Vallecito has two restaurants and two small stores. One of the restaurants and the General Store are a 3-minute walk from the cabin. If you need a lot of groceries for your stay, we recommend shopping at one of the grocery stores in Durango on your way to the cabin. Weminuche Woodfire Grill (Bar & Restaurant), Vallecito Lake Country Market (lunches/ small store) 18071 CR 501. There is a small market, Family Dollar, and Dollar General in Bayfield. If you plan to do a big shop, we recommend you go to Albertsons, City Market, or Walmart in Durango. 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.
