Here are reviews before joining VRBO:

"This is a very comfortable property in an excellent location with three stories of fantastic views over beautiful Vallecito Lake and surrounding mountains. We couldn't have asked for a better family retreat with nearby access to boating, hiking, and good food. Cool breezes through open windows even in the height of summer made for some excellent sleeping, and two living areas and multiple decks offered several comfortable spots for relaxing with books, games, and movies. We didn't end up cooking much, but the main kitchen was very well stocked and even the outdoor grill came with an excellent view. We were in the area for a wedding, and the hosts anticipated all our needs including setting up two irons and ironing boards. They were also very quick to answer texts and even mailed us a computer charger that we accidentally left behind. Long story short, we will definitely be back when we have a chance to be in Colorado again. Great vacation, highly recommended place and hosts."

“The lake house is such a special place. Vallecito is a stunning rare gem in Colorado, with trees all around and the mountainside striking up from the water. We came with our two little kids, ages 3 and 15 mos. We ate every meal out on the massive deck. The house stayed very cool and breezy which was perfect. Views out every window. We brought our bikes and biked around to the other side of the lake. We’ve traveled all around CO and lived in the Denver area for 6 years. Vallecito is very unique and magical. Don and Emma have infused their radiance into every inch of this lakeside retreat. Bring the family, bring friends, prepare to surrender to the lake effect of deep relaxation. "

"This is the perfect retreat for a family reunion, or any get away. The views are amazing. The sunrise over the lake is unforgettable. When our friends saw pictures of our stay there, they asked, "Why did you come home?" The area is peaceful, yet so much to do- cycling, hiking or just walking around is a treat. We found friendly restaurants, and grocery stores in the immediate area. Anyone will find Bayfield or Durango great day trips. The honey store is a must. The lake house itself is very comfortable with lots of room to spread out."

"My adult children and I had a wonderful weekend at the lake house. My girls were thrilled by the property. They were pleasantly surprised by the multi-level house with large windows on every floor. A treat both for the views and all the natural light. We enjoyed cooking our meals together in the well-equipped kitchen. We brought our kayaks and hiking shoes and thoroughly enjoyed exploring the area. There are very nice hiking trails close by and a boat ramp, right down the street. I look forward to returning this summer."

"I stayed at the lake house, this past October. It was "heaven on earth." Felt completely safe and secure. I love to take pictures, and the views from the house to the lake and around are beautiful. The scenery on the drive up was amazing, so many different shades of fall colors. The big kitchen had everything I needed. I was cozy warm with the fireplace and comfy bed. It was full moon that weekend, which was an extra treat. Don and Emma are caring and trustworthy. They want anyone that visits their lake house to feel like you are at home...and I did...Enjoy!"
