Vacation rentals are allowed. From the owners: “We loved living here. Far from the madding crowd & heat of Phoenix, we found Durango to be the elixir we were looking for; a place of profound beauty and serenity. We treasure most our many nature walks, with our dog Stogie, right in our own “backyard” at Taylor Ranch. The peace & quiet of many acres to just explore & enjoy provided many hours of “the good life” for both man & dog.
