Family Fall Break

We had a great stay! The views of the changing colors was beautiful! We were able to fish, hike, walk the road around the house, cook meals, have great day trips and connect as a family. We enjoyed the games at the house - my kids learned Monopoly and Checkers and never asked to turn on the TV!!

Off The Beaten Path

The Eagle's Nest was just that...up on the hill overlooking the valley below. The property had plenty of room for 5 of us, with lots to see and explore outdoors. The cabin is well maintained and stocked with most of what is needed for a comfortable stay. Everyone in the neighborhood we encountered were very friendly and congenial.

Wonderful Cabin!

Charming secluded cabin at the top of the hill. Excellent views. Love the deck and the hummingbirds feeders. Older building but upgraded appliances and technology. Nice hot water. Super staff. Great location for the lake, local restaurants, and jumping off point for adventures

Superb Deck, Wildlife and Views

The location is amazing! The deck is the best part of the property. We had the best time photographing the wildlife. Made friends with the female hummingbird, saw a deer walk though and watched the eagles look for prey. The house is well equipped. There are plenty of games and space for a large family. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay. Was sad to leave but hope to return again very soon!

Love the Eagle's Nest!!

A lot of times you look at the pictures of places and think that through perspective or framing that the place or the views won't be as good when you get there. That is NOT the case for the Eagle's Nest! In fact, the pictures do not do it justice at all! The view is incredible - with a deck that gives you an amazing view over Vallecito Lake or of snow capped mountains! We definitely would stay again!

Mobile home..... NOT a CABIN

We booked this property under the assumption of it being a "cabin"......It is indeed NOT a cabin but a mobile home perched on a lovely overlook with a fabulous view. There was little privacy due to the thin walls and creaking floors. The bathroom door in the master bedroom allowed an inch and a half of light into the room due to a very poor fit. All the construction was shabby. Housekeeping was sorely lacking. There was an inch of dust/dirt on the ceiling fans and the pots hanging from the kitchen. The bedspread was covered with dog hair..... not our dog as we didn't bring a dog. The master bedroom sheets were stained brown (from sweaty bodies) and worn through to the lower sheet. I actually sent the property manager a picture because I was totally grossed out. I was given an excuse/apology and told there were other sheets in the closet if I wanted to change them. Just what I wanted to do on my vacation!! Not to mention we PAID a great deal of money to rent this place. The washer and dryer we were expecting was not installed which was another great disappointment as we had anticipated washing our hiking clothes before our flight home. In summary, I would NOT book this place until they get their pricing in line with staying in a dirty mobile home and representing it as such. You could do so much better...…. KEEP LOOKING!

Wonderful place. Great views. Cabin has everything one can possibly want.

We had an amazing time. Great location - lake, mountains with aspen forests stocked with mushrooms, mesa verde national park … all within 1.5 hours away. Cabin has fantastic views, dozens of hummingbirds, chipmunks, deer - just have your morning coffee and observe nature. Did not want to leave.

Eagle’s Nest

This place is spectacular! We spent 7 nights at the cabin and the view never ceased to amaze my family and I. The cabin comes with everything you need and is super clean. The drive to and from the lake is beautiful and there is a store at the bottom of the hill for necessities. My kids, 11 and 14, loved it. We definitely want to stay there again!

Perfect family cabin

This is our second time to stay at this cabin. Just as before, it was comfortable and easy. The kitchen is well stocked to cook and grill. The views from the deck are amazing. We enjoyed coffee and evening drinks looking out over the lake. Day trips to Durango, Silverton and Pagosa Springs are easy to do from this location too. Our family will be back!

Cleanliness

House needs a good deep cleaning. Deck was the best thing about Eagle's Nest. Beautiful mountain views. The Vallecito grocery store owner was not happy with us leaving garbage in his dumpster. We told him we were guests of David Ash but he said Mr. Ash tells all his guests to leave their garbage in his dumpster. He was really rude and not happy about the situation.
