Location is great and the king/bunk bed combo room is perfect for traveling with kids. Easy walk down the path to the river, hot springs, and dining options. Only complaint is that the cleaning supplies they use are strong and the linens gave our skin a reaction. There’s a strong chemical smell when you first open the door. Other then that, it’s a great cabin concept with picnic tables and firepit area.

If you're visiting Pagosa Springs, this is the place to be! This charming, family-owned establishment offers a warm and friendly atmosphere that makes you feel right at home. The room was impeccably clean and incredibly comfortable. I was particularly impressed with the shower – sparkling clean and a delight to use! During our stay, we enjoyed strolling around the area as everything is within walking distance. It truly added to the charm of our visit. A special mention goes to the owner’s father, whom I had the pleasure of meeting. He was wonderfully kind and welcoming. I wholeheartedly recommend this delightful place to anyone visiting Pagosa Springs!
