Perfect for Families

We stayed with our friends at this home while we visited the Santa Train. Hosts were helpful in changing dates, but then had to contact host the day of to get check-in info. The house has SO MUCH potential to truly be amazing, but it needs a good cleaning and organizing. It was challenging to find items when cooking and we ended up accident leaving two personal items that the Hosts were never able to find. Overall, it met our needs for young children and had a great time. The listing also mentions an outdoor hottub, so we all brought swim suits, but there was none.

Birds in the flue!

This house overall was set up nice for families, plenty to occupy children. Unfortunately the housekeeping is lacking a lot. It could use a good cleaning. The beds and bathrooms were acceptable. I think if some attention was payed to this issue a higher price could be asked.The location is awkward in relationship to the nieghbors. Dont go to the wrong house! The remodel job leaves a lot to be desired, the yellow tape holding the floor trim down will catch your eye! We did release the birds before we left! I would recommend covering the chimney.

Perfect for our large group!

We just got home from our stay here and my kids are already asking when we can go back! The house had a great layout for our large group and plenty of places for everyone to sleep. The house was well stocked with everything we could have needed. We saw so many deer and loved the lake across the street! All around beautiful place! The only reason for 4/5 stars on cleanlisness was due to the large amount of garbage the was smelling up the garage. We didnt let it imact our stay though and look forward to another visit in the future!

Awesome Lakeview Lodge vacation!

We greatly enjoyed the property! Great views of the lake. Walking distance to the lake - great for kayaking and paddle boarding. Plenty of room in the cabin. Lots of fun games at the cabin. Convenient location to nearby grocery store and gas station.

Disappointed

The property did not live up to the description or standards that I expected. I received no check-in instructions from the owner. Upon arriving I found the house locked with no instructions. Because cell phone service was poor I had to drive several miles to get service to be able to contact owner and get code to unlock the garage door which was the access to the house. Problems with the property included the following: 3 trash cans of smelly garbage left in garage. I notified owner on the second day and it was removed the next morning, house needed to be cleaned better, floors were dirty, furniture was dusty, nail trimmings on the downstairs couch, spider webs in windows, laundry room was a mess with bedding still in dryer, socks left in the floor in downstairs bedroom, un - emptied trash can in bedroom, previous guest opened food containers in refrigerator, towels not in all bathrooms, we had to replace several light bulbs, only one light above dining room table worked, ants in master bathroom, uncovered electrical outlets and vents, only one pool cue usable due to missing tip, (we found some glue and did glue the tip to another cue so it could be used),no hot tub as listed on description of amenities. Overall the house just looked like it hasn’t been maintained or cleaned properly in a while. The location was good and we did enjoy fishing and paddle boarding in the lake. However due to the uncleanliness of the house we will not come back or recommend others to do so.

Perfect Thanksgiving vacation!

I don’t think we could have found a better place. I have 3 teenagers and they would have been perfectly happy staying in the whole week. This place had everything we needed! It was so comfortable and cozy!

Wooded Retreat

This property was perfectly tucked away within the addition with a beautiful view of Simpatico lake. Deer roamed throughout our stay, which made the morning coffee scenic and interesting. The kids thoroughly enjoyed all the games and this made for some relaxing evenings for us adults. The only downside was the property seemed a bit quirky and unfinished with random light switches, tile, door frames, and other minor details. All in all, we were happy with our stay!

Wonderful forest getaway!!

Our party of 10 really enjoyed this wonderful forest getaway!! The cabin was perfect!!! Everyone had fun staying here and loved the scavenger game that the host left for us, the pool table, karaoke and zipline in the backyard!! The beds were comfortable and there was enough room for everyone. We didn't get to fish or use the paddle boards available in the cabin but looking forward to doing it next time. The wild life around the cabin, lake and breathtaking views were amazing!! The cabin is equipped with everything you need to enjoy a great time. Our destination was Durango to Silverton train, which is about a 30 minute drive from the cabin, after the train trip we were going to stay in Durango and explore there but we loved the cabin so much and it's surrounding areas that we headed back there instead. We highly recommend this beautiful place and we will definitely come back!! Special thanks to the host for the wonderful hospitality!!!

