The Perfect place

This is our third time staying at this cabin. It is beautiful, clean, comfortable and you have to stay here to see the views for yourself. I can’t think of anything the hosts have left out for the most perfect stay. Highly recommended!

A Special Place

A Special Place Cabin was immaculate! My family thoroughly enjoyed our stay in June 2024. The cabin had fantastic views of Vallecito Lake and very convenient to eateries. Will definitely consider staying at A Special Place again if in the Durango area.

Perfect Getaway

This cabin is absolutely gorgeous! The furniture is nice quality, the cabin has everything you need and is very comfortable. The view from the deck as well as from the living room and second floor loft is spectacular. This is the perfect place for a relaxing weekend enjoying the lake, sipping coffee and listening to the birds, and stargazing next to the fire. I’ll definitely stay again!

Beautiful views

We loved the views from the house and deck. The house was spotless. We enjoyed how quiet the area was. The rooms and furniture were nice. Responses to any inquiries were timely. Restaurants nearby were very good, the Reservoir was close by and a couple of nice hiking trails close by as well. The town of Durango was a beautiful 40 minute drive away. A very comfortable stay.

Great quiet getaway!

This cabin was top of the line comfort, quiet, beautiful, and the views it has! Especially the view of the lake, WOW!!! This cabin provided everything we needed and more from cooking , laundry supplies to hygiene. My grandson, who is 10, enjoyed fishing and paddle boarding (both were also supplied) so much, he did not want to leave the lake. He also got to see a bear crossing the road and get a picture. He got so excited seeing the bear. We wished we could have stayed longer. Looking forwarded to going back!

Relaxing get away

Home was very clean except for the ant problems. Great location however not close enough to walk to the lake. Pictures may be a little deceptive on closeness to the lake. Great place to unwind and spend time overlooking the lake on the deck with a coffee or evening drink spending time with family.

More than expected

This cabin really impressed. Beautiful inside out. No missed details of this place everything feels brand new. And the beautiful view of the lake from the outside patio was just icing on the cake. We had an amazing weekend and are already planning our next getaway to coming back. Thank you so much

Great spot for good times.

This cabin has a beautiful view of the lake. The cabin is very accommodating from number of people that can sleep there to the towels and laundry to the kitchen. Had most spices and oil available. Had no issues. Wished the lake wasn’t frozen to take the kayaks out. If it’s snow season, you better have AWD or 4WD. 2WD ain’t gna cut it. They also had board games for everyone to play. Definitely recommen. About 35 minutes to Durango and a little over one hour to Pagosa Springs. Thank you for allowing us to stay at your home!

Perfect Birthday Trip

We stayed with family at this beautiful home the week after Memorial Day. The home was spotless, stocked with supplies (including a variety of coffee), top shelf linens and very comfortable beds. Our only disappointment was a confusing (for us) TV remote. The variety of programing was great but we don't have the same satellite/cable system that serves that area, so some sort of guide would have been helpful for us senior citizens. Eventually we figured it out but since others may not find it confusing, we don't want to give this rental any less than an absolute stellar review. We did contact Vacasa with simple questions, and they were immediately accessible, pleasant and helpful. The home was exactly as photographed and described. Beautiful. We highly recommend this rental and we stay at VRBOs often. 10+++++
