The Best Nest. Modern charm at its finest!

This loft apartment just one block from main street is full of character and coziness. It was an easy walk for us to all the downtown coffee shops, shopping, grocery store and restaurants. It’s also really quiet at night, for being so near main street. There is abundant natural light due to perfectly placed windows and skylights. The views from this charmer are better than those we’ve had at vrbo houses further up in the town. The electrical outlets are plentiful, everywhere you need them, no extension cords needed or searching for outlets. It’s filled with original artwork and handmade furtniture by the owner. Hogsback Mountain is perfectly framed by a skylight over the kitchen table. If you work remotely it’s a beautiful view to have over your computer screen. There’s a skylight right over the comfortable bed for stargazing. The kitchen has all the basics, and we easily cooked meals most of our stay. We highly recommend it and will be returning here every year!

Another Great Stay

We've stayed here several times and it never let's us down. All the amenities are there and the wine and flowers are a great touch. George thinks of everything. We love it is walking distance to Taco Libre as well. :) I recommend staying at both of George's properties.

About the host

Hosted by George Schmidt

I moved to Durango right out of high school in 1991. I waited tables at a restaurant for three months before deciding I needed to do more. I went to college, and then lived and worked in NYC for twenty years before finally making it back to Durango in 2010.
I'm an Artist, and a builder, and the Stonehouse gave me the opportunity to bring these two skills together. A gut renovation that I began in 2010 left the historic vibe of the building intact, while allowing me to totally update all the mechanical systems. I love mountain biking on the trails around town, hiking, backpacking, rafting, and exploring the deserts and mountains with my partner Amber Johnson, a Durango Native (that rare breed!) that i'm lucky enough to share my adventures with.

Why they chose this property

The Stonehouse Studio is a unique downtown property that is super close to Main Street, but provides a remarkable feeling of seclusion, even in the heart of busy downtown Durango. A Durango landmark, it was built in the 1890's making it one of the oldest buildings in town. After completion of a major renovation in 2010-12, I completely updated all the systems of the building while retaining the charming vibe of the nineteenth century stone building. There is a large private backyard, which is tucked away behind a fence and deck, but that offers views of the large trees in Buckley Park, right across the street. From the Stonehouse Studio you can walk anywhere you might want to go in downtown Durango. All the best restaurants and shops, galleries, bars and grocery stores are just minutes away on foot. All of the Mountain Biking Trailheads are easily accessed from downtown, and are there are literally hundreds of miles of trails you can access directly from the driveway in just a few minutes ride.
