Jarvis #202 one-bedroom on Main Avenue, walk to the Narrow Gauge Railroad
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 condo features one bedroom and one bathroom and is comfortably suited for two guests. After a day of hiking, biking, sightseeing, or exploring downtown, retreat to the comfortable bedroom for a restful night's sleep.

Step outside onto the private patio to enjoy some fresh mountain air or take a break from exploring. You'll also have free parking for one vehicle, a valuable convenience in downtown Durango. A washer, self check-in, and other practical amenities add to the ease of your stay.
One of the biggest advantages of Jarvis #202 is the ability to experience Durango on foot. Start your morning with coffee downtown, browse the shops and galleries along Main Avenue, grab a local brew, or walk to the historic Durango & Silverton Narrow Gauge Railroad. 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.

In the heart of downtown Durango, the Jarvis is a great place to stay. This property is just steps from Main Street and all the bars, stores, and restaurants you could possibly want.

Perfect Location
We l8ved here historic building with modern amenities. Located right in the heart of town, walking distance to everything!
My husband and I stayed here for a few days to enjoy the beautiful changing of the leaves as well as take in a few mountain excursions. Wonderful rental! Perfect location if you want to be in the center of The Durango nightlife. Highly recommend. We would definitely stay here again.
My husband and I had a 2 night stay. Condo is in a great location and had parking for one car. We arrived to find a clean nicely decorated condo with everything you could need. Walking distance to everything. If we ever find ourselves in Durango again we would definitely stay here again.

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.
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!

Liked: Check-in
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
Check in was simple & we received a text that we could check in early. The kitchen had everything you would need to fix big meal or just something simple. The unit was very clean. We enjoyed our stay and would definitely stay again.
This is a very clean space in a great location -- steps away from restaurants and shops! Our toddler loved the ice cream spot around the block.The bar across the street is very loud on the weekends (and we live in a city).
Location location. All amenities including Kleenex, kitchen stuff, etc. Very comfortable king bed, great pillows, great TV and awesome shower (pressure and hot water). Be sure to punch door code in VERY slowly. Loved the train whistle, kind of nostalgic.
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.

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.
Communication for check in could have been much better
Condo was fine. Sink in bathroom did not drain properly - very slow all 3 days we were there. Biggest issue was check in. Location of the property and how to get into the room was explained well and the 10 digit code to open the unit door was accurate. What was not mentioned AT ALL was that when you first entered the building, you could walk through a set of doors, but you needed a fob to get into the actual building. Nothing was explained that there are lock boxes on the framed area of the first set of doors (to your back when you enter) and you needed the letter of the lock box and a 4 digit code to open it to obtain the fob to enter the building and keys to open the dead bolt to your room. This was about 5:30 on a Friday night and fortunately someone answered the 800 number we were provided. The anxiety that went along with improper/incomplete instructions certainly could have been avoided. Also, if you stay on a weekend, know that the bar across the street doesn't close until 2 am and music is blaring right up to closing!

Great for Two People!
Can’t beat the location! Comfortable and well-appointed. Wouldn’t stay there with more than two people though.
