Crosshouse Cabin on Vallecito Creek

Come relax and play among the southern mountains of Colorado in this creekside cabin. This 3 bedroom/2 bath cabin sleeps up to six people and offers a great home base for your vacation plans. Enjoy the sound of nature from our deck or explore the nearby hiking trails, horseback riding, fishing and boating, or go into Durango for shopping, white water rafting, zip-lining or swimming. Maybe take a day trip to the Durango Mountain Resort, ride on the Durango-Silverton Narrow Gauge Railroad, see the ruins at Mesa Verde National Park, or relax in the steamy pools at Pagosa Springs. With so many options, you are sure to please every family member.
In winter months, cross country ski throughout the neighborhood and trails around Lake Vallecito. For alpine skiing, our cabin is less than an hour to Durango Mountain Resort and 1.5 hours to Wolf Creek Ski Area.

Lovely cabin with all the amenities you need. Close to the creek, you can see the Creek from the window- perfect for walking along and looking at rocks. Lots of wildlife. Close to Vallecito lake. Little store down the road has all the groceries you need. Beds were very comfortable. We enjoyed our stay here!

The cabin was perfect for our family of four. We were there during an unusually warm week (mid 90s during the day) and did not struggle at all keeping the cabin cool by following the advice from the owner. No need for air conditioning. We enjoyed time at the creek just outside of the cabin, swimming at Lake Vallecito, and exploring/hiking in the national forest. The Crosshouse Cabin was the ideal spot for our family vacation.

Perfect mountain getaway

This cabin was the perfect mountain getaway for my wife and me. Nestled in the trees right next to the river. It was extremely comfortable and well stocked with all we needed. The neighborhood is quiet. We spent a day relaxing along the river, hiked one of the many nearby trails, and thoroughly enjoyed our down time. Excellent place for couples and small families.

Great little spot!

Hunted out of this cabin during 1st rifle elk season and it was perfect. Comfy and spacious enough for 2 of us to spread out and not be on top of each other with all our gear. Would love to go back and just enjoy the area more. The creek area is beautiful.

Vallecito Cabin

This was a lovely, quiet cabin with nice access to Vallecito Creek. It was a beautiful place to come back to each afternoon after various Colorado adventures. It was well-stocked, clean, and comfortable, in a lovely, quiet neighborhood. Thank you for providing such a nice place to use as our home base for the week!

Great summer vacation

We enjoyed our stay at the cabin and in Bayfield. The creek next to the cabin was a delight and the kids enjoyed spending time there. We also rented ATVs less than five minutes away. Durango is about 45 min away for other options! The cabin provided everything we needed for our family of 5.

Cabin on Vallecito Creek

The cabin was very comfortable and clean. We loved being so close to the creek. My only complaint would be that I wish the listing was a little more forthcoming with the fact that the cabin is located in a development.
