Very modern and clean property. Well designed with easy parking and access to the Main Street.
If you are looking for a place in town and convenient this is a great choice.
Beautiful property in a great location!! The accessibility is so convenient & the rooms are comfortable & modern. We only stayed one night, but next time we'll plan to use the outdoor grill & bonfire area. Highly recommended!!
Easy and fast to book, the room was clean and had lots of space, the bathroom was beautiful, management was very friendly . Loved it next time we are back in town will definitely stay again
Was hesitation due to the non standard set up but do not let that deter you. This place is easy simple and very well done. Excellent job Drift! Recommending to every one heading that way.
Cute collection of 14 (excludes the number 13) cabins right on the San Juan River Walk Trail. We were able to watch the hot air balloons right from the patio! The cabins are very clean, beds are comfortable, and my kids loved the bunks! Conveniences include pedal bikes, a communal gas grill and fire pit. The hot springs are within throwing distance and pretty much everything is a short walk. We plan on returning and would recommend this to anyone!
We stayed in several properties during our trip, but this place was our favorite. Contactless-management sends you a code via text to get in to your cabin. The area was clean. They had a grilling area and fire pit area. Very nice place. I highly recommend.
The Drift is a very unique property, with stand-alone individual units, like having your own bungalow. They are very new, clean and modern. Very comfortable and convenient to downtown Pagosa Springs and beyond. Easy access to the trail along the river as well. Highly recommended!
I especially liked the stand-alone units. It was very roomy, very clean and modern. The unit appears as it is shown in the pictures. It was close to the walking trail along the river and a few restaurants. There is no one onsite, but a entry code is provided at 12 noon on the day of check-in, along with a number if any issues. We would definitely stay here again.
Very happy with our stay. Close to restaurants and hot springs. Small cottage concept was fantastic. Lots of outdoor tables and seating. Loved the fire pit.
