The cabins are right by downtown Pagosa, just blocks from restaurants and several hot springs. They back up onto a park with a bike path which was especially nice since there were some shared bikes for guests to use. It was just as clean and comfortable as a hotel, with a little bit of added privacy. It would be perfect for a multi-day stay, though probably a little too limited for a week or more.

The bathroom door was a barn-style sliding door, which didn’t do a lot to block sounds. There was a table in the room, but it was too small to be useful for much which could be annoying if you wanted to eat dinner or something in the unit. Some of the windows were permanently blocked with an opaque film which cut down on natural light a bit. These are all pretty minor cons though.

One of the BEST hotels we've ever stayed in - every detail was thought through from a design perspective. We were travelling with kids and the bunkbeds were a huge hit. The quality of the sheets and bedding were excellent and every amenity was thoughtful and anticipatory. Parking was easy, check in was easy, and we felt super relaxed upon arrival. Great location - we were right on the river walk. Plus! Even though it was too cold for us, they offer bikes for town use.

Great vibe, community of several units in a court yard for socializing or not. Super quiet, heated floors are a treat, spacious, and the small fridge actually has a real freezer. Great walk in shower, king bed with two bunks in a nook to themselves plus all the basic stuff we needed. Able to walk to great restaurants on the river walk.

Be sure and spend some time with the hand control unit for setting room temps. Also, have your logins for streaming tv if you have to resort to that?

The cabin had a modern aesthetic and was well-appointed. The Drift is in a prime location, within walking distance from downtown restaurants and amenities. We especially appreciated the quick, contact-less check-in.

Because this is a new property, we had a bit of difficulty navigating to the location. As The Drift becomes established, there will be more information readily available to potential lodgers. We have no doubt that this will become an incredibly popular property!

Such a fantastic spot!! We were able to go not long after it opened and so thankful that it was a bit spur of the moment as it wouldn’t have been open if I’d planned far ahead! We stayed on our way to telluride from Dallas. The options for stopping are not great so we decided to try Pagosa springs this time after going through on our last visit. The drift was so great. Facilities are so nice, location perfect. We wet so pleased with our stay and will absolutely be back!!

Loved the outdoor sitting area and fireplace! Wish we had more time to sit around and chat with the other guests while enjoying the outdoor vibe and landscaping, the bikes were a great surprise! Little things like plenty of charging ports and great lighting, extra blankets for a chilly night, and close by parking were all much appreciated.

The room was clean, the bed was comfortable, the in floor heating was nice.

There was no on-site front desk, it was all online. We decided to stay last minute and it was hard to figure out how to check-in. However, once I called the phone number he was very helpful and got us the information we needed.

What a terrific place to spend time in Pagosa Springs! The owner Chris was very helpful and quick to respond to any requests. Very dog friendly! Bikes available and we could walk along the river right outside the property. We really enjoyed our stay!

The cabin was beautiful, clean and modern. Location was perfect.

If you're looking for constructive criticism I have 2 comments. 1) I never like a barn door separating a bathroom, it's not very private. 2) The king pillows were too hard and compact, the mattress and other bedding were great.
