Come to Vallecito Lake for your next mountain getaway and stay in this welcoming two-bedroom (plus loft) home for 10, which boasts walking distance to the lake and easy access to hiking trails and dining. This home is ideal for a couple of families vacationing together or hunters and anglers looking for a budget-friendly accommodation in a stunning mountain setting. Dogs welcome.

You'll be situated near the shores of Vallecito Lake, so you can easily walk to boating and fishing. Hiking trails are plentiful around the lake and are perfect for communing with nature on foot or horseback. Durango is about 23 miles away, and Purgatory is about 47 miles away for skiing in the winter and mountain biking and various festivals in the summer. Take a day trip to Mesa Verde to explore ancient dwellings of the Anasazi, or ride the Durango and Silverton Narrow Gauge Railroad.

Get a fire going in the wood stove, then settle in and relax in the living room with free WiFi or a TV show, or simply enjoy the company of family and friends. The in-house washer/dryer allow you to pack light, and a gas grill is a great option for quick, easy meals, which you can enjoy together on the sun-drenched deck.

Great cabin by the lake

Enjoyed the cabin very much. Was well equiped and spacious. Great outdoor space. Had some door keypad issues. Owner called the first night to give some instructions. That was nice. Just some hints for future renters. Understand there is no bedroom on the main floor. No bathroom in the upstairs where there is a bedroom. The mechanical for the cooling, etc. are kind of loud for light sleepers. There is really no way to walk to the lake from the cabin. If you want to fish or just do anything around the lake you need to pay a daily or weekly fee per vehicle. These are not big issues but maybe things people would like to be aware of. Thanks for sharing your great cabin!
