OVERVIEW

Comfortable Dog-Friendly Home within Walking Distance of Lake - Wooded Setting

Come to Vallecito Lake for your next mountain getaway and stay in this welcoming two-bedroom (plus loft) home for 10, which boasts walking distance to the lake and easy access to hiking trails and dining. This home is ideal for a couple of families vacationing together or hunters and anglers looking for a budget-friendly accommodation in a stunning mountain setting. Dogs welcome.

You'll be situated near the shores of Vallecito Lake, so you can easily walk to boating and fishing. Hiking trails are plentiful around the lake and are perfect for communing with nature on foot or horseback. Durango is about 23 miles away, and Purgatory is about 47 miles away for skiing in the winter and mountain biking and various festivals in the summer. Take a day trip to Mesa Verde to explore ancient dwellings of the Anasazi, or ride the Durango and Silverton Narrow Gauge Railroad.

Get a fire going in the wood stove, then settle in and relax in the living room with free WiFi or a TV show, or simply enjoy the company of family and friends. The in-house washer/dryer allow you to pack light, and a gas grill is a great option for quick, easy meals, which you can enjoy together on the sun-drenched deck.

Book this Bayfield rental today and come immerse yourself in peaceful mountain living!
