LAKEFRONT CABIN 1Bdrm/Deertrail2shore/Rowboat/SUP/FishinPole/Pet/30mins 2Durango
Lakefront - Premier Views! Look no further, we have your Rustic Colorado Mountain Cabin waiting for you! Wooden1-Bedroom Cabin crafted in the '70s and upgraded each season.
Our Shanty Chic on the Lake is loaded with French Farmhouse design and beautiful natural landscaping. The cabin is 500 square feet and all on one floor and easy to move around in. We have two independent cabins next to one another in a friendly neighborhood that offers secluded lakefront access to the shoreline. Nothing but trees and a 100' natural, deer trail (which can be steep at points) down to your private spot on the lake where you can swim, fish, and enjoy! Sunny, gourmet kitchen stocked with just about everything you will need!
The bedroom offers a new medium firm queen mattress and charming décor. The living room views the lake where you can stay tuned with a flat screen TV and watch Netflix and enjoy complimentary Wi-Fi. There is a full bathroom stocked with towels and some toiletries, and a combined kitchen dining room stocked with everything need to fancy your culinary delights!
The glass door opens to a wood deck that boasts gorgeous views of the lake.
Enjoy mornings on the deck with coffee and breakfast on the picnic table, and in the evenings dine fresco-style with the charcoal BBQ, Savor the time!
Please note that smoking is not permitted inside the cabin, but we do provide a designated smoking bin on the patio for ashes and cigarette butts. Please shut the door so the smoke does not enter the cabin, and thank you!
We’re pet-friendly! One to two dogs are welcome for a $50 fee, pets are not allowed on the furniture or linens, please ensure they are crated if left alone in the cabin; always under your control; picked up after outside; any flea and tick issues resolved before your stay.
Situated in a friendly neighborhood, our two independent cabins share secluded access to the shoreline. A 100-foot natural deer trail (which can be steep) leads you to your private swimming and fishing spot. Enjoy shared amenities, including a 3-person rowboat, a stand-up paddleboard (SUP), fishing poles, and a tackle box to enhance your lake experience.
Safety is paramount, so please use the outdoor gear at your own risk and ensure life jackets are worn when enjoying the lake. For fishing licenses and marina information, visit: https://vallecitolakemarina.net.
Due to the tree cover, trash trucks cannot access individual cabins, so guests are responsible for taking their trash to the dumpsters located on the main road.
To ensure you have the best experience, I will meet you upon arrival to provide information about the cabin and neighborhood.
One week before your stay, I will start communication on your upcoming trip. As your dedicated host and concierge, I am available to answer any questions or recommendations in the area so this can truly be a memorable trip.
I have a guest book in each cabin with detailed information of the cabin, area, hikes, restaurants and activities. We can also arrange to meet at the cabin so I can better understand your needs, goals, and desires, allowing me to tailor your experience to perfection!
My top priority is to provide you with a comfortable cabin, stocked with just about everything you'll need, while you explore all that Vallecito Lake and the surrounding areas have to offer.
We hope this will be your perfect mountain getaway!
*Highly encourage travelers insurance through VRBO during check-out.
