The location:
When you're looking to beat the heat, head down the road to Vallecito Lake and make a splash. Whether you choose to rent a boat from Vallecito Marina, swim, or camp, you'll be surrounded by the gorgeous San Juan National Forest during your time at the lake.
If you prefer rivers to lakes, you're also in luck! With private access to the Los Pinos River, you'll be a quick drive from gold medal fly fishing. No matter how experienced a fisherman you are, you're sure to catch a rainbow, brookie, brown, or cutthroat in the Los Pinos.
Grab your hiking shoes and explore some of the area's beautiful wilderness. Sitting within minutes of the cabin the Vallecito Creek Trail allows hikers to enjoy the sounds of the creek as they climb 1,512 feet in elevation.
For a unique Colorado experience, be sure to explore the quaint town of Durango located down the road. Boasting opportunities to ski, shop, hike, and eat delicious Southwestern fare, Durango is a town that is sure to steal your heart.
Thanks to this cabin's Bayfield location, you'll also be a quick drive from all the Southwest Colorado has to offer!
