About this property
Hot Tub, Wildlife Viewing, Close to Vallecito Lake!
Escape to the peace and serenity of this charming 3-bedroom, 2-bath cabin nestled on 15 private wooded acres just 8 miles from downtown Bayfield. Perfect for families, couples, or small groups, this charming getaway offers the perfect balance of seclusion and convenience, with easy access to Vallecito Lake (13 miles) and downtown Durango (24 miles).
Inside, you'll find a warm and inviting interior with a pellet stove, board games for cozy evenings, and high-speed Starlink internet to keep you connected. Our fully stocked kitchen comes equipped with a 6-burner stove, Keurig, dishwasher, and plenty of counter space to cook a delicious meal for your family. The main living area offers an open-concept space ideal for gathering, while an open loft upstairs serves as a second living area—perfect for reading, relaxing, or extra room for the group to spread out.
Step outside to enjoy two expansive decks—one covered for year-round comfort and one open to the sun and stars. The main deck is equipped with outdoor heaters, making it ideal for cool mountain evenings. Fire up the grill or the smoker for a delicious cookout, then unwind in the bubbling hot tub as you take in the sights and sounds of nature. Wildlife is abundant on the property, offering frequent opportunities to spot deer, turkey, and more right from the deck.
