Our vacation to Pagosa Springs was wonderful because of the warmth and hospitality at River Dance! The beds are so comfy, kitchen is just like home, view out balcony priceless & decor is first class. The location is perfect with easy distance to walking trail, downtown or hot springs. My favorite was the beautiful river just outside our door. Don't forget the convenience of the full size washer/ dryer and fun ping pong table for family fun!! We will stay again if we return to the area!

Completely Satisfied from Texas

Date of Stay: 02/23/12 Review Submitted: 03/08/12

The Riverdance condo was beautifully decorated, well stocked with all supplies, and conveniently located to town. The balconies over the river were fabulous and the view was beautiful. The beds are very comfortable and the linens are very nice. The kitchen is incredibly well stocked. Heated garage is wonderful. We did have a toddler in the group, so the stairs were a battle to keep him from tumbling down, but they were easily blocked off. Do be aware that the fireplaces for ambience do get very hot. He singed his little fingers, but...lesson learned. We hope to be back soon!

Owner response:I love my guests from Texas who also seem to bring on the Pow Pow! I hope that you come and stay again! Thoughtfully, Beth

Charming condo on a lovely river

Beautiful interior, well appointed for an amateur chef like me! The river is literally three feet from the rear decks. There are great view from those same decks.

This condo is lovely and in a great location. We had two adults and two teenagers and were very comfortable. We cooked most meals in the well stocked kitchen and could stroll over to hot springs spa every day for a soak. And of course the skiing nearby was fantastic.

Pagosa Gem - November 2011

Guest: Amy (Albuquerque, NM)
Date of Stay: 11/11/11 Review Submitted: 11/21/11

A few friends and I recently stayed at Riverdance for our first ski trip of the season at Wolf Creek. The house was perfect! A quick 20 minute drive to the ski area, and very close to restaurants, hot springs and shopping in town. We utilized the kitchen and made our own dinner after a great day of skiing - had everything we needed, and we enjoyed a nice dinner around the dining room table. Would hightly recommend if you are looking to save a little money on eating out. The house slept 5 comfortably - large bed in the master suite (w/ fireplace!), (2) twins in the other upstairs bedroom, and a double futon in the living room area. When the property description says the house is right on the river, it's no joke! Both the upstairs and downstairs balcony overlook the river - nice spot to go out and have your morning coffee. We also enjoyed a few games of ping pong in the garage - great way to wind down at the end of the day! Overall, I would highly recommend Riverdance - the house was great, had everything we needed, very organized and "user friendly", and Beth was great to work with.

Relaxing location

The condo was very clean. The kitchen was well stocked for cooking. We also enjoyed the grill on the balcony. We loved being right on the river. There was lots of wildlife to see. We liked the fans to help cool off the upstairs bedrooms because it was quite hot while we were there. Beth was great to work with. I am sure that when we go back to Pagosa, we will stay here again. The location was perfect, because we could walk to town, the hot springs, restaurants, and shops. Thanks so much!

Balcony...River...AHHHHH

Guest: Miller Family (Phoenix AZ)
Date of Stay: 05/31/11 Review Submitted: 06/20/11

This is the 2nd time our family ( 2, 5 and 16 yrs old) stayed here and it gets better each time. The place lives up to it's billing and then some. Words and pictures can't convey how theraputic it is just to sit on the balcony, it was great to wave hi the wife and kids passing by on their rafting trip through town from it. We purchased the weekly Hot Springs pass and made out like bandits using it daily during our 8 day stay. We really enjoyed the 3 day Bluegrass and Folk festival going on a 3 minute drive away, the kids had a good time running around and eventually sitting. We couldn't resist returning several times to Pagosa Brewing Co. for the food, beer and kid friendly outdoor area. Kips was also frequented several times for the food as well. With the snow melt the run-off was heavy making the couple falls we visited especially impressive. Did a little horseback riding and attempted fishing too. Had a great time and can't wait to return next year.

