Perfect mountain getaway

This cabin was the perfect mountain getaway for my wife and me. Nestled in the trees right next to the river. It was extremely comfortable and well stocked with all we needed. The neighborhood is quiet. We spent a day relaxing along the river, hiked one of the many nearby trails, and thoroughly enjoyed our down time. Excellent place for couples and small families.

Great little spot!

Hunted out of this cabin during 1st rifle elk season and it was perfect. Comfy and spacious enough for 2 of us to spread out and not be on top of each other with all our gear. Would love to go back and just enjoy the area more. The creek area is beautiful.

Great summer vacation

We enjoyed our stay at the cabin and in Bayfield. The creek next to the cabin was a delight and the kids enjoyed spending time there. We also rented ATVs less than five minutes away. Durango is about 45 min away for other options! The cabin provided everything we needed for our family of 5.

Vallecito Cabin

This was a lovely, quiet cabin with nice access to Vallecito Creek. It was a beautiful place to come back to each afternoon after various Colorado adventures. It was well-stocked, clean, and comfortable, in a lovely, quiet neighborhood. Thank you for providing such a nice place to use as our home base for the week!

Cabin on Vallecito Creek

The cabin was very comfortable and clean. We loved being so close to the creek. My only complaint would be that I wish the listing was a little more forthcoming with the fact that the cabin is located in a development.

Great location. Very quiet and relaxing. We had a great time. The property was well maintained and comfortable. Great place to get away and relax. But it was close enough to Durango and the lake. We had everything we needed.

Almost Heaven - Not West Virginia

So peaceful. The river beauty was the key, but quiet neighborhood, privacy, people in town, close to other day trips. Small, but comfortable accommodations. Perfect for two. Only comment would be to put a table on deck for outside dining. We loved it!!

Peaceful escape on the creek

Very clean and pride in ownership. Also it was so quiet as it is the last cabin so you don’t have any through traffic etc. Enjoyed a family holiday weekend and it was perfect! Joan was so helpful over the phone and her son Jeff was awesome too at the property. Would definitely recommend this location to rent. Kitchen was well stocked with all the necessities.

Quiet and comfortable with beautiful surroundings!

Nice cabin which was spotless and well equipped. Great deck that we enjoyed often. Very quiet neighborhood. Better directions on finding it would have been helpful. An inconvenience was lack of storage space in master bedroom. It would definitely be a return destination though!
