The Drift is a great centrally located hotel/studio that is next to the San Juan River in Pagosa Springs. You're easily within walking distance to the hot springs that is across the river. The hotel is simple to find. It is a newly built, very modern hotel and is more like a studio apparent then a traditional hotel which my family and I prefer.

This place is excellently designed for the stay in Pagosa Springs. Close to downtown, pools and shops. They thought of everything you might need in the cabin and the cabin is efficiently built. Great for me and two teenagers.

I cannot tell you how much we enjoyed The Drift! We went on a ski trip with friends, who had a lot of kids with him. The cabin are well-planned with plenty of space and great sleeping design including the bunks. I really appreciated the blackout shades to block exterior lighting. Loved the patio design with bbq & fire pit. Close to the river and The Root coffee shop were a bonus. Initial driving locations were difficult but once we knew where to turn, finding The Drift is a breeze. Definitely a do-over!

I LOVED my stay here! The room was beautiful inside and had a ton of space and modern touches. The kids loved the bunk beds. My daughter even said she wished she could live there during college. It was one of the best places I’ve stayed. The price was so inexpensive with how perfect it was. I will absolutely only stay there every trip I take to Pagosa Springs from now on!

These modern cabins are super nice, and are right downtown within walking distance of the river, a great local cofee shop, and all of the shops and restaurants along with the hot springs. There is a nice covered patio at the property as well as a gas fire pit with chairs in the courtyard between the cabins. Loved our stay here and would definitely stay again.

Our cabin was better than expected! Having dishes and glasses was unexpected and nice to have. However, the refrigerator/freezer makes a noise when it is running. Also, the alarm clock went off but we didn’t set it. But overall, this was a great place to stay. Thank you
