Things to do near Colorado

Your Cabin isn’t just a cabin—it’s your base for exploring. Colorado offers something in every season:

Summer adventures

Summer brings blue skies and full trails.
Spend your mornings hiking or biking local trails, afternoons kayaking or paddleboarding on Vallecito Lake, and evenings grilling dinner outside your cabin.
Fishing is especially popular this time of year, with plenty of opportunities around Vallecito Lake.

Fall getaways

When the crowds thin out, fall colors transform the valley.
Every hillside becomes a postcard.
Hunters also find this season ideal, with easy access to the San Juan National Forest from your Cabin in Colorado.

Winter escapes

Winter is for cold-weather adventure seekers.
With Purgatory and Wolf Creek ski resorts nearby, plus snowmobiling trails and a fully groomed Nordic track, your cabin becomes a cozy retreat after long days outside.
Ice fishing is also popular from January through March, with tournaments that make the lake come alive in winter.

Spring refresh

Spring is ideal for slower escapes, perfect for travelers wanting calm.
Trails begin to open, wildlife comes alive, and the lake starts warming up for those first outdoor adventures of the year.
