Property details

This stunning home is situated at 7,200 feet in elevation on five acres in Pagosa Springs. It offers incredible views of the San Juan Mountains from almost every window. Beautifully decorated and full of elegant mountain modern detail, this property will welcome you home from afternoons spent skiing, hiking, or rafting with three gas fireplaces, an expansive deck with a raised gas fire-pit, and in-ground gas fire pit outdoors where you can reminisce about the day's adventures. As the kids play in the fenced backyard or entertain themselves in the third-floor loft (with an air hockey table), the parents can watch movies on one of five flatscreen TVs or retreat to a spa-like master bath with a dry sauna, a Porcher air massage tub, and a multi-function shower. The gourmet kitchen is fully appointed with a Dacor six-burner gas cooktop, JennAir double wall oven, and Keurig/Cuisinart coffee makers, plus a wet bar with two cooling refrigerators and an ice maker. The large dining room is fully equipped with a second dishwasher and a sink. Glen Elk Lodge sits nestled amongst the pine trees in a quiet neighborhood, allowing you to take in Pagosa's mountain serenity while only being a ten-minute drive from either the uptown cafes, boutiques, or the downtown hot springs and history. Whether watching a brilliant sunset, stargazing from the outdoor fire pit, or having fun in the game room, Glen Elk Lodge is the perfect Colorado getaway! In town, you can take a dip in the famous Pagosa Hot Springs or peruse a variety of art galleries, shops, and restaurants. You'll also be just four miles east of the Pagosa Springs Golf Club, 20 miles east of Chimney Rock National Monument, and 28 miles southwest of Wolf Creek Ski Area's fantastic winter slopes.

Beautiful cabin with great mountain views. Family enjoyed being able to play outside and enjoy the mountains and wildlife. Had plenty of space as well for the kids to play and parents to relax. Good setup for family time as well with board games and cards after dinner in the beautiful kitchen. Enjoyed the stay.

Great high-quality house we used as a base for our family of 5 to ski at Wolf Creek. The owner and house manager were very communicative and our stay was great!

We absolutely loved our stay at the Glen Elk Lodge. The home truly has everything you could want for a peaceful and relaxing mountain getaway, and it’s clear that every detail was thoughtfully considered. The lodge is beautifully appointed, warm, and inviting, making it the perfect place to unwind. The views are nothing short of spectacular, and the wildlife sightings made the experience even more special. During our stay, we were lucky enough to see mule deer, elk, turkeys, and more right from the property. Doyle and Nanci were wonderful hosts—welcoming, attentive, and a pleasure to work with. We couldn’t have asked for a better experience.
