A Retreat Right in Town
The carriage house was just perfect for us! The neighborhood was safe for walking and close to the river trail. The property had everything you could want and was so well appointed and comfortable. Our dog enjoyed it very much, too. We’d love to come back and stay even longer. There’s so much to do in the area. Kitchen is perfectly stocked for preparing food. Great host and Birdie, the golden retriever!

Cozy and Modern Durango Apartment/Condo!
Surprised at how beautiful and modern/updated this rental was- WOW! Very comfortable bed. Host Joe responded to messages very quickly. Perfect for us with our dog whom we crated when we had to leave him there a few times. Very cozy/warm, clean, and convenient to downtown. We would stay there again!

Perfect location
The carriage house was perfect for us and our dog. We enjoyed walking around the neighborhood and to the river. The location was close to downtown where we enjoyed walking to shops, the food truck park, and the train station. We enjoyed talking to Joe and his wife. Durango is a very special town.

Beautiful town, nice, safe neighborhood. Only two complaints….pics show two black swivel chairs with two ottoman’s in sitting area….hmmm not there? People use Kleenex….put some out…everything else spot on…..the host dog was a real treat…Birdie….owns the place! Ha being that we left our pets at the local pet resort…nice to have Birdie, she waltzs in and we enjoyed her company. Bed was a good one, ac was excellent , patio was a plus and plenty of hot water….update your pics and definitely 10 plus. Oh and Joe, the host let us park in driveway the night before because we headed home at 4am! Recommend the place for sure! Texas Proud!

One of the Best
The loft was just as described. The workmanship and details were superb. The rental is in a great quiet neighborhood with an easy walk to downtown. The back deck was very private and relaxing. We particularly enjoyed the waterfall that was turned on one afternoon as we relaxed in the deck. It made us fell like we were on a mountain stream. Joe was a great host. Being greeted by Birdie was wonderful! We will definitely return if we get back to Durango.

Lovely loft!!
We were pleasantly surprised with the quality construction and beautiful design of this place! Joe, property owner was so great, friendly, welcoming, easy to work with. The home is wonderfully equipped, nice AC, lots of windows for cross breezes if you wish. We loved our evening visits from Birdie, their golden retriever. She is happy to be your fill-in fur companion if you like. Quiet neighborhood, close to downtown and walking/cycling trails. Would highly recommend!

About the host

Hosted by Joe Delling

Host profile image
Both of us attended here at Ft Lewis College and while we have both lived other places neither of us had ever found a place quite like Durango. We have both now Lived in town for more than 25 years. Yona is a nurse at the local hospital and Joe is a fly fishing guide and carpenter. We consider ourselves fortunate to be able to live and raise a family in such a unique location.

Why they chose this property

Ours is one of the few Victorian homes in the neighborhood built in the late 1800s. It required a lot of fixing up but the location and historical nature of the house was just too much for us to pass up. We finished construction on the Carriage house in early 2014 in hopes people would spend their vacations here and also as place for friends and family to stay when they visit.

What makes this property unique

One benefit of the properties location is that it butts to a forested hillside, this means we have no alley or neighbors behind us. The deck of the Carriage house faces this hill and its common to see deer and other wildlife pass through. I think it offers a privacy and feel that's hard to find in a location this close to Main Avenue. Also we have central air conditioning rather than window units to maximize comfort for our guests.
