Quiet cabin nestled in the mountains near all that Southwest Colorado offers. One mile from the lake and the national forest hiking, fishing, biking, and more. 45 minutes from Durango with shopping, rafting, DSNGRR Train, mountain biking, and hiking. Relax, unplug, and make memories.

About the host
Hosted by Shawn R Ferrell
We are a family that loves traveling but we call the mountains our home base. We have lived in multiple countries and we always have come back to the Rocky Mountains. We like to garden, hike (forage), fish, and eat good food. On a good day, all of this can be accomplished right here in our backyard. We look forward to you staying here and getting to enjoy this piece of property as much as we do.
Why they chose this property
We bought this property in 2016 and have loved it so much that we want to share our experience of living here with others. Our guest cabin which we call the miner's cabin is a great cabin for a family vacation to get the opportunity to explore all that the beautiful Vallecito Valley has to offer. The national forest is only .1 miles from the house and there are multiple hiking trails in the area. As well as Vallecito Lake.
What makes this property unique
This property has lots to offer. The cabin is a quaint little rustic cabin that gives you that cozy feeling. Because the property is centrally located in Vallecito, we love to ride 4 wheeler up the middle mountain road and go on a picnic or go for evening bike rides with the kids around the neighborhood because it is easy riding on the gravel road and slow speed limits. There are 3 restaurants within a mile from the house and 2 general stores as well.
