Great spot right on the San Juan River. The porches, fire pit, Jacuzzi are awesome for relaxing. The cabin is well-furnished and comfortable. Anything you could possibly need is right at your fingertips. Overall, a solid place to stay if you want a scenic getaway.
Our trip was amazing because of this private property! Our boys, 16 and 10 years old, were able to be kids and used all of the added amenities…archery, axe throwing, s’mores, fishing, hot tub! The back deck was amazing and you could hear the river so well. Location was great. We wish we could have stayed longer!
We had an incredible family vacation staying at this fantastic cabin on the river!! It was charming, homey, and relaxing while being very close to all of the fun things we did during our stay! The host was wonderful and so accommodating! She gave us many suggestions for things to do with our kids and good places to eat. It really helped us get the most out of our trip! We stay in several Vrbo’s every year and this was by far the best experience we’ve had with a cabin and host! We can’t wait to come back and make more memories!!!
It was our first time to visit Pagosa Springs and it exceeded our expectations!! We wanted a true cabin feel and we got just that! It was beautiful We will be back!

Mac’s crib is phenomenal! Right on San Juan River, wide open deck with hot tub, tables, lounge chairs, hammocks, fire pit, bbq pit, on and on! Watching satellites, meteor’s, and UFO’s (at least we couldn’t identify them!)!!! Didn’t wanna leave! She took care of everything!!! We will be back!!!
Great location between Pagosa Springs and Wolf Creek

We love our location too, it truly feels like true Colorado and the movie “ A River Runs Through it” it’s great that Wolf Creek is a short 20 minute drive and to town 10 minutes, to eat and all the hip restaurants, shop the boutiques and soak in Hot Springs that we all love ❤️ Although the Jacuzzi on the deck, over looking the river is our favorite soak, with the brilliant stars above! I hope you loved our cabin too! Thanks for staying with us and please come back again!
Cheers! MAC & family!
We had a wonderful time at Mac’s. The location and amenities were perfect. We had an issue with the coffee maker and she had a new one delivered to us the same day! Coffee on the deck is the best start to the day. So quiet and relaxing. We would recommend this home to others in a heartbeat!

Coffee on the deck is one of the best parts of anyone’s stay at our cabin or at least mine and yours! Spirits at sunset 🌅 on the river might out rank the coffee! Hats off to Walmart and their delivery in 40 minutes or less! Of course, I left the driver a BIG TIP! We’re happy you enjoyed your coffee and stay! Happy 28th anniversary too! I’m so glad you had a celebration at our cabin!
Thanks for staying your us and we hope to see you again!!
Cheers!

I almost hate to tell people what an amazing place this is because I want it all to myself. There are no gotchas here. Cabin on the river, hot tub spa and huge deck under the stars, large property, perfect distance outside Pegosa Springs, fun toys for the kids. All of it. And the assistance from the owners is the best I’ve had from a short-term rental. Made for a perfect vacation. The hiking and music scene and dining and springs are all really incredible. Worth the drive for sure. Thanks Mac!

Thank you for staying with us! What a great review! I feel so HONORED and I’m filled with GRATITUDE from you mentioning, that I was the best STR host you’ve ever had! Awwww! 🥰We were honored to have such a nice couple stay with us too! We are so happy that you both had a perfect vacation at our home/cabin! We hope to see you again, sooner than later! Bring the family next time too! All seasons have something fabulous to offer! Cheers & many blessings! MAC & family❣️
I’m so glad y’all enjoyed your stay with us! We hope to see you again soon! Thank you for taking the time to write a review for us! Cheers MAC & family!!
My family of four had the most amazing 5 night stay at MAC’s hideaway! I’m always wishing to freeze time with my 9 and 12 year old, and for one week I felt like I did. We fished in the pond and the river, cooked dinner on the deck, and enjoyed the hot tub. My favorite part was coffee in the morning watching the wildlife. This cabin exudes a life well lived. We are so thankful we got to experience it!

