Lakefront - Premier Views! Look no further, we have your Rustic Colorado Mountain Cabin waiting for you! Wooden1-Bedroom Cabin crafted in the '70s and upgraded each season.

Our Shanty Chic on the Lake is loaded with French Farmhouse design and beautiful natural landscaping. The cabin is 500 square feet and all on one floor and easy to move around in. We have two independent cabins next to one another in a friendly neighborhood that offers secluded lakefront access to the shoreline. Nothing but trees and a 100' natural, deer trail (which can be steep at points) down to your private spot on the lake where you can swim, fish, and enjoy! Sunny, gourmet kitchen stocked with just about everything you will need!

The bedroom offers a new medium firm queen mattress and charming décor. The living room views the lake where you can stay tuned with a flat screen TV and watch Netflix and enjoy complimentary Wi-Fi. There is a full bathroom stocked with towels and some toiletries, and a combined kitchen dining room stocked with everything need to fancy your culinary delights!

The glass door opens to a wood deck that boasts gorgeous views of the lake.

Enjoy mornings on the deck with coffee and breakfast on the picnic table, and in the evenings dine fresco-style with the charcoal BBQ, Savor the time!

Please note that smoking is not permitted inside the cabin, but we do provide a designated smoking bin on the patio for ashes and cigarette butts. Please shut the door so the smoke does not enter the cabin, and thank you!

We’re pet-friendly! One to two dogs are welcome for a $50 fee, pets are not allowed on the furniture or linens, please ensure they are crated if left alone in the cabin; always under your control; picked up after outside; any flea and tick issues resolved before your stay.

Situated in a friendly neighborhood, our two independent cabins share secluded access to the shoreline. A 100-foot natural deer trail (which can be steep) leads you to your private swimming and fishing spot. Enjoy shared amenities, including a 3-person rowboat, a stand-up paddleboard (SUP), fishing poles, and a tackle box to enhance your lake experience.
The canoe, SUP and BBQ are not available from the end of October until mid-Spring.

Safety is paramount, so please use the outdoor gear at your own risk and ensure life jackets are worn when enjoying the lake. For fishing licenses and marina information, visit: https://vallecitolakemarina.net.

Due to the tree cover, trash trucks cannot access individual cabins, so guests are responsible for taking their trash to the dumpsters located on the main road.
To ensure you have the best experience, I will meet you upon arrival to provide information about the cabin and neighborhood.

One week before your stay, I will start communication on your upcoming trip. As your dedicated host and concierge, I am available to answer any questions or recommendations in the area so this can truly be a memorable trip.
I have a guest book in each cabin with detailed information of the cabin, area, hikes, restaurants and activities. We can also arrange to meet at the cabin so I can better understand your needs, goals, and desires, allowing me to tailor your experience to perfection!
My top priority is to provide you with a comfortable cabin, stocked with just about everything you'll need, while you explore all that Vallecito Lake and the surrounding areas have to offer.

We hope this will be your perfect mountain getaway!

*Highly encourage travelers insurance through VRBO during check-out.

    ADORABLE cabin with all the right touches! Comfy bed and sofa, updated bathroom, well-stocked kitchen. But who's spending time inside with such an amazing view from the deck?! One of the best around the whole lake! Trail to the shore is steep, as advertised, but worth it to take the canoe out on the lake. Our host was so accommodating, gave us a great hike recommendation and answered texts ASAP with questions about the amenities. Hate to suggest you stay here, because I want to keep it all for myself, but you should definitely stay here! :)

    It rained most of the time we stayed at the lake, lucky for us the cabin was cute, comfortable and cozy! We never found the shared fire pit, but again the rain kept us indoors in the evenings.Our small dog was welcome, and so we felt right at home. Host left a water bowl, treats, dog towel, and extra waste bags. A really nice touch! A “Shanty Chic” pairing at the shoreline as the canoe has rowing oars instead of paddles. Overall 10/10 would stay again. Thanks!

    This was a very quiet very relaxing place. If you need to get away for quiet time this is your place don’t forget though that Colorado has some crazy weather and you are basically staying in the mountains where anything is possible. I loved this place!!!!

    This cabin is becoming a yearly escape for my partner, our dogs, and I. With beautiful vistas over the lake, and a peaceful calm around you at all times, this cabin always leaves me feeling rested and recovered.

    We sat for two weeks looking at the lake. That's all we did. We watched the water shimmer and the sun's light blanket the south bank. That's all we did. It was great. We became grateful to all beings, especially to our wonderful host.
