About this property

Knotty & Nice: Spectacular Lakefront Home with Fireplace, Games, Paddleboards, Minutes to Uptown!

HOT TUB COMING SOON! Please check with us on the expected installation date.

Enjoy front and center views of gorgeous Lake Hatcher from this fantastic home. With its modern design and decor, beautiful aged wood and floor to ceiling windows, this home provides tons of natural light and views in every direction. A perfect hideaway directly on Lake Hatcher, Knotty & Nice (like it's sister property, Hot Toddy) boasts beauty and elegance with rustic lodge-style characteristics. The duplex home is in a quiet setting. However, you could have neighbors next door, staying on the opposite side. Each side of the duplex has a large deck sectioned off for your privacy where you can sit with a cup of coffee or glass of wine and take in the views and watch the local wildlife meander by. Geese, deer, foxes and eagles are frequent visitors here!  Although you will feel secluded, uptown amenities are only 5-10 minutes away. Enjoy all of your favorite Football teams and sports games on TV included with your rental! You won’t regret the memories and scenic opportunities this special home has to offer!

Be sure to check out "The Hot Toddy" listing if you have a bigger group.  This is a duplex complex with two identical sides that you can book together for larger groups and be in the same area!

**SNOW CONDITIONS may arise during your travel days or your vacation stay. Main roads are maintained throughout the day; however, many side roads receive less attention, and every driveway has a different terrain. For your safety, 4 Wheel Drive/All Wheel Drive or two-wheel drive with accessible chains or cables is recommended for Colorado travel from November to May.
***Here is a great link for Local Weather forecasts and road conditions- https://pagosaweather.org/2024/10/16/lots-of-snow-in-the-snow-mountains-this-weekend/

*Every Sunday football game is available on every TV in the unit *
*There are security cameras on the exterior of the building for your safety on these premises.

HOUSE LAYOUT:
This delightful home is an exciting blend of modern and rural living, emitting both in interior and location. You will feel transported to the great outdoors while still within city limits, having both easy access to in-town amenities and immediate access to mother nature. Inside, framed with absolutely stunning wooden design and color, you'll first find the full kitchen and dining area. The impressively quaint living room will sit behind this area, stocked with large bay windows from the floor to the ceiling, comfortable lounging, and an inviting gas fireplace. Between the living room and dining area is a half bathroom plus, washer/dryer for convenience. You will also have direct access to the outside rear of the home/lakefront through the doors past the living room fireplace.
Lastly, on the main floor, the Master Bedroom guarantees coziness and relaxation while hosting its own spacious bathroom.
As the house opens up, you can take the stairs upwards to the guest bedrooms; one on the right and the other on the left. Both rooms provide additional abundant natural lighting and sufficient sleeping space for all. Between both rooms is another bathroom to share, equipped with the necessities of every commonplace full bathroom. If the living area seems too far for the guests in these rooms, there is a charming living space in the loft between the two rooms. This upstairs living area is equipped with a fun air hockey table and a well-stocked pile of board games.
The exterior of the home promotes rural living, nestled between forestry and waterfront country. There is an abundance of solitude and open-air whilst being near easy access to Pagosa Springs. You will never forget this location.

Beautiful Getaway

We stayed for a long weekend. The place was perfect for our family of 4! We enjoyed the area and paddle boarding on the lake. The kids didn’t want to leave and asked when we can come back!

Great lake house!

Our stay at the lake was great! The views are great. It felt private, despite being attached as a duplex, and the lake is awesome. We paddleboarded every day. The lake is a bit hard to get into if you aren’t very agile, as they don’t have a dock or path cleared. The house has all the basic supplies which made our stay easy. It’s 15 minutes from downtown and right off the highway. We like to walk in the mornings, and there isn’t any ideal walking areas right out the door. But with the lake right there we took advantage of being on the water instead. We were a bit warm during the summer day as the only room with AC was the primary bedroom. It would have been great to have AC units in the two upper bedrooms as well. But overall this house is a 5 star stay!

Nice Place

The unit is very nice and the attention to detail and comfort is evident for the interior. Location on the lake is great and close to town. The scenery is incredible. We enjoyed fishing and paddle boarding. Our experience would have been better if the yard was maintained in some way. It was overgrown weeds and dirt/mud. The weeds detracted from the view and made lake access difficult. It rained pretty much every evening and turned the yard into mud, which made it tricky since we had a dog. Again - great place. We enjoyed our stay very much. Just some minimal yard maintenance would have made our stay perfect.

Very nice!

Our family really enjoyed our stay here. Loved being next to the lake and enjoying coffee sitting out on the porch each morning. The house was well stocked and had everything we needed to enjoy our stay. Very clean and comfortable. The only thing we had an issue with was not being able to stay cool during the day. The house would get pretty warm, especially upstairs. We didnt realize there was only one ac unit and it was in the master bedroom. It didn't cool things down very well. Our kids were very hot upstairs.

Peace and Quiet.

This is an exceptional getaway for friends and family who want to enjoy a peaceful, beautiful and comfortable home on the lake. The deck is spacious and well equipped with chairs and tables, both shaded and in the sun, with views that only Colorado can offer. You will find everything you need including very comfy beds. :). Highly recommend!

What a view!

This property was gorgeous, and the view was absolutely spectacular! We came to Pagosa for a long weekend with our kiddos to enjoy the hot springs, also amazing, and coming home to this comfy property felt like home. With cozy bedrooms, a stocked kitchen, and a beautiful view, we couldn’t be more comfortable. This had everything we needed. Thank you for the enjoyable stay and a place to make new memories! 😊

Great stay!

This was a wonderful rental. Clean, quiet lake location. Very responsive mgmt when we had a very minor problem with the freezer door handle. the only suggestion I have is that the heat is not as easy to regulate as we were led to believe with Alexa. I highly endorse this listing.

What a fantastic place!!

We had a great time and "Knotty & Nice" really met all our expectations and more. The pics are very accurate, very modern kitchen and appliances, very comfortable bedrooms and living room. The deck was outstanding and a great place to just sit and relax, grill dinner or star gaze after dark. We took some day trips and also had a lot of fun with the kayak and paddle boards. We had a great time and will definitely look at staying here again.

Amazing stay! All the comforts of home with wonderfully relaxing surroundings. Had everything you want/need for a comfortable stay. Managers and owners go above and beyond. We felt welcomed immediately. Lots of communication to make sure we had everything we needed and recommendations for activities and food were just a text away.

Serene Setting - wonderful amenities

This property is tucked away—feeling private and serene. The breathtaking views of the lake can be seen from everywhere in the house. I loved the country quiet while being just a short drive from town, hot springs, etc. We loved having access to a huge game cart, paddle board, air hockey table, and more. The beds were exceptionally comfortable—no cheap scratchy sheets. It was the perfect base for our hiking, shopping, eating, swimming adventures. Just the calm we needed after a long drive to get there and high energy outings. Would stay again!
