In addition to the amazing spaciousness of the home and perfectly stocked kitchen, the beautiful river and scenery made the property even more special but the real treat was the amazing hot tub that we enjoyed multiple times each day.
My family had a wonderful time here! I especially loved the seclusion, and of course the river in the back yard. Thank you Rob and Laura for offering your beautiful home!
Best place I’ve ever rent in my life. The host was very attentive and everything was exactly how it showed on the advertisement. We’ll definitely be coming back here. This is 100% the best spot we’ve ever stayed at awesome surroundings best views in a great hot tub then I mention the rivers in our backyard
This house was perfect for our family. We loved the location near the creek, it was so peaceful. We loved that is was pet friendly and the hot tub was a great bonus! The property owners were very responsive and answered any questions very quickly.
It was so serene and quiet. It was a bit hot during the day, there is no AC and there was a hot spell in Colorado for sure. It cooled off at night!! The house has plenty of space for 4 people and pets. Puzzles, games, and movies for indoor entertainment. I love the little shaded grassy area overlooking the river. The hot tub was very relaxing in the evening. Check-in was easy and seemless. There really is very little to no cell service, but the wi-fi connection was nice if needed. We went up to disconnect, so that was not a problem for us. Thank you for the lovely stay.
We loved our stay at the ranch house on the river. The location was beautiful and the home had all the amenities. The hot tub was great! Our group skied wolf creek and enjoyed the town of Pagosa Springs. We would love to stay again.
We had a great time here at Rob and Laura’s. They were truly great hosts. The property is beautiful, and the house is lovely and clean with every convenience and necessity available. Can’t wait to go back in the fall!
We enjoyed our stay- plenty of room. It was great to relax in the hot tub after skiing while gazing at the stars. The house had everything we needed. Very clean. It was a little bit out of town but peaceful.
This place is a little off the main road but extremely worth it once you’re there. The house is very comfortable to just lounge around all day in if you want but the best part is the outdoors. The creek and valley views are awesome - even better while relaxing in the hot tub. We had a blast staying at this house and would definitely do it again in the future!!!
We had an amazing time! We were able to go to town and visit family and come back to the house and just relax. My two teenage girls thought it was amazing. They took walks, watched movies and enjoyed the hot tub.
If you are looking for quiet and “off the beaten path,” this is your place. Rob and Laura have lots of amenities so you couple hole up and never leave, but are only a short 25 min drive into Pagosa Springs if you’re wanting to venture out and explore. Our kids loved the bedrooms to themselves and the outdoor space was simply serene (of course the hot tub was a hit). Would definitely recommend this stay for a true get away.
Very nice home with lots of room to roam. Very comfortable and quiet area. Only downside for some would be the 5 mile dirt road to the property. We loved being away from every thing.
Really nice house with a beautiful view. There were a few things that needed attention, but the host was quick to get those things taken care of. The hot tub was on the fritz, but it didn’t matter. It was still a really nice place to stay for a few nights. You can’t beat the river in your backyard!!
Stayed 4 nights in Jul 2025
