About this property

Cabin at Vallecito Lake with Hot Tub!

Make sweet memories at this unique, family-friendly place. The 2-bedroom "Pond Cabin" sits in the heart of Vallecito. The property is perfect for relaxing and enjoying the beautiful mountains with your family. The cabin is fully furnished and stocked with all kitchen supplies for cooking, 100% cotton linens, and paper products (paper towels, trash bags, TP, Kleenex). As a side note, we only use clean cleaning products. No harmful chemicals here.

The cabin has a great front porch to relax and enjoy your favorite beverage, hot tub or enjoy the fire pit in the evening under the big, starry sky. The pond is stocked with trout (fish food is provided to feed them, its really fun), and there is a creek on the property, too.


Vallecito is a great location to enjoy all types of mountain activities, including horseback riding, fishing, canoeing, paddleboarding, ATV rentals, restaurants, live music, and hiking. Durango is only a 40-minute drive.
Our prices include all fees. No hidden fees.

Great stay for families

This was perfect for our time between camping locations. The cabin was pleasant and the pond with boats gave my kids a chance to play outside while taking a break from our more adventurous camping locations. Sean was a fantastic host and we were sad to leave.

Rustic Hideaway

We were in Durango for an event for our son and decided to spend our time away from the hustle and bustle of a town. We found this hideaway that was simple but overflowed with the tranquility we were in much need of. The cabin is quaint with all the amenities required to stay without leaving. Shawn ensured the house was fully stocked and upon leaving checked with us to ensure our stay was satisfactory. Definitely a return stay. Beautiful area.

It was nice but unable to enjoy hot tub and outdoors. Another person living in a camping in a tent right across on property. Would have liked to have known prior to staying. Made it uncomfortable and it’s right on the property. They cross over to get to tent 😢

Cabin Getaway

Cabin has everything you need- nothing like a nice kitchen for a home made meal, a good clean shower, and a comfy bed- after spending several days in the mountains. Hot tub was a great perk for sore muscles! Shawn was very helpful with directions and some notes on how to be set up well upon your arrival. They also have beautiful trout in the pond that they provide food to feed them with, my wife and I loved going out in the mornings and dinner time to do that!!
