About this cabin rental
Heiden’s Hideaway, located outside Bayfield, CO in the majestic San Juan Mountains, is the perfect getaway for any season of the year. This 2-story cabin is on 2 acres of serene wilderness, surrounded by tall pine trees in the beautiful community of Forest Lakes, Colorado. Within this community we have Lake Simpatico,(2 miles from the cabin), a private 25 acre lake that is stocked with fish waiting to bite and does not require a fishing license. It is located 6 miles north of Bayfield where you can find amenities such as grocery stores and several restaurants for your added convenience. (Four wheel drive and/or chains necessary during winter months).
The cabin is also located only 20 miles south of Vallecito Lake, one of the largest lakes in Colorado where you can enjoy endless activities such as, hiking, boating, fishing, horseback riding, jet skiing in the summer, ice fishing, skiing, tubing and snow shoeing in the winter. You can also easily enjoy the superb shopping and dining in the historic city of Durango, only 30 miles away.
The cabin is available all year and throughout the hunting season and is located near over a half million acres of public land and big game habitat and is a top pick for hunting Elk, Mule Deer and Turkey. Guided hunting trips are available.
Whether you want to get away from the hustle and bustle and enjoy some truly quiet time to rejuvenate or if you are an outdoors enthusiast and have an adventurous spirit, our home away from home has access to it all.
The cabin is nicely furnished and has all modern conveniences. It features a beautiful covered front porch which is a favorite place to enjoy a morning coffee, take in the beautiful surroundings and watch the wildlife meandering by including deer, elk and if you are real lucky a bear. (Please keep your food indoors and trash in designated containers). Enjoy high ceilings, lots of natural light, two bedrooms and 1 full bathroom. On the first floor you will also find a fully equipped kitchen, a cozy living room with comfy recliners and chairs, ceiling fan, and 47” HD TV.

This property was very nice and we thoroughly enjoyed it. It had a beautiful setting. We loved the cabin. It was very nice with great furnishings and very well stocked with everything one would need. The cabin was a little difficult to find and to come and go daily. The oven was very dirty and needed cleaning which we left a note for the cleaning crew to take care of. We saw deer, wild turkeys.

This was a great place for a quiet little get away. It rained most days which was divine to listen too. The cabin had everything we needed. We went into Bayfield the first night for dinner and then into Durango the other nights. We fixed our own breakfast and lunches.

We loved being hidden in the trees. The cabin is cute and cozy but reevaluate we spent a good amount of time just in the trees. It’s at the top of the neighborhood If you walk further up the mountain you just get deeper into the trees. Hosts were responsive and gave good advice, we had a 4 cylinder car so we probably would have gotten stuck if a storm had hit so that might be something to keep in mind in the winter. And it’s about 30 min to get to downtown Durango but it’s a beautiful drive and worth it.

My wife and I rented the cabin to get away from Houston for our 5th Anniversary. This place is awesome! A peaceful mountain getaway with all the comforts of home. Little did we know that the first snow of the season would come early this year and dump almost 20inches of snow. While it was extremely beautiful, we were so glad we had an AWD SUV to safely navigate back down the mountain. We would come back again and love to do some summer hiking. Thanks for a great hideaway just outside of Durango!

The location was very peaceful while also very convenient to Bayfield, Durango, and many access points to the San Juan Mountains. We enjoyed the amenities, the western decor, and spacious loft for the main bedroom. The fireplace in the living room added to a comfortable and relaxing stay. We would love to visit the area again soon and would definitely choose Heiden's Hideaway again.

We love this cabin however, there were a few problems this year. The toilet needed a wax ring b/c it was leaking on the floor. Also, the toilet ran water all the time. We found mouse pills and chewed up stuff that the mice left. 😟

Loved our stay! Don't let the dirt road scare you. It is well graded and an easy drive. The neighborhood was SOOOOOO Quite I could have slept all day. Would Highly recommend this home

The property was exactly as shown and described. The loft is huge and is an apartment unto itself. The water was hot and the shower was medium to strong. Shauna was always quick to respond to our “out of town” questions. All-in-all… a great stay! Relaxing and quiet. All spots of interest were within easy driving distance.

This cabin was perfect for our stay in Colorado. We had everything we needed and more. This place truly felt like a home away from home. We especially loved the rustic decor. Very comfortable furnishings, the king bed upstairs was AMAZING. We loved sitting on the front porch for morning coffee or evening cocktails. The private community lake was a beautiful place for an evening family walk. We saw several mule deer and chipmunks during our stay.

Everything was just as listed. Checking in and out was very quick and easy. No long list of chores to do prior to leaving.

Most relaxing vacation I think I've ever had. If you're looking to get away from all the noise of the city this is the way to do it!

This place was the greatest. It was far away from Durango but the beauty of the surroundings made up for that. The cabin was everything we have ever wanted on a house. Thank you.

5.0 / 5.0
It was a nice cabin really quiet I recommend grabbing food before heading up and also there is a tv but you cannot cast to it so it’s very limited but besides that it was great
5.0 / 5.0
Simple. Quiet. Neat. Clean. Only improvements we can think of would be a curtain on the downstairs bedroom window ( we city folk spook easily!) And a working clock in the downstairs bedroom.
We were pleased with the accommodations and would consider staying again.
5.0 / 5.0
Only downfall to our stay was the drive up to the cabin. If you stay here, do the drive during daylight to acclimate yourself. Other than that it was just as advertised.
