This 2-story cabin is on 2 acres of serene wilderness, surrounded by tall pine trees in the beautiful community of Forest Lakes, Colorado.

It is located 6 miles north of Bayfield where you can find amenities such as grocery stores and several restaurants for your added convenience. (Four wheel drive and/or chains necessary during winter months).

The cabin is also located only 20 miles south of Vallecito Lake, one of the largest lakes in Colorado where you can enjoy endless activities such as, hiking, boating, fishing, horseback riding, jet skiing in the summer, ice fishing, skiing, tubing and snow shoeing in the winter. You can also easily enjoy the superb shopping and dining in the historic city of Durango, only 30 miles away.

The cabin is available all year and throughout the hunting season and is located near over a half million acres of public land and big game habitat and is a top pick for hunting Elk, Mule Deer and Turkey. Guided hunting trips are available.

Awesome Mountain Cabin!
My wife and I rented the cabin to get away from Houston for our 5th Anniversary. This place is awesome! A peaceful mountain getaway with all the comforts of home. Little did we know that the first snow of the season would come early this year and dump almost 20inches of snow. While it was extremely beautiful, we were so glad we had an AWD SUV to safely navigate back down the mountain. We would come back again and love to do some summer hiking. Thanks for a great hideaway just outside of Durango!

About the host

Hosted by Shannon Ordonez

Host profile image
Years ago my husband and I built this home as a second home for us to enjoy during our retirement. Since his passing, I have decided that sharing this property and its surrounding beauty with others would be far more rewarding than selling it.

Why they chose this property

Truly the perfect place to relax and enjoy all the serenity and natural beauty that southwest Colorado has to offer or if you are an outdoors enthusiast you can enjoy each season to its fullest. The property is private, yet not far from the town of Bayfield where you have access to many amenities.

What makes this property unique

Close to amenities such as grocery stores, movie rentals and restaurants. A short 30 minute drive to amazing shopping and dining at historic Durango. Fishing at our communities stocked, 25 acre private lake. (no fishing license required). All kinds of lake activities at nearby Vallecito Lake including fishing, boating, jet skiing and ice fishing and over 500 miles of hiking and hunting trails.
