This place is absolutely unreal. The barn itself is cozy, well stocked in the kitchen, and very comfortable. Literally no complaints. The river/swimming hole was our primary location for almost our entire trip. Our dogs had an absolute blast playing in the water and we floated in the river and just listened to the water. Chris, the host, was super friendly, helpful, and available at all times while still giving us our own space and privacy. Plenty of shopping and dining nearby. 1000% recommend this place for a getaway to unplug and just experience nature in peace.

We loved the “barn”! The house and the surrounding property were clean and so beautiful. The river, the stars at night, the peaceful quiet and the hummingbirds were our favorites! We would be so delighted to stay there again. Relaxing, accommodating, had everything we needed for a peaceful Labor Day weekend with family.

About the host

Hosted by Chris Durfee

Host profile image
I am a 52 year old contractor, originally from outside of Boston. Been in Pagosa for 30 years now. Hunter. Skier. Rafter. Love the outdoors. Professional hunting guide for Sundown and Rio Grande Outfitters. I live on the property and my rental is my guest house. I am an on-site host, and I ALWAYS give people 100% privacy. That stated, I've also made some life-long friendships through my rental. I've actually built homes for people I've met through my rental!! It's been a game changer for me!!! I've invested countless hours of sweat equity into my property over the years, and I LOVE sharing it!!! Being a host has been a very, cool experience!!!

Why they chose this property

Because it's simply beautiful. The Barn is super sweet. And there's a river in the backyard.

What makes this property unique

This property is simply beautiful. I have private access to the Blanco River, and a private swimming hole. Fishing is allowed, but please catch and release only. Also the property has a large pasture area of approximately 2 acres so all you horse folks can stay here!! Hunters especially welcome!! Awesome big mountain views are to the east, and you can go for a stroll across the street in the national forest. One unique benefit as a local in the winter time, is being located south off of Hwy 84. You get to avoid all the traffic headed downtown from the west side of town, which can be very slow and frustrating these days. As Wolf Creek becomes more and more popular every winter, the traffic is getting worse and worse in town. It can take a half hour sometimes if it's snowing, to get from the west side of town, to 4 miles!! YUCK!! I don't know about y'all but when it's a powder day, I HATE waiting in traffic!! Stay here, and you avoid ALL the ski and school traffic of downtown Pagosa. Lots of wildlife. Not uncommon to have elk and deer in the yard. Mountain lions have been seen too!!! When the conditions are right, I have a great hill in the backyard for sledding!!! SO FUN!!
