Log Cabin: National Forest Access, Hot Tub, Pets

Step off your deck onto a private trailhead into the San Juan National
Forest. Pagosa Forest Lodge is a 4-bedroom log cabin sleeping 8 — the
kind of place where the group ends up in the hot tub watching deer drift
through the meadow, or around the fire pit under some of the darkest
skies in Colorado.

LOCATION
• 20 min to downtown Pagosa Springs (coffee, Riff Raff Brewing)
• 20 min to Pagosa Hot Springs (world's deepest geothermal)
• 45 min to Wolf Creek Ski Area (480"/year avg snowfall — most in the US)
• 1.5 hr to Mesa Verde National Park
• Driveway is well-maintained gravel — AWD/4WD recommended in winter

GOOD TO KNOW
• Water: the cabin runs on a cistern (delivered by truck, not piped in).
Plenty for normal use — just skip 30-minute showers and run full
laundry loads. Helps us avoid an unplanned water delivery during
your stay.
• Wildlife: deer and elk are daily visitors. Bears occasionally pass
through — keep food indoors and trash lidded.
• EV charging: ~$5–$10/day based on usage ($0.12/kWh), billed after
your stay.
