About this house rental
The Julia Rose West is a month to month fully furnished rental and is the west side of a duplex of an historic home in Old Town Durango. We have a city permitted short term rental on the East side of this duplex. We can send you the listing if you would like to see that as an option.
You will be walking into a spotlessly cleaned and disinfected space at your check-in.
There are handrails at the front and back entrances.
The Julia Rose is named after our middle daughter and the beautiful Pink Rose bushes in the front and backyard. Built in 1898, this historic Victorian home has recently been updated with contemporary elements and has a nice blend of old with the new. There is a remodeled kitchen and bath and newly finished wood flooring, paint, window coverings, furnishings and appliances including a washer/dryer and very quiet dishwasher.
The Living Room is the largest area in the home and has a Queen Murphy Bed, a sofa, side chair and a separate desk area. There is a wall mounted mini split for A/C and a furnace for heat in colder months.
The Kitchen has a granite counter with a counter height table that seats three. The kitchen is fully furnished so you can create anything from a gourmet dinner to a smoothie.
The bedroom adjoins the bathroom and is very small but cozy and comfortable with a Queen plush mattress and designer bedding and duvet cover, and a closet and dresser.
The Bathroom is also very small and is tiled with a shower/tub so you can soak and relax after a long day out. The view from the tub is like being in a 'secret garden'. There is a window unit A/C for hotter months.
PLEASE NOTE: The bathroom is very small and guests have to walk into the bedroom to get to the bathroom. It may not be a good fit for people who have difficulties in tight spaces.
The short term rental on the East side of the property have dedicated use of the front porch. The Julia Rose West has her own back patio with a propane grill access and outdoor furniture to relax in privacy and comfort. The entrances are separate. There is extra sound insulation between the two units. We are a strict non smoking building.
There is space for one car in the parking lot with a back and front door entrance if you prefer to park in the street. The flat screen TV we provide cable internet with the highest speeds available via Spectrum Cable with TV via Amazon Firestick. This house is in the prime downtown location in a quiet historic neighborhood off of the busy Third Avenue. Main Street is three blocks away and you will be right in the center of all of the fabulous restaurants and downtown coffee shops and shopping.
Upon arrival, you will enter the house with a coded lock and grab the key for the back door, The front door is closer to unpacking and unloading and the back door is closer to the off the street parking.
You can settle in by having a cool drink on the back patio or walking a few blocks to Main Avenue to relax at one of the coffee shops or brewpubs.
Please note this is a non-smoking unit, which includes marijuana smoking. We are very strict with our non-smoking policy.
We do allow dogs with pre-approval on a case by case basis.

We spent a month and couldn't have asked for a better location. The neighborhood is beautiful and conveniently located within walking distance to restaurants, grocery stores - all forms of shopping. The unit was tidy and clean with all the amenities you could ask for. Additionally it was great to have on property parking. I would highly recommend.

Sarah’s place was perfect for my husband and I who were working remote while exploring Durango! You can beat the location and the house has everything we needed for our extended stay. Karen took care of the house and was wonderful to work with. Would definitely stay here again for a short or long term stay. Thanks, Sarah!

This is my 8th rental in 2021 as I am on an extended WFH road trip… and since I count heavily on others reviews when booking I will be as honest and kind as possible here.
On the positive side, the location of this home is utterly perfect. You are close to main street with all it’s great restaurants and close to numerous hiking/biking options. Parking in front of the house is usually available too. The kitchen dishes and glassware were spotless.
On the flip side, I did have some issues that I feel it’s important to mention. Upon arrival, I was disappointed to find that the comforter was visibly dirty and the towels were crunchy. So I spent a few hours doing laundry so I would feel more comfortable and clean in the home. The sheets were washed, just not entirely clean, as I found ‘those’ hairs there and in the bathtub.
The windows should NOT be opened in this house as it is unsafe. One shattered on me as I tried to open it. This is problematic not only because it created a bloody mess and cuts for me, but also because it becomes stuffy inside when the weather is warm. The window AC unit is in the main room, so to sleep near it, you’re on the murphy bed. Otherwise, you could sleep in the actual bedroom with the back screen door open, but there is a large hole in the screen. I found the bed to be concave and bought a mattress topper from Walmart on day 2.
For those who work from home, the wifi is not fast & went out temporarily 5 out of 10 days I used it. One day there was an area-wide wifi provider outage and I had to go to the library to work. That’s out of Sarah’s control obviously.
Sarah communicated with me about issues I was having, and I did appreciate that. In the future, I’d recommend that the property manager reach out before stopping by, or at the very least, knock before entering. Soon after I arrived, she walked in unannounced, which alarmed me and my dog, and frankly, it was frightening and completely disrespectful. She continued to try to talk with me as my dog was barking at her and I finally had to ask her to call me to talk further if needed. While I realize she was trying to be friendly & welcome me, entering without knocking is pretty shocking. Overall, great location, not my favorite stay.
