Comfortable, dog-friendly home w/in walking distance to lake - wooded setting

This cabin was quaint and cozy! No need to bring anything; this cabin has it all! We enjoyed every morning sitting on the deck drinking our coffee and enjoying the view of the Pine Trees and Vallecito Lake.

Located in the perfect place to go and visit Pagosa Springs, Durango, Silverton/Durango Train Ride and Mesa Verde.

If you want to relax and recharge your battery; this is the place to stay!

The owners were very responsive and accommodating; which was very much appreciated. We really enjoyed our stay and plan to return!

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The downstairs was old and out of date with a small kitchen that could not be used and a pump that ran throughout the night.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.
