About this property

Modern design retreat in Downtown Durango

The Stonehouse Loft is a brand new building, built from the ground up in 2015. Designed by your host, with plans drawn by Jess Wilton, a great local Durango architect, it was built by people (your host again!) and for people who love modern design. The Loft features radiant heated concrete floors throughout, and a modern, bright, but cozy vibe. Located a half block off of Main Avenue in downtown Durango, you can walk to all the shops, restaurants, galleries and bars in minutes from this centrally located apartment. A king size bed, lovely shower and bathroom, and well equipped kitchen provide you with the comforts and conveniences of home. Close to mountain biking, hiking, the river and the Durango Silverton Narrow gauge railway. This property puts you close to everything Durango has to offer. (DURANGO VACATION RENTAL PERMIT #15-010) ...There is off-street parking for one medium-sized or small car.

Weekend getaway - exactly what we needed
We loved staying at this modernist apartment - very clean and hip for these two “old timers”. Located a block off Main St., we walked everywhere this weekend - restaurants, bars and shopping. Durango is a fun town and this property made our weekend memorable. I would highly recommend staying her. Owner George will treat you right - you wine disappointed

Durango Christmas
Great experience! Very clean AND easy to keep clean. Spacious, lots of light and good views. We cook and found the kitchen was excellent! A block off Main Avenue and the great restaurants and coffee shops. Location of apartment is on a service street so there is no noisy traffic. Space for one car off street parking.We had six people over for supper and was comfortable and easy. Plenty of convenient storage space. It was just right for us! (our only 5 star rating for the 2024)

Perfect lodging in central Durango
We really enjoyed our stay at George’s place. Location was perfect for exploring Durango (nice to leave the car parked and walk everywhere!). The shared backyard was great to sit out in and enjoy the love music from Buckley Park. Great stay overall!

Durango getaway over Thanksgiving weekend
I had the pleasure of staying in the unit from Thursday until Sunday morning. I was the only one staying there, but my adult sons came over for dinner. The gathering space was comfortable and open. The natural light during the day was delightful and the evening ambience was enjoyable as well. George was easy to connect with when I had questions. The space was clean and well appointed. The modern lines are both contemporary and comfortable at the same time.

Durango Visit
The space was like living in a modern sculpture . Very Cool. The location 1/2 block off main was very convenient and private. Parking spot was very helpful as Durango has every street metered. Only surprise was there was no TV but after a day of "TV Detox" it was great listened to a lot of music and was less stressed than usual. Host was very responsive and welcoming.

Right in All the Action!
We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at this unique modern/rustic condo. It is one of the coolest places I have ever stayed in. I would highly recommend it as it is one block off Main Street and everything you want to do downtown is totally walkable. Wow! Amazing!

About the host

Hosted by George Schmidt

Host profile image
I moved to Durango right out of high school in 1991. I waited tables at a restaurant for three months before deciding I needed to do more. I went to college, and then lived and worked in NYC for twenty years before finally making it back to Durango in 2010.
I'm an Artist, and a builder, and the Stonehouse Loft gave me the opportunity to bring these two skills together. The Loft is a completely new building which I built from the ground up to be a modern, comfortable and convenient downtown hideaway. I love mountain biking on the trails around town, hiking, backpacking, rafting, and exploring the deserts and mountains with my partner Amber Johnson, a Durango Native (that rare breed!) that i'm lucky enough to share my adventures with.

Why they chose this property

The Stonehouse Loft is a unique downtown property that is super close to Main Street, but provides a remarkable feeling of seclusion, even in the heart of busy downtown Durango. The Stonehouse Loft is a brand new, energy efficient and modern building with radiant heat, on demand hot water, huge windows with abundant natural light, and an open airy feel. There is a large private patio and garden, which is tucked away behind a fence and deck, but that offers views of the large trees in Buckley Park, right across the street. From the Stonehouse Studio you can walk anywhere you might want to go in downtown Durango. All the best restaurants and shops, galleries, bars and grocery stores are just minutes away on foot. All of the Mountain Biking Trailheads are easily accessed from downtown, and are there are literally hundreds of miles of trails you can access directly from the driveway in just a few minutes ride.
