Waterfront cabin on Vallecito Lake with WiFi, large deck, & lake views
Paradise on the Lake
Our calendar is updated in real-time & our nightly rates are accurately displayed. Simply enter your desired dates and click 'Book Now!'
Find the perfect spot to disconnect, unwind, and relax at this peaceful, waterfront cabin on the shores of Vallecito Lake. Rustic and cozy, this home makes a tranquil home base for your hiking, mountain biking, fishing, and boating adventures in Southwest Colorado.
This log cabin sits among the evergreens on a hill just above the lake, with a spacious deck overlooking the water and the surrounding snow-capped peaks. The interior is incredibly atmospheric, with wood paneling adorning the walls and a living space that brings together the living room, the kitchen, and the dining room. Before a day of adventure, you can flip pancakes on the stove in the kitchen, sip your morning coffee at the two-person breakfast bar, and sit down to eat with your loved ones at the dining table for four or outside on the deck.
This lakefront cabin is located 200 feet above the lake, in a peaceful, private area on the southwestern shores of Vallecito Lake, with much of the surrounding land part of San Juan National Forest and the Weminuche Wilderness. It's a great spot for mountain biking, ATVing, and hiking, whether you choose one of the trails tracing the lakeshore or the Lake Eileen, Vallecito, or Pine River Trail within a few miles' drive. You'll also be less than a mile from the Vallecito Marina, where you can rent canoes, kayaks, paddleboards, pontoon boats, fishing boats, and fishing gear.
THINGS TO KNOW
Please note that the front door opens into the double bedroom; the queen bedroom is more private
Parking notes: There is free parking available for 4 vehicles.
Damage waiver: The total cost of your reservation for this Property includes a nightly damage waiver fee, plus tax if applicable (the “Damage Waiver”).
