Holiday weekend
My family of 4 had a great stay at Vallecito Lake. We spent time on the lake and it was nice to be so close. We loved the beauty of the entire area.

Peaceful Mountain Getaway
Just what we needed. Beautiful scenery and a quiet, clean cabin appointed with all the basics. Easy 2.5 mile proximity to Vallecito Creek hiking trail which offered great views and creek access.

great cabin
This little cabin was just perfect for our recent 3 night stay in Durango. I'm hoping to come again during the summer time to enjoy the views of Lake Vallecito! It was easy to find and the host greeted us while they worked hard at snow removal because we had a blizzard on the day of our arrival.
