River Side Mountain Refuge On Vallecito River - Sleeps 9

3 Bedroom, 2 bath cabin in the woods surrounded by water - Cross our mountain stream as you enter the property and enjoy the Vallecito River running through the back. The cabin is privately located in a quiet and relaxing area among majestic ponderosa pines, spruce and fir trees. Enjoy the serene and relaxing atmosphere and watch the local wildlife play among the trees or maybe catch a mule deer drift past. Sit along the river while enjoying an evening fire in the fire ring. There is fishing in the river at anytime. Inside offers all amenities you expect in a vacation cabin. Phone service is by cell service (ATT or Verizon best). The covered deck offers protection from rain and views of the Vallecito river and surrounding area.

Family vacation
This was a great property for our family vacation. The house was very comfortable for our family of 6 and dogs. Being able to fall asleep and wake up to the sound of the river flowing was the icing on the cake.

We loved everything about this cabin! The creek, seeing adult deer, serene and solitude but still accessible (~45 minutes) to Durango. Beautiful and we'd absolutely come back here!

Perfect cabin getaway
We wanted a quiet cabin getaway to escape the Arizona heat and Steve’s cabin was just that. The cabin is right on a beautiful flowing river at the end of a gravel road. Our dog loved the river and sitting on the covered deck watching the chipmunks. The cabin was clean and cozy and just a short drive away from the lake. Can’t wait to go back!

Quick vacation
It is exactly as described. Pictures do not do justice to the flowing river behind the house. Everything was great. I do suggest mosquito spray. We were there in early June. We had 6 people and a dog. They even furnished dog bowls. Great place.

Relaxing and beautiful
We loved the location of this property. The river in the backyard made for a relaxing and unique experience. Fun area for our 2 year old to explore the lake shores of Vallecito lake. Close enough to Bayfield or Durango if you want to go to the store or out to eat. We would stay here again.

Wonderful Setting
Loved the location of this place. Close to the creek (it was running too fast to fish). Very peaceful and relaxing setting. One drawback wa that there was no interior dining table. We made do, but would have love to sit around the table to eat and play games. Hosts were very quick to respond to all questions we had. Thanks for a wonderful stay.

Tranquility by the Creek
Spent the first week in Oct and it was so beautiful with the fall colors and so quiet and relaxing. The fire pit by the creek was our favorite place to hangout and unplug. Spent our days exploring the surrounding lakes and back roads or Durango is close enough for shopping and entertainment. Would definitely go back again.
