BungalowExperience the serenity of the Bungalow cabin overlooking the lake and mountains for a private, secret adventure. The large scenic windows bring in the intimate outside beauty – a companion to be savored at leisure. View lush gardens and listen to a vast array of birds from the log cabin interior. Make use of the binoculars and study the bird identification book in the cabin library. Enjoy morning coffee, homemade bread and cherry/raspberry jam on a sunny deck or a garden table. Catch an early canoe ride or a five-pound bass. Special vacation rental rates apply to seven night stay. Type of bed: | |
![]() | Garden CottageThe Garden Cottage is a wonderful surprise in a private setting! Nestled by itself amid lush gardens and wildlife, this charming log cabin has a peek-a-boo view looking East to the private lake and the La Plata Mountains. Indulge yourself or your family in a private holiday retreat where you can rest, paint, read a book, write a poem or take a class. On the covered deck ... languish in overstuffed furniture, drink fresh coffee or watch the joyous antics of birds. Contemplate a thought, a book or a loved one in the morning light, the immensity of stars, the brilliance of moonrise or the exquisite beauty of rainbows reflecting in water. Eat toast and cherry/raspberry jam. Do a Tai Chi form or some Yoga. Snuggle with your sweetheart on a couch in front of the cozy fireplace or on the deck. Feel the gardens thick with the scents of flowers and the blur of hummingbirds. Thrill to delicious fall air, autumn color or huge winter snowflakes followed by sparkling sun. Take your child on an adventure. Go fishing, take a hike, a boat ride. Adventure out to nearby Mesa Verde National Park, take a stagecoach ride in the Mancos Valley or horseback riding in the mountains with "real" cowboys. Study the area's fascinating Indian Culture at the Anasazi Heritage Museum, Hovenweep, Canyon of the Ancients or the Ute Mountain Tribal Park.

Slow down
What a special place this is to slow down, enjoy nature and each other. We picked the right night to be here with the winter's first snow deocrating the landscape. The cabins and furnishings were over the top. 24 hour stay seemed like a week of relaxation. Thanks for letting us share your magical place.

Snuggling or outdoor adventure
We could have snuggled and lounged the entire time we stayed as comfortable and cozy was the bungalow. But cross country adventuring in the crisp early winter cold under blue skies was too alluring and ultimately more rewarding... This is as many have extolled a magical place for anyone whose eyes are open, whose senses are alive and whose soul is married to the benevolence that is the source of wonder in our lives.

Serene spot. It was the perfect spot for our wedding and just what we had hoped for. We really enjoyed fishing on the canoe, the hot tub and looking at the lake from our window every morning. This place is much more than we expected. Thank you for making it a memorable weekend
