Dog-Friendly

The Gable House Inn is dog friendly! We welcome one dog per room with a weight limit of 40 pounds. Not only can you and your dog enjoy the historic house and our gardens, but you can also experience Durango's many dog-friendly watering holes and the best off-leash dog park in the country with access to the Animas River.

Durango Off-Leash Dog Park

Durango features one of the best off-leash dog parks in the country with open fields, access to the Animas River, hiking trails, and more. Dogs love Durango almost as much as Durango loves dogs. You can't visit Durango with your furry friend without a stop at the Durango Dog Park. Pedestrian access is 0.1 miles west of the intersection of Highway 160 West and Highway 550, on the South side of Highway 160 West. There is limited parking in the dirt parking lot, but it's only a short walk from downtown Durango after you cross Camino del Rio.

Dog Friendly Bars and Restaurants

Durango is host to an assortment of dog-friendly restaurants and bars. We love 11th Street Station because there are a ton of local food trucks, and they often feature live music and local events. One of our favorite parts of this destination is the largest dog-friendly patios in downtown Durango. 11th Street Station is only a few blocks from the Gable House Inn, and just like us, they are super dog-friendly.

Shop Local and Help Animals

Shopping local is one of the best ways to be sustainable, and its one of the best things about being in Durango. The Gable House Inn is dedicated to dogs and all our furry friends. When visiting Durango, we encourage you to go thrifting at the La Plata County Humane Society Thrift Store - only a short drive from the Gable House Inn with access from the Animas River Trail - where all proceeds benefit the animals.
