Wake up to panoramic lake views and the scent of pine at Aspen Ridge, a beautifully remodeled contemporary retreat perched above Lake Vallecito. With over an acre of privacy and direct year-round access just south of the marina, this modern lake home is the perfect balance of comfort, style, and Colorado mountain charm.

Inside, the open-concept layout invites connection whether you’re gathered around the wood-burning stove in the living room or enjoying a meal with loved ones. There are wall-to-wall windows that bring the lake and forest right to your fingertips. Radiant in-floor heating keeps the home warm and cozy, even in the colder months.

The spacious primary suite features a king bed and ensuite bathroom, while glass-paneled doors throughout the main floor lead to a covered outdoor living area — the true heart of this home. Sip coffee on the deck as the sun rises over the reservoir, fire up the grill for dinner with a view, or simply relax with a good book and the sounds of nature all around.

Upstairs, you’ll find two additional bedrooms and a second TV/play area with its own balcony overlooking the lake. This is a perfect space for kids, teens, or a quiet reading nook. For extra fun, head to the garage-turned-game room, fully equipped and ready for year-round use.

All TVs are Smart Samsung models with access to Samsung TV Plus, and guests are welcome to stream their own favorites via Netflix, Hulu, and more. Whether you're exploring the trails, boating on the lake, or simply soaking in the peaceful surroundings, Aspen Ridge at Lake Vallecito offers a stunning base for your next mountain lake getaway.

NO PETS:  Pets are not allowed at this home.

COOLING: Please note that, like most properties in the area, this home does not have AC, as it is uncommon for homes at this elevation. Temperatures inside the property are easily managed by using fans and opening the windows at night when temperatures drop into the 40s.

NOTE: In winter (November through April), 4WD is required. It is NECESSARY that you have a four-wheel-drive vehicle, vehicles with medium to high clearance and winter/snow tires.  Although the roads and driveway are well-maintained, the road leading up to the home is somewhat steep and will be snow packed and slick.

Visitors consistently rave about the spacious outdoor areas, well-stocked kitchen, and the home's inviting ambiance, making it an ideal retreat for family gatherings and relaxation.

We truly enjoyed our stay, we are an older couple and our 2 (also older) children had a wonderful time here. I can't think of any tech items that could be added. The whole place was immaculately clean, the bedding was comfortable with lots of extra pillows (MUCH appreciated!)As far as any improvements, it would be helpful to have dish rags and pot scrubbers. Also some disposable paper plates.The wildlife coming thru the yard - turkeys and a whole family of deer - was an added bonus!In all a wonderful experience!

The house was great! Plenty of space for us and 4 teenagers.  Proximity to the lake was also very convenient.  The house was clean and functional.  The back porch was perfect for morning coffee and evening dinners!

We have been to Bayfield/Durango many times and this was a fantastic trip! The rental was exactly as described, with plenty of room for the 5 of us! We had the best time! The VRC staff were incredibly good communicators and such a great help with just 2 minor questions. Thank you! We will be back!

This was a great home for our trip to Durango.  We especially enjoyed the back porch. The views of the lake and the forest were beautiful, we loved the fire table, and enjoyed our meals at the dining table on the deck.   The kitchen was well equipped, and things worked well.  The surroundings were very quiet and the beds were comfortable so we all slept good.
