Pagosa Springs, Colorado
With unsurpassed mountain views, this property consists of a three-bedroom luxury log home nestled on 20 acres with a pond and unobstructed views of woods, meadows, and mountains.
This is a vacation retreat your family has always dreamed of -- nestled in an expansive valley only 10 minutes from the resort community of Pagosa Springs, Colorado. Your vacation at Mountain View Ranch will be a one-of-a-kind experience, allowing you all the privacy you desire with all the conveniences you deserve. Imagine waking up to majestic mountain peaks overlooking a private valley and sipping coffee on the deep back porch. Or grab a blanket and a glass of wine as you retreat to the porch for a spectacular mountain sunset. Off the porch is a patio with a fire pit where you can enjoy S’mores and hot chocolate while stargazing at the brightest night sky you’ve ever seen.
Views to the north reveal the San Juan range and Pagosa Peak with their spruce, fir, and aspen forests. Nature abounds here regardless of the season. We have seen Canada geese and mallard ducks on the pond with their babies, elk and deer, and even foxes diving into the snow for their breakfast all from the back porch! Enjoy the hummers and numerous other area birds at the feeders as well as red-tailed hawks and great blue herons. You may even glimpse a bald eagle or golden eagle as they soar above. All to be heard are the sounds of nature.
The single-story home is built with full logs of hand-drawn Canadian spruce and is nicely appointed with a spacious feel. With three bedrooms, two living areas and an impressive master suite, this is a retreat your friends and family will talk about for years to come. The living room boasts a picture-book view of the mountains and a stone fireplace with gas log starter. The main living area has an open design with a large dining table that seats eight. The recently updated kitchen has new granite countertops, new ledger stone backsplash, new sink and dishwasher, new cooktop, and new overhead lighting all installed in 2020. The large central island seats six. The master suite features a king-sized bed, walk-in closet, and a luxury bathroom with jetted soaking tub and tiled shower. French doors open from the master bedroom onto the back deck where you can enjoy a stunning view of the San Juan Range. and access the seven person spa. Each of the guest bedrooms have queen size beds with closets, and the south guest bedroom opens onto the front porch. The separate study can be closed off for work or online meetings and can then be opened up to serve as a second living area with access to the front porch. It also has a sleeper sofa. In-floor heating means the house stays toasty on the coldest days and you’ll never step onto a cold floor. High speed wireless internet and steaming TV are included.
There's a separate horse stable with an upstairs apartment where our property manager lives. You will never know he is there unless you need him.
We know you will enjoy the peace and solitude of this special place with national forest access just across the road and an abundance of hiking, ATV, and snowmobile trails to explore in the nearby mountains.
Mountain View Ranch will meet your needs perfectly in all seasons. Wolf Creek Ski Area boasts more snow than any Colorado ski resort and is only 28 miles away (visit https://wolfcreekski.com/ for more information). Back at the ranch, a well-plowed and maintained driveway will allow you easy winter access not only to the ski area, but also the famous hot springs and downtown shopping. A sledding hill in the back yard makes things even more fun if you plan on bringing the young ones (or the young at heart!).
Once you've visited, we are sure you'll want to come back!
We had a great stay at Mountain View Ranch in October. You will not beat the mountain views from this home. We found the home very well stocked with everything we needed. The layout and size worked perfectly for our family of four. We look forward to visiting again someday soon.
This property is absolutely amazing! Mike has thought of everything. We had all the essentials and then some. All our group could say was when are we coming back. We will definitely be booking this property again.
This was a return visit for my husband and me. We were here in the autumn and saw the elk in the distance and this time in winter - though the calendar says spring. How beautiful to be in this perfect house with the beauty of winter right outside our windows. Awakening in the master bedroom and seeing the colors of the mountains change is glorious. This house and setting are perfect in every way.
This custom built handcrafted log home was absolutely stunning. The home has exquisite detail through out the home to satisfy the most demanding palate. Built in a beautiful setting overlooking Pagosa Peak, you feel right at home and don’t ever want to leave. Very thankful family here from northern NewYork! -Chris
This home is super cozy, amazing views, excellent owners and very accommodating. They think of all the extras and we loved cooking and playing games with our family. It is a beautiful home and excellent place to stay for the price. Would rate 10 out of 10!!
Our stay was incredibly special, as Michael's place exceeded our expections in every way. The home was beautiful and perfectly appointed. The land/location was beyond beautiful, with breathtaking views. The manager, Moe, immediately responded to our questions. It was a wonderful place for our family to stay and we would give it more than 5 stars if we could. Thank you to Michael for sharing his home with us.
This house was amazing! We loved the location, despite having stayed in Pagosa years prior, but always on the Wal-Mart side of town. So it was nice to be closer to the springs, shops, and sledding hills. We loved that it was out from the city, in the midst of the expanse of all that pristine white snow. The interior of the house was impeccable. We were impressed that there was an abundance of shampoo/conditioner/soap in all the bathrooms. Not every VRBO location is so generous. We were also given a new bag of trash liners and laundry detergent upon arrival - how thoughtful! It took us a day to figure out how the radiant heating worked, but once that was settled, the house was absolutely perfect. There were plenty of kitchen essentials (bonus for the insta-pot that we used!) and bathroom towles and pillows/blankets to accommodate all of us as guests. We had a slight hiccup while baking pizzas in the oven, which unfortunately set off the smoke detector. Little did we know that the detectors were hooked in with the security alarm. But the property owner, Michael, rang right away to ensure everything was ok and walked us through resetting the security alarm. Use of one side of the garage was a definite plus! Also for our convenience was a sled and firewood. It was wonderful to enjoy the nice wood-burning fireplace in the evenings after a hard day of playing in the snow. We've already told several of our friends about the house, and would love to be able to come back to stay another time in the future.
This is the second time in 3 years my family (8 of us —grandparents, parents, and kids ages 1-14 years) has spent Christmas week at this property. It is a beautiful and spacious house. It has everything you need to feel completely “at home” right from the moment you walk in. It has stunning views. I love it that you have the property (acreage) all to yourself. And IF you happen to need anything, it is only a few miles from town. Michael has always been very quick to respond to all of my questions. He had the house decorated for Christmas when we arrived. It was awesome! Super impressed! The on-site caretakers checked on us and gave us contact information in case we needed anything. The driveway was cleared each day which was a huge help. The sidewalks and deck were also taken care of after the snow built up. We are already looking forward to our next stay. If this property has caught your eye, go ahead and book it. You will not regret it!
Highly recommend staying here. Beautiful cabin with spectacular views. Everything you need to enjoy your stay. Great location just outside of town.
It was a joy to spend time at Mountain View Ranch! The house is comfortable and beautiful itself, and the location is a quiet setting with stunning views , lots of wildlife, and room to roam. The house is luxuriously furnished, neat and clean, and well maintained. While we were just one couple, the house is fully equipped and has plenty of room to entertain a family group. The owners and managers were accessible, helpful, and gracious. To list one highlight of our stay, it would be returning to the house in the afternoons - tired and hungry after a day of hiking and exploring the area - to relax and enjoy the scenery and wildlife from the back porch.
