Family fun

We loved our stay here. It was the perfect size for our crew. We loved the additional house that allowed one family to have their own space. The house has a beautiful view and we loved the whole property.

Great place for a big group.

We had four families with us and we had plenty of room to hang out. The kids loved running around outside and playing in the snow.

Mountain getaway

We have a BIG family! We could not have been happier with the accommodations. The house is roomy and well laid out with 2 family rooms and a well stocked kitchen. High chair, stroller, pack and play. They had everything! The owner checked on us and was right there if we needed anything. I we also used the bunkhouse. It has its own kitchen and living area and sleeps a lot of people!!! The area was beautiful and right on the river! We will definitely go back!

Exceeded Expectations

The online pictures don't do this property justice. The house is an older ranch style house that feels authentic and comfortable. It is beautiful. The layout was perfect for our large group. We were 3 couples, 2 singles and 12 young people. There is a separate den with french doors and fireplace which was used by those who needed a break from our large group. It was perfect for college football viewing. The great room has a gas fireplace and is open to the kitchen and dining area. That room was used daily for reading and winding down. We had 10 teenagers/young adults who stayed in the bunkhouse and it was perfect. It is just across the driveway from the main house, but far enough away they had some privacy and space to play games and stay up late if they were so inclined. The house is about 20 minutes from town, but we enjoyed being away from it all. The owners are onsite. They were available and responsive to any communication from us, but other than that we did not see or hear them. We have been coming to Pagosa for 10 years and this was our favorite place we have stayed.

Why they chose this property

The Paradise Ranch borders the San Juan National Forest in southern Colorado. We have vacationed in the area since we were young. When we were looking for a property to open our event and wedding venue we were instantly in love at the first visit. The Ranch offers space, privacy, views galore, and the location we wanted. With the Blanco River running through the property, the private access to the forest and the close proximity to Pagosa, everyone will be happy with this choice.
