Great location. Maybe a little to close to main road if you have little ones or pets.

Beautiful cabin with beautiful views
The location is perfect! It has everything you need plus more. We travelled with family, and it had more than enough space for us all. The balcony views from every angle were a plus! I do wish the lake was more accessible from the home, but the drive to swimming and fishing have great views. Loved our stay!

High tech tree house!
All the high tech gizmos you could want! Maybe too many cameras? Felt like you were being watched the whole time . Not the best location for pets as you are right next to a busy road with no fences ,but we made it work. Really cool listening to the ice on the lake reverberate up and down the whole lake at night!

Thank you for sharing your thoughts about your recent stay. It sounds like you had quite the experience with all the high-tech features, even if the number of cameras made you feel a bit watched. We ensure that we respect our guests' privacy. We appreciate your feedback on the pet situation as well; we understand that being near a busy road can be a concern for pet owners. On a brighter note, it’s wonderful to hear that you enjoyed the unique sound of the ice on the lake at night. We’re always looking to improve our guests' experiences. We hope to welcome you back for another stay in the future.

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!

Becca, thank you for your review. We are happy to hear that you had an enjoyable stay. To clarify, there are multiple hiking trails around the lake which allows you to easily commute from the home to the lake. We apologize for any confusion regarding this. We also have a 24/7 guest services line that is available for our guests to use with any questions that may come up. We hope to have the opportunity to host you again!

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!

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.

We are sorry to hear this guest did not enjoy their stay. This is a rustic lake home that has just been opened up for the summer. We have sent the cleaning team to the home to address the issues mentioned, and will be refunding this guest the cleaning fee.

Everything was just as described. Clean and welcoming. Other family members were camping in the nearby campground and it was less than a ten minute drive to meet up with them and spend the day on the beach and in the water. Perfect!

The Better House really is…
This is a beautiful home in a striking location. It is equipped with everything as If the owners just stepped out: linens, spices, Kleenex & paper necessities, etc. The furniture and the beds are very comfortable and the decorations are perfect for a mountain cabin. The yard is well kept and the Fairy Garden is so cute. Both bedrooms are up/down stairs, something a senior might need to consider. Thank you so much for sharing your home with us.

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.
