About this cabin rental
Enjoy a Rocky Mountain experience in this rustic, original 1958 cabin nestled in the woods. This location is a beautiful retreat for families and anyone wanting to enjoy the outdoors. Our cabin is located on Grimes Creek with almost an acre of serene forest and wonderful scenery.
Whether you are an outdoor enthusiast who likes to hike and bike or someone who enjoys the peaceful tranquility of fishing or reading a book by the stream, there are plenty of activities for the whole group. Vallecito Lake is about 1.5 miles down the road for many water activities including fishing, boating, water skiing, jet skiing, paddle boarding, and kayaking. There are also many hikes available in the surrounding National Forest, with one trailhead into the Wimanuche Wilderness within walking distance.
The cabin has 3 bedrooms. The master bedroom is located on the main floor with two bedrooms located upstairs. The kitchen is well equipped with a refrigerator, microwave, toaster, stove and utensils. The dining room seats a large group and opens directly into the living room. The living room is furnished with 3 sofas, a leather reclining armchair and original fireplace.
From the living room you can see the front of the property looking out to pine trees or to the back of the property with a view of the stream. A sliding glass door opens directly to a wood deck from the living room. Enjoy the beautiful sounds of the stream as you relax on the deck. Also located in the back yard is a gas grill for your outdoor BBQ meals. There are plenty of lawn chairs, adironack chairs and a picnic table for your outdoor seating. As night falls, roast some marshmallows in the fire pit.
Our cabin is a peaceful retreat with excellent cell phone service if you need to connect to the rest of the world. A 40” TV is located in the living room with an Xbox for those rainy days. There are plenty of board games and books that have been collected over the years for everyone to enjoy. For those who want to play outdoor games, we have a volleyball/badminton court and horseshoes.
**Please note we do not have Wi-fi but we have a strong signal for a hot spot.

The cabin was so quaint and the owners thought of absolutely every detail. Any thing we could have possibly wanted or needed was there! The creek running behind the cabin was so relaxing and we enjoyed all of the wild life as well! If we return to Vallecito Lake, we will definitely stay here again! <3

A lot of thought has gone into this property. There are so many things to do, any age will love it here! They even had bikes the right size for each of us. The only two things that weren’t up to expectation. I emailed the owner prior to going with a quick question but never got a response. The other was the trash has to be taken with you. The stores you can take your trash to closed by 7. We left early in the morning so ended up driving a trash bag 15 hours home with us.

We really enjoyed our stay. The cabin was comfortable and the setting was great. The creek was absolutely our favorite from our girls playing in it to just listening and relaxing with a cup of coffee. Thank you for a great stay.

We had an amazing time here! The volleyball court, badminton and horse shoes were a big hit with our kids. Loved the creek running behind and sitting out there in the morning with my coffee was my favorite part. The beds were comfortable and the cabin had everything we needed. I would definitely recommend this place.

You can’t ask for a more tranquil setting! Morning coffee on the back patio with the stream gurgling and beautiful wildlife to enjoy (squirrels, birds, even a pair of fawns!). The downstairs living space was very nice and the kitchen was tiny but it worked! Everything was clean, and there were plenty of towels and linens. The pictures didn’t quite show how tiny the upstairs bedrooms were. You can stand up straight at certain places up there but have to stay hunched to move around. The stairs were tricky, too, as they are tight and quite steep and narrow. Fortunately, we put our young adult kids up there and they did fine. Very cute place. Can’t beat the proximity to the lake! Beautiful area.

This peaceful, cozy cabin was a perfect getaway for us and our two older boys! We very much enjoyed the peace of the outdoors...the sound of the stream running right off the back of the property, watching the deer and listening to the birds! The perfect location of the cabin (away from the busy) still allowed us to travel to a couple of trailheads we had on our agenda to hike while visiting Colorado...One just down the road from the cabin and another in Silverton. (We made it to Ice Lake!)
We also enjoyed visiting downtown Durango as well as spending much needed quiet time at at the cabin!
Our 23 year old son even said “I could live in this cabin!”
Thank you so much to the owners for always being so responsive and for sharing their home with our family! We will definitely recommend it to others!

We so enjoyed our visit. There was plenty for the kids to do and the quiet neighborhood was so peaceful. We all loved to watch the deer coming through the yard, relaxing in the hammock and listening to the creek out back. Would love to visit again!

The four of us stayed at the cabin for a week and we had such a wonderful time. The cabin has everything you need and then some, it's well equipped, clean and in a great spot. We used it as our base to explore the region with a number of amazing hikes. We also enjoyed the creek behind the house, the lake close by and so much more. Hope to be back soon... Thanks!

The perfect cozy cabin
This cabin was exactly what we were looking for. It was well stocked with everything we needed and more. Lots of things to do outside such as bike riding or badminton or just sit by the stream in backyard. We enjoyed grilling out even for breakfast with the cast iron griddle provided. It was a wonderful getaway.

Peaceful and quite
We had an amazing visit. Loved sitting outside and listen to the river. Nearly every night it was cool enough to have an outside fire. The property owner was amazing with a quick fix when we locked ourselves out of the cabin.

So Fun!
We had a very fun and relaxing time at the cabin. Everything was very thought through with the provisions....right down to the mosquito spray and flashlights! We loved seeing deer every day, including a doe with a small fawn!!! Our boys LOVED trying to catch trout in the backyard stream, and I loved sitting on the yard chairs with the sound of the stream and the fresh smell of pines! Our kids asked if we could come back to this cabin next year again! Thanks for a wonderful getaway!!!
