What's nearby

  • We took a 5 day rafting trip down the San Juan. Our second camp site at Hanaker had an amazing hike up the canyon wall to a look out over the river and canyon. Very hot hike, but the views were amazing. If I did this one again, I would probably go in the morning. The raft trip itself is pretty easy, only one Class III rapid. Anyone with a boat and camping gear could do it :) #Hiking Photo Travel Sweepstakes

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.

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 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!

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.

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.

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!

Beautiful property and conveniently located

The location was breathtaking and very conveniently located to downtown. The hosts were lovely and we enjoyed our stay. Just know if you book during the summer months that this cabin does not have a/c. We happened to be there during an unusually hot weekend and it was tough to get comfortable the first night. The host did bring us a cooler fan and that did help quite a bit.Overall we loved our stay and would book here again.

This cabin was just as reflected on the website. It was a rustic cabin on a beautiful property that we were able to explore and walk all over. The owners were so kind to help is out in bind when the alternator went out on our Jeep. There were a group of friends who meet up at the ranch to spend time together who were all friendly and helpful as well. The river is a little walk away from the cabins but when you get there is is a perfect spot to fish or let the dogs play. Our golden retriever girls loved hanging out with Ritchie the ranch dog.
