We loved our time at this beautiful property! Such a great spot for enjoying Vallecito, and the owners are so generous to give access to their paddle boat, kayaks, etc. Connie was a wonderful host and great communicator.
Wonderful stay with the family and doggie- hosts texted regularly and made sure all was perfect. Property is beautiful and situated directly on the shore. Will definitely return for more much needed downtime!!

Nice cottage, direct access to the lake, good to use as a base to explore the surrounding areas. Hot tub and kayaks were an added bonus. Lots of space to sit in the well maintained garden. Saw deer, rabbits, chipmunks, squirrels in the garden.
Nice little getaway in the mountains the shower needs some up dating and there are 5 TVS in the house but they only work for about 20 min then buffer for another 30 min but over all nice place to stay
Beautiful cabin by the lake with hot tub. Host was so nice and checked in on us. Left us kayaks and other great equipment to use on the lake. We had a wonderful, relaxing stay. Appreciated everything our host provided. This was a family trip so the rest of our family was spread out all over the lake but everything easy to get to and not real far. Couldn’t ask for a better trip!

My family and I had an amazing time. We loved the location it was far enough that my little ones could sing and happily shout as loud as they wanted and not disturb any neighbors. God's beauty is all around this cabin. We can't wait to come again.
Connie and Kay were great at communicating with us the place is beautiful.

We greatly enjoyed being right on the lake! The property has a beautifully maintained outdoor area with plenty of places to sit and enjoy the view. Lots of lake toys included with the rental and fishing was excellent during our stay. Also, can't beat sitting in the hot tub at night and enjoying the stars!

Beautiful location right on Lake Vallacito with amazing views of surrounding mountains! Sunsets were spectacular with photo ops galore. Host, Connie, was awesome. Loved sitting outside on the glider watching our mini Aussie have the time of his life. Cabin is rustic and cozy, well equipped with everything we needed.

The property is perfect for a quiet, secluded getaway in the mountains, with terrific views of the lake and surrounding mountains (and a short walk down a hill to the shire). It’s in an absolutely gorgeous setting with lots of wildlife and things to do. We parked our car when we arrived and didn’t get back into it for days: fishing, hiking, mountain biking, birding, paddle boating from the cabin. The deck has gorgeous views for your meals or just relaxing. Bring a hummingbird feeder if you enjoy birds. Connie was very helpful and responsive to our inquiries.
A rustic and eclectic cabin with a magical outdoor space that we spent nearly all our time. Such close access to the reservoir and within 20 minutes of some really great hiking. We, and especially our two dogs, loved our stay. Thank you!

Why they chose this property
After camping around Lake Vallecito for many years, and staring at this historical cabin next to Graham Creek Campground. I knew that place could be my heaven here on earth. Back when it was just a bunk house for the ranch hands working the cattle ranch where Lake Vallecito exists today. In the years that followed rooms were added, including a kitchen. You can still look around and see some original walls and décor. The property is a half-acre however completely surround by BLM and National Forests . The most spectecular view of the Needle Mountains and the Lake.
What makes this property unique
We offer a paddle boat, two new kayaks, hot tub, canoe. Includes life jackets.Hot Tub
