There are several great rentals to choose from at the Vallecito area rental market. Many share similar amenities. NONE enjoy the most unique location, and breathtaking views. It is undoubtedly one of a kind like no other. Eagles Nest has 3 bedrooms, 2 baths, contains about 1,425 square feet. It can accommodate 8 guests comfortably. Pets are considered*. The “Nest” is a rustic, secluded and private cabin at the top of the hill, at the end of the road, perched high on a cliff at 8,000 feet above sea level and, a few hundred feet above the valley floor. Our guests enjoy endless unobstructed views of 14,000 ft snow-capped peaks, the Continental Divide, a green valley with shimmering streams right below, and beautiful views of Lake Vallecito. The Little Valley has its own micro-climate – an ever-changing canvas of mesmerizing colors sights and sounds. Eagles Nest was redesigned and redone by its owners, a true labor of love. The exterior look has been transformed by an artisan, a western movie set designer, into a 200-year-old cabin in the mountains- giving it a very unique look, and preserving its' rustic ambiance. Inside, it affords all modern conveniences, updated furniture, furnishings, art work, a modern fully stocked kitchen with latest generation appliances, a refrigerator with an ice maker, a coffee and espresso bar, a gas fired BBQ grill, state of the art audio visual system, a movie library, games for young and adults, High Speed Internet, and live streaming TV. A full-size washer and dryer is available as well and, air conditioning when required. Additional amenities include an ice maker, septic safe garbage disposal, streaming music via Sirius XM, and a first aid kit. For the 2024 season owners have updated and upgraded both baths. The master bath is a newly remodeled walk in shower featuring a glassed enclosure with upgraded hardware. The second bath features a new bathtub/rain shower combination, with a modern sliding glass. A good part of your time will be spent under the gazebo on the large 700 square foot gated deck nature gazing. All photos in the display were taken from the deck, on the premises without alterations. Some say even the pictures do not do it justice. At night, the dark skies hang so low millions of stars hover above the roof top. It seems one could reach up and pluck a star right off its heavenly seat. The countless acres of the Weminuche wilderness and the San Juan national park share a common border with the property – Just walk up to the trail. Owners have provided our guests a radio communication set for when hiking. Vallecito offers entertainment and fun for all ages - adults, the young, and young at heart - fun activities such as; cycling, horseback riding, boating ( (the marina is located a short distance from the cabin) hiking, ATV and four wheeling, fly fishing, and hunting just to name a few. The shoreline is dotted with some lovely restaurants at waters edge. Durango, with all that it has to offer, is just 25 miles away. Come on up and stop chasing, escape the summer heat, smog, and pollution. Give your body and soul an Eagles Nest rest.

The Eagle's Nest was just that...up on the hill overlooking the valley below. The property had plenty of room for 5 of us, with lots to see and explore outdoors. The cabin is well maintained and stocked with most of what is needed for a comfortable stay. Everyone in the neighborhood we encountered were very friendly and congenial.

We had a great stay! The views of the changing colors was beautiful! We were able to fish, hike, walk the road around the house, cook meals, have great day trips and connect as a family. We enjoyed the games at the house - my kids learned Monopoly and Checkers and never asked to turn on the TV!!

The location is amazing! The deck is the best part of the property. We had the best time photographing the wildlife. Made friends with the female hummingbird, saw a deer walk though and watched the eagles look for prey. The house is well equipped. There are plenty of games and space for a large family. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay. Was sad to leave but hope to return again very soon!

We had an amazing time. Great location - lake, mountains with aspen forests stocked with mushrooms, mesa verde national park … all within 1.5 hours away. Cabin has fantastic views, dozens of hummingbirds, chipmunks, deer - just have your morning coffee and observe nature. Did not want to leave.

Charming secluded cabin at the top of the hill. Excellent views. Love the deck and the hummingbirds feeders. Older building but upgraded appliances and technology. Nice hot water. Super staff. Great location for the lake, local restaurants, and jumping off point for adventures

This place is spectacular! We spent 7 nights at the cabin and the view never ceased to amaze my family and I. The cabin comes with everything you need and is super clean. The drive to and from the lake is beautiful and there is a store at the bottom of the hill for necessities. My kids, 11 and 14, loved it. We definitely want to stay there again!
