About this cabin rental

This rustic mountain cabin home is in the heart of the Vallecito Lake community, central to Durango, Silverton, and Pagosa Springs. It is located on the north east corner of the lake, which is a very convenient location to all lake area and wilderness activities including boating, fishing, water skiing, hiking, horseback riding, road cycling, mountain biking, motorcycle riding (dirt and street), hunting in the fall (National forest is less then 100 yards from the front door), snowmobiling, ATV'ing, and more. There is also the ‘locals favorite’ cross country skiing trail along the Eastern edge of the lake, which is groomed all winter for both classic skiing and skate skiing.
This cabin easily accommodate 10 guests which makes for a perfect place to reconnect however you see fit. This cabin has a warm, comfortable, and cozy feel with a large wrap around deck with a Traeger Grill to BBQ on while looking out over the lake and watching the sun set from 2 large Rustic rocking chairs. After dinner, you can rest your feet in our formal living room with large wood burning fireplace as you watch TV on the 75 inch flat screen and Bose surround sound, or perhaps you'll enjoy some time in the entertainment game room as you play foosball, ping pong, darts, or simply lounge on the large sectional couch watching one of our many DVD's or Dish Network. If reading or board games are your thing, you'll find our Enlightenment Loft just the place for you to relax in one of our large love sacs as you enjoy the complimentary WiFi or strong Verizon and ATnT signal, which is only available in a few areas around the lake making this property an excellent place to stay.

If romance is what you seek, you can enjoy the two person jetted tub or shower in the master bath next to the Rustic King Size bed and private gas fireplace in the master bedroom. If you are looking to do a family gathering, you will find the 4 other queen size beds with brand new memory foam mattresses and down comforters very comfortable and cozy. Two of those queen size beds are modern Murphy cabinet pullouts with USB ports for charging your electric devices.

With the large rustic formal dinning table to accommodate all your guests, you can entertain them as you prepare meals in the fully stocked kitchen with everything you would need to prepare your meals. We supply coffee, sugar, creamer, as well as a cabinet full of spices, seasonings, and some baking necessities. If you like to cook as you do laundry, you'll find the large steam front loading washer and dryer just off the kitchen on the main level.

Outside, you can take a stroll through the large Ponderosa pines down to the lake or several rivers where you will find trophy pike, trout, walleye, bass, and salmon for fishing or boating. If you need a boat, the marina can provide you with watercraft at a reasonable rate. We also have contacts for ATV, Horseback riding, or White water rafting. From Durango, the train to Silverton or hot springs in Pagosa are both less then an hour away. After a long day come back to the cabin and enjoy the outdoor lighted pathway to the beautiful flower garden and large fire pit area under a Colorado sky full of stars.

If you're a competitive person then challenge one of your fellow house mates to a game. We have darts, air hockey, two foosball tables, and ping pong. You can even relax on the large sectional couch and watch TV while waiting your turn.

Dana and her Husband were great hosts very responsive and awesome people! My wife accidentally left her earrings and Dana went out of her way and shipped them back to us!! I’d definitely go back :) Vallecito is a great place to be out in the lake and in the woods.

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay. It was in mid March and there was a lot of snow. The grandchildren loved playing on the sleds that were at the house. There was so much snow, it was beautiful. We had difficulty getting our vehicle up the mountain. It would be helpful to know there is a good incline that is difficult in a 2 wheel drive vehicle when there is snow and ice. A 4 wheel drive vehicle is a good idea for the snowy months.

We stayed the week between Christmas and New Years. It was great. Wish we had known the house was on a steep road, as part of our group got stuck coming in. James did offer to push them into the driveway. However they ended up going home due to the winter storm threat. The rest of our group has a great time. Didn't even notice when the power went out until a couple hours in. James was very responsive to our questions. The game room is the converted garage, but is well insulated and is heated. Will come back again.

James and Dana were the best! They made us feel at home they had everything a family needed for a stay. The place was very clean and plenty of room for everyone. Me as a mom, grandma making the meals they had everything. If you wanted to BBQ they had different grills. My grandkids weren’t even bored being that they are teen’s they had games for everyone. They even had a boat to rent what made it even more fun. Thank you James and Dana we will be back. 😘

Let’s just say this property was the cleanest VRBO we have yet stayed in - and we have been staying in VRBO properties for 10 years! Very welcoming and comfortable. We had 4 kids and 2 adults in our group and all had a bed to sleep in. The hosts had everything ready and waiting for us. They had all the small supplies that you don’t think to bring until it is too late.... paper products, spices, extra linen and life jackets for the lake!! We were so happy with our stay and would definitely stay again! Thank you!!

We loved staying in this beautiful cabin in a beautiful setting! As others have said, the pictures don't do it justice. It is beautifully decorated and very cozy. Everything we needed was there and the kitchen was extremely well stocked. It was great that there were so many spices and condiments already on hand. The location is very peaceful and we saw lots of wildlife wandering around. The lake and some great trailheads are nearby. There is a small grocery store nearby with local meats, local produce and all the basics that you need. The host was very helpful with suggestions for things to do and places to go. We even hired him to take us on a fishing excursion and grilled fresh rainbow trout that evening! We didn't want to leave and will definitely be back!

Fantastic home in LaPlata County

Fantastic home in LaPlata County

My family of 8 had a wonderful few days at this lovely home. The house was clean and decorated beautifully to give us the mountain feel we were hoping for. The kitchen was well stocked and there were plenty of activities for those not interested in relaxing on the deck amid the evergreens. We would definitely stay here again if we return to the Durango area. (And we would also rent boats on the nearby reservoir which we didn’t know was an option until too late.)

The pictures on the listing really don't do this property justice. This cabin is so roomy, with 10 people there was plenty of room for everyone to enjoy, play, and sleep. Property managers was very gracious and helpful as we had people traveling from various places. Game room was great for entertaining everyone. We will definitely return to this property.

This place has everything!

This place has everything!

When we first pulled up, we immediately noticed how the photos did not do this place justice! It is a hidden gem at the top of road tucked off a high perch in the forest not far from the lake and middle mountain trail riding. There is plenty of drive-way space for many vehicles and even the two trailers we hauled with our Polaris Rangers. Right away Dana met us there to show us around the cabin. The hospitality from the owners goes above and beyond. We didn't need a thing! There are plenty of clean linens, towels, pillows even bar soap, shampoo & conditioner and loofas. The kitchen is well stocked with spices, baking ingredients, pots, pans, utensils, good knives and cutting boards. There are even two coffee pots. One is a keurig/pot variety. I can go on and on, but literally everything you need is there to enjoy your stay. Paper towels, toilet paper, dish soap and sponge.... These owners have checked every box! I have to also mention the fun game room as seen in the photos. The kids had a blast while us adults had our adult time! The cabin is beautifully rustic and cozy. Don't hesitate to book with James and Dana! We would love to stay there again. Thank you so much for having us!

They gave a thorough tour and were available via text for any questions throughout our stay. The house is fully stocked and beautifully decorated. We didn't want for anything during our stay. We look forward to our next visit!

James and Dana have done a great job providing everything we needed for a wonderful week. The house is nicely decorated. The game room in the basement was great for all the tween aged boys to hang out and let the adults have some quiet time. The sleeping arrangements were perfect for our group of nine with the boys occupying the hidden beds in the basement. The internet connection was strong and useful.
