Why the Owner Chose Pagosa Springs
During our years in Colorado we traveled the state from corner to corner, and we discovered many wonderful areas and a variety of scenery. But when we decided to purchase a 2nd Home in Colorado, we immediately thought of Pagosa Springs because we loved its location, its scenery, its variety of activities for people of all ages, and the fact that it is a small town with very friendly people. Pagosa Springs has it all: Hot Springs for Bathing and Spa; Rivers for fishing, kayaking, and rafting; Lakes for fishing and boating; Mountains for hiking, scenery, and wildlife; and it is so convenient to National Forests and wonderful sites such as Wolf Creek Pass, Chimney Rock, early Native American ruins at Mesa Verde, Waterfalls such as Treasure Falls, Piedra Falls, & Fourmile Falls, Sante Fe, Durango, and the Durango & Silverton Narrow Gauge Railroad.
The Unique Benefits at this House
Our home is located across the street from the San Juan National Forest, and we enjoy the peace & quiet as well as the wildlife that visits our yard and neighborhood, the deer, the foxes, the birds, and much more. The home has Two Back Decks with Mountain Views, a Front Porch facing the National Forest with beautiful Sunsets, and a back Flagstone Patio with outdoor Wood-burning Fireplace for star-gazing at night. Back-Deck has comfortable Patio Furniture and a newer Weber Gas Bar-B-Que Grill. The neighborhood has large lots with "elbow room" and we have no houses on either side of us, but we have wonderful year-around neighbors who we now know well and who are always there for us or for our guests. Inside the home is inviting, fully equipped, and comfortable. Lots of windows for the views and natural light, and a large warm River-Rock Fireplace for the evenings.
The house is convenient to everything: the Hot Springs, the Mountains, to Shopping, and to Dining.
Across the street from our house there is over 2 million Acres in the San Juan National Forest. Abundant wildlife and beautiful scenery, for hiking, fishing, biking, with forest accesss roads.
Williams Creek Reservoir is worth the drive. Nestled at the base of the mountains with tremendous mountain views, this crystal blue lake is great for fishing for Rainbow Trout, Brook Trout,& Kokane.

Owner's Map of Pagosa Springs
Duane & Fran Larsien, Owners.
We previously lived in Colorado for many years until 1997 when a business opportunity caused us to move out of the Rocky Mountains. We have always loved the state, and have found nothing to compare to its beautiful scenery and its wonderful people. So we decided in 2004 to purchase a 2nd home in Colorado that we could visit on vacation and that we could also offer to others as a vacation rental so that visitors could also enjoy the Rocky Mountain State of Colorado.
We take pride in keeping our home clean, comfortable, fully equipped, and in excellent condition. And we want our renters to fully enjoy their visit, and we will try to accommodate them whenever possible.

We enjoyed our week at your Pagosa Spgs house. Everything was wonderful, and we loved the decks, the fireplace pit on the patio, the whole experience. The house was great and the mountain views. We will tell all our friends and we hope we can come back soon. Thanks for the extras, Kristina Waldron and family.

This was the best rental home that we have ever visited. It was lovely, with beautiful decor and views. And thanks for being so last minute accommodating to a retired school teacher and her friends. We will be back, Sharon Romero, Colorado Springs

We just enjoyed a wonderful week in your house, and it was so much more than we expected from the website listing. My wife is a clean freak and was very happy with the condition that your home was in. We had some friends stay with us that have been coming to Pagosa for 15 yrs and staying at a condo in town, and they were impressed with your home and the price & value. We checked out different places to stay while there for our next visit, but nothing seems to match up to your home. thanks, Russ & Carol Cutino

The home and its appointments were more than we expected during our 9 night visit in August. Very well maintained and extremely well equipped, with Great Views! It was an easy access to CR160, and just what a mountain home should be. The neighborhood was quiet and filled with hummingbirds. I highly recommend your home for other renters. Everything was as advertised, or better. Thanks much, Larry Driskill from Texas

You certainly have a beautiful home and so well maintained and decorated. We loved the back deck, and ate breakfast, lunch, & dinner out there with its wonderful mountain views. We definitely give this house our highest 5 Star recommendation. I also want to comment on the excellent maintenance service. We had a plumbing problem and the maintenance service man was there within 10 minutes of our call. He was very professional, cleaned up after himself, and even gave us fishing tips! Our week vacation in your home was a slice of Colorado heaven! Thanks much, Sharon Gillis of New Mexico

We enjoyed our July vacation and stay at your house. It was clean, nicely decorated, and well equipped. The neighborhood was convenient yet so quite and peaceful. It was great having the National Forest so close, and we hiked a lot. We relaxed and soaked at the Hot Springs Resort in Pagosa, and watched the stars at night from your back patio. We did have one problem with the TV Satellite Dish, and you were quick to return our call and call the Dish Network company. Turned out, the outage was due to the lightning and rain storm, and the TV came back on later after storm had passed. We were impressed with your quick response to us. Sarah & Daniel Webb, Louisiana

We just returned home to Texas after an amazing week staying at your Pagosa Springs house. We were with our friends from Scotland, and we have all rented many homes over the last six years and your home was by far the best ever! The house was very clean and well equipped with everything you would need. We hiked the trails, visited nearby Chimney Rock, and the highlight was the Durango to Silverton Railroad Train Ride. We enjoyed sitting by your outside fireplace at night around our fire and enjoying the stars. We will be back, Linda Duckworth, Ft Worth, Texas

Super nice house. Very roomy and comfortable for us 6 adults, and it was very clean. Close to restaurants, shopping, and attractions. And the views were wonderful. We walked a lot in your neighborhood and on into the National Forest next door. We had a great vacation and thank you for all the extras that you provided. Janet Kirkendoll, Arkansas
