Decks overlook a bass-filled lake and reflections of the thirteen thousand-foot wilderness range of the La Plata Mountains in the San Juan National Forest. The
rowboat and canoe are your key to a world of delights at Willowtail Springs. Paddle out on the pond after a rain and experience the rainbows whose reflections in the water make them into full
circles. Enjoy the Colorado mountain sunsets when the mist hangs low on the surface of the water
in the evening.

"Loved the cabin, the music, the scenery and wonderful aroma of junipers and pinyons drifting in through open doors and windows." Julie and Dean · Portland, OR "This place embodies the beauty and spaciousness that draws us to the southwest. Quiet and stillness like this is very hard to find in our daily lives . . . the front porch is an ideal place for morning yoga, reading or evening star gazing." Cindy and Doug · Cincinnati, OH |
