About this property
Highland Sage: Peaceful and Fenced Yard
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 and nice dishware. 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 comfortable - a good night's sleep is key! Evaporative cooling in the Summer also provides for restful nights.
Main Avenue and downtown are an easy 4-block walk, as is the the Nature Trail and Sky Steps that climb up to Fort Lewis Collage and an expansive overview of downtown, the river and train. 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 including no parties and no pets unless included on reservation.
The Highland Sage has dedicated use of the fenced backyard while the other half of the duplex has dedicated use of the front deck, allowing for privacy and each for each of the homes.
With a large entry room for gear storage, extensive kitchen cabinet storage and the backyard to stretch out in, the Highland Sage is very enjoyable for longer stays.

This house is a dream! We stayed almost a week with our two friendly labs and everyone had a great time. The home is extremely well-appointed, with lots of fluffy towels, bath robes, comfy pillows, and nice linens. The locations is just right - a beautiful, quiet historic neighborhood (be sure to stroll down 3rd avenue for the most gorgous old houses) - and an easy 10-minute walk from downtown. The yard was perfect for outdoor eating and dogs to run around. The host was extremely friendly and helpful. We'll be back!
Highland sage was the perfect home for our family of 4. It was centrally located with easy, quick walks to downtown shops and restaurants! Upon checkin, we met Eddie who was cleaning the adjacent unit. He gave EXCELLENT recommendations for restaurants. The home was exceptionally clean and very well stocked for all of our needs. Victoria was a wonderful host and we will definitely be back!
Check-in was easy, all directions were clear, a problem with Wi-Fi password was quickly addressed. The kitchen was like being at home, everything essential, plus more was provided. The big backyard was enjoyed by our dogs and ourselves. There is easy access to any number of bike trails and hiking trails and to the public recreation facility nearby.
The location of house was very convenient and walkable to restaurants and other entertainment. The host was easy to work with, and the home is well equipped to make staying comfortable and easy.
Nice little house!Well equipped and cute. Great yard for my dog. Excellent, mellow location. Victoria, the owner, was awesome - made sure I had everything I needed to be comfortable. She's so kind. I'll be back.
Location was perfect and we loved having a yard for our pups to play in. Only suggestion would be a different couch for the living room. It was too small for three people so someone always had to find a chair or sit on the ground. Otherwise the place was perfect. Loved the location and how it was walking distance to downtown for shopping and food.
This house was INCREDIBLE! Not only location but Victoria was awesome!The house had everything we needed and more. The backyard was a favorite for our dog Jackson and the location was a short walk to downtown, one of our favorite places. I would recommend it to everyone and we will be back. I can't say enough good about it!!!!
Loved the location of the property. It was easy walking distance to downtown main street or the Skysteps. The host was great she stayed in touch making sure everything was good for us. The home was clean and comfortable with a wonderful backyard to enjoy a cookout. We will definitely stay here again the next time we are in Durango
This is a great location in Durango and the host (Victoria) is so helpful and sweet. The layout of the unit is a little tight in the kitchen but the backyard was great for our two dogs and we managed just fine. The street is quiet, the neighbors kind, also a very walkable location to local restaurants/shops. Definitely recommend staying here or in any other of Victoria’s rental properties.
We’ve been coming to Durango for nearly 20 years for both work and vacation. We chose Victoria’s place for this trip because we were traveling with our granddaughter and our dog, and our usual accommodations weren’t the right fit.This home exceeded our expectations. Its location is fantastic—just about a 10-minute walk to Main Avenue with all the restaurants, shops, and downtown activities. For our pup, the fully enclosed backyard was a huge bonus. It’s spacious enough to play fetch and gave us complete peace of mind.Victoria has truly thought of everything. There are hooks, storage, and thoughtful organizational touches exactly where you need them. I’m especially particular about having places to tuck things away and keep the living spaces uncluttered, and this home delivered. The laundry/mudroom was an unexpected highlight. It easily held all of our gear, wagon, towels, shoes, and outdoor equipment after our busy days exploring.The evaporative cooler kept the house comfortable even on the warmer afternoons. There are plenty of fans, extra bedding, plush towels, and beautiful natural light throughout the home thanks to windows in every room.It’s clear this home has been thoughtfully prepared for guests. We never found ourselves wishing for anything—it was comfortable, well-equipped, and made for a wonderful stay. We look forward to returning for a future stay.
This home is cozy and comfortable with a tremendous backyard. We slept great and spent most of our waking hours in the backyard, reading, while our little dog ran around. Everything in the home is modern and clean. The appliances all work great and we never ran out of hot water. The yard is well-maintained and free of weeds. The parking area is private, located at the back of the house, just outside the back gate. Trash and recycling bins are easily accessible and bear resistant. The area is pedestrian and pet friendly with shops and restaurants less than a 10-minute walk from the home. Everyone is polite and friendly.The owner is wonderful and quickly answers texts or emails. We plan to make this our frequent vacation destination.
We really enjoyed our rental experience. The owner was lovely, accommodating in many ways and the home was in the perfect location! We will definitely visit this property again.
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.
