New Listing! Deer Ridge Cabin | Borders BLM | Dog Friendly | Large Deck

Welcome to Deer Ridge Cabin — Your Mountain Retreat in the Heart of Nature! Nestled on two private acres of forested land, Deer Ridge Cabin offers direct access to scenic BLM hiking trails right from your backyard. Tucked in a peaceful, private neighborhood near Lake Simpatico, you’ll find the perfect spot for paddleboarding, fishing (no license required), and lakeside picnics. Just 15 minutes away, explore the waters of Vallecito Lake and Lemon Reservoir for even more outdoor fun. Bring your dog with you, too! As the sun sets, Bayfield’s designation as a “dark skies” community turns the front deck into your own personal observatory — ideal for stargazing under a canopy of stars.
