Durango is a charming, historic “Old West” town located in the southwest corner of Colorado and nestled in the San Juan Mountains with the Animas River running through it. Durango is a vacation destination for all ages and all seasons. Summer brings endless hiking, backpacking, mountain biking, fly fishing, and river rafting opportunities. Music in the MountainsDurango Independent Film Festival and countless other family festivals are always a big hit. The Durango and Silverton Narrow Gauge Railroad is one of the nation’s most popular tourist attractions and it also has special themed trips throughout the year.

Fall travelers enjoy perfect weather and picturesque scenery for continued outdoor pursuits and excellent photographic opportunities. The fall colors are a kaleidoscopic feast for the eyes and one of the most popular times to visit the area.

Our Durango vacation rentals are comprised of a variety of private accommodations including cabins, historic homes, luxury homes, condos, townhomes, and ski-in/ski-out accommodations.  We manage vacation homes and AirBnB type accommodations located in downtown Durango, secluded cabins, and ski condos and homes at Purgatory Ski Resort.  Browse our wide selection of vacation rentals and find the perfect home for your next Colorado vacation!

Your Durango Area Expert

One of my favorite things to do is to introduce Durango and the Durango Experience to guests from all over the world. It’s an amazing place and one that I am fortunate to call home. The advantage of a VRC rental property is our local knowledge and the real-time, lightning fast, attention to all the details associated with caring for our clients’ properties and homes and the guests who rent them. We know this area because we live here. We know how to get things done because we are part of this community. This level of care for our clients’ properties translates into amazing guest experiences for those who visit here. Whether you are in Durango for the adventure, the history of the “wild west,” or just to enjoy the natural world that surrounds us here, we welcome you. And we are committed to providing an amazing experience for you.

Discover destinations

It’s unusual to find a vacation home of this quality – the craftsmanship, amenities, decor, features. The three-level home provides privacy for everyone, as well as welcoming community spaces with seating for all and flat-screen TVs. For those who like to cook, a beautifully outfitted chef’s kitchen awaits.Less than a mile from the Purgatory ski area, a stone’s throw from hiking and biking trails, close to Engineer Mountain (for those who like to climb) – the location seems to be one for all seasons. We spent a snowy Thanksgiving at the property and are looking forward to coming back this summer. Kudos to the owners and management! - Vacation Rental Collective
