Purple Juniper: Heart of Downtown, Sunny Front Patio, Welcoming and Comfortable

With the Purple Juniper as your home base in Durango, you will be able to park your car and walk everywhere in town. With a five-minute walk, arrive at the heart of downtown and restaurants, shops, and the Durango Silverton Narrow Gauge Railraod.

The home itself is an intimate and inviting half-duplex f faces a sunny and quiet neighborhood street. It is cozy with an open floor plan with an updated bathroom and kitchen. The kitchen and living room are connected by a granite island with three seats. Additional dining seating in warmer months is a four-seat table on the front deck. The bedrooms have a queen bed in one room and two twins in the second room. All beds are solid, plush, and comfortable. Evaporative cooling in the Summer additionally provides for restful nights.

The adjacent unit's primary access is from the back of the house, while Purple Juniper's access is from the front, with dedicated use of the front patio seating, and grill.

In addition to Main Avenue and downtown, hiking and biking trails including the Nature Trail and Sky Steps within a few blocks of the home. The neighborhood is pedestrian and dog-friendly and the block on which Purple Juniper resides is especially quiet and peaceful.

Guests are welcome to bring up to two pups, provided they don't get on furniture and have a low-key disposition given the pedestrian nature of the neighborhood.

Feel free to also check out the executive rental next-door, the Highland Sage, which is a three-bedroom home with similar amenities. I look forward to hosting you at this peaceful, downtown home

Awesome Stay in Durango!
We loved our time at the Purple Juniper! Super cozy and clean for our family of 4 and one pup. The owner was so kind to reach out to make sure we were comfortable and had everything we needed after we checked in. The check out process was also amazing as Victoria wants you to enjoy your morning and not do too many chores for check out! That was refreshing and relaxing! Thank you Victoria and we will be back :)

Perfect place in Durango!
Our trip to Durango was amazing and Purple Juniper was the perfect place to stay! I've stayed in many VRBO properties and Purple Juniper is one of the best. This place is absolutely adorable and has everything you need for your stay. This trip was myself, my husband and my two teenage kids. Purple Juniper worked well for us because there were two bedrooms and the second bedroom my kids stayed in had two twin beds so nobody had to sleep on the couch. Purple Juniper is the front unit of this duplex. We had the front porch and the other unit had use of the backyard. We spent every evening hanging out on the porch. It was nice and quiet. We met the people staying in the other unit as they use the front porch to access their front door. They were the nicest people and we talked with them every day. Purple Juniper is a couple blocks from Main St. We easily walked down to Main St where all the shops and restaurants are. The unit was very clean and well put together. The owner, Victoria, is amazing. She checks in on you and makes sure everything is going well. It was refreshing because sometimes you never hear from a VRBO owner or manager. You just show up and hope the place is actually there. lol. There was plenty of parking. We parked right in front of the unit every day. We also saw a deer right on the property! Being from AZ we don't see that kind of stuff. I highly recommend Purple Juniper. We will definitely be staying again next time we come to Durango.

Perfect Escape: VRBO's Charm and Comfort Combined
Excellent location for a Durango stay. I was able work during the day both on the bar inside and the outdoor porch area. The walk to downtown is so easy and convenient. AND very quiet. Victoria was the perfect host, she made sure all the essentials and BEYOND were available, even checked in during my stay to ensure all needs were being met. My son is a FLC student, he popped in before and after classes, making the location perfect for those visiting students. The furniture and bed were very comfortable. The kitchen is fully stocked with all the cooking and dining items you need. I really enjoyed sitting outside in the evening with a glass of wine watching the neighbors walk by. The Purple Juniper will be my go-to stay in Durango.

Lovely Durango Stay
The location of Purple Juniper was what attracted us to this property. It is in a quiet neighborhood with an easy walk to downtown. Add to that the wonderful front deck, the lovely accommodations, and excellent communication with Victoria, and it is a place I will hope to book when we visit again. We highly recommend!

Nice place!
The property is in a great location within walking distance to virtually all points of interest in the downtown area. It is also in a very quiet neighborhood. The kitchen is well stocked with useful items rather than just “stuff” as is often found. All in all a very nice place to stay and I highly recommend it.

Amazing location!!!
We adored this property and loved the location of this home so much that we are now looking to buy in the same neighborhood! We were able to walk everywhere we needed to (downtown, Hogsback, Fort Lewis, City Market…). The home was clean and well stocked. Victoria was amazing. She contacted us throughout our stay to make sure all was well and we didn’t need anything. We totally recommend the Purple Juniper house. Thanks for everything Victoria!
