About this property

Available Vallecito Lake View Cabin

This uniquely comfortable cabin is super cute and refreshingly FUN !!! With Vallecito Lake views and direct access off your large private back deck, walking to the lake is as easy as "Lets Go"
The large master bedroom is a perfect retreat. If kids or extra family are in the mix, the KIDS love the bunk house loft and will surely please with its 3 comfortable beds!
Your family will enjoy lots of outdoor space on this extra large open property!

The Bunk House cabin was built by local wranglers and is situated on 2.5 acres that border public Bureau of Reclamation lands, that allow for direct access to Vallecito lake from the back of the property, additionally the property has a park like feel to it with fire pit, area to play yard games, etc.

The cabin itself is 800 SQ Ft, small but unique with a very fun layout. Kids absolutely love the sleeping loft bedroom. (Please note that the loft has a low ceiling height & ladder steps.) The Master bedroom is very spacious with beautiful views of the lake. Additionally the back deck is set up with lounge furniture and a grill. This is an amazing space to just relax and enjoy why you came to visit!

Host was super accommodating and very helpful. Cabin was comfortable and in a nice location. If I have to give any negative it is there is only 1 bathroom downstairs but that is being picky. I would definitely recommend this cabin and host

Great Lake Getaway

Booked a 3 day trip to primarily paddle board with the family for the majority of the time; therefore, wanted something close to the water. The property was great; however, the distance from the property to the water is about a half mile walk through a field which contains prairie dog holes and thistles. This doesn't sound too far; however, when you're carrying approximately 40 lbs of gear, you need to plan around being able to freely come back and forth as you would on a shoreline property. We discovered a driving trail relatively close to the property, where you can drop your gear and then have a runner move the truck. If you are planning on just walking the lake trail or just looking at the water from the deck of the property, this is perfect. Barney was great to deal with and the property is located within walking distance to the Weminuche Grill. Thank you

About the host

Hosted by Barney Miller

Host profile image

I moved to Vallecito Lake from Arizona 38 years ago, and dearly love everything about the area.

Why they chose this property

I raised my son in this home, he will tell you how much he loves the property because of the Loft bedroom and the outdoor areas, dinners on the deck, access to the lake, campfires and of course his tree swing!

What makes this property unique

The floor plan is very unusual in that it feels like a tri-level, the direct access and view of the lake.
