House Or Rental
Sam and I stayed at the Riverhouse in June 2021. It's a wonderful old historic house with four Airbnb units inside of it. It overlooks the Animas River, you can walk to downtown, and it takes just 10 minutes to get to the Nilsson family home via car. We highly recommend it as an affordable overnight option!
Hotel
If you prefer not to stay in an Airbnb or VRBO, the DoubleTree is one of the closest hotels located to downtown. Please use the link below to automatically apply a discount for your stay.
Hotel
If you're looking for history and ambiance, The General Palmer Hotel is gorgeous and the location—at the very heart of downtown Durango—can't be beat.
Flight
We recommend flying straight into Durango if you can. American Airlines and United Airlines both offer flight to DGO with layovers in Dallas-Fort Worth (DFW), Denver (DEN) and Phoenix (PHX).
Flight
If you'd rather fly into Denver, expect about a 6-hour drive to Durango. (Don't worry, it's stunning.)
Flight
Driving from Albuquerque to Durango will take you about 4 hours. Say hello to the high desert for us!
