Things to do near Lake Eileen

Your Cabin rental isn’t just a cabin—it’s your gateway to Colorado fun. Lake Eileen offers something in every season:

Summer adventures

Summer brings perfect conditions for adventure.
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 steps from your cabin.

Fall getaways

When the crowds thin out, fall colors transform the valley.
Aspens turn gold and orange.
Hunters also find this season ideal, with easy access to the San Juan National Forest from your Cabin rental in Lake Eileen.

Winter escapes

Winter is for snow days and cozy nights.
With Purgatory and Wolf Creek ski resorts nearby, plus snowmobiling trails and a fully groomed Nordic track, your cabin becomes a perfect place to warm up.
Ice fishing is also popular from January through March, with tournaments that draw anglers from across Colorado.

Spring refresh

Spring is ideal for slower escapes, perfect for older couples.
Trails begin to open, wildlife comes alive, and the lake starts warming up for spring paddling and casting.
