Great Location

Had a great stay at the Cedar Cabin, excellent location for all our planned activities which included, snowboarding at wolf creek and the hot springs in Pagosa. Property has beautiful views, a nice pond and very friendly dogs. They have excellent communication and we all enjoyed our stay. Looking forward to coming back in the future.

Weekend in Pagosa

Great weekend up in Pagosa Springs. Our snow sports got cancelled due to lack of snow in town, but we found a lot of fun for the kids on the ranch. Great little walks, wonderful animals and friendly staff. We came for sports, but got great relaxation which is just what we needed.

There’s a reason we return every year!

Sunset ranch is the perfect distance away from town. Has excellent fishing, and hospitable owners/hosts. Richie the Ranch Dog is our buddy, and is very friendly. We love coming back as often as we can.

Great week at Sunset Ranch!

We had an excellent week at Sunset Ranch! The evergreen wooded setting is restful and pastoral. Cedar Cabin provided for all our needs. Richie the giant Golden Retriever was our host, companion and guide for our stay. Thank you to the entire family who shared their ranch with us! We look forward to our next visit!

Fun getaway

The property was beautiful with both a stocked pond and a river within easy walking distance. My husband did some fishing and caught a variety of fish. The hosts were very responsive and easy to communicate with. This is an excellent property to visit and relax in. It’s also close to Pagosa Springs if you want to shop or eat out. We would definitely recommend it.

Great time!

This house was in a great location! It was close to the downtown area and easy to find. Having the river on site was perfect and our kids spent hours playing there! The kids also really enjoyed playing on the tire swings, playing with the dogs, and exploring around. Lots of outdoor fun! The house was clean, welcoming, and well equipped. The property owners were friendly and helpful.

Beautiful property

A great place to get away and relax. It was peaceful with beautiful views. A nice, short walk down to the San Juan River to fish or just hang out. Some traffic noise from Hwy 160 but not too bad. Ritchie the Golden Retriever was a welcome companion and the owners were kind and gracious and respected our privacy. This will now be a regular destination.

Great location for families

Lovely property with room to explore along the river or pond. Richie the golden retriever is a sweet boy. Some minor issues in the cabin itself but the owner helped out. Could have been cleaner too. We would still visit again. Close enough to town to enjoy activities but far enough away to feel in nature.

Vallecito Lake

Nice and cozy cabin with 2 large bedrooms with king size beds. Large bathroom with nice shower. Fully stocked kitchen with gas stove 😋! Living room kind of small for more than 2-3 people but there's so much to do in the area we weren't there except at night. Rented a pontoon boat for a couple hours to cruise around the lake (highly recommended!) We will definitely return!

Great Property!

Place was spacious and clean. The property was incredible. You can see some of the corners they cut while fixing up the place though and there is a bit of maintenance that needs to be done especially on the entry slider door and the grill outside. Kept feeling like I was going to break the door while going in or out and the grill should be thrown out immediately!

Christmas

We had a great stay at Sunset Ranch -Cedar Cabin. The fact that they welcome dogs is superb! Benny enjoyed meeting Richie and seeing him each day on the porch. Our dog Charlie as infatuated with Bell the cow. My daughter and I also enjoyed the horses and cow. The location was perfect as we were in town to celebrate Christmas with our daughter in laws family who have a cabin nearby. The weather cooperated and we had a white Christmas. Definitely recommend.

Overall we had a good time at this cabin mainly for its property location and everything on it. The view is amazing. The river beach area on property was a lot of fun. Their ranch dogs are very sweet. Downtown area and grocery store are very close. The cabin itself, however, needs some improvements. We don’t care about small stuff, but the AC not working made nights almost unbearable. We contacted the host about the pilot light in the fireplace giving off heat into the living room, which we thought initially was the cause for the heat in the cabin. They promptly stopped by to turn it off. But unfortunately it didn’t solve the heat issue. Other than the heat issue during the nights, our days were relaxing on their porch and fun in the surrounding areas. If you don’t care about AC, this cabin is a great place to unwind and enjoy breathtaking views.
