The cabin was right on the water and the host was amazing. Everything was wonderful and we will return soon! If you are looking to get away and enjoy some quiet time, this is the property for you.

Ms. Joan's Log Cabin on Lake Pagosa was LITERALLY the perfect spot to celebrate our 4th wedding anniversary this Fall 2023. We are already missing it and can't wait to go back soon! Great location to Pagosa Springs downtown (about 7 min. drive) where there is shopping, restaurants, and of course the hot spring where you can dip your toes, legs or if you're brave enough, submerge entirely after a long day of sightseeing, trail hiking, etc. On days you find yourself wanting to relax, which we took few during our stay, the cabin itself fulfills this! Lake Pagosa is steps away from the front porches with a floating dock where you can fish, take the kayaks, paddleboat and canoe around the lake, and/or read a book while watching the wildlife around you. We were lucky enough to see deer a plentiful in our backyard! In the early mornings, you can see the hot air balloons floating in the distance or above the lake which made us take a tour of our own! Once of a lifetime experience and bucket list item for sure. We recommend Pagosa Adventure! *Grilling outside was a great treat as well! If you are a hiker, the cabin sits in the middle of many trailheads in the Pagosa Springs area. Make sure to hit Treasure Falls and Piedra Falls as these are gorgeous makings of nature. Great trip and the best place to stay in Pagosa Springs! Ms. Joan is a wonderful host and makes herself available to answer any questions we had! Thank you for sharing your home with us!

The home, property, and lake completely lived up to expectations. The only negative would be to say that there were a ton of cobwebs inside and outside, I broom every once in a while to clean them up would make a big difference! Otherwise, I completely recommend this rental!

Pros - Views are wonderful at all times of the day. Great fun watching ducks, fish and deer. The cabin is very close to the lake. The kitchen is well equipped. The ground floor bedrooms are spacious. The dining area is small but we enjoyed the table for meals, games, and simply talking. The ice maker is wonderful. Cons - The entry into the house is very narrow with no rail. If you have any mobility issues, it could be difficult going in and out. In the pictures it appears the cabin has lots of space. It is stuck in-between two other houses with a garage apt at the top of the lot., There is little room outside and little privacy. We were not allowed to use the fire pit. The upstairs bedroom had ventilation problems. The solution we were given was to open a window. The upstairs couple slept on the couches downstairs. Not good. The cabin needs updating. For the price, it was not as nice as we had hoped. We were not sad to leave. Pagosa Springs is a great place to visit. We had lots of fun. We hope the cabin works better for you than it did for us.
