Small Creek in grassy backyard. Larger Vallecito Creek with fishing just steps away. Quiet, in-the-woods privacy only begins to describe the setting for this charming family-sized lake cabin home in the Vallecito Lake Valley between Durango and Bayfield, Colorado. This is an excellent home for a family or group to experience all that the area has to offer. Outside, the front of the home has a large, grassy lawn with a volley ball court! .  There is room to park multiple cars plus space to park the trailer for boats, ATVs, motorcycles and snowmobiles.  

This mountain home is in the heart of the Vallecito Lake Resort community located near the north end of the lake, which is a very convenient location to all lake area activities including boating, fishing, water skiing, hiking, horseback riding, road cycling, mountain biking, motorcycle riding (dirt and street), hunting in the fall, snowmobiling and more. There is also the ‘locals favorite’ cross country skiing trail along the Eastern edge of the lake, which is groomed all winter for both classic skiing and skate skiing.

Consistent with most Colorado mountain areas, the home does not offer air-conditioning.

Appx 30 miles to downtown Durango and 55 miles to Purgatory Ski Resort.
