Family greatly enjoyed the graceful cabin and forest in this cool and quiet part of Vallecito. Plenty of spaces for group or private retreat, indoors and out, with easy driving access to the lake, adjacent to good walking roads. Highlight was forest and lake views from the deck, with turkey and deer passing by almost hourly. Greatly appreciated the attention to stocking the house - from books and games, to kitchen sundries, ingredients, and cookware. Owner helpful and responsive to inquiries we had. Recommended.

This home was the perfect combination. The views, the wildlife (deer and hummingbirds) and the location (close to all kinds of activities) were amazing. The house has plenty of space and seating both inside and all around the outside decks! We will be back!

Great location with a beautiful view of the lake (kind of a hike down to the lake if you walk). Spent an afternoon on the lake, hiked in the San Jaun National forest and just enjoyed quiet times in the morning on the deck with a warm beverage, especially in the little covered nook of the master bedroom.

We stayed one week and hosted kids and grandkids and had a great time enjoying great views including watching the dear and turkey graze in the area.

The house is very comfortable and well stocked unlike some other properties we’ve stayed in. The view is unbeatable. It’s remote which can be good and bad depending on what you plan to do while in the area. We loved it and would definitely stay again. Owners are super helpful and accommodating. A hidden jewel!

This was one of the most peaceful places we’ve stayed in the last 10 years. Great views of the lake with deer and turkeys making an almost daily appearance. And if you love watching hummingbird antics, this is the place! We were a bit disappointed that the lake was so low, made it difficult to find good fishing spots but the view of it is spectacular. Beds were comfortable, plenty of seating for meals and evening relaxation. Kitchen is amazingly well stocked which was great as we cooked / grilled every night. A pleasure of a stay, you won’t be disappointed!

Great views, clean, great place for fishing, hiking, visiting Durango, some great family time and memories that will last a lifetime!!!

We had a great time at this awesome property and highly recommend it. The Vallecito area is quiet and close enough to the Durango area but just far enough away (about a 30 min drive). The lake is beautiful and there is plenty to do (hiking, swimming, boating, picnicking, etc). The house has plenty of room and the layout was perfect for our family of four. The owners are very responsive and easy to work with. Make sure you stop by the Weminuche Grill (great BBQ sandwich and the general store…plenty there for what you might need) if you decide to rent this property. We would be back there in a heartbeat!

This house has beautiful views of the lake, plenty of space, privacy, easy access to the lake, and the perk of an extra kitchenette. We were very comfortable here. ****A note for future guests…bring extra toilet paper and soaps. The owners only provide 2 rolls per bathroom and limited amounts of hand soap. Renters are responsible for any additional needed. We only found out upon arrival when reading the house handbook.

We had a great time at the Miller House on Vallecito Lake. Not only is it in a beautiful natural setting but the house itself is lovely, comfortable and had everything we needed for the week….including some snacks in the pantry. We loved the awesome views and the cool breezes off the lake. Our dogs loved all the new smells and deer sitings on their daily walks. We cooked most of our meals and had everything we needed to do so, including a propane grill we used to cook hamburgers, chicken thighs and to grill a spatchcocked chicken. We took a couple of short trips into Durango and Honeyville, enjoying views of the mountains both coming and going. We had just the best time!

We’ve been to Colorado many times and stayed at a variety of places, however this property was the BEST so far!!! Far enough from town to feel “away” yet close enough for a trip in. Cabin was more than well stocked perfect. Anything you could possibly need, it had! Kitchen was huge and had a wonderful and brand new gas stove/range and any item you could imagine needing, at your fingertip. My 3 children had their very own floor with kitchen and also, anything they needed. Property overlooked the lake and it was spectacular, and it could be seen from just about any room! All rooms were very spacious and quite comfortable. There were neighbors around but never heard or saw. My kids told me it was the BEST place they had ever been to! WiFi was exceptional and there was tons to watch on satellite television. I could just go on and on. Again, very pleased with our stay and would highly recommend to anyone that considers staying. Thank you Miller’s for sharing your home with us!

Gorgeous views. House very well appointed. Lots of wildlife. Lots of deer and a flock of wild turkeys roaming the property. Saw bald eagles. The views are phenomenal. Highly recommend this property.

We spent 4 full days here and loved every minute. We only left the cabin twice bc it had everything we needed and was so relaxing it was easy to want to stay. The view of the frozen lake and snow covered mountains was breathtaking and the location was ideal. It was far enough to get get the full nature experience but convenient to run to downtown Durango for some shopping. We can’t wait to return again and fully recommend staying here! -The Aguirres

We had a fantastic 5 night stay at this house with our 3 kids ages 9-12. We did remote school/work during the days and explored in the afternoons ending with hide and seek under the stars each night. The view of the lake is absolutely breathtaking and the extra long deck allowed for so much relaxation and taking it all in. Owner was very easy to work with and we will be back!

This house is amazing as are the views. House has everything you need and then some. Right on the lake, near trails and 35 minutes to Durango. Had one mule dear For I named Texas that napped in the same spot every day. Then there was the parade of 5 turkeys every afternoon about 4:30. Highly recommend this lovely home
