We had a nice, relaxing stay at Croll cabin. The cabin was clean and was just what we were looking for as a getaway. The guys especially liked sitting on the lawn and looking at the view. We would definitely go back.

Short Family Getaway

Very quaint cabin on the water. It did not have large sq footage but very usable space. We really enjoyed the screened in back porch. Caretakers and neighbors were very accommodating and nice.

Peaceful getaway

My daughter and I had a girls' getaway, and had a great time here. The house is clean and comfortable, and so close to the lake. We went fishing and kayaking. It was great that they let us borrow kayaks, and there were games to play and movies to borrow when it rained. It was a beautiful spot.

Nice getawy in the mountains

The owners and managers are very kind and prompt with communication. The expectations are to clean the place upon checkout. The floors were filtht wgen we got there. The only cleaning supplies were dish soap, hand soap, rags , broom, vaccume. No mops. I bought cleaners when in Durango and hand mopped the bathroom and kitcken floor with a rag. The property and lake are absolutely gorgeous. The check i. And out times are not ideal. Checknout was by 10 am. When you have to pack load and clean a cabin and dump trash before leaving, the checkout time should be much later. I worry about how sanitary it is to rely on previous tennant to clean before the next tennant comes.

Lake side

Cabin is older building and the upstairs floor bounces when you walk on it. The two bathrooms are both down stairs and next to one another on the bottom floor. The location of the cabin is great
