Beautiful Mountain Log Cabin - Pets allowed

TaylerRating, 5 stars1 month ago
The quintessential cabin experience! Perfectly cozy, very well equipped, and clean. There was still some snow on the ground so it felt like we had the whole world to ourselves. Can’t wait to stay again!

Silver Street Condos - Unit 2

ElizaRating, 5 stars5 months ago
Brittany’s place is definitely a 5 star stay. The check in was easy, communication was immediate and the location is great (close to the ice park ). We come to Lake City a few times each winter to ice climb and have stayed in many many places. This is one of the best. The interior is a high quality remodel which has everything. The beds are comfortable, the rooms are dark for great sleeping, the place is clean, the shower is excellent and it’s quiet. We really couldn’t ask for more. Would highly recommend!

Cozy Cabin

HayleyRating, 5 stars6 months ago
Jennifers cabin was absolutely amazing. My best friend and I had such a great time there. Definitely need 4 wheel drive and to be able to manuver in the snow, but totally worth it! The community of people were great and we will definitely be back!

NEWLY Remodeled Purgatory Slope-side Condo.

KendaRating, 5 stars2 months ago
Our first time at Purgatory with our family of 5 and the location was great! Hosts were responsive if we had a question, a short walk to the ski lift and loved that it was on the first floor. Also loved the bench outside the door to put on and take off your ski boots. Highly recommend!

Relax and Play - Arrowhead!

SierraRating, 5 stars1 month ago
My husband and I spent a weekend at Al’s place with our dog. This place is so stunning! It is very remote, so be sure to bring groceries and any supplies you need with you. It rained and snowed a bit while we were there so the hot tub was a perfect addition! We went running to a few of the nearby lakes, gorgeous and easy to navigate our way around. Dog friendly and very peaceful. We hope to come visit again in the future!

FREE boat use and FREE firewood...sleeps ten

TrinityRating, 5 stars9 months ago
Don was personable and proactive from the very get-go, helping us to feel secure and welcome even months ahead of time. The location itself was beautiful, with a view of the lake from the firepit, firewood provisions overflowing. There were neighbors nearby, but it was still a private and relatively large piece of beautiful personal property. Our kids loved the firepit, the hammock, the canoes (life jackets provided). Inside, we were greeted with a space that felt luxurious, outdoorsy, and "home-y." The kitchen had all high-quality amenities (save a dishwasher). Hot and cold water, all was from a filtered well that was drinkable. The livingroom was surprisingly spacious, with a fireplace that loved sitting by morning an evening. There were hundreds of DVDs, books, and even family boardgames. The entire house shone it's proud history with outdoorsy keepsakes, 100 year old newspapers, paintings. The beds were all incredibly comfortable; It was the best sleep I'd had in months.

River Cottage

AliRating, 5 stars3 weeks ago
Peaceful stay near the river. For the price, I thought this was absolutely worth it. If you’re okay with a cabin that does need a little loving, this is for you! I read reviews that the upkeep could use work and while that’s true, there was nothing that interfered with our stay and we enjoyed the space very much and would stay again.

Downtown Lake City Spacious Home

RodneyRating, 5 stars3 months ago
We can’t say enough good things about this property! First, it was much roomier than described/pictured. I mean, truly room to spread out and enjoy the house. For example, the mud room behind the front door was perfect for our wet boots and gear (we were ice climbing at the ice park), and the living space was comfortable for five folks to relax. The kitchen was wonderfully stocked with an above average number of pans, utensils, dishes, etc. There was also a goodly assortment of spices, coffee pods, and spices. If we had chosen to do so, we could have prepared full dinners each night. (We ate dinner at three local restaurants each night, all very good with friendly service.) The bedding, towels, and linens were great, everyone mentioned their room was comfortable and clean. Finally, the host, Martha, was prompt, courteous, and helpful in all our communication. We always got complete answers to our questions and it felt more like communicating with a friend than a business owner!

Charming Mountain Chalet with Stunning Views

Wesley + AmandaRating, 5 stars1 week ago
We couldn't have had a better stay! The house was amazing and perfect for our family with small kids. The views are beautiful and the property is so peaceful. Barney is the sweetest little cat, and the kids had a great time exploring the property and loved the bunk room! The fans cooled the place off at night and the blackout shades made for quality rest. Nikki was always helpful and friendly. We loved that it felt remote but still very close to Ridgway and Ouray. We can't wait to come back!

Your guide to Lake City

Welcome to Lake City

Nestled in a valley in the San Juan Mountains, Lake City used to be a boomtown. In the late 19th century, prospectors seeking their fortunes in a nearby mine poured into the remote outpost, a railroad followed not long after, and a bustling city sprang to life. But the burst of activity was short-lived — when the mines produced disappointing hauls, the prospectors went elsewhere. Their loss has been present-day Lake City’s gain, as the lack of hustle meant the town stood relatively unchanged for years.

Today, its lovingly restored historic district contains more than 200 buildings that look much as they did more than a century ago. Chinked-log pioneer cabins, Queen Anne homes, and wooden storefronts with false-front facades line the streets. Many of the structures — such as a church outfitted with a rare Estey organ — are still used by residents. Lake City’s well-preserved downtown draws its share of admirers, as does the breath-taking landscape that surrounds it, which includes the Gunnison National Forest, Lake San Cristobal (the second largest natural lake in Colorado), and an unusual phenomena called the Slumgullion Earthflow — a slowly moving, four-mile hunk of partially decomposed volcanic rock that creeps about 20 feet a year.


The best time to stay in a vacation rental in Lake City

Summer is high season in Lake City, with lots of warm weather, and the little city swells with visitors. The streets bustle with craft fairs, live music, historic walking tours, and a Fourth of July celebration. Summer thunderstorms are common, so plan ahead for bursts of wet weather. Lake City’s relatively short autumn is marked by brilliantly colored fall foliage and much lower crowds. Lake City is a low-key alternative to Colorado’s busier ski resorts in winter, offering a hushed landscape for snowshoeing, a local ski hill, and ice fishing. In spring, the forest bursts with life and the streams and waterfalls surge with snowmelt.


Top things to do in Lake City

Silver Thread Historic Byway

You can pick up this 117-mile road in Lake City and follow it for a two-to-four-hour trek through many natural wonders and nearby historical sights. The byway will take you to Lake San Cristobal, through the nearby town of Creede, where you can tour an underground mining museum, and past the mighty Rio Grande River. Elk, moose, and bighorn sheep have been known to make guest appearances along this route.

Hinsdale County Museum

Installed inside a circa-1877 stone lodge with a pressed-tin ceiling, the Hinsdale County Museum chronicles the history of Lake City and the surrounding area; its holdings include antique medical instruments and vintage firearms. In the summer the museum conducts historic tours, including ghost tours of the local cemeteries.

Slumgullion Earthflow

Technically a mass wasting, and most commonly called the Slumgullion Slide, this particular mass flow is named after a kind of pioneer stew. The yellowish hump of rock is a nexus for outdoor exploration. Here you’ll find the Slumgullion Center, an International Dark Sky Association designated park, where you can gaze into the heavens unobscured by light pollution and enjoy hiking trails and scenic overlooks.
