About this property

Romantic Bungalow on Private Lake w/Hot Tub

The Bungalow at Willowtail is a magical, enchanted, charming space - light filled and cozy. The space is filled with artwork, antiques, and unique architectural details. Gorgeous stained glass greets you at the entry to the bath and bedroom. A long-abandoned beehive (fully encased in plexiglass) hangs over the bed. The pillowtop queen bed will invite you to sleep in, while the claw foot tub and hand held shower with spa products ensure a luxurious and relaxing bath. Bathrobes are provided for your use in the bungalow or to wear to the hot tub overlooking the lake.

The open living area features huge windows that look out over the private lake. An extensive library of books and movies, along with a TV and comfortable seating invite you to relax. Choose from a cozy private deck facing the lake with private outdoor dining or an inviting covered deck facing gardens in front. There is also a daybed which makes into a king or two twins.

Eat breakfast on private decks with lake view or at the spectacular dining table overlooking the lake. Snuggle in front of the gas fireplace in winter with hot chocolate. Cook dinner and eat in the privacy of your own cabin inside or out. Use the gas oven inside or the grill next to your cabin. Sit under ancient juniper and pinion pine looking out to extensive, lush gardens and the lake. You will soon be transported to another level of rejuvenation in this special retreat.

Enjoy the canoes and fishing gear if you like to fish. The lake is full of large-mouth bass, rainbow trout, brown trout and blue-gills to catch and release. There is no license required since it is a private lake. If fishing isn't your thing, canoe out on the lake and dream as you look down and dangle your fingers in the water.

End your day with a glass of wine in the hot tub that overlooks the lake. The hot tub is located away from any of the cabins and offers a clear view of the night sky. We can reserve a private time for you.

Nice retreat
Beautiful landscape and welcoming hosts. One thing I kept thinking while there was that I never have felt so safe in a place I was renting for a vacation. They really have an inviting Property for people to stay. I would have felt more than comfortable staying myself as a woman. We left our door unlocked most of the time. Very peaceful.

Catherine C., Oregon

Perfect place to enjoy nature and a very peaceful setting.
We stayed 3 nights and enjoyed every minute. The bungalow was just right for the two of us. Each morning we sat in the sun room and ate breakfast while looking over the lake. Explored nearby sites during the day and spent the evening canoeing around the lake and walking the beautiful grounds. We can't wait to return!

Why they chose this property

Willowtail Springs has become a wildlife property, bird sanctuary, and a water wonderland. Guests have access to the many paths and trails through this 60-acre nature preserve, including free use of canoes and fishing gear. Willowtail’s private lake serves as a fishing paradise for all skill levels, healthily stocked with trout, sunfish and large-mouth bass. Over 200 species of water birds, raptors, and songbirds have been identified at Willowtail. This is a bird-watchers paradise with owls, golden eagles, osprey, meadowlarks, Great Blue Herons, hummingbirds, chickadees, woodpeckers, warblers and more.

Willowtail Springs is fishing heaven for those with any level of skill. Our private lake is stocked with brown trout, rainbow trout, large mouthed bass and sunfish, plus grass carp to keep the lake clean and healthy. We are a Catch and Release site so we use barb-less hooks. The large mouthed bass seem to bite at almost anything, which is fabulous instant gratification for children or adults new to the sport. Our fish are “on staff”. We find guests have a time getting their families off to see local sites because the lake and the boats are such entertainment. We have two canoes and a rowboat for guests to use plus casting rods and lures.
Since we own the private lake, you do not need a fishing license for any fishing you do here at Willowtail Springs.

Lush gardens are sprinkled about the grounds at Willowtail Springs. Guests enjoy exploring, often finding their own special place. Hammocks, benches and swings can be found throughout the gardens. The hot tub resides on a rock outcropping overlooking the lake with patio furniture and lounges. Tables and chairs placed in the middle of the gardens provide idyllic spaces for writing, reading or even computer work. Paths weave from the cabins through the gardens to the wildlife ponds and into more wilderness areas.

What makes this property unique

It might be impossible to pull yourself away from Willowtail’s serenity, but should the impulse arise, there’s no shortage of adventure to be found nearby. Just 6 minutes away is the Town of Mancos, with a grocery store, health food store, a bakery, brewery, family or fine dining restaurants, liquor stores, art galleries and quaint shops.

Steeped in Native American history, the Four Corners region pulses with culture, color and a fine collection of some of the country’s best-preserved archaeological sites. Willowtail sits a mere 10-minute drive from the entrance of Mesa Verde National Park. Farther West, explore Ute Mountain Tribal Park, the Canyon of the Ancients and Hovenweep national monuments. Cap the day off with wine at one or all of Cortez’s divine wineries.

Just a 30-minute drive from Willowtail Springs is the city of Durango and the inimitable Durango & Silverton Narrow Gauge Railroad. High alpine splendor, mining history and a feast for the senses will leave you hungry for downtown Durango’s fabulous array of world-class restaurants and award-winning breweries. Spend an afternoon wandering the variety of shops on Main Street.

Located on the San Juan Skyway, Willowtail and within easy access to the Southwest's best attractions: Mancos (6 minutes), Mesa Verde National Park (10 minutes), Durango & Silverton Narrow Gauge Railroad (30 minutes), Hovenweep National Monument (90 minutes), Telluride (90 minutes), Moab (2 hours) are all an enjoyable day trip away.
