Beautiful Meadow View

Bayfield, Colorado, United States

Newly renovated 2 Bedroom 1 bath Cabin with large yard that sits along a big beautiful meadow at the base of Weminuche Wilderness. The views are breathtaking as you look out to the towering peaks that reach over 13 thousand feet. With newly remodeled floor, bathroom, and kitchen you'll enjoy every minute of your stay. Master bedroom has a spacious queen size bed along with plenty of lighting and large clothes dresser. The second bedroom has two twin size beds along with a dresser and lamp. Both bedrooms have plenty of space in the closets to hang things up. Just off the kitchen there is a queen size couch hide-a-bed. The kitchen is fully stocked with plenty of dishes, cookware, both a full size coffee pot and Keruig machine with supplied pods, coffee and filters. There is several ice trays in the freezer. In the living room you'll find a smart TV along with a couple board games if you decide to stay inside. During Summer and Fall there is a cold water only washing machine and clothes dryer if you need to do any laundry. The cabin is less then a quarter mile from a popular trailhead that leads deep into the wilderness. If boating and fishing is your thing you'll love how close you are to Vallecito Reservoir where there's awesome Trout, Pike, Walleye, Small mouth Bass, and Kokanee salmon. There is 2 rivers that feed the lake where you can fly fish. If horseback riding is more your liking there are several companies that do horseback rides during the summer months. Minutes away are several trailheads that lead to many hours of exploring and adventures in one of Colorado's largest wildernesses. If you want to bring an RV or trailer you'll find lots of space for parking as well as an RV dump station on the property. This is a dog friendly property but we do have a dog fee as well as a limit of 2 dogs. We just ask that your furry friends do not get on any of the furniture or beds please.

Vallecito Lake - Heaven's View

Bayfield, Colorado, United States

Perched hundreds of feet above Lake Vallecito, this professionally managed, 2-story floor plan with two living areas opens up to the stunning views of the lake and mountain peaks. Looking through high windows, three sliding glass doors or sitting outside on one of the two decks provide aerial landscapes that will take your breath away! brbrCO Sales Tax #30377430brWildlife abounds at your doorstep, with the chipmunks and deer at play. Hummingbirds buzz by the deck, while eagles and osprey soar above the lake. Vallecito Reservoir, sheltered in a mountain valley at 6,700 feet elevation, is one of the largest and most beautiful lakes in Colorado. The San Juan National Forest and Weminuche Wilderness, over 2.5 million acres of public land, surround Vallecito Lake and touch the north boundary of this spectacular mountain retreat. Families can hike or horseback directly to the wilderness area and the Continental Divide. brbrThree rock fireplaces provide warmth to the master bedroom and two living areas. Vaulted ceilings showcase the T&G wood ceiling and floor to ceiling windows. The house was recently furnished, freshly decorated and has all new bedding. The spacious kitchen and open floorplan is perfect for entertaining. The small kitchenette downstairs provides additional comforts for large families or two family stays. The two car garage and walk off 2nd story porch provides added comfort.brSummer or winter, this location is for those who want to experience the adrenaline of mountain lake experiences and skiing or just want to relax and enjoy the beauty of the wilderness and the star-filled skies at night. brbrFall brings beautiful changing colors of the aspen and fishing opportunities in the two rivers that continually feed the lake. The house is situated above Vallecito Marina and timing the lake’s salmon run is a lasting event in itself. With over 50 miles of streams and numerous ‘hike in’ mountain lakes, the opportunities to catch rainbows, brookies, browns, and cutthroats are like the views, endless. Larger Pike, Rainbow and Brown Trout troll the lake. The adjacent wilderness area is Colorado's largest, and adventurers can hunt and hike on 500 miles of trails. brbrWinter snowmobiling and cross country skiing can be enhanced by short drives to Durango Mountain Resort/Purgatory and Wolf Creek. All-wheel or 4-wheel drive necessary to access the property during winter months.

Peaceful Nostalgic Mountain Home Memories in the beautiful Vallecito Valley!

