About the host
Hosted by Shanty Chic - René
Hello, I'm René! My family and I moved to the Durango/Bayfield area from the shores of Santa Barbara in 2004; here, we found a home with the striking beauty of the Rocky Mountains. I have worked as a B2B consultant in the 4Corners area for nearly a decade; then, in 2015, I started the business Shanty Chic, managing quintessential mountain cabins in Vallecito Lake. Through my time in Colorado, I’ve become intimately familiar with the southwest and surrounding areas. As a host, I value taking time to create connections through personally meeting each of my guests. I listen both for needs and barriers, as well as goals and desires, in order to best accommodate you and provide meaningful suggestions for your trip. I am a guest-driven host, and my priority is to provide a safe and comfortable home for your experience in Vallecito Lake and beyond. I have cared for hundreds of guests and am excited to share all the insights that a trained guide, local business owner, and Colorado Mom can provide.
Why they chose this property
This cabin is located on Vallecito Lake. A beautiful, secluded mountain valley, just 18 miles from Durango. It is one of the largest and most beautiful bodies of water in Colorado. The lake has about 12 miles of shoreline and sits right in the middle of the San Juan National Forest.
What makes this property unique
One of the most unique benefits the Guest will have is the lake and mountains to relax and for sports enthusiasts - Enjoy! Long before the completion of the dam in 1940 made what is regarded as one of "the most beautiful bodies of water in Colorado," Vallecito was home to "The Ancient Ones," and later, the "Yuutaas," commonly known as the Southern Utes. Fur trappers, gold miners, and homesteaders followed, and with the completion of Vallecito Lake, the tourists. Today, Vallecito Lake is a special place for both residents and visitors alike. Located in a sheltered valley in the heart of the San Juan Mountains, Vallecito is a nature-lovers paradise. Come explore...
