About this house rental
Southwest Colorado Plain and Simple! This unique 2100 square foot home is nestled in a secluded mountain meadow, adorned with wildflowers, and surrounded by forests of Aspens and Spruce. The home sits on 11 acres directly bordering the San Juan National Forest and features a Private Fishing Pond, Hiking Trails, Mountain streams, and Mountain Views. With a proximal location to Vallecito Lake, it's a perfect place for a back to nature vacation where you can relax on a covered deck, paddle a canoe and fish on your own glassy pond, encounter a variety of wildlife, gaze into an endless starry night, and enjoy the crystal clear water and cool fresh air of Colorado mountain living.
The two-story house has 4 bedrooms/2.5 bathrooms, along with a comfortable living room with an incredible floor-to-ceiling rock fireplace with plenty of firewood. A large deck wraps around the home with a shaded sitting area looking out over the pond, meadow, and trees. There is a gas bbq grill on the deck.
Fishing is available directly on the property. The pond is stocked with Rainbow Trout and guests are welcome to fish to their hearts content. In order to provide this activity for all of our guests, anglers may only keep 1 fish per nightly stay (ex: 4 night stay = 4 fish). Any additional fishing must be catch and release. **Bring your own fishing gear**
Additional activities include canoeing, hammock area, piano, and a trampoline.

It is very nice to go and stay in the mountains in comfort. It is so very peaceful and beautiful at that cabin.

We had a great time at this property. The grandkids had fun fishing, playing on the trampoline and playground. And we spent a lot of time on nature walks and making s’mores at the campfire. The cabin is very remote which allows for some amazing star gazing. This is a great place for family gatherings.

This property was absolutely perfect for my daughters intimate wedding ceremony! Its so private and very remote! The road leading to the property is a bit sketchy, 4 wheel drive is a good idea. We will definately go back!
5.0 / 10.0·Oct 2021
My wife and I enjoyed our stay at this beautiful cabin. The property surrounding the cabin is stunning with the pond just off the deck and for us all of the fall colors. Greg was great with communication and even called to warn me about possible snow during our stay. He made sure we had all of the information needed and even checked on us after the stay. My wife and I are already talking about booking this place again next year.
