ACCESS TO PROPERTY

Access from the South is gated by the Forest Service for Cross Country Skiing from December to April. Cabins accessible via groomed ski trails snow permitting, December – April.


LAKE LEVELS

Vallecito is a reservoir that provides water for La Plata County. As such, we have no control over lake levels which can vary as much as 20 feet. It isn’t uncommon for water levels to be so high that it can affect plumbing in a few of the cabins for a few weeks during the summer. Port-a-potties will be on-site near affected cabins if this is the case. There is also a bath/shower house up the hill for use in extreme cases. We understand this can be frustrating and will provide a discount if this affects your stay.
Due to the nature of the property and the cabin size, for each undeclared guest that exceeds the number of people the cabin sleeps, there will be a $100 fine per person per night. Please be mindful of the cabin’s capacity when booking and plan accordingly. Each cabin is different, and a larger cabin might suit your group better.


WINTER ACCESS

4WD/AWD May be required from November / March, the property is plowed, however, one hill must be traversed for access, and we cannot guarantee snow will be plowed at arrival.


WEATHER CANCELLATIONS

****We can not predict or control the weather, so we don't offer refunds due to inclement weather. Please keep this in mind when booking; if this is a concern, we recommend purchasing travel insurance (AirBNB provides this while checking out!).****

Hosts are on-site to help with any issues, including access during winter.

Beautiful Retreat!

The cabin worked out perfectly for my husband, mother and myself. The location is in a perfect location for fishing and fun. The water and Mountain views from the cabin windows are simply stunning!!. And the access to the lake is a minute walk from the backyard. Mike and his wife do an amazing job with making your stay comfortable and relaxing. We are very grateful to the Croll family for making their property available for us to use and providing access to a variety of watercrafts and toys for families

Wonderful Rustic!

To experience the beauty and wonder of this place with accommodations like home? Amazing. Now don't get misled, this probably isn't like your home, but a huge step above car camping (and miles away from backpacking) with comfortable beds, a kitchen, indoor plumbing, fireplace and couch, and enough space for my family of 5 to relax in a really peaceful escape from hectic city life. They even had water "toys" we could use (kayaks, and SUP boards), so if we didn't fish, we had diversions for the kids. Fish? YES, Rainbow Trout are biting just below on the Pine river, bring your fly rod kit! Grateful for the time-away spent at the Croll Cabins.
