A true lakefront escape, Water’s Edge Cabin sits right on the shores of Lake Vallecito—perfectly placed between Durango and Bayfield and just a short walk to the marina. Wake up to panoramic water views, sip coffee on the deck, and spend your days playing on the lake.
Perched above the shoreline, the cabin offers direct access for fishing, canoeing, and kayaking, plus multiple decks for grilling, lounging, and soaking in the mountain air. Inside, every room frames the lake, creating a calm, cozy backdrop for your stay. The home features a full kitchen, 3 bedrooms, 2 bathrooms, and a relaxed open living/dining area with a Smart TV and an electric fireplace area - ideal for gathering after a day outdoors.
Think slow mornings, sunset dinners on the deck, and star‑filled nights—this is Colorado lake life at its best.

Great, quiet location. Nice drive into Durango and even over to Mesa Verde.Was a little disappointed that the lake was so low, but found out that it wasn’t due to drought and that it would be back up after winter. House was nice and clean, beds comfy. A bit inconvenient for both bathrooms to be downstairs. Overall, we had a great stay.

It was a nice cabin right on the water. They need better directions how to get to the cabin and better signage. There are no stores or restaurants in the vicinity. You have to drive 3 to 4 miles to find a store or restaurant. The cabin was nice with three bedrooms upstairs and one downstairs. Beautiful decks all around the house overlooking the water. It was an enjoyable time.

Great rental. Great views. Very cozy. The lower level bedroom closet is tucked away behind the door. I accidentally left a couple shirts, was charged $80 for the host to return them....thought that was a little bit ridiculous since cost of shipping was no more than $20-25.

Incredible Lakeside Cabin
This waterfront cabin is charming, with amazing views of Lake Vallecito and loads of relaxing porches. That said, the stairs inside the cabin are not easily climbed, that first step is a doozy without a solid bar to hang onto. All but one of the beds are located upstairs, but both bathrooms are downstairs, so not very convenient. Over all, the cabin was peaceful and just right for two of us - we had a lovely anniversary trip.

The home is comfortable and the view is beautiful. We washed all dishes before using them as they all appeared less than clean. We had a difficult time playing family games as the lighting was poor. If these 2 things were corrected it would be a great property. It was peaceful and had everything we needed.

We had a great time at this cabin! Its about 30-40 minutes to most things in Durango. The lake is beautiful. All bedrooms have a great view of the lake. Both bathrooms are downstairs. The home has a double kayak with one paddle when we stayed there. We brought our own life jackets. We hiked around some of the trails near the lake and it was so beautiful. The cabin was well stocked except there were no coffee filters. Would definitely come back to this cabin and this lake.

Beautiful but needs a little work
The biggest concern was the leaking kitchen sink. There is a note stating do not use the disposal, but that's not the real issue. The drain pipe is not connected to the disposal so using the left side of the sink will result in major flooding. Also, simply using the right side results in water/soap overflowing the drain pipes and flooding the cabinet. Also, the hot/cold water supplies are reserved in the bathroom just off the kitchen. There is also a flickering light in the kitchen which appears to be poorly wired and a potential fire hazard. Overall we loved our stay but these issues should be addressed for the safety of future guests.

Reviewer Comments:
The mountain and lake views from this cabin are just perfect! The cabin overlooks Vallecito Lake with not one but two porches to choose from. A nice balcony for morning coffee and a lower one for a nice lunch/dinner outside in the shade. Another bonus is you are just a few hops skips and jumps to the water. Getting to the water can be a bit tricky immediately below the cabin, but a short walk down the hill is an easier access trail. Now for the cabin itself...the layout is a little strange. The biggest bed (queen size) in the house is upstairs, where the master bedroom only has a double and pushed up against the wall. The master bedroom is a bit of a small space but is manageable. The cabin can sleep up 6 in beds and probably a couple more on the couch, but the conditions would be tight. The kitchen and living areas are pretty small and the second bathroom is tiny. There are some tradeoffs with this cabin. If you are going to be out and active all day and just use this cabin as a basecamp for eating and sleeping, like we were, then this place is perfect. The cabin is maybe a quarter mile from the marina where you can rent a boat, kayak, paddle boards, swim, etc. Great location for some days on the lake! If you are looking for quiet solitude under the trees with a fire pit to huddle around in the mornings and evenings this is not the place, but to see sunrise over the mountains and lake...just perfection.The directions to the property were very helpful and the checkout was super easy.

The view was great the bathrooms were clean everything else was a huge disappointment. Heat was on continuously with no adjustment. Extension cords operated most of the lighting and box fans for cooling. One of the fans did not work and one of the cords had bare wires. Not used to having to do a safety walk through and fix issues before occupying a $350 per night rental cabin. Outdoor grille was missing the grate and looked unsafe to operate overall. Multiple stains in the carpet and cobwebs throughout. The host reached out to make sure everything was to expectation. The issues were not simple missteps they were a result of a failure to provide the quality represented in the ad and description of the property.

Cozy cabin on the lake
The cabin is very cozy although the sleeping arrangement was a bit awkward. The bed downstairs (master bedroom?) has a double bed up against the wall so not ideal for a couple - one person would be up against the wall and have to crawl over the other person to use the bathroom. We opted to use the queen bed upstairs but there is no bathroom up there so we had to manage the stairs during the night to use the bathroom.
The “master” downstairs has broken blinds on the window that looks directly into the neighbors house. The blinds don’t come down so I found an extra sheet in the closet upstairs to drape over the window for privacy.
I am allergic/sensitive to scented soaps and itched for hours. I finally had to go downstairs and get fully dressed (including socks) in order to sleep. I travel a lot all over the world and almost all places use scent free laundry detergent but every once in a while I run into this problem.
There was plenty of coffee but no filters. The property manager said that they weren’t provided but for that pricepoint they really should be. And why coffee but no filters? Strange!
The property manager contacted me 10 times in two days which was over the top. They said to contact them if there was anything that could make our stay perfect and yet the one thing we wanted (coffee filters) was not provided and the local store was closed. So that suggestion was not helpful at all! And too many check out time reminders!
