Downtown Durango is at your fingertips when you book this lovely two-bedroom vacation rental. Just one block from the Animas River, this home-away-from-home boasts all of the standard comforts, including a private washer/dryer, free wireless internet, and a wood-burning fireplace.

The Durango Public Library is a few minutes' walk away, next to a bike path that hugs the banks of the Animas River. Downtown Durango is a little more than a mile away via the bike path, or half a mile by car. Purgatory Resort is 26 miles away, and Mesa Verde National Park is 36 miles west.

Situated on one of Durango's quiet residential streets, this cozy home is the perfect no-frills retreat for a small family or two couples who want easy access to the city's attractions. Bright and airy with modern decor, this home has everything you need for a successful vacation.

The home features a spacious living room with a large sectional sofa, which faces the wood-burning fireplace and the wall-mounted flatscreen TV. On cold evenings, what could be better than luxuriating in the warmth of a fire?

If you feel like cooking, the fully equipped galley-style kitchen is ready for everything from a leisurely brunch to a quick pre-adventure snack. There's even a dishwasher for easy cleanup. A dining room table seats five.

Up to four guests are welcome to stay at this two-bedroom, one-bathroom home. Each bedroom features a queen-size bed. One of the bedrooms overlooks the fenced backyard.

Whatever you're interested in, Durango has something to offer you. Hop on your bike and head downtown, enjoying scenic views of the Animas River as you coast along the path. Stroll along the city streets, perusing museums, art galleries, and shops, before stopping for a bite to eat or a beer from one of the local breweries.

During the winter, head north to Purgatory Resort for skiing, snowboarding, dog sledding, sleigh rides, and snowshoe tours. In summer, go for a hike in Mesa Verde National Park and explore the Ancestral Puebloan cliff dwellings, then cool off with a rafting trip down the Animas River.

However you choose to spend your time in Southwest Colorado, you're guaranteed to have an unforgettable trip. Don't miss out on this convenient Durango vacation rental!

Visit to Durango
Very nice small rental. Close to town, so able to walk to downtown area. House was nice , but nothing in back yard. A grill or seating might be nice. Overall, enjoyed it very much!

Great home base for Durango/SW Colorado adventures!
Was looking for a Durango location on a budget and found the Library House. I was a little concerned initially because it seemed too good price-wise to be true! But my brother is in the area and checked it out and said it was quiet neighborhood by the library so we booked it. It worked out perfectly for our needs 2 adults, 2 teenagers with an busy agenda of outdoor activities around the area. We did not end up using much of the food prep/kitchen stuff provided because we ate out, but it seemed to have everything you could want. Beds, pillows, etc were all comfy. Son ended up sleeping on the couch he liked it so much. Older house, so wooden floors in bedroom were squeaky during midnight bathroom trips, but otherwise fine. One bathroom with 4 people was a bit challenging, but not a big deal. We had great weather - might have gotten a bit of cabin fever if we were stuck inside all day for multiple days but it was cozy for our needs. My husband went out early each morning to walk on the river trail and enjoy the botanical gardens by the library. Close drive to grocery store and restaurants, as well as downtown Durango. House looks like it needs some attention on the outside, but like I said, was perfect for our vacation.

would not recommend
Needs deep cleaning, sanitization, and air purifier, inadequate lighting, lacked basic cleaning items (vinegar and baking soda would do) The cleaning spray bottle was empty. The bed in 2nd bedroom is poor; front door needs a lock on the inside, the device to open front door is sketchy / tempramental . The pillows were old and malodorous, the sheets were clean but the duvet and shams were soiled. One smelled of perfume and most others were quite smelly and stained. We arrived at night on a very dark street and there was no exterior light available for us. We were not expecting a mansion but cleanliness and safety are essential. Would not recommend. the

Stayed here with my husband and two boys ages 6 and 8. Very nice yard for play. We brought bikes and the street was quiet and safe enough to ride around. The house was clean and comfortable. Location was convenient for a quick drive downtown. We were happy with our stay.

great location, could be much better with a little work
We loved the location near the river path and downtown. There were a few small issues: internet router/connection was different than what was on the welcome email. We were really looking forward to the treehouse but the entrance has been taken down, the property doesnt reflect the pictures listed. Some of the dishes were dirty in the cabinets, the faucet was loose and dripped. Minor stuff but easy to fix, especially for the cost of the rental. Note: there is no cable or TV service, we bought a cheap roku.

