HOUSE LAYOUT:
WilderRest is tucked on a hillside surrounded by towering pines and rambling oak brush. Though it is only 10 minutes from Pagosa’s downtown, it is fantastically peaceful with lots of wildlife, serenity, and excellent stars.
Upon entering the home you are greeted with honey-toned wood, antique charm, and mountain modern. Directly to the right is an area to place your shoes and coats, and moving forward opens to the kitchen. The kitchen is fully equipped with a Keurig/coffee pot, fridge, oven, stove, and microwave.

Directly to the right is a full bathroom with a shower. In between is a desk with a workspace and a lamp featuring USB plug ports- perfect for working remotely.
Moving to the dining room offers outdoor views, a handcrafted wood dining table, and an electric stove for comfort and ambiance. There is a game space with chairs and a table next to the stove, which makes for a great reading space or chess match. The living room has ample seating, a large smart TV with BluRay DVD as an option, a queen sofa sleeper, and games galore!
The deck boasts a hot tub, propane grill, plenty of outdoor seating, and unbelievable views! The soft vanilla scent of the pines envelops you as you take in the beauty and peace of the San Juan Mountains. This location is excellent for stargazing and wildlife sightings.
Moving upstairs past the custom artwork and mountain railing opens to the final set of bedrooms and bathroom.

AMAZING!!
For all those times you wished you could escape the grind and get away to a cabin in the woods, THIS IS THE CABIN!!!!
We spend our summer vacation here every year & will continue to do so! The hosts have thought of everything for all ages of kids from games to kid dishes, as well as adults from cozy beds to a hot tub. Plus it’s so close to town we can shop or tube the river or hike the mountains for a waterfall view. This place is amazing! We LOVE Wilderest ❤️
