Christmas vacation

Had a wonderful stay! Property was nice, gas everything, very hot water, washer and dryer and dishwasher. The yard was nice to play in. It snowed and the roads were kept plowed. The pictures don't do the cabin justice. Would definitely stay again.

This was a wonderful cabin! Pictures don't do it justice. The only complaint would be the downstairs master bedroom bed is wobbly. Otherwise we absolutely loved it and will stay again in the future!

Review

The vacation rental was great, the only problem I had was the pictures show both cabins as if you were getting both rentals. I messaged VRBO asking them if the second one was included and the person who answered said no, but nothing was available. This made me think that the back cabin was rented to someone else. When we got their the host, who was a wonderfully nice man said the back cabin goes with the front but only if the person request the back and there are too many people. The info from the VRBO person was confusing.

It was a great stay, the Ponderosa cabin is tucked away in a small community. Extremely quiet. Wildlife everywhere!! Rabbit, Deer, and the call of Elk from the mountainside.

Great spot for a relaxing week

Property clean but furniture and beds somewhat dated and worn. Nice fire pit and horseshoe pit. Very near great hikes. Water level very low so little chance for activities on Lake Vellicito. Beautiful setting

Family getaway to beautiful Colorado

The cabin was clean and there was plenty of room for 3 adults and two kids. Almost all of the comforts of home with the added benefit of the beautiful location. The kids enjoyed the creek in the backyard, the fire pit, swimming at the lake and a bike ride through the mountains. We would definitely stay again.

Very comfortable and relaxing week

Everything was great during our stay but was a little disappointed that the stove in the cottage does not work(we were told why on the next to last day). Also discovered the fan over the stove in the main house needs attention when we smelled an electrical burning odor. Still had a great time and it was a great value

Wonderful stay

The location and cabin were perfect for our stay. Everything we required was there, the cabin was completely ready for us when we go there down to having fans on in each room in case it was a bit warm outside. My family has been coming to Vallecito for many years, camping when we were young, to renting cabins as we grew older. We had a great time and found everything was within easy distance. We will definitely stay at this cabin again, as long as it is available!!
