About this cabin rental

Enjoy cool afternoon breezes overlooking Lake Vallecito from the large deck at the Nellie May Cabin. Just a few minutes' walk through the trees and you arrive at the lake side. Nellie May is close to the marina, restaurants, liquor stores, and grocery stores. This charming cottage-style cabin is the perfect spot for your next getaway. The cabin boasts a spacious full kitchen, two bedrooms, a full bath, a cozy living room with a large picture window, propane grill and firepit on the deck, a wood-burning stove, and a loft with a hammock for afternoon naps. Play all day at the lake or on the trails and then relax in a quiet evening on the deck with its gas firepit or in front of the wood-burning stove. Enjoy a night out at the Weminuche Woodfire Grill, which generally has music on the weekends. Lounge in the morning sun as you dig into your freshly made burrito at the La Comida Ranchera Mexican Restaurant. Nellie May offers a memorable Colorado mountain cabin experience. We provide an outdoor dog pen for your furry friend when you're at the cabin.

The Nellie May Cabin is all that we had hoped for - simple but thoughtfully arranged. Everything was there for out comfort - good mattresses, impecably clean, complete kitchen. We loved sitting out on the deck looking at the trees, the wildlife and the lake beyond. Also great communication..

Rating Details: The property manager was more than helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was very happy with the location. I was more than satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: The cabin was delightful and well kept. It had great views and easy access to the lake and surrounding areas. The Weminuche Woodfire Grill was great for dine in and take out. We had pizza at the cabin our first night just to make life easy. Not far from Durango but much quieter than the tourist noise of Durango.The beds could use an update.

Charming and amazing views! We loved the detached poorch. Parking is on the hill and a little tricky so just know that in advance.
6.0 / 10.0Average·Jun 2024
Slide down the gravel road and through the ditch to park with other cabins surrounding. No dishwasher or laundry machines or cable tv (Basic). The back porch is not connected to the cabin, which was very disappointing for us, and not being able to walk down to the lake because the trail is overgrown. But, very clean with a decent view of the mountain and lake through the trees!
