Tanya, 1-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

Great Stay highly recommended.

We loved our stay at the drift! The cabin was clean spacious and I love that you’re not sharing a wall with anyone. The location is perfect walking distance to downtown and the hot springs. Being alongside the river was so nice too! Highly recommend!

Wonderful stay at the drift. Very comfortable and great location. Hope to come back again.
Cheryl, 3-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

Great place to stay. Has just the bare necessities, but everything you need. Very close to hot springs. You will have to deal with the sulphur smell, but that’s pretty much the whole town.
Hessel, 1-night trip

8/10 Very good

Cozy spot next to the river
Bobby, 1-night trip

Yvette, 1-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

Doesn’t get any better. The builders did an amazing job! Did not cut any corners and this place is designed very well. I would stay here anytime. I have stayed in many places much more expensive that are not nearly as nice as this. Very well thought out.

The Drift: Where Chill Meets Charm

The Drift is the kind of place that makes you want to stay awhile. Its vibe is laid-back yet stylish, and even though the staff works offsite, the owner’s father personally stopped by to check in on guests—a thoughtful touch that made the experience feel warm and welcoming. The Drift strikes that perfect balance of comfort and cool.

Cool Cabins

Very cool group of new small cabins around a nicely landscaped common area right in downtown Pagosa Springs. Walking distance to hot springs and downtown businesses.

Weekend Trip

Place was very nice, new, clean, great location. Tasteful room decor and very comfortable bed.
Marion, 1-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

One suggestion we might recommend is to have cozier comfy seats! The plastic chairs are not very comfortable! We still love staying at the Drift!
Bradlley R., 1-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

Definitely loved this place. Very nice, spacious, modern rooms. Right by the river and walkable to shopping and dining. Will stay here again and recommend to all.

Bathroom door was off the wall easy fix I was able to get it back on track
Jacob, 2-night trip

8/10 Very good

The unit was modern. Liked that each unit is not attached to the other units. Close to river walk.
