiful historic home in Durango for nearly three weeks and truly enjoyed our time. The house has a quiet charm and a comforting, nostalgic feel—like a place that’s been loved for generations.Everything was thoughtfully arranged, and it had just the right mix of character and comfort. It reminded us of a family home you look forward to visiting year after year—peaceful, inviting, and easy to settle into.We’re grateful for the experience and would gladly return. A lovely place to stay.

Weekend grip

The home was beautiful, great location and had everything we could’ve needed. There were people working on the exterior of the home when we arrived but once we notified the host she was quick to offer a solution and amend things for us to ensure a great stay! We would definitely stay here again when in Durango!

Home away from Home

This property had everything we could want. Close walking proximity to downtown Durango, all the cooking essentials, extremely comfortable beds and pillows, everything basically provided. All you need to bring is yourself and a sense of adventure. We truly enjoyed sitting on the front porch each morning having our coffee, taking in the fresh air. The covered patio with table and grill offered a nice outside escape, then you discover a 2nd patio up a flight of stairs. The time of year (Feb) wasn't the best time to see the garden plants, but you could imagine how beautiful it would be when everything was in full bloom! Great house - loved spending time there.

Great Stay with family over Christmas

We enjoyed our stay in Durango at the Garden Home over Christmas 2024. The house is very well appointed. It's 3 bedrooms, one Master with a King bed and an attached bathroom - very small shower and no tub and then next to the Master - two bedrooms - both with Queens and a bathroom with shower/tub. The kitchen had everything we needed for cooking our meals. It took us a bit of time to figure out the heating situation so ask Holly if you need tips. I will say - the bed in the master was very firm. I realize mattresses are very personal so this is just a note so you are aware. We brought our large dogs (both 85 pounds each) and they loved the backyard but keep in mind, it is very steep with levels and not sturdy as the rocks kept sliding down as the dogs were climbing. I mention this only to say if you are looking for a flat fenced in yard - this not it. It's about a mile walk to main street...we did it multiple times a day. It's also pretty close to some trails. The shops on main street are cute and we loved Durango Coffee, Chimayo, Carvers Brewery and the Himalayan Kitchen. We wanted to try James Ranch (not on Main) but ran out of time. Holly is a great host and available to answer questions.

*!* Review of another of the renters listings in Durango *!*

I was contacted by the owner that the property was going to be worked on and if we wanted to shift to another of their properties in Durango, Casa Luna. VrBo will not let me review the place we stayed. It's a bit farther out of town (~10m) but an amazing place. Short version: 3 bedrooms, 3 bathrooms, hide-a-bed. tons of space for visiting and eating. The Casa Luna portion is the ground floor that can support a large family or two families staying at one time. It is a nice place, clean and setup well. The extra drive out of town it worth it for the stars. Amazing night and day views of farm country. This property will definitely be added to my families list of favorites in the area. My kids are stompers they LOVE the sound of their little feet hitting the floor... so it's worth mentioning that it is a raised floor so I'm sure the guests above us heard my stompers. We heard them (foot steps, not voices). It's not loud, very similar to an apartment volume. Google maps got us there without problem; If you are visual kind of driver it's probably worth getting there or, at least stopping by in the day time. So if you come in at night you are more familiar with the drive ways.

Great House

The property was wonderful. It’s a little outdated and needs a bit of sprucing up, but it was clean and very functional. The bed in the master was very comfortable. It actually has three bedrooms, not two. We appreciated the air conditioning in the bedrooms and in the house as we know, Durango can get hot sometimes. It’s a little bit of a walk to a downtown, but some of our group had no problem with it. The host was wonderful to work with. She was very accommodating to our needs.
