This is such a great lodging option for parents traveling with kiddos. Ours really appreciated the bunk bed option. We loved the little kitchenette which allowed us to enjoy our after hike beverages in glasses, which makes a big difference when you’re in vacation mode. We didn’t use the fire pits because we were also visiting with family staying nearby, but they looked like a wonderful place to take in the mountain scenery. We’ll give them a shot next time we’re in town.

Our cabin was better than expected! Having dishes and glasses was unexpected and nice to have. However, the refrigerator/freezer makes a noise when it is running. Also, the alarm clock went off but we didn’t set it. But overall, this was a great place to stay. Thank you

I LOVED my stay here! The room was beautiful inside and had a ton of space and modern touches. The kids loved the bunk beds. My daughter even said she wished she could live there during college. It was one of the best places I’ve stayed. The price was so inexpensive with how perfect it was. I will absolutely only stay there every trip I take to Pagosa Springs from now on!
