Bayfield, Colorado
You're only 20 feet from the shoreline! It just doesn't get any better. This ideal four season getaway is an easy walk to the marina and boat launch. The new outer deck has been finished after a complete renovation of the kitchen. The large granite tabletop seats 6. If you'd rather do your cooking outdoors there is a Blackstone griddle and Weber BBQ under a covered portion of the deck. Both bedrooms are beautifully furnished with queen bed in master, bunk bed in second bedroom and sofa bed in front of the fireplace. Lots of seating in the Great Room. Bring your boat for marina mooring or rent your favorite watercraft at the marina. Thanks to our home being built partially underground, no air conditioner is necessary, as the property naturally maintains a very comfortable temperature from the lake breezes. Please note: Vallecito Lake is an alpine lake fed by the spring run off from snow pack in our local mountains. We often see the lake fill to capacity in the spring and in summer water levels will vary with irrigation use in the lower valleys and summer showers. Summer water temperatures are in the high sixties and ice fishing is very popular in the winter months. Hiking and cross country skiing is popular all around the lake area and nearby streams.
Our property is vacant for much of the off season and we use three security cameras to monitor activity. One camera is above the basement door and guests do not have access to this maintenance area; a camera also covers the rear carport area where the owner's boat is stored; A third post mounted camera is on the front deck with views of patio door and side main entrance. There are no interior cameras and the motion activated exterior cameras are for the guest and host's protection. New for 2024 is a 43" flat screen TV in the master bedroom, a new front porch and a new metal roof.
Could not have been more perfect!
Beautiful lake house only steps from the water. The kitchen and balcony were the highlights of our stay. Highly recommend to anyone wanting a getaway!
We had such a great time on the deck and on the lake. The view of the lake and mountains are spectacular day and night! Location is close to plenty of day excursions. Caught trout right in front of the house.
Clean and comfortable. Kitchen is freshly remodeled, beautiful and fully stocked. Blackstone is a nice touch. House decor is a bit dated but it didn’t matter. The view from the deck makes up for it. Owner/manager is very helpful and detailed in his explanation of everything. We had a great time exploring the area.
Such a great home to relax and reflect upon the adventures of the day. Great location for easy access to some.of the most amazing lanscapes in the four corners area. Excellent experience overall
This place is so peaceful, comfortable and the lake is serene.
This place is the best cabin we have ever stayed it! It has everything you could possibly need and could not be any closer to the lake!
My family and I wanted a quiet cabin with a view to spend Christmas in. This was perfect for us. It’s about 20 min from anything (40 min if you want a main store) and we enjoyed the breathtaking views. It has an open loft concept so if your party has different sleep schedules it may not be ideal for you. For us, we loved being able to hear the kids regardless of where we were in the cabin. We will go back in the summer when we can enjoy the beautiful lake!
We had a great stay at this location! The house was perfectly situated for us to enjoy the fall foliage views from the deck. We were also able to enjoy nearby amenities easily. The kitchen was great, and we cooked every meal on the property. Ron had everything we needed right there. A wonderful getaway to remember!
We really enjoyed this house. The owner was most helpful and the house had everything you could need for a relaxing stay including a large deck with a beautiful view of the lake and mountains. The location, beautiful kitchen, spa, fireplace area, and large windows in living room are definitely standouts to this lakefront house!
We had an amazing time staying here. The view of Vallecito from every part of the home was priceless. Mornings were spent on the deck, with a cup of coffee watching the sunrise over the lake. The kitchen island is oriented perfectly to view the lake from inside. The great room also had floor to ceiling windows to see the beautiful lake. Days were warm and nights were cool so there is no need for A/C as the breeze kept the house the perfect temperature. The owner was there to greet us and showed us everything we needed to know to have the perfect weekend and was extremely helpful. He told us to call if we had any questions, but, we didn't need to as everything was perfect. We are already planning our next trip to this amazing home!
We came out here to be able to enjoy the mountain air and get a little away from town so that we could relax and enjoy the lake and surrounding areas. This was an excellent location just about 25minutes out of Durango down a beautiful wooded and pasture surrounded road. The house was amazing, a newly remodeled kitchen ready to be cooked in and an amazing deck to enjoy coffee at, or just relax with the water view of the Vallecito Reservoir/Lake. The lake has rentals for pontoons, boats, and a few other things, but we brought our own paddle boards that we were able to enjoy and take out. We also went and checked out Lake Nighthorse for a day of Paddle Boarding which was equally as beautiful. Ron was a pleasure and was there at the time of checking to show us around and ensure that we had everything that we needed. He was always available via text if we had any questions as well. We spent a good amount of time enjoying the relaxation of the deck and views of the lake and would definitely come back again some time in the future. Thank you for an amazing stay, Ron!
Because Ron & Cindy's lake house is so beautiful and comfortable, you would not want to go anywhere!! We are a family of 3 plus a dog and it was absolutely perfect for us. We've stayed at many vacation rentals in the past but this was the fisrt time we got to meet the owners during check in. It made us feel confident that we are in a house that's under excellent care. If you are staying for several days, use the kitchen to cook. Very well stocked and brand new AND as I mentioned, you would not want to leave the place!! We can't wait to return for another little retreat to this place.
We really enjoyed our stay here. You can't beat being right on the water in this beautiful cabin. The kitchen has great appliances for cooking for the whole family. We would definitely come back!
Not worth the trouble. Move on to the next listing.
Ron was very nice and informative. We will be back soon.
My family felt right at home and the host was very responsive and welcoming.
The deck, amazing. Comfort of the home great. LOCATION EXCELLENT! The owners were kind and always available. Will come back next year!