Family Friendly Forest Home

Getting to the house took a bit longer than expected, but once there it was totally worth the extra time. The owners are easy to reach and very accommodating. The house is perfect for a family with kids. The views are beautiful and picture worthy. The owner even brought our kids fishing poles for the small lake directly across the street! However, since becoming a vacation home they have been continually booked (airb..) and I think this has made it a challenge to maintain the cleanliness and basic upkeep of the home. It wasn't terrible but I am sure it can be better. Many little thing we're needing attention which is hard when one family leaves at 11 and the next checks in a few hours later. The beds downstairs could be upgraded - they made it for a rough night's sleep. The fridge was filled with the left overs from other guests it was hard to find space for our own groceries. But these are things that can be easily fixed cause the house itself is GREAT! My large family would definitely stay here again - in the hopes that the beds are replaced.

Perfect vacation home for families

After mother nature deterred us from Yellowstone we scrambled to find an alternate vacation location. Our host for the house in Bayfield, Co was overwhelmingly helpful and accommodating. This house is perfect for families. I would highly recommend this property.

Perfect House for Teens and Adults

We rented this house because of the activities for teens, which were great. The number of bedrooms and bathrooms made a stay with 9 people as easy as it could be. The view of the lake from the back porch was exceptional The hosts were great and very accommodating . I would highly recommend this property.

About the host

Hosted by Devin and Trista Conroy

Host profile image
My wife and I are local to the area and enjoy all the typical outdoor activities. We enjoy snow sports, rafting, paddle boarding, fishing, lake days, hiking, mountain biking and days at the shooting range. We are a family that enjoys hunting, whether that be for big game, wild turkeys or mushrooms. We are down to earth people that want to give other people an experience of the paradise that we call home.

Why they chose this property

The property is nestled in the tall pine trees of a subdivision called Forest Lakes. In the summer afternoons, the trees can be heard sending good vibes down through the neighborhood. When in the neighborhood, it feels as though each house is a distance away, since most lots are 1/2 acre to a full acre in lot size. Lakeview Lodge has a beautiful view of the Lake Simpatico, which local residents fish and paddle board on. This property has an abundance of wildlife that meanders and coexists with property owners. One can expect to see an abundance of deer, turkey's, racoons and the occasional bear (not quiet Yogi, but still looking for some snacks). It is about a 25-30 minute drive to Durango, which is the epicenter of fun in the area. This house has the locality of having fun in Durango, mixed with the games and entertainment of a full size house. This house has a fooseball table, a pool table, a outside shuffle board table, a golf putting game, corn hole boards and an old style arcade game unit with 60 games. This is no ordinary house and your hosts are determined to make this an adventure you will always remember.

What makes this property unique

As stated before, the house has some great benefits to explore. The house has a 7.5ft pool table to stretch out and enjoy yourselves with. The basement, also known as Wild Turkey's Pub, has a seating area and a bar to gather around. The bar will be stocked with some wine and spirits (for additional charges). The house also is home to a 55" fooseball table, which is easy to play and is always loads of fun for people of all ages. The house has an arcade game unit that hosts 60 of the traditional games on it, including: Pacman, Mrs. Pacman, Donkey Kong, Gallaga, Asteroids and Centipede. We also have a table top shuffle board game with sliding pucks, that is always a great outdoor activity for the porch. Lastly, golf enthusiasts can play Golf Pong, or just practice your putting skills by playing this golf game inside or out on the porch. Our beautiful view of the lake makes for quiet and relaxing evenings. One can unwind from hectic life stresses and soak up the views of the lake, mountain backdrop, wild life and the peaceful serenity that we (hosts) call home!
