About this property

Large Lake Retreat, Pets Allowed, Perfect For Family's!

Quiet, in-the-woods privacy only begins to describe the setting for this charming family-sized lake cabin home in the Vallecito Lake Valley between Durango and Bayfield, Colorado. This is an excellent home for a family or group to experience all that the area has to offer. Outdoors, the front deck is large enough for the whole group to enjoy the woods that surround the home. Also in front of the home, is a large, grassy lawn with picnic table. There is room to park multiple cars plus space to park the trailer for boats, ATVs, motorcycles and snowmobiles.

This mountain home is in the heart of the Vallecito Lake Resort community located near the north end of the lake, which is a very convenient location to all lake area activities including boating, fishing, water skiing, hiking, horseback riding, road cycling, mountain biking, motorcycle riding (dirt and street), hunting in the fall, snowmobiling and more. There is also the 'locals favorite' cross country skiing trail along the Eastern edge of the lake, which is groomed all winter for both classic skiing and skate skiing.

Approx. 30 miles to downtown Durango and 55 miles to Purgatory Ski Resort.

Nana's Cabin
We really enjoyed our stay at Nana's Cabin. There were 12 of us present for a 60 year wedding anniversary, and this cabin worked great for the occasion. The mosquitos outside were the biggest problem, but there were videos and lots of toys for the children to play with inside.We were concerned about the lack of one of the banisters on the open side of the stairs because a small child could fall through, and one of the great grandchildren sure got a big splinter in her foot while being barefoot on the deck. But overall, this was a nice place and we enjoyed being there.

Lovely vacation spot.
The house was clean and had a well stocked kitchen etc, which was great. The one downside for us since we have toddlers, was that there are a lot of knick knacks around that they could get into. Otherwise it was great!
