This cabin is authentic as it comes! My family of 4 ( my husband, 3 year old and 2 year as well as myself) absolutely LOVED it! The river, treasure island, and the serenity of it was everything we dreamed! If we could have extended our stay we would have! My son still asks if we can go back to “the cabin.”

Thank you so much for such a wonderful review! We’re absolutely delighted to hear that your family loved the cabin and that it was everything you dreamed of. The river, Treasure Island, and the peaceful setting truly make it a special place, and it means so much to know it created such memorable moments for your family.
Hearing that your son is still asking to go back to “the cabin” truly made our day—that’s the greatest compliment we could receive! We would love to welcome you back anytime and hope you’re able to extend your stay next time.
Thank you for being a wonderful host! The property was wonderful and the neighborhood was friendly. The walks and fishing on treasure island were perfect! Morning coffee on the patio waiting for the sun to reach the cabin was one of the high points of every day. When we come back to the area, we will be looking to see if this property is available!

Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication
Disliked: Location
The cabin is beautiful and very comfy and clean. Only reason for the 3 star rating is due to the following:1. Every dish we used had to be cleaned due to old crusted food. We ended up buying disposable dishware. 2. Location pictures are very misleading. Images made it seem like the cabin was more secluded and that was not the case. There are other homes quite close. Also, a road backs to the property so if you open the windows the swish of cars is easily heard. 3. River access. Images made it seem like it was easily accessible but that was not the case. We were hoping for a more secluded area and unfortunately it was not what we got. The cabin itself was lovely and a wonderful experience for our kids. There were plenty of blankets and towels and other necessities. The king size bed was the most comfortable one we’ve ever had during a stay which we absolutely loved. Now that we know what to expect we still would consider returning. It really is a lovely cabin.

Hi Patricia,
Thank you so much for your thoughtful and detailed review. We truly appreciate sharing both the positives and the areas where we missed the mark. I'm very glad to hear that you found the cabin beautiful, clean, and comfortable, and that you family - especially your kids- enjoyed the stay. It means a lot to us that the king bed and overall amenities added to your comfort.
I sincerely apologize about the dishware not being up to standard. That is not the experience we aim to provide, and we will be addressing this immediately with our cleaning team to ensure all kitchen items are thoroughly checked before every guest arrives.
Thank you as well for your honest feedback about the location, road noise, and river access. We understand how important seclusion is for many guests, and we'll be reviewing our listing photos and descriptions to make sure they accurately reflect the surrounds so future guests can make informed expectations.
We're grateful that, despite these concerns, you still found the cabin lovely an dwould consider returning. Your feedback helps us improve, and we'd love the opportunity to host you again with an even better experience next time.
Warm regards,
-Holly
Thank you for your kind words! We're glad you enjoyed the cabin and the peaceful neighborhood. We'd love to host you again!

We loved the cabin and it's close vicinity to both Lake Vallecito and Durango. We spent our time enjoying both the lake and the local activities. The drive to Silverton was scenic and beautiful! The cabin was everything we expected from the pictures and description of the cabin. We enjoyed grilling in the evening on the Weber grill and spent our mornings on the front porch taking in the breath-taking views. We will definitely make plans to return!

Reviewer Comments:
This cabin was just what was described in the listing.Perfect location for fishing, hiking, biking, golfing. Short distance out of town. Very quiet neighborhood that has two rivers to fish from.Just be prepared that there is one resident that does not like anyone fishing near his property; even though you are fishing from the community property of Treasure Island. Cabin was furnished with everything we needed for our vacation stay!

Thank you so much for your kind review! We’re glad to hear the cabin was just as described and that you enjoyed the convenient location for all your outdoor activities. It’s great to know the home had everything you needed for a comfortable stay. We appreciate your note about the neighbor and will keep that in mind for future guests. We’d be happy to welcome you back anytime!
Quiet, clean, very comfortable, updated, spacious, lovely log cabin! Comfy beds! Easy 20 mins drive to Durango. Great dirt road neighborhood! The "treasure island" is a neighborhood picnic spot between two clean babbling brooks and it is about a 3-4 min walk away. It has small trail and you will love the sound of the two creeks running amongst the pines, so relaxing!
