About this cabin rental

Enjoy a peaceful mountain getaway near the shores of Vallecito Lake at this welcoming two-bedroom home with a loft, comfortably accommodating up to 10 guests. Within walking distance of the lake, hiking trails, and local dining, this home is a convenient base for families and groups looking to spend time outdoors and enjoy the beauty of Southwest Colorado. Dogs are welcome, making it easy to bring the whole family along.

Vallecito Lake is just a short walk away, where you can spend the day fishing, boating, or simply enjoying the mountain scenery. Hiking trails around the lake offer plenty of opportunities to explore the surrounding forest on foot or horseback, while nearby restaurants make it easy to grab a meal without traveling far. When you're ready to venture farther, Durango is about 23 miles away, with Purgatory Resort approximately 47 miles from the home.

Inside, the comfortable living room offers a welcoming place to gather after a day outdoors. Start a fire in the wood stove and settle in with family and friends, catch up on a favorite TV show, or use the free WiFi to stay connected when needed. With plenty of space for a larger group, the home makes a convenient retreat for families vacationing together, fishing and hunting groups, and friends exploring the mountains.

The home includes a kitchen with the essentials for preparing meals, while the gas grill provides an easy option for outdoor cooking. Gather together on the sun-drenched deck for a meal, morning coffee, or an evening enjoying the peaceful mountain surroundings. A private washer and dryer are also available, making it easy to pack light for longer stays.

With two bedrooms, a loft, and sleeping accommodations for up to 10 guests, the home offers flexible space for larger groups. The layout is especially well suited to families traveling together or groups looking for an affordable home base near Vallecito Lake.

Spend your days enjoying the lake, exploring nearby trails, fishing, boating, or discovering the surrounding San Juan Mountains. Make a day trip to Mesa Verde National Park to explore its remarkable cliff dwellings, ride the Durango & Silverton Narrow Gauge Railroad, or head to Purgatory Resort for skiing and snow activities in winter. During the warmer months, Purgatory also offers mountain biking and seasonal festivals.

Whether you're planning a family vacation, an outdoor adventure, or a relaxing escape with friends, this Vallecito Lake retreat puts you close to the water, trails, and mountain experiences that make the area special.

Property was spacious; we had everything that we needed
8 / 10Excellent·Apr 2026
The house is wonderful and served the needs for our trip to the lake. I did have to ask for an early check-in as the 4 pm check-in is very inconvenient. This time is later than most hotels. We are coming in from different states and traveling by car and airplane to get there. We would like to get in and freshened up. Since this is a house rental we also need to unload groceries for the stay. This should be changed to allow for the reasons stated. The dishwasher did not work. Thank you for sending a maintenance person to check on it. He stated the part needed, a control panel was not readily available. This meant I had to wash dishes by hand this weekend. This was not what I wanted to do on my vacation. There was one glass cup that was cracked and did break. It was thrown away. The upstairs tv was not working. It powered on but all of the inputs said “no signal”. We hope to stay again in the future.

Great location. Maybe a little to close to main road if you have little ones or pets.
