OUTSTANDING! Everything about our stay at The Drift was top notch. Passing through Pagosa Springs on our way to Santa Fe from Mesa Verde, we needed a place to rest and relax for the night. What a gem this place is; we couldn’t have been more pleased. Well-planned and executed indoor and outdoor spaces made us feel safe and comfortable. The cabin was clean and tidy, with all the amenities we needed. Don’t hesitate to stay at The Drift! You’ll love it.

This is such a great lodging option for parents traveling with kiddos. Ours really appreciated the bunk bed option. We loved the little kitchenette which allowed us to enjoy our after hike beverages in glasses, which makes a big difference when you’re in vacation mode. We didn’t use the fire pits because we were also visiting with family staying nearby, but they looked like a wonderful place to take in the mountain scenery. We’ll give them a shot next time we’re in town.

I LOVED my stay here! The room was beautiful inside and had a ton of space and modern touches. The kids loved the bunk beds. My daughter even said she wished she could live there during college. It was one of the best places I’ve stayed. The price was so inexpensive with how perfect it was. I will absolutely only stay there every trip I take to Pagosa Springs from now on!
