This charming cabin features a cozy fireplace to warm your evenings, ensuring a comfortable atmosphere no matter the season.

This spacious retreat features two king-size beds on the second floor, providing ample space for restful nights. Additionally, there's a full-size pullout couch on the first floor, perfect for accommodating two children under 12 years. Please note there is a $35 linen fee for guests exceeding four persons or for the use of the pullout, and we also offer a complimentary fold-up play crib.

The master bedroom boasts a private bathroom, while the second bedroom has easy access to a hallway bathroom, ensuring privacy and comfort for all guests.

The living room offers seating for six, and while the charming ceiling beams can be low in some areas, they add character to the space. Unwind indoors by the cozy stone fireplace in the living-room and stay connected with free Wi-Fi, and enjoy entertainment with Netflix and DVD movies available on the TV.

Just a friendly reminder that since we are nestled in the pines, the internet speed may be slower than what you’re accustomed to. Think of it as an opportunity to disconnect from the hustle and bustle and fully immerse yourself in the serene surroundings.

Off the living room is a half bath on the first floor, and air conditioning for those warm days.

Our sunny kitchen, complete with a dining area that seats four, offers window seating for enjoying the views. The kitchen is stocked with just about everything you'll need to master up meals at the cabin like a chef! You could also enjoy dining under the covered decks fresco style with the charcoal BBQ next to the deck.

The cabin is well-stocked with linens, cleaning supplies, personal care products, and all the necessary amenities for cooking. Feel free to reach out with any questions about these items. We're here to help make your stay as enjoyable as possible!

The large covered patio features plenty of seating and a charcoal BBQ for alfresco dining, making it an ideal spot for gatherings. Please note that smoking is not permitted inside the cabin, but we do provide a designated smoking bin on the patio for ashes and cigarette butts. Please shut both front doors and have window closed so the smoke does not enter the cabin, and thank you!

And, for those looking to explore the lake, we provide a canoe for your adventures, along with fishing poles for a delightful day of angling. Kept at the cabin is a stand-up paddleboard that can be carted to the lake's shoreline; we also supply oars, and standard sized life jackets. Please note- You are responsible for your family's safety, and using any trail or watersport provided, you are doing so "At your own risk".
The canoe, SUP and BBQ are not available from the end of October until mid-Spring.

Due to the unique landscape, trash companies are unable to use their hydraulic lifts to pick up containers, so we ask that all guests please use the dumpsters located on the main road for your trash disposal. We appreciate your cooperation in keeping our community clean and beautiful.

We’re pet-friendly! One to two dogs are welcome for a $50 fee, pets are not allowed on the furniture or linens, please ensure they are crated if left alone in the cabin; always under your control; picked up after outside; any flea and tick issues resolved before your stay.

One week before your stay, I will start communication on your upcoming trip. As your dedicated host and concierge, I am available to answer any questions or recommendations in the area so this can truly be a memorable trip.
I have a guest book in each cabin with detailed information of the cabin, area, hikes, restaurants and activities. We can also arrange to meet at the cabin so I can better understand your needs, goals, and desires, allowing me to tailor your experience to perfection!

My top priority is to provide you with a comfortable cabin, stocked with just about everything you'll need, while you explore all that Vallecito Lake and the surrounding areas have to offer.

We hope this will be your perfect mountain getaway!

*Highly encourage travelers insurance through VRBO during check-out.

About the host

Hosted by Shanty Chic - René

Host profile image
A young family from New Mexico visited the lake in 2020 and loved the area so much and found this magnificent cabin and purchased it the next year!

Your Contact - Hello, I'm René! My family and I moved to the Durango/Bayfield area from the shores of Santa Barbara in 2004; here, we found a home with the striking beauty of the Rocky Mountains. I have worked as a B2B consultant in the 4Corners area for nearly a decade; then, in 2015, I started the business Shanty Chic, managing quintessential mountain cabins in Vallecito Lake. Through my time in Colorado, I’ve become intimately familiar with the southwest and surrounding areas. As a host, I value taking time to create connections through personally meeting each of my guests. I listen both for needs and barriers, as well as goals and desires, in order to best accommodate you and provide meaningful suggestions for your trip. I am a guest-driven host, and my priority is to provide a safe and comfortable home for your experience in Vallecito Lake and beyond. I have cared for hundreds of guests and am excited to share all the insights that a trained guide, local business owner, and Colorado Mom can provide.

Why they chose this property

This cabin is the quintessential mountain cabin nestled in the pines trees in a friendly neighborhood but gives the feeling of seclusion. Close proximity to the lake entrance and located in the Four Corners area.

What makes this property unique

One of the most unique benefits the Guest will have is the lake and mountains to relax and for sports enthusiasts - Enjoy! Long before the completion of the dam in 1940 made what is regarded as one of "the most beautiful bodies of water in Colorado," Vallecito was home to "The Ancient Ones," and later, the "Yuutaas," commonly known as the Southern Utes. Fur trappers, gold miners, and homesteaders followed, and with the completion of Vallecito Lake, the tourists. Today, Vallecito Lake is a special place for both residents and visitors alike. Located in a sheltered valley in the heart of the San Juan Mountains, Vallecito is a nature-lovers paradise. Come explore...
