Come to Vallecito Lake for your next mountain getaway and stay in this welcoming two-bedroom (plus loft) home for 10, which boasts walking distance to the lake and easy access to hiking trails and dining. This home is ideal for a couple of families vacationing together or hunters and anglers looking for a budget-friendly accommodation in a stunning mountain setting. Dogs welcome.

You'll be situated near the shores of Vallecito Lake, so you can easily walk to boating and fishing. Hiking trails are plentiful around the lake and are perfect for communing with nature on foot or horseback. Durango is about 23 miles away, and Purgatory is about 47 miles away for skiing in the winter and mountain biking and various festivals in the summer. Take a day trip to Mesa Verde to explore ancient dwellings of the Anasazi, or ride the Durango and Silverton Narrow Gauge Railroad.

Get a fire going in the wood stove, then settle in and relax in the living room with free WiFi or a TV show, or simply enjoy the company of family and friends. The in-house washer/dryer allow you to pack light, and a gas grill is a great option for quick, easy meals, which you can enjoy together on the sun-drenched deck.

Book this Bayfield rental today and come immerse yourself in peaceful mountain living!

Great cabin by the lake
Enjoyed the cabin very much. Was well equiped and spacious. Great outdoor space. Had some door keypad issues. Owner called the first night to give some instructions. That was nice. Just some hints for future renters. Understand there is no bedroom on the main floor. No bathroom in the upstairs where there is a bedroom. The mechanical for the cooling, etc. are kind of loud for light sleepers. There is really no way to walk to the lake from the cabin. If you want to fish or just do anything around the lake you need to pay a daily or weekly fee per vehicle. These are not big issues but maybe things people would like to be aware of. Thanks for sharing your great cabin!

Simply amazing!
We loved it! It’s quiet and very cozy and homey. The owner is the sweetest and was very welcoming. The cute little details made it rustic but the cabin still has all the amenities. The views are amazing and it’s close to shops and restaurants. We will for sure return in the summer for a longer staycation!!

The listing couldn’t begin to do it justice. The cabin was perfectly balanced between open & spacious, and cozy. The views were incredible and the living space was beautiful— the wood, stone, and lush carpet throughout the place gave a true, nostalgic cabin feel. The architecture and cool light fixtures were just modern & unique enough to separate this cabin from the rest and elevate it a next level stay. Heated bathroom floor was a great bonus!! The hosts went above and beyond to be welcoming and accommodating, and everything we could’ve wanted or needed was right at our fingertips. I wish I could give far more than 5 stars.

Needs updated
The living area needs updated. Old carpet in living room. The downstairs bathroom is totally remodeled and nice but the main level is from the 70s. Wi-fi is terrible and you can barely see the lake. It was clean, but we were a little disappointed for the price. We also didn’t realize it was so far from Durango.

Nice place but there are sanitary issues
There were rats and mice. Every night the rats nice would some out of the walls. It was not just a mouse in a house in the mountains. There is a serious rodent issue. Fresh poop every morning. Other than that nice place.

Lake house
The property was clean and well stocked with items that we used The downstairs bedroom mattress was very uncomfortable to sleep on in the 3 nights we were there we did not get a good night sleep tossing and turning trying to get comfortable There is no easy way to excess easily access the lake from the house best to drive to the boat dock The cleaning person was still there cleaning when we arrived But all in all it was a nice stay

Cozy cabin with fairy garden
This cabin is perfect if you need a little separation between bedrooms as they are on different floors. Living space and kitchen are together for great gathering and hanging out. Great outside patio with market lights at night. Easy parking right out the front door.

This home has everything you could want! Very clean, well kept and has everything you need to cook with. Beautiful view of lake. Great escape from the COVID pan. Ate at Fur Trappers restaurant. Excellent service and food was very good. Ate outside and enjoyed the beautiful scenery and weather.

Very Comfortable and cozy
Loved this little getaway with my family! Everything was great but we could not find any area of the lake that was within walking distance like the title says. The house is also not toddler friendly (which is no ones fault but ours for not looking more carefully!!) but with makeshift baby gates we had a great time 😊 other than that, the house was very clean, cozy and perfect for a relaxing getaway!

Everything was good, except the bed in the upstairs bedroom was not done when we got there and the sheets looked a little dirty like if someone had been sleeping there. Everything else was great!

Nice location off main road. Cabin was a bit old, dirty, and full of pet hair!
The cabin is right off of the main road and is easy to find. Once we were in, I was a bit taken aback because the photos make the cabin look bright and well maintained. It was very dark and a bit damp smelling. There were spider webs everywhere. It seems as if the house doesn't get dusted often. The worst part was that there was pet hair on every couch, bed, blanket, and carpet throughout the house. I specifically chose a location that did NOT allow pets, because my child is highly allergic. This property was covered in pet hair. The downstairs was old and out of date with a small kitchen that could not be used and a pump that ran throughout the night. It was not restful. The cabin seems to still contain contents of the owner. There were clothes in the closet, food in the cabinets and expired food in the refrigerator. Yuck! The light cover on the fan fell off and fortunately did not hit anyone. This place looks as if there has been some remodeling over time. With some more work, cleaning, and the carpets thrown out, this could be a nice place. By the way, the property is more than just a short walk to the lake. I did like that the electronics were new. The wifi had a strong signal and the games that were provided, the children enjoyed.
