About this property

Highland Sage: Downtown Oasis, Large Fenced Yard, Pleasant and Comfortable

With the Highland Sage as your home base in Durango, you will be able to park your car and walk everywhere in town. Walk four blocks and arrive at the heart of downtown with its restaurants, cafes, shops and the Durango Silverton Narrow Gauge Railroad.

The home is a pleasant and comfortable half-duplex with a fully enclosed landscaped back yard with patio and grill. There are three bedrooms and one bath. Kitchen and bath are updated and kitchen is well-equipped with stainless steel pots and pans, nice dishware, and organic staples. The queen bedroom is on one side of the living room and kitchen, and the double and single rooms are on the other side. The twin room contains a desk should guests want a dedicated workspace. The Highland Sage offers plenty of storage in closets, kitchen cabinetry, and a large mudroom which is great for gear storage. The beds are are solid, plush and comfortable. A good night's sleep is key! Evaporative cooling in the Summer also provides for restful nights.

In addition to Main Avenue and downtown, walk several blocks to the Nature Trail and Sky Steps. The neighborhood is pedestrian and dog-friendly and the block on which the Highland Sage resides is especially quiet and peaceful.

Guests are welcome to bring two pups, provided they don't get on furniture and aren't big barkers. No cats (sorry). Note that after booking, you will receive a brief rental agreement to review and sign with basic items such as no parties or events and pet authorization if applicable.

The Highland Sage has dedicated use of the fenced backyard with the other half of the duplex having dedicated use of the front deck, allowing for privacy, ease and predictability for each of the homes. The Highland Sage serves as an executive monthly rental, so is a great choice if you want to settle in for while.

Adorable house in great location

The house is very cute with a great backyard and super-easy walking distance to Main Ave and an in-town hiking trail. House is very clean, kitchen has lots of shelves, and the whole house very pleasant with nice amenities. Definitely our go-to place for future trips to Durango.

Former Peace Corps volunteer and civil engineer. Semi-retired, learning to garden, and lead Bible Study at the local detention center. I love welcoming travelers to this great duplex in the heart of downtown where where you can park the car, relax, and be able to slow down.

Why they chose this property

Great location and simple, peaceful place to spend vacation. Easy walk to all the essentials. Incredible backyard in the Summer and Fall.

What makes this property unique

Ideal location. Five-minute walk to the heart of downtown restaurants, shops and historic train. Fully enclosed, landscaped backyard. Dedicated work space (if not using twin bed for sleep space) overlooking yard. In addition to downtown, the Nature Trail and Sky Steps up to Fort Lewis College are just a few blocks away. Easy launch spot for everything in town and a peaceful place to which to return and relax.