Thank you for sharing your thoughts of your experience and time at our cabin, that’s such a beautiful summary of your stay! That’s exactly how we feel when staying at our cabin, like we’ve have taken a step back in time. We equate our times there to the days of Andy of Mayberry, Little House on the Prairie, and The Walton’s! We love to walk or ride our bikes down to Rainbow 🌈 pond and whistle the theme song of Andy of Mayberry! When we arrive to our cabin, we immediately sit back, leave our hectic life’s at home and just relax by the San Juan River, with a deep breath and sigh of relief and pleasure. My favorite days in summer and fall are sitting on the side porch rockers, with coffee in hand, while watching the beautiful hummingbirds feed! Of course, first you need to fill those feeders, since we have an abundance of hummingbirds daily. I also love having my morning coffee or happy hour by the firepit on the deck, as I watch nature and the river flow by! I’m so glad y’all enjoyed your stay and had that wonderful experience with your two children, those are precious moment that flee to fast in one’s life. Thank you again for staying at our little gem of paradise on the San Juan, and loving our home like we do! We 100% hope y’all come back again, year after year to relive these moments with your lovely family!
Many Blessings to you and your family,
MAC & family!

MAC & family❣️
Mac’s Hideaway was absolutely perfect. The setting is incredibly quiet and serene, and sitting outside listening to the San Juan River was probably our favorite part. We used the grill constantly and ate outside by the river—it’s hard to beat that view and atmosphere.The house itself is extremely well equipped. It really feels like the owners thought of everything you could possibly need, which made it feel much more like a home than a rental. We also loved having the bikes available and took them out for a ride along the river.The location was fantastic for exploring the area. We were close to Pagosa Springs, Treasure Falls and Wolf Creek Pass, but when we came back to the house it felt peaceful and secluded.MaryAnn was wonderful—very helpful and welcoming, with lots of great recommendations for restaurants, sightseeing and things to do around Pagosa Springs. Her local tips definitely made our stay even better.We only wish we had more time here. This is one of those places you’re genuinely sorry to leave, and we would absolutely stay at Mac’s Hideaway again. Highly recommend it!

Oh my! Look at those steaks and that yummy corn on the cob! You both enjoyed our cabin/home like we do! Lots of great times just on our deck, we believe this is the best part of Pagosa! We love to BBQ, be outside by the river, jump into the jacuzzi and sit by our fire morning to night! Yes, we hike or fish, and do fun adventures but our favorite part is just to relax from our hectic daily city life’s away from stress, noise and people. Morning coffee ☕️ to happy hour 🥂and ending our day on a clear night stargazing, with a fire and soaking our cares away in our Jacuzzi! I love providing tips to our quests so they don’t miss any of Pagosa’s highlights. I’m glad you enjoyed our bikes and the San Juan! We truly believe that “MAC’S HIDEAWAY” is our little slice of Heaven on earth! Thank you for caring and loving our home like we do! We hope to see y’all again real soon! Cheers MAC & family❣️
Everything was amazing. The host was awesome and hope I am able to return for another relaxing vacation. I would suggest anyone looking for a place to stay this is the one.

Thanks for taking the time to write a review for us but most importantly thanks for staying with us. We can’t wait for you and your family to come back! Have a great school year and fall! Cheers MAC & Family!
Our family of four loved our stay at MAC’s Hideaway! Everything was very clean and well stocked. It is just 20 to 25 minutes from Wolf creek and less than 10 minutes to Pagosa. The accommodations are very comfortable! We have stayed in the SJRV many times, and I would put this at the top of our list. The deck is right on the river and the hot tub was absolutely first class. Would definitely recommend for a family of 4 or 5!

We enjoyed the hot tub, fire pit, and the creek. Town was close, but we enjoyed being out in a quiet neighborhood. Cabin was very comfortable.

So glad you had a wonderful stay That creek… lol is the (San Juan River) but I agree it looks like a large creek in Late September - November! Perfect time to fly fish in our backyard! In late spring and summer the SJ river is a 4-5 star kayaking river and goes all the way to town, NOT for the novice kayakers!
I love September and October with the gorgeous weather and mountain falls colors!
Thanks for staying with us!

Incredibly comfortable house and outdoor space right by the river. This was the ideal location to stay for our Spring Break ski trip. The star gazing from the hot tub to wind down the day was the perfect touch.

5 STARS! 🌟 🌟🌟🌟🌟! Thank you for that and taking the time to write a review of your stay… we really appreciate this! I’m so happy that your 4 children had a marvelous time at our cabin! Reading this review makes me so happy! 😀 Since, I raise 5 children in this cabin every summer, that are now are grown, having new children feel the magic of our cabin brings such joy to my heart! ❤️ I try to keep up the same ambiance from when my children enjoyed all the amenities and adventures at our cabin, summer after summer. Now my 5 grand children which are the next generation, also enjoy it too! I also, have filled the cabin with decorative decor to create romantic time for couples, and honeymooners too, so it has a great combo to meet all guests needs. I personally love my ladies trips which happens annually! Thanks again for staying with us and we hope to see you again next year! Cheers MAC!
