Come enjoy our beautifully decorated home in “The Pines” of Fairfield/Pagosa Springs. PLEASE NOTE: our pictures cannot show: TEMPURPEDIC KING MATTRESS, RADIANT FLOOR HEATING, 1200 COUNT ENGLISH LINENS, HAND PAINTED DINNER PLATES, ART THROUGHOUT, LEATHER COUCHES, NEW BEDDING, FULLY FENCED DOUBLE LOT YARD WITH 60-PLUS PONDEROSAS, 3 COVERED DECKS, SURROUNDED BY ADJACENT VACANT LOTS & much more: do read our reviews!!! Just up the hill from Pagosa’s renowned natural hot springs and spa, near great golfing, fishing, restaurants and a short drive to Wolf Creek ski resort, these accommodations are ideal for avid thrill-seekers, or for those searching peace and solitude, enjoyed in the very private Ponderosa-shaded backyard. A cedar fence encloses our double-lot yard, thereby providing a fairly large, quiet and private haven for children and pets to play.
Relish beautiful sunsets and views of the foothills from one of three covered decks or just enjoy some quiet relaxation. RADIANT FLOOR HEATING and river-rock gas fireplace keeps this home cozy in the winter. Over 60 surrounding mature Ponderosas and fans make summer temperatures just right. This three bedroom two full bath home sleeps up to seven people(4 adults and 3 children) with a King in the master, a queen in second bedroom and a full/twin bunk in third bedroom. The master bath has a jet tub for soaking after an exhilarating day of powder skiing. Luxuriate amidst clean designer linens and pillows, a newly-appointed full Gourmet kitchen with brand new stainless steel appliances, new flat screen LCD TV with FREE Netflix access (watch TV programs and movies for free). Home provides stereo system, wireless high-speed internet, DVD/CD/Wii console+2 remotes (extensive movie/CD library; Wii: please bring own favorite games); and an electric BBQ. Park out of the elements in the garage.
Partake in three season access to the four stocked ponds (daily/weekly passes available at the rec center) or using the Fairfield Recreation Center (daily/weekly fees apply). The more experienced angler may easily access the San Juan River, Lake Hatcher, and other blue ribbon trout lakes and streams. The home is just yards from the legendary Fairfield 36-hole golf course, a 3 minute drive from the recreation Center/pool and not far from amazing hiking in our country's largest wilderness.
Without the usual expense/hustle of comparable accommodations, come and stay at our affordable, accessible clean and peaceful dream getaway. We love the hammocks hanging off the Ponderosas in the shaded backyard for lounging, bird/deer watching (yes, several deer visit our backyard throughout the day in spring/fall!), and the three wood decks (2 upstairs and one out the back for just relaxing or reading. Since our home is surrounded on both sides by four vacant lots, privacy is assured; and though the home offers all the advantages of the Pines subdivision (e.g. pool/rec center/shopping/restaurants/coffee shops/Tennis/mini-gulf/lakes/hiking etc), it feels like being in the woods....the deer sure love it. Together with the adjacent lot, there's now about a half acre Ponderosa grove yard for your private enjoyment.
It's our wish that you'll truly enjoy your visit at our new home. We and our family certainly do..........every single time we're lucky to visit......

Owner's Profile
Owner Description
Year Purchased: 2008
Jim was raised not far from Pagosa Springs, in lovely Santa Fe, New Mexico, and hiked the Weminuche as a kid. His spouse is an East Coast transplant from Conn., who fell in love with Pagosa over a decade ago. Our home in the Pines of Pagosa is our dream-come-true-get-away from the bustle and noise of city life: where our children can watch Humming-birds feeding and the deer come visit in their own backyard; a niche where they can experience great fishing (our daughter holds a record of 12 fish at one fishing sitting) not far from the house. In essence, a place where wonderful memories are being made to last a lifetime..............
Why the Owner Chose Pagosa Springs
We love the outdoors and Pagosa Springs has wonderful year-round adventure opportunities. Peace and quiet are often interrupted by the wind chimes hanging off the Ponderosas. Humming birds come to visit whenever we fill their feeders.....Occasional deer graze amongst the ponderosas and the pure mountain air is a treat as one just relaxes in the rock-strewn yard (the kids were so excited to find some fossilized rocks!), each visit brings new wonders!
The Unique Benefits of this House
Plentiful powder and first to open Colorado ski resort at Wolf Creek Ski area in the winter, feisty trout in the summer, hiking among the largest US Wilderness, some of Colorado's most beautiful fall colors, water falls and mountain scenery. Year-round soaking in Pagosa Hot Springs with full spa options for complete relaxation.

Beautiful home in a beautiful area! Incredible value. The furnishings and decor are far nicer than found in most vacation rentals. Very well equipped kitchen. Everything was impeccably clean and well maintained. We missed having cable TV but knew that coming in and enjoyed watching a few movies instead. The floorplan is comfortable for a couple or a larger family, and the yard is great for dogs or just enjoying the view. Quick and easy credit card payment and deposit refund. We will definitely be back.
Recommended for:Romantic getaway, pet owners, adventure seekers.

This home is just ideal. The description and photos look just like the property-Beautiful! The home is in the core area and close to shopping, restaurants and a great mountain golf course that is open to the public. There is a large fenced back yard that was perfect for our two small dogs. As a bonus we saw deer every day and on one occassion spotted a black bear ambling just outside the back fence. This was our first time to see one in the wild. The property was very clean and the owner was always available to answer any questions. We stayed almost three weeks, and would definently recommend this property to a friend, relative, or to anyone wanting a quite get away in this beautiful part of Colorado.

What an amazing place! We enjoyed afternoon naps in the hammock, sunsets on the front porch and star watching in the Adirondack chairs. We were stunned when nine deer welcomed us on our first evening. The decorations are elegant and your attention to detail from films to teapots made us feel welcome. We can't wait to stay here again. Thanks.

Thank you for allowing my family the use of your home. It was convenient to everything and the kitchen was great to cook in. Spring break in Pagosa is always a treat. The welcome treats were put to good use. Thanks again and God willing, we will return again. The B's Southlake, TX

White's Thank you so much for sharing your home with us! It was the perfect vacation to ring in the new year. We enjoyed cooking in the kitchen, enjoyed playing nightly board games at the table, and watching movies during every free second! It's been a great break from 60* weather at home. Thanks so much!