The house was sparkling clean when we arrived with nice cool temps for us to come in after a hot day of traveling. Simple home, but very clean and comfortable. Saw a deer run by while drinking coffee outside in the morning. Will definitely return!

Durango library house
Have stayed here before and enjoyed it as before. Some minor issues that could be addressed, need an extra light in living to read by. I actually moved a light from bedroom which was less than ideal. Hinges on gate access to back yard are about to go. Taking trash cans through that gate proved to be tricky.

We were concerned when lock box was hard to open. After several minutes, my husband was able to retrieve the key. When we opened the door, the carpet was very dirty. Not a very good first impression! Other than these two issues, the property was fine. Kitchen, bathroom and bedrooms were clean.

Comfy & Cozy
We thoroughly enjoyed our stay! Plenty of room for the 4 of us with everything we needed stocked. The only thing that we were bummed about was that we couldn’t get the fireplace to open, so we were unable to use it. Not sure if it was. locked or jammed, but it would have been nice to have a fire as it snowed our first night there. Besides that, we loved everything! It was so close to downtown and easily walkable to several places. Would stay here again!

Great location. Bad parking, neighbors take the spaces. Beds/pillows sheets uncomfortable. House/porch needed a good cleaning. Fan in bathroom and back gate not working. Nosy neighbors next door and rowdy college kids on other side. Could be a great house but needs improvement!

Nice location, clean, but HOT in the summer.
House has a great convenient location. Everything was clean. But not an ideal place for a summer stay, Colorado homes need air conditioning in this new era of weather, in the 90’s you could get away with no AC in the summer in Colorado. All the windows don’t open, and some that do don’t have screens. So when you try to cool the house down with two box fans, it doesn’t work too well. Pretty tough to sleep at night, throw in the smoke from the fires and it was a pretty miserable experience. Neighbors are also pretty loud and stay up late, so again, with the windows open, it’s not exactly peaceful. Probably fine in the winter.

Miserable
NO AIR! The house was 82 degrees at 9pm. We decided to leave 8 hours after our arrival. The property manager was extremely hard to get in touch with. Several emails from myself and the Vacasa team were sent. I finally heard from him four days later. Poor customer service! The house also had cleanliness issues, blood stained pillow, coffee pot that had mold on the inside and a moldy shower curtain. I was assured all those issues were taking care of. The managers response to no air was open the windows and let the air circulate. I did receive the refund I requested (I’m appreciative), the house was cute and in a good location. It’s 2018 put in a cooling unit! If not specify there’s NO COOLING UNIT.

Great size for a family of four, perfect location to everything
Loved the nice size of the kitchen, dining room was roomy, lots of lounging space in living room. Bedrooms ok sized, bathroom didn't have any counter space so I used the top of the dresser for my toiletries etc. No AC but we ran the blower which helped. Perfect location 1/2 mile north of downtown and a block from library and Animas River. Saw 4-5 deer in the neighborhood one morning. Wish the treehouse wasn't pictured as there is no ladder and Vacasa did not have one (safety reasons). My little girls were disappointed.

1 block from the Animas River trail. Then go down 1 block to the Animas microbrewery with great beer and food. We were just a few blocks from downtown and the Durango & Silverton train station. If you feel stress in Durango, you need to find another life.

Clean and close to downtown
We had a great visit to Durango and enjoyed staying in this home. It has everything you would need and is much more convenient than staying in a hotel. Nice location. There’s a big Vacation Rental sign in the window and the entire neighborhood (including the mailman) knew we were from out of town. And some of the furniture is a little outdated (kitchen table, bed headboard). Other than that everything was fantastic.

Nice clean simple home
We stayed here with our two little girls, 3 & 4 years old. It was scrubbed clean, and the wee back yard was perfect for the kiddos. Great access to the library and trail along the river. The treehouse in the back would've been cool if it had been finished. We were here during a 4 hour power outage, and we appreciated the flash lights but it would've been nice to have some additional emergency lighting. The kitchen could've used some stocking (no foil, plastic wrap, bags or condiments), but overall it was a really positive experience for us!
