Perfect

This property was amazing. It has about all one would want if you are looking for a very private and secluded place to Vacation. The views from the porch are amazing. The travel times to local attractions are very manageable. This home is on the top of our list for a return visit. Thanks Lizette and Rick

Family Vacation

We've been coming to Vallecito Lake for almost 30 years, and this is my favorite place we've stayed! The location is beautiful with great views and plenty of room to explore on the property. The house is great and is in a secluded neighborhood away from neighbors. The creek on the property is a nice bonus. Our group of 6 was totally comfortable and enjoyed meals and games on the deck and at the large dining room table. We definitely hope to stay here again!

Over the mountain and through the woods to paradise we go…

If you want to relax, unplug and unwind and or adventure In a mountain paradise that has streams and lakes nearby And incredible mountain and park trails in the San Juan Mountains and national forest, look no further. We rented a jeep and took a long beautiful ride in from Denver over two days and stayed at the property for five days. Aside from just enjoying the spectacular property and the surrounding mountains, lakes and parks; When we got ansi we drove to Durango, adventured at Purgatory, and climbed the Alpine Loop in our Jeep at Silverton. Only regret is Next time will book more time. Lewis Family

Retreat from the Heat!

Just what we wanted - a mountain cabin away from the crowds and with a gorgeous view of the San Juans. Our only visitors were the chipmunks, mule deer, and the woodpeckers nesting above the deck. We totally enjoyed our stay and would love to come back! Such a respite from the heat that we experience in North Texas.

Cabin Retreat

Our family of 6 thoroughly enjoyed our stay! The cabin was clean, spacious, had comfortable beds, and felt like we were the only ones on the mountain! We enjoyed our meals on the deck, and our kids loved walking around the property. The lake marina is just a couple miles away, so we rented a boat for the afternoon one day and had a blast! We also loved the hike at Vallecito Creek. Some intermediate climbs, but amazing views! This area is stunning, the hosts & cabin were perfect, and we would love to come back again!
