Eagles Nest has 3 bedrooms, 2 baths, contains about 1,425 square feet. It can accommodate 8 guests comfortably. Pets are considered*. The “Nest” is a rustic, secluded and private cabin at the top of the hill, at the end of the road, perched high on a cliff at 8,000 feet above sea level and, a few hundred feet above the valley floor. Our guests enjoy endless unobstructed views of 14,000 ft snow-capped peaks, the Continental Divide, a green valley with shimmering streams right below, and beautiful views of Lake Vallecito. The Little Valley has its own micro-climate – an ever-changing canvas of mesmerizing colors sights and sounds. Eagles Nest was redesigned and redone by its owners, a true labor of love. The exterior look has been transformed by an artisan, a western movie set designer, into a 200-year-old cabin in the mountains- giving it a very unique look, and preserving its' rustic ambiance. Inside, it affords all modern conveniences, updated furniture, furnishings, art work, a modern fully stocked kitchen with latest generation appliances, a refrigerator with an ice maker, a coffee and espresso bar, a gas fired BBQ grill, state of the art audio visual system, a movie library, games for young and adults, High Speed Internet, and live streaming TV.

The master bath is a newly remodeled walk in shower featuring a glassed enclosure with upgraded hardware. The second bath features a new bathtub/rain shower combination, with a modern sliding glass. A good part of your time will be spent under the gazebo on the large 700 square foot gated deck nature gazing. All photos in the display were taken from the deck, on the premises without alterations. Some say even the pictures do not do it justice. At night, the dark skies hang so low millions of stars hover above the roof top. It seems one could reach up and pluck a star right off its heavenly seat. The countless acres of the Weminuche wilderness and the San Juan national park share a common border with the property – Just walk up to the trail. Owners have provided our guests a radio communication set for when hiking. Vallecito offers entertainment and fun for all ages - adults, the young, and young at heart - fun activities such as; cycling, horseback riding, boating ( (the marina is located a short distance from the cabin) hiking, ATV and four wheeling, fly fishing, and hunting just to name a few.
