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!

Best in Pagosa Springs for the $$
It was an overnight stay but we’ll definitely come back for a longer stay! The location is perfect; near downtown and walking trail alongside the river and near the natural hot springs! The unit is beautiful and clean and just right amenities (kitchenette, large shower, spacious, and comfy bed! The only addition I would recommend is 2 comfy chairs on wheels to roll where needed!

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.

Awesome place to stay in Pagosa Springs
We rode out bikes to Pagosa Springs for hot springs and riding the million dollar hwh. The drift was awesome. New, clean. Code to get in was sent ontime. Very comfortable. Outside is a gas firepit and they provide bicycles. Price was reasonable. There are bunk beds also for kids. This gets a 10 star review. Walking distance to hot springs. Highly recomended.
