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 was built ten years ago 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, 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, movie rentals and several restaurants for your added convenience.
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.

We recently stayed at Heiden's Hideaway. The Aspens were starting to turn color and we had great weather. This cabin was very well appointed and very comfortable for our one week stay. It was a good location for us since we split our time in the town of Bayfield and Durango. I would highly recomment this cozzy retreat.Recommended for: Sightseeing, romantic getaway.
Owner response: Thank you Devanie for your kind review. Glad you were able to see some of our seasonal changes! We are so glad you enjoyed your stay and we hope you will stay again.

I recently rented Heiden's Hideaway to attend a wedding at Vallecito Lake. The place met all of my expectations and more. The house was so well stocked that we felt like we were at home rather than in a rental. The attention to detail was amazing; It had everything we needed and more. The location is beautiful and is great place to stay when exploring that part of Colorado. It is a bit off the beat and track, but well worth the effort to get there. I suggest that you pick up your groceries before arriving since the stores are approximately 20 minutes away .Recommended for: Families with young children, sightseeing, age 55+, adventure seekers.
Owner response: Thank you Kurt for your nice review! Our goal is to make you feel at home, so we are so glad you found everything better than expected. Good tip about the groceries! Thanks again.

Excellent place to stay during our ventures in Durango, Ignacio and Silverton! We rode 4 wheelers in the San Juan Mountains in Durango and Silverton, what views, I would recommend doing this while your in the area! Cabin was nice and cozy, clean and friendly/helpful caretakers! The location was surrounded by trees and we saw a lot of wildlife around which was great for our 3 year old! She was amazed at the deer and a small bear! Cabin has easy acess to main highways. Really liked staying here and highly recommend it. Will definitely stay here again! Thank you Maryjo and Melanie!!!!!!!!Recommended for: Families with teenagers.
Owner response: Thank you Cindy and John. I'm so glad you enjoyed your stay. You actually saw a cub? Boy my family and I were there a couple of weeks ago but we weren't that lucky. Hope your friends enjoyed it also and we look forward to having you stay again. Sincerely Mary Jo.

We are a family of five and thoroughly enjoyed our stay at Heiden's Hideaway. It was very clean and comfortable with plenty of room. The listing description and photos were very accurate and represent the property well. Both the owner and manager were very helpful. The cabin was perfect for families like us who enjoy the days in the tourist towns and the evenings away from the activity. We enjoyed the Durango-Silverton train ride, a visit to Mesa Verde, river rafting on the Animas River and four-wheel riding in Pagosa Springs. I would highly recommend this property for couples or small families.Recommended for: Sightseeing, families with teenagers.
Owner response: Leo, thank you for your generous review. I totally agree, the river rafting is a must but have never tried the four-wheel riding in Pagosa Springs. Thank you and I hope you return again. Respectfully submitted, Mary Jo.

This was a very nice place for my daughters and I to stay for the weekend. It was very clean and well maintained. We thought the pictures didn't do it justice. It was just about the right size for 4 adults. We would stay there again if we were ever in the area. The caretaker was very gracious to meet us at the bottom of the hill to show us the way up. The surrounding area was beautiful.Recommended for: Girls getaway, sightseeing, romantic getaway.
Owner response: Thank you Ann for your kind remarks. We are looking into hiring a professional photographer so that the home is presented in the most positive light. I'm so glad you enjoyed your stay and I hope you are in the area again soon. Sincerely, Mary Jo.

I was in Durango on business for the week and I figured why stay in town, in a hotel. I should get out and enjoy the mountains and make the most of this trip. So I found this cabin a little ways out of town. It was really nice, peaceful. It was my home away from home. It had everything I needed. The cabin has wi-fi and directv and included all of the movie channels. The scenery was beautiful, there was still some snow on the ground. Unfortunately I wasn't able to bring my family, but I hope to on my next visit to Durango. They'll love it. I've recommended it to some family and friends. I hope they will enjoy it as much as I did.Recommended for: Girls getaway, pet owners, families with young children, sightseeing, age 55+, families with teenagers, adventure seekers, romantic getaway.

I was looking for a place to stay while visiting Durango and a friend recommended this cabin. It was perfect. Renting this cabin was less expensive than any of the hotels I was looking at in Durango! We really enjoyed the setting and enjoyed spending our evenings out on the front porch. We visited Durango, did some hiking and spent some time at Vallecito. We brought our boat and there was plenty of room for parking it. The place was clean and had all of the amenities you'd expect to find in a home. Loved it!!!Recommended for: Girls getaway, families with young children, sightseeing, families with teenagers, adventure seekers, romantic getaway.

It was nicely furnished with plenty of room for our family (4 adults, 2 children). It was everything we were looking for. What a great price!!! Would love to return and will highly recommend!Recommended for: Girls getaway, families with young children, sightseeing, families with teenagers, adventure seekers, romantic getaway.

Owner info

About the owner: Ten years ago my husband and I built this home as a second home for us to enjoy during our retirement. Since his passing, I have decided that sharing this property and its surrounding beauty with others would be far more rewarding than selling it.
Why the Owner Chose Bayfield:
Truly the perfect place to relax and enjoy all the serenity and natural beauty that southwest Colorado has to offer or if you are an outdoors enthusiast you can enjoy each season to its fullest. The property is private, yet not far from the town of Bayfield where you have access to many amenities.
The Unique Benefits at this Cabin:
Close to amenities such as grocery stores, movie rentals and restaurants. A short 30 minute drive to amazing shopping and dining at historic Durango. Fishing at our communities stocked, 25 acre private lake. (no fishing license required). All kinds of lake activities at nearby Vallecito Lake including fishing, boating, jet skiing and ice fishing and over 500 miles of hiking and hunting trails.
