Week in July
Cabin was clean and in a great location. Neighborhood had a small playground and a small lake for fishing. Close to Bayfield which had restaurants, stores and great parks. Also a 30 min drive to Durango or larger Lake Vallecito.

The A Frame
We had such a great time. The cabin was prefect for what we were looking for. All the essentials were provided and made our stay relaxing. The property is not in a bad location. We drove to Durango, Mesa Verde, and a trip to Ouray. Lovely little A Frame in the woods.
