Grand Durango Experience! 2 Miles From Downtown
Summary:
Owner managed home! Hot Tub, Ping Pong, Foosball, Pool Table, Fire Pit, Viewing Deck, Refreshing AC - We got it all! You and your crew will be over-the-top impressed with this large vacation rental. Enjoy all that Durango has to offer such as world class skiing/mountain biking, white water rafting, rock climbing, hiking...all while being just a short drive to Historic Downtown and Fort Lewis College - a PRIME Location! Tons of parking for many cars, bikes, trailers, ATV's, and more!
The Space:
This pet friendly, family friendly, vacation home truly has it all! New grill added October, 2025. There is a beautiful kitchen on the main level with an expansive island ready to kickstart your vacation the right way! Cook delicious meals together and connect - nothing brings people together better than food! There is also a kitchenette on the lower level which makes this home perfect for a couple of families to share together, or a large group! About 3,000 sqft of perfectly crafted space awaits you only 2.5 miles from downtown Durango, and only 1.5 miles from the Animas River Trail. Sitting on 1/2 acre with a fully fenced yard, and a short trail to a lookout deck offering stunning mountain and valley views with open space behind for additional trail access. This location is a quick 5 min drive to Historic Downtown Durango, yet you can easily hop on 550 North towards Purgatory Ski area just 25 miles away. You will not get bored with a pool table, foosball, darts, ping pong, yard games, and home gym at your disposal. Plenty of parking out front that can accommodate up to 7+ vehicles or trailers. Guests also have use of the detached garage (this is where the ping pong table and home gym are located) where you can park a car, your side by side, bikes, and motorcycles for extra security. Exceptional attention to detail was taken in creating this unique space! You will not be disappointed. The downstairs has its own exterior entrance and small kitchen, which makes this the perfect place if you are traveling with other families, providing a sense of privacy, yet easily come together when desired for meals and fun! Sleeping up to 14 people, your large group (or smaller group) will love every bit of this beautifully remodeled home. You will probably see deer and other wildlife that like to frequent the vacant lot next door! Oh, and we can’t leave out the extremely fast high speed FIBER internet clocking in at or above 475 mbps! Need to get some work done (very popular with all the remote working options)? Well, we have a new scandinavian style desk available for you to use, coupled with the extremely fast fiber internet! Send out a few emails, then get back to vacation mode with the family in this beautiful mountain setting. At the end of your adventurous day relax in the Nordic Pure ozone infused hot tub on the deck, and grill some juicy steaks (new grill added Oct 2025) while enjoying a glass of wine on the lookout deck with views of the mountain range, downtown Durango, and the Animas Valley. This is your escape to the San Juan Mountains with every amenity at your disposal! The master closet is also extremely spacious and can easily fit a pack-and-play which families with young children love! There is also a utility sink in the laundry room which is great for the messy jobs! What are you waiting for? Your perfect Durango escape awaits!

I think as a customer, this property is over sold.The kitchen was nice and big, the property was cozy.However,I hate the directives of lists, to do this, or we will charge you this. It’s always a little aggressive and makes you just feel uneasy to enjoy your stay. Not to mention food was left in the oven upon our arrival. I get that is an over sight by the cleaners however, does that mean we’ll get any compensation because you said you’ll be charging the customer before us for not having the dishes clean?Overall the place was nice and supported our group well.

The perfect property for our celebration
We were in town for FLC Commencement. This very fun and very cozy property was excellent for our family. The property was pet friendly and had everything to host a nice little reception lunch. Our hosts were easy to communicate with and really went out of their way to ensure a smooth check-in and accomodated a late checkout as well.
