Purple Juniper: Downtown, 4 Blocks to Main, Sunny Front Deck

The Purple Juniper is an updated and inviting half-duplex four blocks to Main Ave. The home 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 the Summer 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 are within a few blocks of the home. The neighborhood is pedestrian and dog-friendly and the block on which Highland Sage sits is especially quiet and peaceful.

When you arrive, you will have a combination to enter the home. I am readily available to help as much as needed or leave you in privacy per your preference.

Guests are welcome to bring a dog, provided the pup does not get on furniture or beds; the fee is $75 per stay per dog. For stays of only two nights, this is reduced to $50 per dog. No more than two dogs are permitted. Friendly and low-key dispositions are best suited for the pedestrian orientation of the neighborhood.

You may be interested in also checking 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 one or both of homes in this peaceful, downtown neighborhood.

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.

Great Durango home in downtown grid
The property manager communicated well. There were plenty of dishes, glasses, towels and extra bedding. The location is fantastic - easy walk to shops, bars and restaurants. Free street parking near (often right in front of) property.

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.
