About this cabin rental

Situated in Lake City, this attractive cabin for £108 per night is a fantastic choice for your next trip. This is the cabin your grandfather stayed in when he came to Lake City. First things first: If you are looking for suburb sterility, square corners and airtight climate control, we recommend you look at many of the other options available in Lake City. That said, if your idea of the mountains is to old-school percolate some coffee, fry some fish in cast iron, and relax in your dad's easy chair in front of an honest fire, this is the place for you. You can even chop firewood (if you want to). We aren't savages though. The house comes with Bluetooth speakers, Wi-Fi and a smart TV. Constructed in 1946, this home is full of memories from the families who owned it since. Lots to admire on the walls, over the mantel and in the shelves. If you can handle some imperfect floors and a clawfoot tub with an iron curtain rod, you'll thrive here. You want to get away and we want to get you away, so we left this house as close to the original as possible. Welcome to the past! This cabin sits just one block from the town park, local boutiques, and dining. It's hardly a five-minute walk to the local Brewery, and to the world class ice park. Lake City boasts Gold Metal Waters for your fly fishing desires, including guided trips, and is connected directly to the Alpine Loop, a fabulous and scenic 4x4 drive trip through the San Juan mountains. If you don't own a four-wheel drive vehicle, there are plenty of rental options right in town. Along the loop, you will pass Lake San Cristobal (located just a couple miles from town), the second largest natural lake in the state. Spend the day on a paddle board, boat, or fish from shore. Take a walk out to the island on the suspension bridge. In the winter, bring your ice skates, cross country skis, or fishing hut! Hinsdale County also contains five, fourteen-thousand-foot mountains for all your high elevation needs. At a population of just over 400 year-round residents, Lake City gives you small town vibes with all the modern amenities you want, and plenty to do for the whole family! Enjoy!

This house needs a major renovation or should be demolished. It is a registered historical building in need of more than $100,000. in repairs. The walls are falling inwards, the floors are sinking, and as I was staying there windows were falling out.

First, understand we were looking for a place to land between high mountain hiking excursions, nothing extravagant or luxurious. For what we required, this was perfect! Quaint, good basic accommodations; clean comfortable beds, quiet location in town with plenty of space! The bathroom sink and tub were a bit of a size challenge, but other than that, we really enjoyed this property and the flexibility and helpfulness of the owner. We'd stay here again if we return to the area!

My wife and I loved the cabin and it’s aesthetics. The weather was amazing, a welcomed relief from the 108 Texas heat. The only thing holding me back from giving it 5 stars is the online listing. The pin on the map makes it seem like the cabin is on the river when it is actually in town. The cabin no doubt played a huge role in making our Lake City trip a huge success. The location just a block from downtown made walking to the shops, dinner, the park and the arts and craft fair lovely. I would recommend that you come and enjoy this beautiful cabin!

Overall the cabin was a great find with little time to plan our trip. The cabin is definitely on the rustic side compared to other VRBOs we’ve stayed in around the area. No screens on the windows was a major downside as temps were in the 90s. Plus there was only 1 box fan in the house. That meant we weren’t able to keep the windows open during the day without bugs getting in. Location is great as it’s right down from down town.

Has everything you need for a few days stay. Very rustic and roomy with a comfortable bed. The bathroom could use upgrading, the shower was hard to use. In a great spot to walk to downtown. The yard could have been mowed or weedeated. I would bring a fan! Overall an ok place to stay.
