SO PEACEFUL!
We all loved this property. The cabin has a huge deck that is just feet away from the Valliceto creek, that looks like a flowing river. The sound was so relaxing and we enjoyed coffee on the deck every morning. There is wildlife all around, including deer, Elk, chipmunks, marmots and squirrels. At night we opened the windows to hear the flowing water. It was wonderful. The inside is beautiful, which everything you could ever need. The beds were so comfortable, and Andi had it stocked with coffee, tea, water, spices and other snacks. It was so nice having a washer & dryer! We really loved this beautiful cabin, and I would love to come back and stay a lot longer. There are a couple country stores and a nice restaurant nearby that has awesome breakfast and dinners. The cabin is right around the corner from Valliceto Lake which offers all kinds of water sports, paddle boarding, kayaking, pontoon rentals and fishing boat rentals. We fished right from the back deck!

Calm area
Overall was a nice place to stay only issue we had was snow/ice blocking the doors to the backyard access to river. Owners very responsive. Would like to stay again in the summer time.

Amazing Cabin with breathtaking views!
We were extremely happy with the stay, this was our first time visiting Colorado and this cabin gave us the outdoor nature vibe we were hoping to get. We would definitely recommend this home to anyone because we surely enjoyed it. Thank you again and hope to see you again in the summer next time!

Wonderful Cabin
The cabin was perfect for our family (2 adult couples and 1 single adult). The space was so peaceful and well appointed, everything we needed for cooking. Sleeping with the sound of the river outside was heaven. Easy access to the trails, lake and fishing nearby. Perfect relaxing getaway.

A Lovely Cabin with Excellent Hosts
This creek front cabin is amazing! It’s perfectly setup with everything you need to enjoy your stay. It is very clean and well laid out. For us it was about relaxation and we felt right at home here. The sound of the creek could be heard while going to sleep and waking up, which was priceless to us. We quickly figured out that a cup of coffee on the back deck watching the stream roll by was the only way to start the day.
Book with confidence!!!