Bayfield, Colorado, United States

Mountain Serenity - Near Vallecito Lake - Home Comforts with Nostalgic Decor in the Mountains! This home is ready for you to make life-long memories in the Vallecito Valley surrounded by breathtaking mountains. The property is located just north of Vallecito Lake in the heart of the mountains near Vallecito Creek and the village of Vallecito, Colorado. 13,000+ foot peaks are visible to the north and mountains are everywhere you look. brbrThe calendar is kept up-to-date, so choose your time to come enjoy our peaceful mountain retreat. There is plenty of room in the home with 3,000 square feet. Sit in front of the roaring fireplace or by the warm wood-burning stove while planning your choice of fun activities. Vallecito Lake is one of Colorado's largest and most beautiful lakes. Vallecito (pronounced 'vy-ya-see-toe') is only 23 miles northeast of Durango. The beautiful recreational area offers year-round enjoyment for the entire family.brbrThe home is well furnished with delightfully rustic, nostalgic mountain decor and charming antiques. The kitchen is modern and well equipped and there is a large dining table for great family meals. Games and puzzles are provided, as well as informational brochures about local points of interest and activities. There are 4 bedrooms with beds for 10 (1 king, 2 queens and 2 fulls) and 2 bathrooms. If you just can’t leave the modern world behind, high-speed wireless internet and a Smart TV are provided free of charge. Cell phone coverage is strong.brbrPLEASE NOTE: There are several areas with steps inside the house. The den is 2 steps below the family room, the dining area is 1 step below the kitchen, there are stairs from the downstairs to the upstairs landing, and the two master bedrooms are 2 steps above the landing. There are also 2 steps to enter the 2 front doors. The steps add interesting character to the interior of the home. However, some elderly or mobility impaired people find these steps challenging, and this should be taken into consideration before reserving the property. Additionally, please note that all bedrooms are located upstairs.brbrVallecito means “little valley”, and, as the name suggests, the village of Vallecito is nestled between two mountain ridges on the shores of Vallecito Lake. Vallecito has several eateries and small stores. The Pine (Piños) and Vallecito Rivers flow from the Weminuche Wilderness into Vallecito Lake. brbrThe mountain and lake scenery are stunning. Grimes Creek and the Vallecito River are ¼ mile away from the house, and Vallecito Lake is a 1/2 mile to the south. Great fishing can be found at the lake, Pine (Pinos) River & Vallecito River, as well as many local streams. The lake is open to recreation of all types. Boat inspection is required before launching. You can even rent a pontoon boat & fishing gear at the local marina. Fishing is excellent with many game fish including Trout, Salmon, and Northern Pike.brbrIf four-wheeling is your thing, there are miles & miles of off road trails to explore. You will find even more miles of hiking trails following our two rivers into the San Juan National Forest and the Weminuche Wilderness with over 2.5 million acres of public lands with many 13,000+ and 14,000+ peaks that you can explore.brbrRide the '1880's' Durango Silverton Narrow Gauge Railroad, or visit Mesa Verde Anasazi Ruins, visit Silverton’s Mining Town, or soak in the healing hot water in Pagosa Springs or Durango, shop or see a movie in historic Durango. Enjoy a day in the quaint town of Ouray, America’s Little Switzerland, or spend a relaxing summer evening at the Bar-D Chuckwagon supper and show. There are excellent golf courses, numerous museums and of course... the scenic million dollar highway.brbrThere are just as many winter activities such as Snowmobiling, Cross-Country Skiing, Snowshoeing Downhill/Alpine/Nordic Skiing or a Dinner Sleigh Ride at Durango Mountain Resort (Purgatory) and nearby ski areas. The house is not “ski-in/ski-out”. The house is about 1 hour from Durango Mountain Resort and 1 ½ hours from Wolf Creek Ski Resort.br brWe think our mountain home is a peaceful refuge from our busy world. We’re sure you’ll agree!brbrKeywords: cabin, retreat, mountain, hiking, skiing, cross country skiing, lake
