Southwestern Adobe with Extraordinary Mountain Views

Excellent location great place for the family

My family loved spending three days in this fabulous home. It was spotless and wonderfully decorated. I thought it was a great location, close enough to town but seemed secluded in the woods. Lois was great to deal with and her property manager was very helpful and insightful about the area. I loved that there was an upper and lower level so that our kids had the downstairs to themselves. I highly recommend staying here. This was our first vrbo experience and it won't be the last.

We really enjoyed our stay. The view is beautiful and hiking down to the river was awesome. Our kids ranging from 6-12 all loved the home and had a blast in Pagosa Springs! Having the ping pong table was a great time for everyone.

The place was awesome. It was like a home away from home..

We absolutely loved our stay here for so many reasons. This house is in such a good location. We were just minutes from Pagosa Springs, which was still decorated for Christmas, with lights all throughout town. It is a picture perfect town with a lot of cute restaurants and shops. We got all our groceries the first night and cooked dinners mostly at the house. (Just a note, the owners are environmentally conscious, and suggested drinking tap water vs. Bottled water. We had bought some bottled water for the drive, and were skeptical that the tap would be as good. The tap water is just as good as bottled water. We ended up just refilling our bottles with tap for when we were skiing, but drank out of the faucet any time we were at the house. We have picky kids, so that was impressive to us.)

Lois is very responsive as an owner, and there is also a property manager who you can contact for any questions or concerns. Or you can contact him for suggestions about activities in the area. We had one day we didn't ski, and we ended up going hiking to see the frozen treasure falls. We also went to Echo Canyon Reservoir and walked out on the frozen water. There were people ice fishing, so we knew it was safe. We didnt end up making it to the hot springs, but will definitely plan on that next time we come.

The house has a lot of space, including bedrooms downstairs with a playroom and ping pong table. This was great if you have kids who like to run around and make lots of noise. The views are breathtaking from all sides. I got up every morning to watch the sunrise from the fire pit seating area out front, and hiked down a little ways behind the cabin to watch the beautiful sunset over the mountains and river down below. One of the coolest things we did our last day was hike down to the river behind the house(this is very rocky and a little treacherous, so only do this if you are able). There is an old train engine down right next to the river with some remnants of a train track. It was very cool and unique. You just have to be prepared for the hike back up : )

Lois, thank you for a wonderful family getaway, and for making everything so easy. We will be back, and cant wait to see the new deck!
