Great location, beautiful home!

We had such a great time at this house! The kitchen was perfect and stocked with everything you needed! Plenty of areas for movie nights, relaxing and playing games with your family! It was about 10 to 15 minutes to downtown Pagosa and the neighborhood is Quiet, which we love!!! We would stay here again as it was very clean, exactly like the pictures and convenient to town, but away to the quiet country as well!

Perfect for a girlfriends getaway

The property was perfect for our weekend away at the hotsprings. Several girlfriends and I stayed at Pagosa Highlands to celebrate a birthday and the house was large enough so that everyone could spread out and have their own space and the large entertaining area was perfect to bring us all back together. We cooked all our meals in the well appointed kitchen and relaxed in the hottub. I'd definitely recommend this house to anyone staying in Pagosa with a larger group or family.

Beautiful home and location!

We had a wonderful vacation here. The home has everything you need and plenty of space for a big family. We enjoyed the beautiful mountain views from the main living area. Bedrooms were very comfortable. The hot tub was nice to have after a long day on the mountain. Itrip team was in touch and everything went smoothly. Will definitely book with iTrip again in the future!

Big mountain views

Beautiful property in Lake Hatcher neighborhood which offered a more secluded feeling while still being close to town. Terrific mountain views. Our pets loved the fenced in backyard. We saw deer daily outside our windows and wandering the neighborhood.

Excellent Stay

I enjoyed the home and was even pleasantly surprised by the quality of the kitchen products (as we cooked all our meals) this was a huge bonus. There was lots of little things that made an overall great stay. The view out the living room area and loft was amazing. My teens loved the game area and outdoor living space. The fenced area was perfect for our four legged family members as well. I would stay here again no problem.

Loved it!

We will definitely book again through this company! 5 of us stayed here with our pups for a ski trip to wolf creek area! We loved the house and all the natural light, super clean and, it has a great kitchen for family style meals and a cozy upstairs for games. The house is in a very cute little neighborhood which is great for dog walks. We drove about 50 minutes to the mountain every day!

A perfect get away

The property was incredible and just as advertised. I can’t begin to explain how beautiful and quiet the location of this home was. We visited for my 30th birthday and to get some well deserved rest and relaxation. The house was well stocked with everything we needed and when contacting management, we were met with quick and courteous service. If you want to spend time in Pagosa Springs, this is the way to do it.

This was the most well equipment short term rental we have ever rented. They had virtually everything on site. It is always a nice feeling when you first arrive to see that the property looks even better than the photos and this one certainly did.Our large family gathering ranged from 2 years old to 84 years old and the layout, beds, baths, etc. were perfect for our diverse group. If we are ever back in Pagosa with a large group I would definitely rent this property again. My only very small, slight complaint was that the grass had not been mowed in awhile making it less than ideal for the 2 year old and the dog. The yard itself is huge and the dog loved exploring. (A grouchy neighbor complained if our dog made a sound but that is not on the property owners.)

Snowy getaway

House was even better than pictured. My three boys loved the house too. So much to do we found ourselves not even wanting to leave at times. The place was so clean and so much thought was put into this place. The details were everything! Would stay here again and again. Even the neighbor came out and talked with us and let us borrow his amazing sled and showed us where to go to play.
