About this property

All new historic charmer in heart of Durango

Walk to the very best of historic downtown Durango when you escape to this beautifully renovated condo, where you'll enjoy brand new furnishings and decor, a communal garden patio with a gas grill, and a truly unbeatable location within steps of numerous restaurants, art galleries, breweries and trails! Plus, you'll be just ten short blocks to the historic Durango-Silverton tourist train station.

This single-floor condo is located in the 'circa 1887' Jarvis building on Main Avenue, right in the midst of old town Durango. Relax on the back patio as the historic narrow Gauge Train passes by, take an easy stroll to the farmers market (two blocks south) or perhaps a brisk walk or bike ride along the Animas River Trail (two blocks west). Then hop in the car for an unforgettable day of outdoor adventure at Purgatory Resort (27 miles north) or Mesa Verde National Park (35 miles west).

Freshly remodeled with all new furnishings and fixtures, the bright & inviting living space offers comfort and luxury in a decidedly relaxed atmosphere. Spend restful nights on the king-size Beautyrest mattress, or enjoy the option of a queen-size memory foam sleeper sofa. Begin each morning by preparing breakfast and catching the morning news on the Smart TV (with cable).

When you're not rafting, fishing for trout in the famed Animas, or stopping by the Durango Welcome Center (two blocks south), you'll enjoy the convenience of free WiFi, coin-operated laundry facilities, reserved off-street parking, and secure coded access to the building at all hours.

Enjoy a front row seat to Durango's charms in every season - book this beautiful condo today!

This is an updated apartment within a historic building in the bear of Durango. The location is perfect for getting around town and the place was recently renovated. The bed was very comfy and so appreciated after long, active days!

The apartment and location were great. The only drawback was there is only one key and two of us so two keys would have been much better.

Location was great. Place could use a refresh. The big complaint was lack of info on how to get into the unit after hours. The bldg is supposed to lock at 7pm and on 3 occasions it was locked around 5pm. We did have a key to access back of bldg. But we did not take it with us one day as we were returning way before 7pm one night. AFTER 3 nights there we were finally told how to access the key fob that allowed us entry into the bldg. This information should be given to guests. If the bldg posts it locks front door from 7 am - 7 pm then THOSE should be the hours!
