Bayfield, Colorado
This is a fun-filled family property. This 2 bedroom one bath, fully furnished kitchen is great for your mountain getaway. Enjoy quiet mornings in the Hammocks or Adirondack chairs throughout the property watching the sun come up in the valley. This is a great time to see deer in the yard eating the grass and flowers.
The Miners cabin is our guest cabin that is nestled in amongst 100 ft tall Blue Spruce trees with a nice front porch with a charcoal grill and picnic table. On the main floor, you will find the living room, kitchen, bathroom, and bedroom with 2 comfortable twin beds. Upstairs is a spacious room with a king bed and a sitting area with a queen-sized futon. Note that upstairs is accessed by a set of steep stairs.
Very pleased with this little cabin in our favorite place in Colorado! Any questions or concerns we had were addressed immediately. We were quite impressed overall.
Very nice property that was nice to come back to each day after exploring the area. Was a great place to decompress.
The cabin and property are like a sanctuary, but also fun. The owners were very friendly and accommodating. We will be back
We had a great time in Vallecito staying in the rustic cabin. We were able to drive into Durango for the day and explore Mesa Verde and another day we rented a jeep and drove to Silverton to the ghost towns and mines. Shawn provides a fly fishing lesson for a fee if interested and we did that and the kids learned a lot from him! We had a great time watching them learn the art of fly fishing. He suggested a guide service for the lake and it was great! We tried fishing for Pike but didn't get any, but caught lots of trout! Shawn also gave us recommendations on restaurants to try out and we went to all the ones he suggested and they were terrific! He is very kind and let us borrow his ice chest since we forgot ours. The only draw backs are that you can't fish in the pond (which we understood, just want people to be aware) and that while the Vallecito creek is on the property it is a little hard to access and difficult to fish in because there is quite a bit of brush that your pole will get hung in. The lake and other parts of the river are a quick drive though so we did that. This area is very quiet and quaint and we loved sitting around the firepit at night talking about our day. A great way to unwind and unplug.
Our family had a wonderful 3 nights at the Miners Cabin. Shawn and Sarah were so welcoming and friendly. They shared info on all the best spots to fish, run, hike and explore. Our boys loved hanging out with their boys... from biking together to explore the surroundings to sharing stories around the campfire. The cabin was super cosy with comfy beds and very well equipped. This is a really special place, made even better by the most wonderful hosts.
It was so great to stay here. Family was so wonderful. Got to feed fish and they recommended places to go and things to do. A clean, well maintained place. Great for a couple or a family.
We had a great time at Miner’s Cabin. Shawn and Sarah were great hosts. We had an enjoyable time relaxing on the deck of the cabin and roaming on the property and getting plenty of fresh air. The pond and river are right there and very accessible. The weather was perfect for our trip. Thanks for the fun stay!
Great cabin in the middle of beautiful country.
Nice cabin and great area.
Excellent property. Beautiful area. Friendly service. Clean and well kept
Online renting and payment was easy, property manager kept us up to date on the poroerty and allowed early check in, nice and peaceful, enjoyed the secludeness and nature, surrounding property owners were all friendly and so were their animals
We had a great time staying at the Miners Cabin! Very quiet and relaxing. The owners and their family are very sweet and knowledgeable about the area. Close enough to Durango to drive and enjoy the activities like riding the train and shopping. Or drive up to Purgatory and ride the alpine slides and the Inferno mountain coaster. So many great hiking and driving trails just up the road from the cabin. We enjoyed sitting by the campfire at night roasting marshmallows, making s’mores and fellowship with Shawn, Sarah and their kids. Would definitely stay here again!
Wonderful hosts, beautiful property and cute cabin that was perfect for our family of 3! It was nice to disconnect among the quiet of the tall, beautiful bluespruce trees ❤
We spent most of our time at Vallecito Reservoir. Shawn was a gracious host and welcoming. He was attentive to our needs and the cabin was well stocked.
Perfect clean. High quality sheets and towels (organic cotton).Well stocked kitchen. Very comfortable beds, spacious. 2nd floor is huge and with lots of space and nice views. Fast internet -I even worked in conferences on my computer while there. Like new or brand new furniture. Always shade and sun outside to enjoy. Big deck. Perfect to eat outside or relax. The best is the area of Vallecito. There are 4 main hiking trails just minutes from the cabin. One just 0.5mi. The views from the cabin are amazing. Walk in the night, in darkness, to see the stars like you have never seen! We did every night in our stay. Bring warm clothes for the night and summer ones for the day. Host and family live next to cabin. Host was one of the many highlights of our stay. He is so caring and interesting but he also respected our privacy. We felt we were the only ones around. lol. We enjoyed feeding the fish and ducks in the pond, learning how to row, sleeping in the hammocks a couple of times. Cabin offers many games and good books for guests stay. No mosquitoes. Fresh clean water you can drink from faucets. Good shower pressure but be patient calibrating the water temperature at first. Grill and fire pit provided. Very quiet area and total silence at night. Squirrels come every night around 5pm to eat their pine cones next to cabin. Many chipmunks and deers around. River with amazing mountain views next to the property pond. Barely any traffic in the road. Vallecito has 2 basic stores. (Big stores are 45 min drive. Not an issue if you organize yourself) One restaurant with valley views from big patio not far at all. Vallecito lake and areas around offer many corners to be away from the world, enjoy and exercise. We spent most of our time and days in Vallecito. We will be back. Downtown Bayfield is friendly and with several good restaurants to eat., too. We had no phone reception but we used google voice when needed. I'm sure I forget something. We just love the cabin and Vallecito so much. I hope you do, too.
