    What's special

    Welcome to your own slice of mountain paradise at Vallecito Lake! Tucked among the tall pines and set along the gentle flow of D Creek, this classic A-frame cabin offers a peaceful escape with an irresistible mix of rustic character and modern comforts. Lovingly maintained by the same family since 1980, this creekside retreat is ready for its next chapter. MAIN LEVEL: Step inside to a warm and inviting main level featuring a cozy living room anchored by a stone fireplace—perfect for gathering on cool mountain evenings. The bright dining area, just off the kitchen, is ideal for family meals, game nights, or crafting with a view. A spacious primary suite with en suite bath, a second full bathroom with laundry, and generous storage round out the main level. UPSTAIRS, you’ll find three large bedrooms, another full bath, and a sunny balcony overlooking the picturesque setting—perfect for morning coffee or evening stargazing. OUTSIDE, enjoy approximately 150 feet of water frontage on D Creek, where the soothing sound of water sets the tone for relaxation. With irrigation rights for up to 5,000 sq ft of lawn or garden space, there’s room to grow your mountain oasis. The expansive deck has been recently rebuilt, providing an ideal space for BBQs, morning yoga, or simply taking in the fresh pine-scented air. A storage shed keeps your gear organized, and with no HOA or covenants, and the home sold fully furnished, this is a turn-key opportunity for a vacation home or short-term rental. OUTDOOR OPPORTUNITIES: Just minutes from Vallecito Lake, you’ll enjoy easy access to a wide range of year-round recreation: boating, paddleboarding, and fishing in the summer, and snowshoeing and cross-country skiing in winter. The surrounding San Juan National Forest offers miles of hiking, biking, ATV, and horseback riding trails. Grab a meal at one of the nearby seasonal restaurants or explore the charming nearby communities of Bayfield and Durango. Don’t miss your chance to own this creekside gem in one of Southwest Colorado’s most treasured lake communities. The mountains are calling—make this your basecamp for adventure and relaxation!
