THE AREA:
Hike, Fish, Ski, Bike, Kayak, Explore, Hunt, Relax!
Forest Lakes is a lovely neighborhood surrounded by the San Juan National Forest. Little Bear Lodge sits at the end of a private road, right alongside Lake Simpatico. There is a trail around the lake, where locals enjoy walking their furry friends, snowshoeing, fishing, paddle boarding, kayaking, biking, birdwatching, and enjoying the scenery. You can fish (or ice fish!) for smallmouth bass and trout. The setting is very peaceful and quiet, with deer and other wildlife roaming freely throughout the community.
You can walk from the front door to the west end of the lake, where you will find a dam that is great for sledding in the winter! Once the snow melts, there is also a playground with an adjacent basketball court and covered picnic tables.
There are several hiking, cross country skiing, snowshoeing, and biking trailheads located in the community. Please don’t park on the side of the road. There is free parking at the trailheads.
Bayfield is about 8 minutes south, and offers a small market, a few restaurants, and some lovely little shops. Forest Lakes is between Durango (30 mins) and Pagosa Springs (50 mins). You will be just minutes to Vallecito and Lemon Reservoirs! Navajo Lake is about an hour southeast. You are about 1 hour south of Purgatory Ski Resort and about 1.5 hours north of Wolf Creek Ski Area. A quick access into the Weminuche wilderness is at the end of County Road 500 just past Lake Vallecito.

Summary: Very nice house and location. We had a slight glitch but the owner was very helpful in trying to figure it out which did not happen but it was the company not her, who could not get to the house in time for our visit. We were offered a slight amount of the cost which was very nice of the owner.

Summary: Our group of six (two adults and four children ages 10 to 17) really enjoyed our stay at Little Bear Lodge. The property is spacious, bright, and well equipped, and the setting is very beautiful. The deer who visited every morning and evening made the experience especially magical. Magenta is responsive and thoughtful, an easy property owner with whom to work. Lake Simpatico is more like a pond, but we braved the mud to launch our SUPs and the property's kayaks and enjoyed the experience. We definitely would like to return in the winter.
