Locked out on arrival
We arrived around 7pm was given a gate code. The lock was very difficult to open and it was dark. We were given a code for the door to only find out couldn’t open because bottom door lock was locked. There is no cell service so had no way to call anyone so had to drive back to town and it took several attempts before getting anyone. They had to send a maintenance guy out like 40 minutes later to let us in. Bed is very firm as well as pillows are firm as well. They are countless cameras pointing all directions on the porch and looking at hot tube so you constantly feel you are being watched. Nothing really close to do any kinda of snow activity unless you drive over a hour. A lot of rules to follow at their property.

They stole our steak
Great secluded location away from town. Beautiful views, house is clean, cozy and has all the essentials. However we honestly felt like we couldn’t relax or we would be breaking all the rules. There are signs for everything which can be helpful, but it was a bit much. Even pictures on how the cabinets should be arranged so we felt like we where being micromanaged. We followed all the rules we read and hopefully did it right. I would recommend this place for sure, but maybe tone back a bit on the labels.

Wonderful Mountain Get Away
My husband and I were looking for a cabin in solitude to celebrate our 31st Anniversary. We enjoy the Fall season and the colors in the Mountains this time of year. This cabin was very cozy and peaceful. We ate breakfast on the deck at sunrise and enjoyed morning, and evening hot tubbing. The night sky was amazing!!! So many stars and the crisp, clean air was refreshing. Day trips to Wolf Creek and to the Great Sand Dunes were very easy. We ended each evening by the cozy fireplace. It was a wonderful get away!

Beautiful Cabin with amazing views
This cabin was very comfortable and better than described. They've thought of everything. I also liked the detailed instructions and the labeling of light switches. : ) Overall a very clean cabin; the kitchen was well equipped even though we only made breakfast at the cabin. There is also a gas grill on the porch. The wraparound porch is a beautiful place to enjoy the views and wildlife! It was very peaceful and we enjoyed the water feature too. Hosts were available via text to answer any questions and they responded promptly too.

Absolute tranquility
We had an wonderful stay at Sage N Saddle! The pictures do not do it justice at all. You can tell this is a well loved home. The attention to detail was amazing. Everything from the log furniture, super comfy beds, stylish light fixtures, cabin themed dishes, fun assortment of Keurig coffees, the plush robes, all the laminated tip sheets in the kitchen showing how to put the dishes back (that is a serious help when putting thing back in the cabinets) down to the little notecards with tips in all the rooms. Our family of four enjoyed the swing on the wrap around deck while soaking in the mountain view and playing cards in the upstairs loft game room. I made several amazing meals on the grill and in the well appointed kitchen. The hot tub - just wow. The glow of the surrounding cities along with the outdoor lighting around the hot tub was so serene. We were lucky enough to visit during a full moon. The moon rising over the mountains while in the hot tub is a view I will remember forever. Pretty sure my daughter will always remember Sebastian the cat. They seemed pretty taken with each other. Kim and her daughter were only a phone call away with any questions we had. This mountain getaway was exactly what this weary soul was seeking. Thank you so much for sharing your amazing cabin.

Wonderful get-away
The house and surroundings were perfect for a getaway to stay away from crowds. The owner was extremely responsive and helpful in every way possible. The home was very clean, comfortable and did not disappoint in any way... We cooked all meals in the home and had everything we needed to prep, cook and present beautifully. Pagosa Springs is a simple and beautiful day trip destination and a must for a restful and unique experience in the hot springs!

Beautiful, scenic, peaceful cabin getaway
The cabin exceeded our expectations. Well equipped and attention to detail. Everything you can possibly need for a relaxing vacation. The panoramic views of the mountains in the distance were just amazing. Beautiful to watch the sunrises and sunsets from the patio. Love the hot tub! so great to watch the scenery and nature during the day and stars at night. The cabin is secluded and peaceful, but at the same time only a short drive into town. Lots of great hiking in the area too. The owners provide such clear and detailed instructions throughout the whole booking and check in process, as well as recommendations for nearby excursions. We had such a relaxing and enjoyable time! great to get away from the stresses of work and everyday life!

Heaven on earth
My sister and I rented this property for a long weekend get-away and it did not disappoint. The house itself was absolutely beautiful and the views were even more spectacular. It’s far away enough for complete solitude yet close to towns and most any kind of recreation you could want. The hot tub was our favorite feature. During the day you can’t beat the view of the mountains, and at night the view of the stars. The only thing we would have changed was the sheets. They had flannel sheets and we much prefer regular old cotton. But that’s certainly not enough to keep us away for the next time.

We were excited to get to the property after seeing the photos. Those photos, as great as they are, do not do it justice! Every possible detail was covered either in the layout of the cabin itself, the property and its amenities or by the wonderful people managing our stay.

Great views and easy communication
The property is vast, beautiful, and secluded. Includes a TON of amenities and kitchen is fully stocked with appliances, dishes, tupperware, etc. Kitchen has a lot of counter space and was a great fit for my group's cooking needs. We loved spending time in the hot tub looking at the stars. My group and I spent time in Penitente Canyon climbing and were only about a 3o minute drive from the cabin to the parking lot. Communication with the host was super easy and efficient. We texted the few days leading up to our trip and throughout the trip if we had questions or concerns. The cabin has two bedrooms with queen size beds and a fold out futon with a mattress also big enough for 2 adults. Both couches in the seating room are loveseats, would not recommend an adult trying to sleep on either. 6 adults fit comfortably in the space with plenty of room to mingle, gather, and relax.

The cabin was incredibly clean and had everything you need for a great stay. Kim was an amazing host. Easy to get a hold of and the check in process was very smooth.

We were looking for a cabin in the middle of nowhere with a beautiful view of the mountains that still had all the comfort of home, and maybe a few more luxuries... and this cabin more than delivered! You can tell the owners took such time and care to organize everything so that you really don’t need to bring much. There were personal touches all over the place and more amenities than I could list here. Our family will be back for sure next year!