Owner response:I can't tell you how complementing it is for me to have "Return Guests" or their friends come and stay at Riverdance. I like to think of all my guests as friends by the time we plan the vacation. I've been sharing my home for 5 years with all of you and absolutely love it when you are more than satisfied. Pagosa is obviously God's country and I'm thrilled to pass on the beauty! Beth

Our little weekend away

Date of Stay: 05/13/11 Review Submitted: 05/19/11

Me and my two lady friends stayed here last weekend, 5/13 and 5/14. We wished we would have stayed three nights. We had such a great relaxing time. The Riverdance Townhome had everything we needed. It is so beautifully decorated and the back deck is right on the water. It was really quiet at night. This is the best place to stay in Pagosa Springs. Next time we are staying longer. Thanks Beth!

Excellent Stay at Riverdance!

Guest: David and Jules (Broken Arrow, OK)
Date of Stay: 03/12/11 Review Submitted: 03/27/11

Riverdance was an awesome place for our family of 4 to stay for spring break. My wife and I, and our 2 daughters stayed here for a week during spring break and went skiing at Wolf Creek. The property was a short walk to downtown, but in a quiet area, right on the river, with balconies front and back. Very well maintained, clean, and a very comfortable home to come back to. I used some relaxation time to sit and read on the back balcony, where my reading was interrupted by watching ducks and geese fly over the river and land and play. We took a day off and walked to town to spend the day in the natural springs. We have stayed at numerous VRBO properties in CO, HI, and St. John, and this is one of the best we have found. Beth was especially helpful. Thanks so much for helping us to have a great spring break!

Riverdance

This was such a gorgeous place to stay. I loved how it was on the river and you could sit out on the balcony and listen to the river flowing. It was such a relaxing experience. There was plenty of room for our two families and we had so much fun. The springs are less than a mile a way and I loved that part of it as well. We will definitely be returning here in the neat future. Thank you for providing such a wonderful place to stay.......

My wife and I stayed 2 nights with another couple the latter part of January and enjoyed it thoroughly! The layout of the condo lent to keeping our privacy when needed while also providing ample space to enjoy together time with friends in the ambiance of a gas fireplace. I can't think of one thing that we needed that was not already provided. Clean, quiet, and with great views off the back covered deck. We even decided to eat in one night instead of going out and did steaks on the grill. Thanks to the ample space in the garage, my friend and I were also able to get our ping pong game back on after years of not having played. Location, location, location. Right on the river and within a mile of the hot springs where we spent a large portion of our time rejuvenating ourselves. After looking around Pagosa Springs during our trip, this condo is truly hard to beat. I highly recommend it and know that we will be re-visiting it again.

Our FAVORITE place to stay!

I'm a research junkie so I look and look and then look some more before choosing a place to stay. We don't get a lot of down time so I take my getaways very seriously. After spending just a few days at Riverdance and interacting quite a bit with the owner, I can honestly say this is the BEST rental experience we have had yet. There is nothing they haven't thought of. Immaculate doesn't even cut it. You could eat off the floors. From extra linens to pool towels to kitchen supplies, Riverdance has it all and then some. And Pagosa is the gem of the state IMHO. If you want to disconnect from the rat race and go someplace you'll make life long memories, go to Pagosa. You can end your search now. This place is a slice of heaven. THANK YOU BETH AND MARY!!

Great week of skiing

My son, his girlfriend and I spent a week at the Riverfront townhouse mid January 2011. It was every as advertised and more. The townhouse was very clean and comfortable. The single "best" thing, there was plenty of hot water for showers after a hard day of skiing. I not only recommend this townhouse without reservations, but when returning to Pagosa Springs in the future I plan on staying here again.

First visit to Pagosa Springs/Wolf Creek

What a wonderful place to stay and relax after a full day of skiing at Wolf Creek! The owner is great to work with and we will check with her on our next visit to Pagosa Springs. This home is lovely and every want or need is amazingly exceeded!

Owner response:Steve was looking for a home to entertain medical staff and to accommodate the wives who didn't ski. He got a bonus when Wolf Creek got slammed with another foot of snow. It seemed like everyone was happy!

