About this property

Vallecito Lake Family Retreat - Large Patio, Yard, Ample Parking, Pool Table

Vallecito Family Retreat is a quiet, in-the-woods, family-sized log home in the Vallecito Lake Valley between Durango and Bayfield Colorado.  Four bedrooms, plus large sleeping loft puts up to 16 people in beds. It is a short drive to the lake and hiking trails, has a very spacious living area and a yard outside to play.

The large living room is filled with light from the huge windows, and the moss rock, pellet stove anchors the room. The open floor plan includes a dining room with seating for ten, a breakfast nook for more dining space and the country kitchen.  The enormous sleeping loft, complete with four queen beds, pool table and full bath is open to the living area below.  One bath on the upper loft level and two baths on the main, ground level. Streaming TV only with YouTube TV set up for guest use. Outdoor patio dining tables & chairs currently seat 12 people.

Outdoors, the back patio is large enough for the whole group to enjoy the woods that surround the home, complete with grill and outdoor dining and enough seating to have a grand picnic right at this home.  In front of the home, a covered porch with benches and open grassy lawn provide space and fun for the kids without have to leave the grounds.   Fisher-people have use of a stainless-steel cleaning table and sink well (located in the trees, away from the home) with water supply from a lawn hose hookup.

BED CONFIGURATION:
* Main Bedroom - King Bed with TV
* 2nd Bedroom - King Bed
* 3rd Bedroom - Queen Bed
* 4th Bedroom - Queen Bed
* Loft (Large) - 4 Queen Beds (2nd Floor)

LOCATION: In the heart of the Lake Vallecito recreation area, you are near the marina, hiking, biking and ATV trails, fishing, hunting, ice fishing, snowshoeing and snowmobiling - the San Juan wilderness area is at your doorstep! Vallecito also has a few restaurants and general stores. Appx 25 miles to downtown Durango and 50 miles to Purgatory Ski Resort.

This is one of the most private, low traffic homes we have experienced in the area.  Expect peace-and-quiet and a relaxing escape while staying at this home.  Access to the home is via state and county paved roads plus flat, well-maintained gravel roads in a quiet neighborhood.  Though the home is surrounded by mountains, the location is in the flat, river valley area.

COOLING: Please note that, like most properties in the area, this home does not have AC, as it is uncommon for homes at this elevation. Temperatures inside the property are easily managed by using fans and opening the windows at night when temperatures drop into the 40s.

NOTE: During winter storm events 4WD is required.
There is ample parking for multiple vehicles and a boat, snowmobile or horse trailer, so bring your toys to enjoy more of the activities offered by this long-standing, adventure-filled resort lake community.

Stay with us and we offer DISCOUNTS on both summer (white water rafting, horseback riding, etc) and winter (ski/snowboard rentals, sleigh rides, snowmobile tours, etc) activities.
