Our youngest son married a woman from Pagosa Springs and moved there to raise a family. We enjoy seeing our family (especially the 2 Colorado grandkids) but do not like to impose when visiting. When we travel from San Diego to visit we stay at the Golf House. It is a place of peace and quiet after a busy day with the family.
We had never been to Pagosa Springs until our son moved there, but after visiting fell in love with the area. The combination of seasons, outdoor activities and pleasant, down-to-earth people make this a second home for us.
