Nice view of the reservoir and away from civilization.

10/10

All the high tech gizmos you could want! Maybe too many cameras? Felt like you were being watched the whole time . Not the best location for pets as you are right next to a busy road with no fences ,but we made it work. Really cool listening to the ice on the lake reverberate up and down the whole lake at night!

The location is perfect! It has everything you need plus more. We travelled with family, and it had more than enough space for us all. The balcony views from every angle were a plus! I do wish the lake was more accessible from the home, but the drive to swimming and fishing have great views. Loved our stay!

This house has a great layout for both group family time and separate spaces to relax. Good foodie kitchen and good stock of everything you need. This was our second year staying in this house and it is being well maintained

Loved this little getaway with my family! Everything was great but we could not find any area of the lake that was within walking distance like the title says. The house is also not toddler friendly (which is no ones fault but ours for not looking more carefully!!) but with makeshift baby gates we had a great time 😊 other than that, the house was very clean, cozy and perfect for a relaxing getaway!

The cabin is right off of the main road and is easy to find. Once we were in, I was a bit taken aback because the photos make the cabin look bright and well maintained. It was very dark and a bit damp smelling. There were spider webs everywhere. It seems as if the house doesn't get dusted often. The worst part was that there was pet hair on every couch, bed, blanket, and carpet throughout the house. I specifically chose a location that did NOT allow pets, because my child is highly allergic. This property was covered in pet hair. The downstairs was old and out of date with a small kitchen that could not be used and a pump that ran throughout the night. It was not restful. The cabin seems to still contain contents of the owner. There were clothes in the closet, food in the cabinets and expired food in the refrigerator. Yuck! The light cover on the fan fell off and fortunately did not hit anyone. This place looks as if there has been some remodeling over time. With some more work, cleaning, and the carpets thrown out, this could be a nice place. By the way, the property is more than just a short walk to the lake. I did like that the electronics were new. The wifi had a strong signal and the games that were provided, the children enjoyed.

10/10

Enjoyed the cabin very much. Was well equiped and spacious. Great outdoor space. Had some door keypad issues. Owner called the first night to give some instructions. That was nice. Just some hints for future renters. Understand there is no bedroom on the main floor. No bathroom in the upstairs where there is a bedroom. The mechanical for the cooling, etc. are kind of loud for light sleepers. There is really no way to walk to the lake from the cabin. If you want to fish or just do anything around the lake you need to pay a daily or weekly fee per vehicle. These are not big issues but maybe things people would like to be aware of. Thanks for sharing your great cabin!

Short hike to the lake, which was beautiful. New stainless appliances, heated floors, comfortable furniture. Perfect for a group; separated spaces for relaxing.

Everything was just as described. Clean and welcoming. Other family members were camping in the nearby campground and it was less than a ten minute drive to meet up with them and spend the day on the beach and in the water. Perfect!

Perfect lake front vacation home! Best part is the cabin itself! Filled with games and adventurous enough for our children!

This is a beautiful home in a striking location. It is equipped with everything as If the owners just stepped out: linens, spices, Kleenex & paper necessities, etc. The furniture and the beds are very comfortable and the decorations are perfect for a mountain cabin. The yard is well kept and the Fairy Garden is so cute. Both bedrooms are up/down stairs, something a senior might need to consider. Thank you so much for sharing your home with us.

10/10

We loved it! It’s quiet and very cozy and homey. The owner is the sweetest and was very welcoming. The cute little details made it rustic but the cabin still has all the amenities. The views are amazing and it’s close to shops and restaurants. We will for sure return in the summer for a longer staycation!!

The listing couldn’t begin to do it justice. The cabin was perfectly balanced between open & spacious, and cozy. The views were incredible and the living space was beautiful— the wood, stone, and lush carpet throughout the place gave a true, nostalgic cabin feel. The architecture and cool light fixtures were just modern & unique enough to separate this cabin from the rest and elevate it a next level stay. Heated bathroom floor was a great bonus!! The hosts went above and beyond to be welcoming and accommodating, and everything we could’ve wanted or needed was right at our fingertips. I wish I could give far more than 5 stars.

The living area needs updated. Old carpet in living room. The downstairs bathroom is totally remodeled and nice but the main level is from the 70s. Wi-fi is terrible and you can barely see the lake. It was clean, but we were a little disappointed for the price. We also didn’t realize it was so far from Durango.
