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!

These modern cabins are super nice, and are right downtown within walking distance of the river, a great local cofee shop, and all of the shops and restaurants along with the hot springs. There is a nice covered patio at the property as well as a gas fire pit with chairs in the courtyard between the cabins. Loved our stay here and would definitely stay again.
