It is undoubtedly one of a kind like no other. 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 rentalguardian.com 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.

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.

Off The Beaten Path
The Eagle's Nest was just that...up on the hill overlooking the valley below. The property had plenty of room for 5 of us, with lots to see and explore outdoors. The cabin is well maintained and stocked with most of what is needed for a comfortable stay. Everyone in the neighborhood we encountered were very friendly and congenial.

Family Fall Break
We had a great stay! The views of the changing colors was beautiful! We were able to fish, hike, walk the road around the house, cook meals, have great day trips and connect as a family. We enjoyed the games at the house - my kids learned Monopoly and Checkers and never asked to turn on the TV!!

Superb Deck, Wildlife and Views
The location is amazing! The deck is the best part of the property. We had the best time photographing the wildlife. Made friends with the female hummingbird, saw a deer walk though and watched the eagles look for prey. The house is well equipped. There are plenty of games and space for a large family. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay. Was sad to leave but hope to return again very soon!

Wonderful place. Great views. Cabin has everything one can possibly want.
We had an amazing time. Great location - lake, mountains with aspen forests stocked with mushrooms, mesa verde national park … all within 1.5 hours away. Cabin has fantastic views, dozens of hummingbirds, chipmunks, deer - just have your morning coffee and observe nature. Did not want to leave.
