Charming open layout retreat w/prime location in downtown Durango

Stay in the heart of downtown Durango at Jarvis #202, a charming one-bedroom condo in the historic Jarvis Building on Main Avenue. Recently remodeled with modern updates while retaining the character of the historic building, this cozy retreat puts restaurants, breweries, shops, galleries, the Durango & Silverton Narrow Gauge Railroad, and the Animas River within easy walking distance.

At approximately 434 square feet, Jarvis #202 makes the most of its compact layout while providing everything you need for a comfortable stay. The inviting living area offers a relaxing place to unwind after a day exploring the San Juan Mountains, while the open layout keeps the kitchen and living spaces connected. Settle in with a movie, catch up on the day's adventures, or simply enjoy having a comfortable place to relax in the center of town.

The fully equipped kitchen includes a refrigerator, oven, stovetop, microwave, dishwasher, coffee maker, toaster, cookware, and other essentials for preparing meals at home.

The Animas River and scenic river trail are also nearby, offering opportunities for walking and biking along the water.

When you're ready to venture beyond downtown, the surrounding San Juan Mountains offer year-round opportunities for hiking, mountain biking, fishing, skiing, and sightseeing. Return to Jarvis #202 at the end of the day and enjoy the convenience of having your downtown home base close to everything you want to experience.

Great Base

Perfect location to anchor your Durango vacation. Walking distance to amazing food and breweries. A few blocks from the train too! The parking is a huge bonus as you don’t need to worry about finding long term parking or feed meters. The unit is nicely equipped in a historical building. It was clean and Vacasa was responsive to text messages. Being right in the heart of Historic Durango, you will get to enjoy the evening bustle, especially on weekends. Weekdays it becomes a quiet town. Definitely would book here again

Convenient but not recommended for relaxing

The location was convenient to shops and restaurants. However, it is across the street from a bar and the music was really loud. If you are a light sleeper, this is not the place for you. I won't be returning.

Relaxing location

The only problem we had was with people above us. I contacted vacasa chat asking if they had the ability to reach out to bldg owner to ask renter/tenant to please stop stomping truly from sun up to late late evening. I was told they could not and I needed to talk to them myself. We chose to tuff it out except the last night it went on all night long. Sounded like remodeling or something, loud bangs thumps and heavy foot steps all night. This was only down side. Other than that the apt was clean, quaint,and close to historic dist. Walk to great food, drinks and shopping.

Location, location, location...

My wife and I just spent 3 nights in this charming and recently renovated condo, and thoroughly enjoyed our stay. It's location right down town made it easy to walk to shops and restaurants, and was very convenient to both Highways 160 and 550 for out of town excursions. The condo is well appointed, although we would have liked to have a luggage racks to put our suitcases on. Several other reviews mentioned the noise coming from the bar next door, but we didn't have any problems with it...however we were there on Sunday, Monday and Tuesday nights. Our only issue overall was that the instructions to get in the unit were poorly written and as a result, we had to call management to have them help us. The phone connection was horrible, so hearing (and understanding) the agent made for a frustrating check in experience. My wife and I agreed that we would definitely stay in this delightful condo the next time we are in scenic Durango!

Great Location

The location is excellent. Directly on Main Street where you can walk to restaurants/bars, shops and the Durango Silverton narrow gauge train station. The unit is well appointed and updated. The ceiling/walls are not well insulated for sound (it is a historic building). You can hear the trains, people above walking around and the bar across the street can be loud. If you go to bed early that could be an issue. It was not for us because we enjoyed late nights in town. The one problem we had was that in all the Vacasa communications they only provided the electric door code for the unit but did not provide the four digit mechanical door code for the lock box to get into the building. We tried calling Vacassa but after holding for an excessively log time we hung up. We were lucky to have run into the cleaning lady entering the building who had the lock box code, otherwise we would have been stuck outside the building. If you rent this unit, make sure you receive the four digit lock box code. In summary, you can't beat the location and we would stay there again.

We were pleased with the location of the Jarvis building apartment in Durango, Colo. It was reasonably comfortable but the sofa bed was too stiff for true rekaxing. There were nomother side chsirs bsides the sofamade for a convenient walk to all things in the historic center of town: shops, restaurants, the train etc. The kitchen was one of the more fully stocked ones we have encountered in our travels in terms of the array of kitchen dishes and cookware provided. One thing lacking was a chest of drawers for things that were not suited for be hung in the closet. Unfortunately, the stacking cubes in the closet that might have served this purpose were otherwise filled with extra blankets snd pillows. The security system worked perfectly. We did not use the common patio enclosure. There was bsr noise frm across the street on the weekend as some have noted. The TV instructions re usi g the csble system were not good. The wifi also had to be refreshed which seemed took overnugh
