Aspen Ridge | Nice Views of Vallecito Lake -Boat Parking, Game Room, Deck

Wake up to panoramic lake views and the scent of pine at Aspen Ridge, a beautifully remodeled contemporary retreat perched above Lake Vallecito. With over an acre of privacy and direct year-round access just south of the marina, this modern lake home is the perfect balance of comfort, style, and Colorado mountain charm.

Inside, the open-concept layout invites connection whether you’re gathered around the wood-burning stove in the living room or enjoying a meal with loved ones. There are wall-to-wall windows that bring the lake and forest right to your fingertips. Radiant in-floor heating keeps the home warm and cozy, even in the colder months.

The spacious primary suite features a king bed and ensuite bathroom, while glass-paneled doors throughout the main floor lead to a covered outdoor living area — the true heart of this home. Sip coffee on the deck as the sun rises over the reservoir, fire up the grill for dinner with a view, or simply relax with a good book and the sounds of nature all around.

Upstairs, you’ll find two additional bedrooms and a second TV/play area with its own balcony overlooking the lake. This is a perfect space for kids, teens, or a quiet reading nook. For extra fun, head to the garage-turned-game room, fully equipped and ready for year-round use.

All TVs are Smart Samsung models with access to Samsung TV Plus, and guests are welcome to stream their own favorites via Netflix, Hulu, and more. Whether you're exploring the trails, boating on the lake, or simply soaking in the peaceful surroundings, Aspen Ridge at Lake Vallecito offers a stunning base for your next mountain lake getaway.

WHERE YOU'LL SLEEP:
* Bedroom #1: King Bed (main level - TV)
* Bedroom #2 - Queen bed (upstairs)
* Bedroom #3 - Twin over Full Bunk Bed (upstairs)

LOCATION: In the heart of the Lake Vallecito recreation area, you are 1 mile from the marina, hiking, biking and ATV trails, fishing, hunting, ice fishing, snowshoeing and snowmobiling - the San Juan wilderness area is at your doorstep!

Great backyard and GREAT View

This property has a wonderful view, great covered deck.The property has very good WiFi. Loved the location at Lake Vallecito. Lots to do at the lake and a short drive to Durango or Pagosa Springs. However, arrival at the front entrance or the property is a dirty front porch, chairs too filthy to sit on, pile of owl droppings with black bugs running in and out. The furniture on the rear deck is not much better. The cushions are really too dirty to sit on. I took a grill mat to cook on so as not to mess up the grill, but the grill was so full of grease we had a pretty good fire going the first time to turned it on and we hadn't even started our food. Flames and smoke everywhere. The main shower/tub was not draining, filled up to above the ankles. We had to take the stopper out and dig out a huge amount of hair, black with mold. I sent a photo of that freaky mess to the property manager. Other small things like dirty dishes in the cupboard, dirty pan in the drawer, kitchen floor less than clean and old entry mats with rolled up edges that don't let the door close. We really did enjoy the back deck, we had some large towels in our car we could drape over the cushions and we found a pack of cleaning towels in the house to clean up the table. Property has a nice kitchen and appliances.

Relaxing Getaway

We loved this house. The outdoor patio and the way it stayed shaded all day made for a relaxing place to sit and relax while our kids played in the yard. Weather was cool in the mornings and evenings and even without AC we were able to keep things comfortable even during hot weather. The lake was beautiful, Vallecito Creek Trail was our favorite, and we enjoyed day trips into Durango.

Comfortable, lovely lake view home.

We booked this home last minute after our other reservation was cancelled on us. I had to make a really fast decision on booking this one, and it turned out great! This home was perfect for my family of 4 plus my parents, so 6 people total. The kitchen was updated and well stocked. The dining table and living room was big enough for all of us to relax and enjoy. The large covered patio was so lovely to have; furniture made a perfect early morning coffee spot to sit in the silence and watch the deer that call the back yard home. In addition, there is an upper deck off the upstairs that is perfect for night time star viewing! This house is close to the lake and marina, where you can fish and rent fishing boats and kayaks. There are a couple of small grocery stores at the lake and a restaurant on the north end of the lake where we had dinner one night. About 35-40 minutes from Durango, which is a fun mountain town with a lot to do and great restaurants and down town shopping district. The property manager was very responsive to questions and issues. We really enjoyed our stay!

This was the first trip we have been able to take together since our kids became adults. It really gave us a chance to lounge in a comfortable environment to catch up and reconnect.

Spring Break Snow

Our family of five had a cozy and comfortable experience at Lake Vallencito. The house had everything we needed and our children enjoyed the ping pong, darts and foosball. The scenic ride to Durango was about 30 minutes and the private road to get to the property is steep but can be made in two wheel drive. Our kids really enjoyed playing in the abundant snow. The only down fall we experienced was the unreliable wifi connection, but the views from the back porch made up for it. Our family had a great vacation at the snowy destination.
