Location: Pagosa Springs, Southwest, Colorado, USA (Fairfield/Pagosa Sprs:5hr-Denver/3hr-Santa Fe,NM,1hr Durango) View Map
Accommodations: House, 3 Bedrooms, 2 Baths (Sleeps 9)
Come enjoy our tastefully decorated modern home in “The Pines” of beautiful Fairfield/Pagosa Springs. Just up the hill from Pagosa’s renowned natural hot springs and full spa, and near great golfing (golf course is within 300 yards from our home), 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 ponderosa-shaded backyard.
Relish the beautiful sunsets and views of the foothills from one of two covered decks or just enjoy the many Ponderosas in the backyard, which is surrounded by neighboring vacant lots. Radiant floor heating and river-rock gas fireplace keeps this home cozy in the winter. Shade trees and fans in all rooms make summer temperatures just right. This three bedroom two bath home sleeps up to nine people with one King bed in the master, one queen bed in second bedroom, one full/twin bunk in third bedroom and a deluxe Queen futon in the living room. 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 new stainless steel appliances, new large screen LCD TV (sorry, no cable/satelite reception),DVD/CD player (with an extensive movie/CD library) and stereo system, wireless internet, and 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. Our home is yards from the legendary Fairfield 36-hole golf course, and a 3 minute drive from the recreation Center/pool.
Without the usual expense/hustle of comparable accommodations, come and stay at our easily affordable, accessible and peaceful dream getaway. We just love the hammock and hammock chair 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!), 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.
It is our sincere wish that you'll enjoy your visit at our new home. We and our family certainly do..........every single time we're lucky to visit......

Map & Owner's Profile
Pagosa Springs Paradise in the Pines
Year Purchased: 2009
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 wonderful 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 at this House
Plentiful powder at Wolf Creek Ski area in the winter, feisty trout in the summer, hiking among 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.
Owner's Map of Pagosa Springs
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 where deer come visit "them" in their own backyard; a niche where they can experience great fishing (our daughter holds a record of 10 fish at one fishing sitting) not far from the house. In essence, a place where wonderful memories are being made to last a lifetime..............
