Beautiful cabin. We could tell that the owner Ron really cares a lot about the details by the personal walk-thru. We enjoyed our stay very much. There's a FANTASTIC view of the lake! We traveled to Vallecito to fish and also to visit family in a quiet beautiful setting, and this was a success on all fronts.

The home is lovely and was very clean and comfortable. The only thing detracting from the stay was issues with the septic system that the owner had repaired while we were there. I would stay here again.

Great lakefront property! The kitchen was well equipped to cook & the host was very responsive. I would recommend replacing the mattress in the master bdrm for a more restful/comfortable sleep.

Many guests comment on how comfortable that mattress is and it doesn't show any signs of wear. It's our favorite place to sleep. You may be used to memory foam which we do not like.

Great Lake view

Hosts were great to be sure we were comfortable. The home and location are just what we needed for a fall get away. We read books, took hikes, watched ducks on lake while drinking our coffee. The deck is wonderful and would go there again. Great for fishing, hiking, relaxing and family time

Beautiful Lake Front Getaway.

We had an amazing stay here. The house has every amenity that you could possibly need. Everything worked perfect, and we some amazing meals in the well appointed new kitchen with an incredible view of the lake. We could watch the kids play in the lake just a few steps from the deck. We will be back, Thank you for the awesome memories.

Jason’s visit reminded me of the wonderful child vacation I had when I was the age of their children and that was 65 years ago. My son often thanks me for the wonderful times I showed him as a youngster. Those special vacations are the memories children hold on to forever and Jason has already reserved his stay for next summer.

Beautiful lake house

Just steps from the lake to go paddle boarding which was great. Owners are thorough during check in and reviewing rules, which keeps their home in good shape. Enjoyed our stay! As always in Colorado, watch those afternoon thunderstorms and try to get on the water early in the morning.

Lake house

Really nice area to stay. The deck is a good spot to relax on. The house is okay. Needs a fan in the master bedroom upstairs, it did get warm up there. Parking is very limited. You’ll do good to get two small cars parked. Overall we had a good time. Weminuche Woodfire Grill has good food.

As much as we like our bedroom ceiling light we have recently ordered a fan /light to replace it. There are nights where the lake breeze can use a little help. We don't have a parking lot and all of the nearby properties only have roadside parking. We have roadside parking in addition to the two spaces. Most guests arrive in one large vehicle. We continue to be a favorite.

Beautiful views

Clean and comfortable. Kitchen is freshly remodeled, beautiful and fully stocked. Blackstone is a nice touch. House decor is a bit dated but it didn’t matter. The view from the deck makes up for it. Owner/manager is very helpful and detailed in his explanation of everything. We had a great time exploring the area.
