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! Vallecito also has a few restaurants and general stores. Appx 25 miles to downtown Durango and 50 miles to Purgatory Ski Resort.

COOING: Please note that, like most properties in the area, this home does not have AC, as it is uncommon for homes at this elevation. Temperatures inside the property are easily managed by using fans and opening the windows at night when temperatures drop into the 40s.

NOTE: In winter (November through April), 4WD is required. It is NECESSARY that you have a four-wheel-drive vehicle, vehicles with medium to high clearance and winter/snow tires.  Although the roads and driveway are well-maintained, the road leading up to the home is somewhat steep and will be snow packed and slick.

Cancellation Policy: A non-refundable payment of $300 is required at the time of booking. This $300 payment is applied toward the total amount due and is only refundable within 72 hours of the time of the booking is made. If your arrival date is within 30 days of booking, payment in full is required at the time of booking. Cancellations or changes that result in a shortened stay, that are made within thirty (30) days of the arrival date, forfeit the entire reservation amount while cancellations made more than thirty (30) days in advance of your arrival only forfeit the $300 payment made at the time of booking. For reservations that are at least thirty (30) nights, the cancellation policy above increases to sixty (60) days prior to the arrival date. We do offer travel insurance.

Stay with us and we offer DISCOUNTS on both summer (white water rafting, horseback riding etc.) and winter (ski/snowboard rentals, sleigh rides, snowmobile tours etc.) activities.

The views of the lake and the forest were beautiful, we loved the fire table, and enjoyed our meals at the dining table on the deck. The kitchen was well equipped, and things worked well. The surroundings were very quiet and the beds were comfortable so we all slept good.

Great view

We loved the view and the quiet location. The road up to the house was a little crazy. Appreciated the game room and books for our grandson. The house was very clean! The porches and game room could have used a little attention.

Family Get Away

This home was the perfect accommodations for our family. Plenty of room, very clean and the views were absolutely amazing! 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. We also had a little family fun competing in ping pong :-) I highly recommend this location!

Perfect home! Beautiful view!

The house was perfect! Very clean, comfortable beds, well stocked kitchen! Large covered back porch that has comfortable furniture, one could easily take a nap out there. It’s not directly on the lake but has a wonderful view! Thirty minutes from Durango with plenty of options of things to do for the whole family! Would definitely return!

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.

Look just as advertised might be nice to have upstairs bathroom. The only negative was the patio area was extremely dusty. We had to wipe everything down before we could enjoy the amazing view.

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.

When I called the management staff for help with Wifi, I received a call back almost immediately and was helped by a kind and thoughtful staff member.

Peaceful Place with a Lake View

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was very happy with the location. I was very satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: Love the location of the property, up in the mountain overlooking the lake. Our family spent most of the time on the porch, having family meals and reading by the fire pit. Cool breeze, some drizzles during the day, deers passing by, so quiet and friendly neighborhood. As a bonus, our class B RV can drive up and down the mountain, parking is flat and spacious. Definitely would book again.

Lakepaiew Home

Rating Details: The property manager was adequately helpful. The vacation rental was very clean. I was very happy with the location. I was satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: I rented this home because of thee view and location to the lake as well as the patio as we wanted to spend our time outside. The porch was as expected however it was not as clean as it should have been and the most annoying thing was that the propane tanks (2) for the grill were basically empty and ran out the first night as we were cooking dinner. We called early the next day and were told we would not get new propane until at least 5pm. They didnt arrive until 5:45 so we had to change our meal plan again. The propane for the fire table was also very low and the garbage cans were full when we arrived. The rest of the house was great and the only issue we would mention is that the upstairs rooms are small and there isn't a chest of draws for your folded clothes. Aside from these issues we were very happy with our stay.

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!

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.
