Wonderful Setting

Loved the location of this place. Close to the creek (it was running too fast to fish). Very peaceful and relaxing setting. One drawback wa that there was no interior dining table. We made do, but would have love to sit around the table to eat and play games. Hosts were very quick to respond to all questions we had. Thanks for a wonderful stay.

Tranquility by the Creek

Spent the first week in Oct and it was so beautiful with the fall colors and so quiet and relaxing. The fire pit by the creek was our favorite place to hangout and unplug. Spent our days exploring the surrounding lakes and back roads or Durango is close enough for shopping and entertainment. Would definitely go back again.

About the host

Hosted by Steve Hunsicker

In my youth I enjoyed spending many summers visiting family who owned cabins in the area. My most fond memories from my childhood are of our family visits to Vallecito lake; fishing on the river and lake, boating, hiking for hours, exploring, our day trips to Mesa Verde and other mountain towns and making friends among the local residents. It has been my dream for many years to eventually have my own cabin that I can share with family and friends. I have been blessed and now have a cabin of my own that I can enjoy and share. I hope that I can help make some wonderful memories for you to remember.

Why they chose this property

The area is perfectly located as a starting point for any number of adventures and is only a short distance to number of destinations such as Mesa Verde, Durango and Silverton. If you prefer peace and quite and just want to relax the cabin is privately located in a quite neighborhood off the main road and right along a beautiful and relaxing river. Don't worry though you are still only a short distance to the lake, horse outfitters, trail heads, a number of restaurants and other activities so there is always something to do.

What makes this property unique

If you want a private relaxing getaway you will love this property. Perfectly located with easy access to local points of interest, fishing, boating, river and mountain views, privacy, and friendly atmosphere.
