There is a small General Store (Rocky Mountain General Store) in Vallecito, which is good for a quick need or an unexpected craving. It would not be economical to do a “big “shop there. They do have a deli and make sandwiches! There is a small Liquor store next to the General Store with Beer, Wine, & Spirits. They close at 7 pm. Please note that the General Store and Liquor Store are closed every Tuesday.

    Our family of eight had an absolutely wonderful week at this beautiful creekside property!The house was clean and exactly as described in the listing. The open-concept living/dining area was perfect for our family to spend time together, while still giving everyone space to relax.The kitchen was fully stocked with everything we needed to prepare family meals, including a coffee maker that kept us caffeinated throughout the day! Having a washer and dryer was a lifesaver with all the creek and lake activities.The location offered the perfect balance of peaceful relaxation and family fun. Highly recommend this property for families looking for a memorable vacation. Thank you, AC & Maureen, for sharing your beautiful home with us!

    This was the perfect location for our family trip. It was close to our family that lived there and Vallecito lake. The house was the ideal size for our large group, came with all typical household amenities and some cool extras like games and snacks. The kids enjoyed the yard and creek in the backyard. The owners were responsive and checked in during our stay. We would definitely stay here again.

    This was an amazing house. Very rustic on the outside, but very modern on the inside. The owner was just simply amazing and treated us like we were family. She made contact prior to our arrival to give us the in and outs and answer any questions. She also reached out during our stay to make sure everything was perfect. Highly recommend!

    This house was incredible! It fit 7 of us comfortably. The creek was beautiful and our favorite thing was sitting outside drinking coffee. Communication with the owner was great. She was happy to answer any questions we had. We would definitely book here again. We didn't want to leave.

    Our three littles loved all of the bed options, the snacks provided & games available to play! They really loved playing in the backyard near the creek & watching squirrels & deer visit each morning. It is an ideal, quiet location - we were able to walk to the river for fishing and just a short drive to the lake for a pontoon rental. Very clean & well equipped to utilize as a home base for all the fun exploring! Maureen was a great host who was super communicative from the time of booking to check out.

    The property was exactly as shown. It had all the amenities needed. Our grandchildren enjoyed the creek behind the house panning for fools gold. Maureen was absolutely professional and called several times to be sure all was good. We had a family reunion so we were very busy but wish we had more time to just chill at the house, it was so peaceful. We did some hiking at San Juan national park, whitewater rafting on the Animas, took the train to Silverton and went to Foxfire winery for an outside concert. We flew in to Montrose so glad we did, the scenery and Hot Springs were amazing. We would 100 percent recommend and hope to stay there again. The Hughes Florida, June 2023
