LAKEFRONT CABIN 1Bdrm/Deertrail2shore/Rowboat/SUP/FishinPole/Pet/30mins 2Durango

Lakefront - Premier Views! Look no further, we have your Rustic Colorado Mountain Cabin waiting for you! Wooden1-Bedroom Cabin crafted in the '70s and upgraded each season. Our Shanty Chic on the Lake is loaded with French Farmhouse design and beautiful natural landscaping. The cabin is 500 square feet and all on one floor and easy to move around in. We have two independent cabins next to one another in a friendly neighborhood that offers secluded lakefront access to the shoreline. Nothing but trees and a 100' natural, deer trail (which can be steep at points) down to your private spot on the lake where you can swim, fish, and enjoy! Sunny, gourmet kitchen stocked with just about everything you will need!

One bedroom with a new medium firm queen mattress and charming décor. The living room views the lake and can seat four people. There is a full bathroom and a dining area that seats three people. The glass door opens to a wood deck that boasts gorgeous views of the lake. On the deck is a picnic table, and patio chairs to enjoy time outside. We offer satellite programming with movie channels like HBO and complimentary Wi-Fi. No smoking. All pets must be approved in advance, one to two dogs are allowed for a separate $50 charge. Any pets left in the cabin alone must be crated, no exceptions! READ PET POLICY!

We have two cabins next to one another on our 1/3 acre hillside lakefront property (it's easier down than up!) and offer our guests a "Shared" 3-person rowboat, SUP with oars & life jackets, two fishing poles, and a tackle box all to enhance your vacation.
You are responsible for your family's safety. If you choose to use the trail and any of our outdoor gear you are doing so "At your own risk". Everyone is not physically able to use the trail or the equipment. Any equipment used must be handled with care and lifted to the water and back to a designated area to keep it from being swept into the water.
Life jackets must be worn when in the lake, and we have several standard-size jackets,
bring your life jacket if you need a specific size.
For a fishing license and marina information:
https://vallecitolakemarina.net

Our small neighborhood has many majestic trees and because of this trash companies cannot use their hydraulic lift to pick up containers, all cabins use dumpsters on the main road and guests are responsible for taking their trash out.

To ensure all guests have the best experience, upon your arrival, I will try to meet with you to personally provide information on the cabin, neighborhood, and any related information about the area to ensure your time at the lake is a success.
One week before your stay, I will reach out to you and let you know the location of the keys and helpful tips on parking, and finding the cabin in case you arrive before me. I live in the area and am available 24/7 with any questions or concerns you may have during your stay.

We sat for two weeks looking at the lake. That's all we did. We watched the water shimmer and the sun's light blanket the south bank. That's all we did. It was great. We became grateful to all beings, especially to our wonderful host.

Beautiful, peaceful lakefront cabin
My husband and I stayed in the smaller cabin. The setting is beautiful. The cabin is cozy, comfortable and well stocked. Several good hikes in the area. Highly recommend the restaurant at the Country Store. We were sorry we only had a chance to eat there once. Rene, our host was very responsive and had some great recommendations. We really enjoyed our stay and hope to go back next year.

Beautiful Views
The view from the deck was absolutely stunning. We were disappointed that there wasn’t a walking trail around the lake (not the owner’s fault) and we weren’t aware until we got there that we had to take our trash offsite for disposal. However our time in the cabin was very relaxing and we enjoyed being able to have our dog with us on vacation.

A great little cabin on the lake. Nice to have access to the lakefront and a kayak to use on the lake. We enjoyed our restful stay. The cabin is shanty chic and could use a little TLC but nothing that impaired our stay.

Honeymoon
A great stay! Everything we needed or would have liked was readily available: from pots pans/ dishes for eating to a 60 second walk for fishing. Durango, where there are plenty of options for shopping and site-seeing, is just a 30 minute drive. We took a train from their to Silverton. That was also an incredible, scenic experience.
