Heiden’s Hideaway, located outside Bayfield, CO in the majestic San Juan Mountains, is the perfect getaway for any season of the year. This 2-story cabin is on 2 acres of serene wilderness, surrounded by tall pine trees in the beautiful community of Forest Lakes, Colorado. Within this community we have Lake Simpatico,(2 miles from the cabin), a private 25 acre lake that is stocked with fish waiting to bite and does not require a fishing license. It is located 6 miles north of Bayfield where you can find amenities such as grocery stores and several restaurants for your added convenience. (Four wheel drive and/or chains necessary during winter months).

The cabin is also located only 20 miles south of Vallecito Lake, one of the largest lakes in Colorado where you can enjoy endless activities such as, hiking, boating, fishing, horseback riding, jet skiing in the summer, ice fishing, skiing, tubing and snow shoeing in the winter. You can also easily enjoy the superb shopping and dining in the historic city of Durango, only 30 miles away.

The cabin is available all year and throughout the hunting season and is located near over a half million acres of public land and big game habitat and is a top pick for hunting Elk, Mule Deer and Turkey. Guided hunting trips are available.

The cabin is nicely furnished and has all modern conveniences.

(Please keep your food indoors and trash in designated containers). Enjoy high ceilings, lots of natural light, two bedrooms and 1 full bathroom. On the first floor you will also find a fully equipped kitchen, a cozy living room with comfy recliners and chairs, ceiling fan, and 47” HD TV.

Lovely, comfortable cabin
We loved staying in the beautifully decorated cabin. It was easy to find, if a bit further out of town than we expected. We enjoyed the quiet and the scenery and all the comforts of home. We had one problem with the washer, and the host was very responsive in getting it fixed. The elevation is about 8,000 feet, so keep that in mind if you are sensitive to altitude. We would stay here again.

Bayfield Hiseaway
This property was very nice and we thoroughly enjoyed it. It had a beautiful setting. We loved the cabin. It was very nice with great furnishings and very well stocked with everything one would need. The cabin was a little difficult to find and to come and go daily. The oven was very dirty and needed cleaning which we left a note for the cleaning crew to take care of. We saw deer, wild turkeys.

This was a great place for a quiet little get away. It rained most days which was divine to listen too. The cabin had everything we needed. We went into Bayfield the first night for dinner and then into Durango the other nights. We fixed our own breakfast and lunches.

Amazing cabin in the woods
We loved being hidden in the trees. The cabin is cute and cozy but reevaluate we spent a good amount of time just in the trees. It’s at the top of the neighborhood If you walk further up the mountain you just get deeper into the trees. Hosts were responsive and gave good advice, we had a 4 cylinder car so we probably would have gotten stuck if a storm had hit so that might be something to keep in mind in the winter. And it’s about 30 min to get to downtown Durango but it’s a beautiful drive and worth it.

Awesome Mountain Cabin!
My wife and I rented the cabin to get away from Houston for our 5th Anniversary. This place is awesome! A peaceful mountain getaway with all the comforts of home. Little did we know that the first snow of the season would come early this year and dump almost 20inches of snow. While it was extremely beautiful, we were so glad we had an AWD SUV to safely navigate back down the mountain. We would come back again and love to do some summer hiking. Thanks for a great hideaway just outside of Durango!

Perfect getaway to the mountains
The location was very peaceful while also very convenient to Bayfield, Durango, and many access points to the San Juan Mountains. We enjoyed the amenities, the western decor, and spacious loft for the main bedroom. The fireplace in the living room added to a comfortable and relaxing stay. We would love to visit the area again soon and would definitely choose Heiden's Hideaway again.