Exceeded all expectations

We have stayed at many vacation rentals over the years. This home (and the wonderful owner) exceeded our expectations and turned out to be our favorite so far. Everything you could want and more...close to everything but just far enough away to feel private and very relaxing. We had a hard time saying goodbye. Truly a home away from home and we cannot wait to go back! Thank you for all your kind touches and for sharing your lovely home.

Great Stay at Riverdance

Guest: Dale (Dallas)
Date of Stay: 08/04/10 Review Submitted: 08/11/10

We found Riverdance to be an exceptional place to vacation and we would recommend it to anyone. The home is cozily decorated with a warm welcoming feeling. We found the location just far enough away from downtown to be exclusive but close enough to walk comfortably to anything we needed. Although a couple of the highly rated restaurants (Farrango Café and Kip’s) are a little further away (we loved Farrango! Kip’s was a 45 minute wait for food at 6pm on a weekday; didn’t love that). While it rained often, the weather was still great and it didn’t rain enough to hamper our activities as we still hiked to waterfalls, fished, and spent a lot of time on the balcony. The townhome is in line with 3 other townhomes (3rd from the left if you are facing the garage). It is basically the first development down South 6th Street (about 3/10 of a mile down), which heads south off of the main drag (San Juan or Main Street). This means that whenever you are walking to San Juan (that is where everything thing is in town) you have a nice walk along the river. Heading in to town from the house you would take a right just before Main Street as that will take you along a path through a park next to the river and then along the opposite side of the river from the hot springs. If you turned left on Main Street you would get to City Market (small Kroger brand grocery store) in 2 minutes. The view from the east side balcony of the apartment is gorgeous with the river gurgling right in front of you, with deer visible typically morning and night, beautiful mountains to the north and the town in the center-left. Before some of the land was scraped just across the river, I’m sure the view was even prettier. One morning we saw a hot air balloon taking off with the mountains in the background. The listing claims there is everything you need in the house and we found that to be true…right down to a little grill and a pizza cutter! It should be noted that it is three levels (garage/1st/2nd floors). Two small minuses…the floor in the kitchen was dirty with big sticky spots when we arrived and the only essential missing was some hand soap. Easy to remedy…clean the floor and buy soap but it is nice to walk in and wash your hands after a trip! Again, we would recommend Riverdance to anyone. Enjoy!

Ski in Wolf Creek

Date of Stay: 03/20/10 Review Submitted: 03/29/10

We stayed one week in this clean and very well appointed condo in March 2010. The kitchen is very well furnished with all you want. The furnishings are very nice and the apartment is very comfortable. In 20 minutes you're in Wolf Creek which is a great ski resort. After skiing we enjoyed the Hot Springs which are in walking distance from the condo. We would like to come back.

We stayed in this sparkly clean, well appointed condo for 4 nights in Nov 2008. The kitchen is well furnished with all the pots, pans, dishes and glasses one could want. The couches and beds were all very comfortable; the furnishings are very nice and the layout works well. It;s a close walk to downtown for coffee, restaurants and the springs. There was nothing we didn't like about our stay here and look forward to coming back soon, maybe even when the weather is warm so we can enjoy sitting on the porches with the wonderful views.

My husband and I rented this condo during the winter. It is beautifully appointed with everything we needed to have a lovely stay. Watching the river flow through a snow-covered meadow after a full day of snowboarding at nearby Wolf Creek is so relaxing. It is centrally located to shops, grocery and restaurants. We loved our stay!

We are currently spending a delightful three day weekend in this beautiful condo in Pagosa Springs, Colorado. The condo is brand new and has all the things that we require when traveling. The flat screen TV and free high speed internet connection was a nice surprise. The home was wonderfully appointed and made our stay very comfortable. We also enjoyed the fact that it was walking distance to the town of Pagosa Springs where we could enjoy the hot springs, restaurants, movie theater and the town's local charm. We also enjoyed watching the deer coming to water at the river which is only 10 feet from the 2nd story deck. We very much enjoyed our stay and look forward to return visits for fall colors and winter skiing. Thank you for allowing us to stay in your beautiful home.
