Our city view rentals in Durango, Colorado sit above the rooftops of a real Old West downtown — close enough to walk to dinner on Main Avenue, high enough to watch the lights come on. If being in the middle of town matters more to you than the view itself, compare our downtown Durango vacation rentals too, then filter the city-view homes below and pick your dates.

We had a wonderful experience staying at Animas Valley View in Durango! The location was perfect, nestled in a beautiful area with easy access to local attractions and outdoor activities. The host was incredibly welcoming, providing us with helpful tips and recommendations for our stay. The property itself was clean, cozy, and well-equipped, making us feel right at home. We especially loved the charming decor and the easy access to skiing at Purgatory and dinners in downtown Durango. Overall, a fantastic place to unwind and explore Durango. Highly recommend!

Beautiful cabin that is updated with great features and plenty of space. It has everything you need inside from games and puzzles to kitchenware to plenty of towels and pillows. The hosts are very helpful and responsive. The location is perfect because you feel like you are out of the wilderness, but yet still so close to everything to do in Durango. Our group had adults and kids, and they place was great for all of us. Would love to stay here again!!

Quite nights, clean, great location to downtown and central spot to hitting all the scenic places nearby.
Why Stay Somewhere with a City View
Downtown Durango is a National Historic District, so the view out your window is red brick, Victorian storefronts, and the Animas Valley behind it.
Walk to Main Avenue
Restaurants, breweries, and shops are a few blocks away. Start with what is worth eating downtown.
Main Avenue After Dark
Storefront lights and the glow off the brick make this view better at night than it is at noon.
The Train Runs Through It
The Durango & Silverton Narrow Gauge Railroad steams out of the depot downtown every morning.
Condos and Upper-Floor Flats
City views usually mean condos and vacation flats rather than cabins.
Arrive on Your Own Schedule
No front desk to catch before it closes with our self check-in rentals.
Valley Views Behind the Rooftops
Look past the brick and you still get the Animas Valley and the ridge-lines that close in the town.
Historic Downtown Durango Starts at Your Door
Historic downtown Durango runs about a dozen walkable blocks along Main Avenue, with the Strater Hotel anchoring the middle of it. You can spend a morning in the shops, an afternoon on the Animas River, and an evening working through the local breweries without ever moving your car.

What will I actually see from a city view rental?
Downtown rooftops and Main Avenue, with the Animas Valley and the surrounding ridge-lines behind them. Upper-floor units get the most of it.
-
Can I walk to restaurants and shops?
Yes. Most city view rentals sit within a few blocks of Main Avenue. Start with our Durango restaurant guide and our shopping guide.
-
Is parking included?
Parking varies by property, so check the listing details for the home you are booking. If you want covered parking, filter for rentals with a garage.
-
What is the difference between a city view rental and a downtown rental?
A city view rental looks out over town; a downtown rental sits in town. Plenty of homes are both. Compare our downtown Durango vacation rentals to see the difference.
-
How and where do I check in?
You go straight to the home you booked and use either a door code or a lockbox. About 30 days before your stay we email a guest information sheet with the property address and access codes, once your balance is paid in full and your rental agreement is signed. For Tamarron units, check-in is at the front desk.
