Purple Juniper: Downtown witth Sunny Front Deck

With the Purple Juniper 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 Purple Juniper is an intimate and inviting half-duplex facing a quiet, sunny neighborhood street. It is cozy with an open floor plan and 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. A good night's sleep is key! Evaporative cooling in the Summer additionally 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 Purple Juniper resides is especially quiet and peaceful.

Guests are welcome to bring two pups, provided they stay off of furniture and aren't big barkers. No cats (sorry). Note that immediately 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.

Two things to consider in deciding whether this home is ideal for your family. First, it is a cozy space with 650 SF total. Second, the Purple Juniper does not have a yard. The other half of the duplex, which is a monthly rental, has a yard, but it is dedicated to that other other half. Likewise, the Purple Juniper has dedicated use of the front deck. This allows for privacy and ease for each of the homes. It means as well, however, that staying at the Purple Juniper with pups involves taking them out for walks, not an unpleasant task in the pedestrian-friendly neighborhood, but worth considering.

Absolutely wonderful home! It’s easily walkable to nearly everything in Durango. The house was SUPER clean and nice, and perfect size for anywhere from 1 to 4 people. Victoria, the host, was wonderful to work with and was extremely responsive. What a great place! I come to Durango regularly, and will definitely be staying here again if I can.

The home was clean, warm, and cozy—ideal for a family of three, with heated bathroom tile adding extra comfort. It was well stocked with extra blankets, towels, and washcloths, and had everything needed for a home-away-from-home stay. The host was very hospitable, and the location is a short walk to downtown. 10/10 — I would gladly stay here again.

We absolutely loved this charming duplex in the heart of town. Everything felt within easy reach - morning coffee, great restaurants, shops, entertainment, and even scenic trails just a short walk away. The location made it easy to enjoy Durango, with the resort only about 20–25 minutes away. The property manager was incredibly responsive and attentive, making sure our stay was seamless. We would happily stay here again. Thank you!
