This property is nothing short of amazing. It’s sits Right up on the San Juan River and very private. It’s very close to town if you need something real quick but just outside of town for to seclusion and privacy. We Love the little canyon it sits down in. One weird and strange thing is the animal bones sitting less than 50 yards from the cabin just up off the ground in a little tree house. Now that was a bit creepy. Mentioned it to the host and just got a shoulder shrug. My family was a bit concerned about it. To each their own I guess.

Cozy Vacation

Our stay at Mask Ranch was very relaxing. The home is a perfect size for a 4 person family and there is so much to do on the property. We were welcomed to a warm, cozy home with a decorated Christmas tree! This was our second visit to Mask Ranch and we hope to return during the summer to take advantage of the beautiful property and and to tour Pagosa Springs.

Perfect

(Winter Jan 2022 stay) If I were to purchase a property in a great location with access to a cute town, skiing, hiking, exploring, and fly fishing (50 yards from the front door on the San Juan)…..this would be it. We drove up to the property and were welcomed by a single Elk grazing through the snow. And then we entered the river cabin. It felt like home with its very comfortable and cozy vibe. Unpacked and lit up the wood burning stove which is easy to light and maintain throughout the stay. The furniture is very comfy and invites you to sink in and chill. And, the cabin is well insulated and keeps the heat on cold nights. We skied Wolf Creek into early afternoons and then fished the river until dusk. If you like a solid mountain to ski and then catching winter Browns right out your front door, this is the place. Definitely coming back for the summer. Thank you so much for sharing your property with the World!

Special location close to town

This little cabin was ideal for a quiet getaway for our family. It feels like you are secluded, especially at night, while being close to town. Loved the cozy feel and convenience to the San Juan River and Pagosa Hot Springs! Though we spent more time inside playing board games which was fun too.

Best Vacation Rental Ever

Photos do not do this listing justice. You have a river right outside your door and private ponds everywhere. Float in the river or get a ride to town and float right back to the house. Amazing!

So Beautiful

We loved staying in this house, and can’t wait to go back again! The house is very clean and well equipped. We are a family of four, and the size was just right for us. Our children loved fishing in the river and the ponds, as well as tubing the section of river on the property. We loved the privacy and the quiet, and enjoyed watching the deer pass by several times a day. The property manager, Kim, was very helpful and friendly, and give us lots of greens from her garden to eat. This was the perfect place for us! We couldn’t have been happier.

Just perfect!

I absolutely will be back! The peace and tranquility is just great!! We had plans but we chose to stay on property the entire time just to unwind listen to the beautiful river, fish the stocked ponds, watch elk, mule deer and tons of geese. Amazing how peaceful it was but only 1.7 miles from the heart of Pagosa.... you would never know when you're there! Not a single complaint.. and when I stay at hotels its 4 or 5 stars. The cleanliness, and courteous was great! The attention to detail of not having toxins in the house and so many "extras" were even organic....WOW! JUST GREAT! Thanks for sharing your ranch!
